Magical Girl Quest - The Fire That Burns

Honestly the thing I'm more concerned about with Shrine maiden is that the light was coming for us? Like they would be there within that timeline?

Were we honestly meant to have a chance of fending them off?

Because by the sound of it all, trying to shrine maiden in spite of that would have just got us captured by the Light unless I am vastly overestimating their capabilities...

Which I somehow doubt.

1 week old magical girl vs. Ancient mysterious cabal with enough power to maintain a barrier around this entire dimension to keep out the demons is not exactly the fairest of fights.

So the shrine maiden never going to happen now? We really had no idea what to ask with what we got in return, there wasn't much to go on unless you want to tell us now?
 
Hm. Well, I guess we are going to have to start somewhere to try to prepare the world against the demon invasion in the future since the Light's barrier is breaking down bit by bit IIRC anyways.

I don't think this clocktower arrangement will be permanent. There's a lot to do imo. I'd like to go back to Forest Bro sooner or later.

The masquerade has to end sooner rather than later so that humanity can prepare. More magical girls will likely start popping up as the world deteriorates and demons start seeping in through the cracks bit by bit and Gaia prepares the ground to punt the demons back without having to act herself.
 
But Shrine Maiden would have put off making wifues which SV would never do.
Clearly, you don't know my dedication to making Waifu's

Why did Forest Bro like us enough to speak with us? Is it just the Magical Girls' connection to Gaia showing through there? Morgan made mention of the fact "they" have been trying for a while now, and never got a response.
Spirits are pretty aware of most things that happen in their area.
It's a Bro 'cause you need a Bro.

Since I listed it as a possible route, yes, you could have done it.
It's not like they sent everything they have at you.
Just a Scout.
(You could have Waifu'd her)

It's still a possibility.
But at this point I don't really see Cerys settling down to be a Shrine Maiden.
Perhaps in a few years and a dozen dead friends or so.
 
Do the continents network? Is North America bragging to Europe/Asia/Eurasia that it got one of it's forests burned down?
Cue us getting pestered by every forest we visit from now on.

*Cute, blushing girl pops up in front of Cerys* "W-will... O-okay calm down, you can do this." *She takes a breath*"Will You Burn Me Down!?"

Cerys: *Caught between cute girl holding her hand and basically giving a confession and what she actually asked for*

Morgan: "... You asked for advice from Gaia, didn't you?"

Dude... You had a scary unknown coming after us.

SV always runs when confronted with foes of unknown power via cryptic warnings.

You really have only yourself to blame for triggering our flight instinct.

Also staying in one place with the scary magical kidnappers knowing where that place is would just be postponing our capture really...

Sure the scout might not be a threat, but in the long term there would have been way more than just a scout coming after us.
 
YOU SICCED THE LIGHT (who we thought were American Magical Police and you made no effort to clear up) ON US! OF COURSE WE RAN!
Even forest Bro said we should get going as fast as possible, the entire narrative then felt like nothing but run as fast as you can.... this feels like another misunderstanding which we've now lost out on big time.

I really regret this.:cry:

Yeah that too... @Rukia you had the forest itself tell us that what was coming was bad news. Even if our own innate paranoia wouldn't have made us run that little tidbit sure as hell did.

It's not like you can't go back.
Just... later.

The Shrine Maiden route was the risk taker route, so I really didn't expect you guys to actually do it.
I'm just mourning chibi little Shrine Maiden Una.

I see no issue here.

"Does that mean best forest is wifu material?"
"Yes"
 
Eh I don't really regret the route we chose. Quests, especially ones like these, are quite open ended, and there's no point in dwelling too much on what would have happened if we chose another route.

Right now, we're safe, we have contacts and people (actual characters!) to talk to, and we can get an education and a place to train while being able to go all out where we don't have to worry about people chasing us down. All things considered I like the path we went down.

This Quest is completely open ended, I stated so on the first post.

If you guys eventually just give up on the way, you can retire and found a bakery to live in for the rest of your days.
The story will either end there or I'll jump to a (!SCIENCE!) Kid you had and continue from there.
Or Una, less likely.

Or, you could join the Darkness.
Or create your own faction entirely.
Or just say 'Fuck It' and go Neutral and be a Merc that fights for both sides, hang out with your Dragon Bro's.

If you can achieve it, you can do it.

What I'm saying is that there was no counter balance to stay, no incentive to make us feel like staying would have resulted in anything else but the light coming down on us hard. Like there wasn't much of a choice but to run because that seemed like the only option to take.

Sorry for still going on about this, just... damn it.

That is the intention I was looking to give.

I didn't expect anyone to try the route.
But sometimes SV surprises you.

EDIT: I'm going to sleep at 05:00
Seven minutes.
Last Questions be asked now or hold your peace for like... seven or eight hours.
 
I know you are super busy, but do you have a guestimate for that Magic Analysis?


Sadly not tonight. Maybe not tomorrow but I want to try for it.

Most of the time that I set aside for it gets either hit with an update and thus analysis of a different kind, or being asked to do something 5 minutes in.

And I am doing a read through the whole thread for it :V
 
So I wake up and you go to sleep... okay.
Let me just do the usual and leave a vote I partly stole from elsewhere

[X] Explore the base
-[X] Hang out with Morgan while you do that; maybe she can give you a tour and introduce you to whoever else is there?
--[X] Also, have breakfast once you get the chance
--[X] Apologise for making Morgan uncomfortable; you well noticed how unexpected your change in behaviour was for her during the... negotiation with Karen
--[X] Talk some magic with her; how do normal mages go about their craft? Any curriculum they teach which might help you?
[X] Go find Samantha
-[X] You actually do not have any legal documentation anymore; would the Clocktower be able to arrange something in that regard?
-[X] Ask her where we could find a swordmanship teacher to teach us
-[X] Also ask her if there are any ways for Una to receive a proper education


Asking Morgan questions is a good idea, but we have someone who was specifically tasked with taking care of these things for us.

Edit: Also, I noted down Q&A Sessions 3 in the Intel.
You do love giving me extra work, do you not?

Edit 2: Also put in a little more observation about Karen and adjusted her trust value.

Hm...
Now that I had a few minutes to think... I figured I will add a line about apologising to Morgan; she certainly did not expect Cerys to be like that during the initial encounter with Karen.
