The dice don't lie mate. Better change those votes if you want something with crack.
 
Any legit serious business approached by our character turns into crack anyway. So no point in shying away from it.

On the other hand... IS THE FORGOTTEN INTERLUDE ABOUT OUR COMIC BOOK COLLECTION!? NEVAH FORGET!!

    ---Lion City, California, Two Weeks Before Leona Arrives---​

    Mizuki's magic flared once more as she quickly stomped off the ground, jumping 20 feet into the air, thus dodging the burst of water that was blasted at her, before launching several throwing knives at the blond girl who had controlled it. The blonde dived into a puddle to her right, disappearing from view, before bursting out another puddle and launching another blast of water at Mizuki while she was in midair. Mizuki simply dropped down an incredibly fast speed, as if gravity was heavier. A brunette standing off to the side gestured to the water as it scattered in the air, and formed several icicles before sending them rushing at Mizuki. Mizuki didn't even look at the projectiles, twisting into a textbook ballerina spin, sending the icicles into a slingshot straight to the brunette at triple the speed as soon as they neared the white haired mage.

    The brunette could barely react in time, just barely parting the the swarm of icicles enough to graze her. The grazes left deep cuts, and she fell to the floor, her legs no longer capable of supporting her. The blonde screamed in rage, before rushing forward in a huge wave of water. Mizuki stood there, before gesturing with a single wave of a hand. The blonde suddenly slammed into the ground, her water splashing down around her. She began to sink back into the water, before suddenly being lifted up into the air. Mizuki walked closer, her footsteps echoing across the small courtyard they had been fighting in.

    "DAMN YOU! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Mizuki's facial expression did not change, being entirely dismissive of the threats that were screamed at her.

    "My my, such vulgar language. However, I have had enough of disobedient daughters." Mizuki made a single gesture, and the blonde's body was slammed into dry ground. The blonde tried to scramble back to the water, but felt extreme pressure being applied to her entire body. She couldn't even move. Mizuki looked up at the crowd of young girls gathered on the balconies above the courtyard where the battle had taken place.

    "Let this be an example. I own you. All of you. These two believed that they could go free. Leave this glorious family I have formed. That was incorrect." The blonde struggled desperately against this invisible weight. "They forget what I have done for them. For all of you. I took you outcasts in, and loved you like you were my own children. I gave you shelter from those mages in their community who would consider you lesser beings, to be disposed of like trash. I have shielded you from the gangs, who view you as a source of income, as slaves. I have protected you from the demons that hunt these streets, seeking to devour you like wolves would lambs. And all I asked in return, was your loyalty."

    "It is by my will you have homes to live in. It is by my will you have this family that cares for you. It is by my will that you have food to eat. It is by my will you have purpose! IT IS BY MY WILL YOU LIVE!" At this shout, the blonde girl felt the pressure increase, and caused her to scream in pain. "I am your mother. I care deeply about all of you. But, disobedience will not be tolerated. Those who betray me will be punished. "

    "However, I am merciful. Amelia will walk away from this scarred, but alive. She only strayed from the path, following another. But you, Jessica... I am so disappointed in you. One of my brightest. And yet you not only plot to betray me, but all of your sisters. It is with a heavy heart I silence your beautiful voice." Slowly but surely the weight increased, crushing Jessica against the ground She screamed and begged for help, but no one dared to move. Finally, there is a sickening crunch, and Mizuki looks away from the now unrecognizable corpse, her gaze falling on Amelia, whose face is fearful from her resting place on the ground. Mizuki's face sifts, becoming much gentler.

    "No need to be like that dear, Mommy loves you... Michelle, come down here and heal your sister. Amelia, I hate to ask this of you, but could you clean up the mess Jessica made?" Amelia nods rapidly, her face still frozen in terror. "Thank you, dear. Mommy needs to take care of some business. The rest of you, continue about your day."

    The balconies clear, the girls walking away, some shaking in fear, others completely unfazed. Mizuki herself turns sharply on a heel, and walks out the courtyard. A girl with bright orange hair stays, leaping down to Amelia, and channels a green glow into the wounded girl's body. Amelia's wounds close, and the orange haired girl walks off. Amelia lays there for a short amount of time, before looking at the mess that was once Jessica, and emptying her stomach on the ground, and collapses into tears.

