Well, at least someone checks the character sheet!Alphaleph said:
Sure, if she can imagine every single particle in said explosion. Easierto create something explosive and then... well, make it explode.Jorlem said:
... What, like. Uncreating things out of existence? Nope.
Also, despite what looks like exceedingly little variaton between votes, it's been a long day, my house is sold, and I have raspberry friggin' sorbet to eat. You know what that means? It means I can't be bothered to go through and count every line of vote to see the details. TALLY HO, PLEASE!

As I said - this one turned out oddly.
Part 23
You are Cleo Brown.
Also known as - or will be, anyway - Princess Deathpunch. You would have gone for Sailor Cthulhu, but you don't wear a fuku and also aren't inclined to tempt fate like that. Besides, copyright infringement.
So here's the deal: you're sitting in the lounge, researching (watching magical girl animé counts as 'research' now, which is awesome on a whole number of levels), when the text comes through. And, y'know, you check it immediately, because of who it might be.
And it is.
Oh crap.
Without even pausing to switch off your show, you're up and moving, hurtling out the front door and ducking behind one of mother's neatly-trimmed hedges to transform like the badass you are, emerging into the air clad in pink and white witchiness, massive staff gripped tightly in one hand.
Also: you can now fly.
Kind of wonkily, true, but you'll get better.
Hyde Park awaits!
---
You're Rory Brown - aka the daredevil supervillain Wildstrike! And yeah, you only knocked over a jewellery store yesterday, but who cares? It was still supervillainy!
And more importantly, look at all the shiny loot you now have, huh?
Then the text comes.
You carefully put away those gorgeous, beautiful diamond earrings - there'll be time for running your hands through your hard-earned treasure later! - and slip out of the garage, making sure the door is securely locked. It's just storage anyway, so no-one should be look in there - all the same, it'd be better to find somewhere further away, just in case.
Strolling through the gates marking the house grounds, you start considering where to go to transform.
---
You are Pol Brown. Yes, just Pol. And if you've heard another name, perhaps a longer one, you can keep quiet about it, got it?
Right.
So you're Pol Brown.
Oh, and you're currently at the local college - where you aren't a student, obviously, being only eleven - taking an afterschool class in Spanish. Partly because Spain is a nice holiday destination and only a plane-ride away, and partly because it gets you out of the house and away from Cleo, who's become a magical girl and gone insane.
You're not quite sure how you feel about that.
On the one hand, well. It's... it's fairly impressive, isn't it? You were excited enough to see that portal in the street, even wanted to go closer, but... after the attack...
Things are a lot more dangerous in real life than on a TV screen.
Mrs Laine continues counting through numbers - in Spanish, obviously, while you pay only half-attention, staring at the projected images and thinking about more immediate problems than accurate pronounciation.
First there was the youma in the street. Then the... supervillain? Whoever she was, she didn't look like another magical girl, not like Cleo in her frilly dress. This was some kind of tight yellow bodysuit, and the newspapers were steadfastly insisting that no, of course the person who robbed two jewellery stores wasn't throwing bolt of electricity around, and the cameras had ben too fried to dispute that.
Online, however, the eyewitnesses had other things to say about 'Wildstrike'.
You... kind of hope Cleo doesn't end up going up against her. At least she didn't get an alert about Wildstrike's attack from that 'BFS' thing. Still, that lightning-girl was dangerous, moreso than the youma. Humans could think.
You sigh, absentmindedly turning a page in the Spanish textbook, when there's a rapid knock at the door. Mrs Laine pauses in her impromptu lecture regarding adjectives, and calls, "Yes?"
The door opens immediately, hurriedly, and you recognise the face, even though most of the head is covered in the hood of a boy's hoodie that looks too big on her. It's that - mentally-not-all-there girl. The one from the florists.
... What the hell is she doing here?
The girl blinks massive... red eyes? You didn't notice those before. Those - aren't normal. Contacts? "Is Pol here? I need to see Pol." She stands on tiptoe, peering around the room, and BEAMS when she sees you sitting there, staring at her. Isn't she hot with that hoodie and long-coat on? "Pol! Pol, hi! Someone you know is in trouble, 'kay? You should come with me!"
Everyone in the class is staring between the two of you now, including Mrs Laine, who's looking flustered. "I don't know her," you say quickly, and then regret it, because the weird girl knew your name. Still - that doesn't mean YOU know HER, right?
The girl giggles and bounces slightly on her feet, hands almost vanished completely under the too-long coat sleeves. "I'm Eito!"
... Oh boy.
"You need to go to Hyde Park okay?" Weird-girl puts on a serious expression and gives you a double thumbs-up. "Bad stuff! Go! You've been alerted!"
...
And then she turns and runs back up the corridor, accompanied by the sound of a slight skid across the freshly-waxed floor.
"Well," says Mrs Laine, question-sheets still in hand. "That was different."
You start gently bashing your forehead against your desk.

I'm thinking new spells for both. Still mulling over it though.Zen said:By the way, if you guys want to figure out some kind of reward for 'beating the baddies, yay!!!!', now would be a good time.
I mean, it won't acually come up, because they're both going to die horribly, but still.
How about:
Princess Deathpunch - Sphere. Creates a large, short lived hollow sphere of diamond around a target.
Basic shield effect, and extremely simple to create(pure carbon construct in a regular shape). Also useful for englobing enemies right before they fire their own attacks.
Wildstrike - Power Line. Creates a straight line of electricity that remains in position for some time after firing.
Basic damage over time effect, and due to ionization, would let her plan complex trajectories for lightning if she creates multiple low power, long duration lines. Or just as the beginnings of a railgun.

PD's is fine, Wildstrike would require more control for that. Honestly electricity is pretty control based. The only upgrade I can think of for her power is 'MOAR ELECTROSHOCK!', but hey, this is Spacebattles. I'm sure there's some bizarre electricity upgrade I haven't thought of.veekie said:

Yup. A straight line wouldn't, but shapeless field is fine.veekie said:

Princess Deathpunch - Sphere. Creates a large, short lived hollow sphere of diamond around a target.
Basic shield effect, and extremely simple to create(pure carbon construct in a regular shape). Also useful for englobing enemies right before they fire their own attacks.
Wildstrike - Lightning Ball. Creates a sphere of concentrated positive or negative charge. Duration, area and intensity depends on charge time and focus, with the charge dissipating over time.
That should let her play lightning bolt pinball. If she had better control, she might be able to do more weird tricks with it.
