Q&A #1
What did Plothax McGee do that gave Strength-chan PTSD?
No Magical Girl with such a name exists.


What is the NAME (as a magical girl, and possibly real name) and APPEARANCE of the Unified Darkness aligned magical girl who was mentioned here?
Her name is Magical Girl Primeval Earth, real name is [Redacted] and she appears in pristine white.


We know Rico and Eva became magical girls while being attacked and that Anna became one seemingly at random. What situation was Abyssal Knight in when she became a magical girl?
...should have seen that one coming.
Abyss Knight was at the receiving end of an extended rape session at the time.


How is our Mother doing after all of this bullshit that's been happening since we had to flee?
She actually recovered pretty well, seeing that Eva healed her up. Mother dearest is currently staying at Bianca's place and feels generally awful about her girls being on the run.
Mind, she is not at the "drinks to be able to cope with what happened" stage, but one rarely sees her smile these days. Bianca tries, though.




Note that I am answering the following two not directly. I am not giving away how you can achieve something. What I will do is give some general statements in that regard.
What would be the most efficient way for the twins to meet and befriend Magical Girl Heart of Light?
I am not sure this will happen at all. The way everything progressed, I am not sure I can include Heart of Light without shoehorning her in somewhere.
We will see how that goes.


How can Rico and Eva best reunite with their family?
Chances are good that this will happen at some point. Bianca is not easily deterred... and she is willing to move heaven and earth to get the twins back.


What is the name of place 3 in your list?
Magical Girl Unwavering Azure


So my question is can we have a more comprehensive run down of what happened in WWIII? If that's to broad a question then just how was the US destroyed during WWIII?
I am answering the bolded part.
Basically, this:
From my conversations with Naron while I was putting together that one omake, it was basically "everyone and their mother ganged up on us while our allies were busy with their own problems, and then the omnicidal morons showed up".
I'm given to understand that Nightmare Child was effectively the reason Europe survived in a somewhat intact-ish state, because she could effectively hold the entire border on her lonesome. Most places... Didn't have a Nightmare Child analogue.


"I'm in ur base killing ur doodz" ensued.
I would like to note that Nightmare Child was one of the few major reasons that Europe still stands. She was the firepower-related reason, though.

Even the great US can not do much when basically half of Asia comes knocking on their door, spearheaded by Russia. Especially when their allies are busy getting their own problems figured out.
People started to lynch their own Magical Girls out of contempt at some point and the trend came up the earliest in America... mainly because it was so easy, seeing how everyone and their mother (sometimes literally) has a gun.


As an aside, I am deliberately not giving out numbers or an exact retelling of how it went down; if I did, someone would just poke holes into it and cause more work for me.


Which magical girl(s) have the Star affinity?
None.


what's the twins favorite food, excepting ice cream?
Eva's favourite is pasta and Rico loves raw carrots.


How can we make it more likely for Ludger to survive if he ends up in a combat situation?
...how am I supposed to answer that? The logical response is "do not bring your corgi to the battlefield". Aside from that... I have something planned, which I do not want to talk about just yet.
Soon.


How did the Seasons join/meet each other?
It was chance, yes. Although a certain person had her fingers in that. Just wait for her, she will show up soon.

Anyway, the Seasons awakened... well. Spring and Autumn are actually sisters and awakened at around the same time, with Summer following in Australia and Winter in Germany. They all were integrated into their respective militaries.
When they heard of the respective others however, Summer and Winter jumped ship. Pretty dumb of sending Summer with the troops to Russia, was it not? Winter just... up and left, with no one being the wiser until she was long gone due to invisibility.


Is there anybody/anything which acts as, or can act as, a "natural weakness" to sun/moon? as in you could not find a worst opponent? that even if you got attacked by nightmare child herself it would be better then fighting them?
They have no natural weakness outside of the mechanical aspects that were already mentioned in this Thread. At least none I noticed.
Besides, there are two things worse or at least as bad for them as fighting Nightmare Child. Namely, Transcendent Strength and Unwavering Azure.


"What was the event that caused Bianca to obtain The Guardian, who else was involved in the event, and how did it play out?"
It was not just one event. The Guardian is an amalgamation of several other Abilities that she worked pretty hard for.
Anyway, if you want the event in general... it is called War. There were a lot of troops involved and it saw her being basically untouchable due to her Abilities while she fought things that should have been outside of her weightclass. Thus, The Guardian.




That was it. Thank you for your participation. If you have follow-up questions, feel free to ask. Just do not expect me to give away information as freely as here.



And just to put this discussion about Absolute Connection to rest... ugh.
It will not kill their individuality or ego. However, it will remove the few lines remaining that separate Eva from Rico, linking them as close as if they were one. The twins will still be there, though more of their interactions will be by thinking as one and less mentioning of who does what, as they no longer bother considering which part is who. @veekie got it pretty accurately.