    By the end of the day, the vomit and gore was gone, and the courtyard once again looked like another normal courtyard to an apartment complex. In the next few days, no one would remember Jessica's face. When the end of the week came, no one even remembered what had happened, or who Jessica was.

    ---PRESENT TIME, KAZUYA RESIDENCE---​

    It is with a large yawn that the great lioness awakens from her slumber. AKA, You just woke up. You can smell food cooking, but you should unpack, and check out the computer too. Plus, looking out the window, you can tell it's early, around 5:00 AM. You have time to meditate on your spells. Only one though.

    WHAT ARE YOUR ORDERS, CAPTAIN?!

    [] Follow the scent of food! Food is always a good thing.

    [] Check out that fancy computer! Maybe you could learn something cool!

    [] Learn a new spell!
    -[] Fortune! Its nice to have good things happen!
    -[] Curse! DOOM UPON YOUR FOES!
    -[] Karma! Balance in all things, Young Grasshopper!

    -------------------------
    (Whew, that took awhile to write. I just couldn't get the tone right for Mizuki, and spent ages trying to get it right, and even now I don't feel like I did her right. Glad you guys pick The Forgotten though, I needed to settle on what she was like, and kept flipflopping. I probably would have kept doing that for awhile. The Hero and The Bully would have also revealed some important information, but in my opinion, The Forgotten had the most valuable. Good choice guys. The crack pick had actually been The Hero, but would have had the least important information in it.)

    You sit up in your bed, and proceed to disregard everything around you, instead leaning against the head of the bed. Reaching deep within yourself, magic stirs, and rushes up in the form of knowledge. It is quite the rush, and it fades all too quickly, but it leaves a gift behind. A new spell.

    {Learned Fortune Spell: Random Shenanigans - Gain a charge. Use it to force a Random Good Event Roll at anytime. You can hold up to three charges at any time. Charges Reset upon Resting.}

    You decide to test this new spell, and proceed to cast it. It gathers magic, collecting in one central spot.

    {One Random Shenanigan Charged}

    Rising from your bed, you look out the window again. It seems like an hour has passed, and you can hear someone coming up the stairs, before suddenly your door was slammed opened, and a brown blur sped towards you at speeds you couldn't even react to. Suddenly you were tackled onto the bed, and pinning you down was a laughing Kate. You manage to recover your calm mood, and pretended you didn't see your life flashing before your eyes.

    "Hi Kate." Kate's laughter had been dying down, but your response sent her into another random giggle-fit. You manage to get her off of you, and shove away her grabby hands as you crawl out of the deathtrap that was once your bed. Rolling onto the floor, you stare up at Kate, who peers down at you from the bed.

    "So, what are you doing here?"

    "Well, that is one of life's greatest mysteries, isn't it. Why are we here? What is it we are supposed to do? What is our--" You stop Kate before she can go rambling on about things you don't care about.

    "No, Dummy, as in why are you in my room?" Kate, having been interrupted before she could get into lecture mode, pouts.

    "Breakfast is ready, so Mom told me to wake you up." Oh, so Kate's mom made breakfast then? What is she doing here? Deciding to discover the answers, you quickly take a shower and get dressed, before heading downstairs. What you see is a miracle. There is no possible way that one person could make that much. The entire dining room table is covered in food. But your eyes are drawn to one thing... chocolate chip pancakes. You knew you smelled something good, but you didn't think God had come down from on high just to make breakfast, and standing in kitchen is Mrs. Bridge, Kate's mom. You didn't really notice how pretty she was until now.
    Meanwhile, Aunt Kazuya was nursing a cup of coffee at the kitchen counter, grumbling under her breath.

    Wat do?
    [] Praise the Goddess. You are not worthy.
    [] "Good Morning!!!"

    • [X] Target Acquired. Direct Course to Pancakes.

    i just want a fade to black scene right after we take the first bite and the scene starts up again when the pancakes are done. us literally passing out and eating while asleep
     
    I hope that we become a magical juggernaut and make our family rue the day they thought themselves superior to our august self. That's the direction I'm gonna be voting in anyways.