Note that I am explicitely saying "more of their interactions", not "all of them".

Well we got a teaser in that we can bring others into our orbit, so I guess it might be similar?

An analogy here for any experienced driver: You are distinct from your car, but while driving you don't think in terms of what the steering wheel or the pedals do. You just know when you want to turn, you turn.

Something similar.
Rico and Eva won't need to keep sorting out who they are once the process is finished any more than you need to distinguish your legs from the wheels of your car. You know where the line is and need not check.

You nod and quietly follow her motion to the chairs in front of her desk. Ana takes the third one without a word, too. Strength looks between you and sighs before pushing a bowl your way. "You girls really know how to bring a rainy mood... cheer up a little."

In that bowl is candy. Brightly wrapped and... is that okay? You see Ana take one -her fingers twitch back for a moment-, so you do the same and take one each. The sweets do help you relax in the Japanese girl's presence.

"...still can't believe that actually works... anyway. Found anything, Ana?"
Heh, Good!Dumbledore's legacy in easing her dependents is strong in this one. :lol:

"I... when I heard the guns, I just ran out to help. I... uh... I tried to find out what's going on, but the first time I saw people was at the training place. And they had Arc..."

The training place? Huh, you were there just a bit ago, it was one of the places you did not get to during the fighting.. Now it makes sense that your friend got so gloomy over there and stopped talking to you entirely for a bit.

"She had no golems anymore and they tried to take her away, but I stopped them... I tried to."
Strength is taking notes, but her brow is furrowed and she slows down with each too-long pause between words. She gives Ana a long look before tapping her finger on the table, the knocking sound enough to get your friend's attention. "You don't have to continue if you don't want to."

Ana thinks about it for a moment and deflates in her seat. "I'm sorry..."

Rico takes her hand and squeezes carefully to show she is there. Ana is not alone right now. Strength, for some reason, smiles. "It's okay. You had to hurt people to protect your friends... feeling bad about it just shows that you're a good person."

"...I don't feel like one..."
Poor Ana! She probably had been forced to Prepare the Feast from them.
On a side note, about that possible omake I mentioned...
1) Who is Arc (Magical Girl name) and can she or anyone at Kibo create solid stone blocks for training/practice/landscaping?
2) So, somewhere we didn't go? So it's probably West, right?

Wait... Magical Girl Grand Architect: Recovered Alive, traumatised
Okay, she probably can, I can work with that.

Her name is Magical Girl Primeval Earth, real name is [Redacted] and she appears in pristine white.
Hooo boy. We're mostly white as well, glow aside. Considering how White Soul was also glowing white and clothed in white, given how Lucky viewed that battlefield of gods...
Mistakes were made, probably.
Even the great US can not do much when basically half of Asia comes knocking on their door, spearheaded by Russia. Especially when their allies are busy getting their own problems figured out.
People started to lynch their own Magical Girls out of contempt at some point and the trend came up the earliest in America... mainly because it was so easy, seeing how everyone and their mother (sometimes literally) has a gun.
Okay, what the eff did they do to piss everyone in Asia off? Nuke all the capitals of states with any kind of communist history? Assassinate every nation leader of the same?
I mean, it's not like "set the trend on magical girl lynching" was the tipping point, right?
...how am I supposed to answer that? The logical response is "do not bring your corgi to the battlefield". Aside from that... I have something planned, which I do not want to talk about just yet.
Soon.

Is that the same soon or two different soons?
It will not kill their individuality or ego. However, it will remove the few lines remaining that separate Eva from Rico, linking them as close as if they were one. The twins will still be there, though more of their interactions will be by thinking as one and less mentioning of who does what, as they no longer bother considering which part is who.
How close it is to A Miracle of Science group intelligence? No, not worried, just curious.

At least, how close will it be for Ana and others we include?
This is why we deserve the Horror Affinity.
Well, could be different - we could be supplanting the Horror affinity with Balance affinity of those we include in the group.
Might actually suit our theme - bringing balance to those who were cursed by the humanity's hatred.
 
1) Who is Arc (Magical Girl name) and can she or anyone at Kibo create solid stone blocks for training/practice/landscaping?
2) So, somewhere we didn't go? So it's probably West, right?
First of all: yes, Arc is Grand Architect. You should be careful what you say about her, though. And yes, she can make solid stone blocks.
And again, yes; Ana was in the West.


Now in order:
The "interventions" the US made over there in the last millennium ended up leaving them with quite a few enemies. Those countries just pulled their allies along, plus Russia and China being there as well.

It is a different soon.

I have no way to compare it to "A Miracle of Science", partly because I do not have the time to read through what you linked at the moment. No, this does not mean I want you to explain it to me.
Ana will start with a Basic Connection and become a player character if you include her. You can then upgrade that connection up to Complete Connection (what the twins have now); Absolute Connection is special for Eva and Rico though, she can not get that.





Now for something else.
@Raising Kittens
I quite liked your analysis of the current Shop Items. Not saying how much of it was correct, but the work put into this (and of those that joined the discussion about it) warrant a little something.

So please choose one Character Sheet on the front page you want to upgrade by one level. I will tell you if a sheet you want has already reached level 4, the maximum, so you can choose another instead.

I want Otherworldly Radiance first.
99% of the time I'd agree with you. But not now. Rico's Defense and attack is heavily reliant on her MM. Add onto the fact we'd still get a MM roll as well, Advanced Catalyst is invaluable. And Radient Conductor increases Eva's offensive power. Which she lacks for the moment.

Still, Otherworldly Radience is an amazing item I heavily desire.

Normally I'd agree to get Advanced Catalyst first, for that same reason, but I've got a good reason for wanting to get Otherworldly Radiance first.

If we buy Advanced Catalyst, then this means that Sun's MM becomes 5802. Look what this does to her melee attacks.

Sunlight Scepter: 63 Base Damage, +??? Dice, +5802 Veil of the Solar Goddess, * 1.5 Radiance

If the dice roll is 66% of maximum (3829), the Total Damage becomes 14,541. This number is higher than Moon's No Sell Threshold of 14,526.

That means that when they sync their attacks to double the damage, the Detonate effect on Sun's weapon has a chance of hurting Moon.

And I don't want to spend EXP leveling up Veil of the Lunar Goddess right now.

While I'd argue that such a thing just requires throwing Moonlight Scepter at the opponent I can see where things would go wrong. So you are winning me over. Keep in mind though that Otherworldly Radience may just be like Autumn's Aura. A small damage reducer. Not End Damage reduced by percentage reducer.

True, but even improving the per-level growth rate of Moon's Base Resilience (without making it exponential) would go a long way towards alleviating that issue.

The munchkin in me wants to rank up Ana's char sheet.

The role player in me thinks that that's a terrible idea.

Hm, any sheet with question marks on it probably isn't level 4 just yet... what to pick... lemme think about this for a bit (meaning wait for me to get home to where my dice are and roll).

Maximum sheet level is 5. Level 4 is when you know everything possible to know without them personally revealing it to you.
 
Is "know everything about their sheet except the things they don't know IC about their own sheet" level 4 or level 5?
Mmm...
Character Sheet Levels:

Level 1: Absolute basics that can easily be affirmed simply by looking.
Level 2: The 'open secret' stuff. Things that people know they have, but they don't advertise.
Level 3: The 'not secret, but not common knowledge' stuff.
Level 4: The hidden stuff, but investigation can still find. The things that the character doesn't really want other people to know about.
Level 5 (Max): The intimate things. Absolute trump cards that are only shared with close friends and loved ones. That they're willing to kill to keep that way.
Probably 5?
 
An example of what I was referring to would be how Team GEAR knows everything that Nepgear knows about her own sheet, but they don't know stuff like how Indestructible Core lets her survive lethal attacks or that she's granting them access to Progenitor Golems.
Like I said, probably 5.

Keep in mind though that Otherworldly Radience may just be like Autumn's Aura. A small damage reducer. Not End Damage reduced by percentage reducer.
My guess for Otherworldly Radiance is that it cuts in half the incoming damage, same as Radiance when used to defend - except without limits per turn like that one. This will just about double Moon's no-sell.

That said I want Shining Protector and the sooner the better. We're likely to survive it now, and it will give us a good idea of how to optimize it.

Sunlight Scepter: 63 Base Damage, +??? Dice, +5802 Veil of the Solar Goddess, * 1.5 Radiance
Alternatively, you could just not use Radiance?
Or maybe train to get the Detonate under control?

But of course that would be more work, so you do not even think about it :V

Maximum sheet level is 5. Level 4 is when you know everything possible to know without them personally revealing it to you.
Wait, where did that list come from?
...urg, I need to change a lot of things again. Or... not?
Seeing that sheets here start at level 0, I can just model it that way... that saves me some work.
 
Was that not shared before?
If it was, I do not remember it at all. Never heard of a lvl 5 sheet, so I assumed the maximum was 4.
...I also assumed that sheets generally start at 0 for some reason... but now I can not remember why.

Just to make sure... they count as OoC-knowledge, right? It is not required to make a character actually tell them about a level 5 thing for the sheet to reach that level, correct?
