Righty o, votes are locked.

And if you listen closely you can hear the wails of depressed voters in the background.
 
Masquerade {1}
You stare at the girl for a few seconds before making your decision.

"What do you say Stern?" You hear Hayate ask as you stretch your arms, "Want to take her up on the offe-"

"No need." You declare, "I'll take her on myself."

"Eh?!" The brunette responds, looking up at you in shock. "But didn't you just start playing
yesterday?

"So?" It's not even a concern in your mind. Maybe it is the years of wielding the sword, maybe it is something relating to the cross on your hand, or maybe it is just recklessness but you are fairly confident that you could handle this. Besides, this girl is a supposedly a "beginner" as well.

You doubt that. Even if you aren't an expert in fist fights you could tell that she has experience in the way she moved, not those of a little girl who had suddenly just picked up the art.

"Besides," you begin, a slight smile crossing your face as the words leave your lips. "I may have indirectly promised Vita a duel, and I can't do that if someone else has beaten her first."

Hayate just slowly turns her head to your sister's doppleganger, who gave a slight nod in return. "...Let him go."

"Well when you put it like that, how can I say no?" Yagami's owner chuckles, "You want to make a special entrance as well?"

"...Just turn the lights off for a bit."

"Righto!" The girl cheerfully declares as she pulls out her cellphone. Her thumbs turn into a blur before she suddenly looks up before giving you a grin. "You're good to go in three-"

You don't give her time to finish, jumping onto the wall behind you and beginning to run up it with your momentum as the stage goes black. Your eyes close and sound becomes your only companion as you run on the roof, mentally tracing the world around you before dropping right in front of your target.

To her credit the girl wastes no time at all in reacting, somehow managing to guess what was happening reacting in no time by sending a jab from her right hook flying your way. Your hands move by instinct and soon you're holding a little girl's fist in your left hand as the lights flicker back on.

She's tense, you realize, as you begin to take in everything you could see from a first glance up close. Bright red and green eyes look up at you in fear as you let go of her fist, feeling her hand squeezing in on herself as nails began to dig into the fingerless gloves she wore.

The girl reminds you of your sister, though she is dressed in much more casual clothes, a white hoodie and a pair of grey jeans. Then again, you suppose every little girl you've run into recently reminds you of Nanoha.

Your sister is weird like that.

Still, you couldn't let her be afraid of you, so you give her a comforting smile as the fear in her eyes began to transform into a fire as bright as the sun.

A moment of silence passes between the two of you as you size each other up before you give a response.

"I think I'll take you up on that offer."

"Well Signum, that was quite an entrance don't you agree?"

"I wouldn't call it exciting Shamal but I must admit it certainly got the crowd roaring for this fight."

"Speaking of, the match itself seems to be quite interesting ."

"I believe Reinforce is more capable of explaining this topic then I am."

"It would be my pleasure Signum. This duel is set to be a one on one match between challenger Kyouya Takamachi and new comer Vivio Sägebrecht in the Gladiator Arena, a special stage only hosted by our Belkan style. At first, it appears to be a normal colosseum but as time passes the environment inside the stage will drastically shift from a change of weather all the way to spawning new enemies for the duelers to deal with. Adaptation is the key for winning this fight, and those who don't get eaten alive by the Arena."

"Well you heard her folks! Now, let's get onto the part that you've all been waiting for!"

Adaptation, huh?

You look at the girl across from you on the other side of the arena, a flat surface filling the gap between the two of you as empty stone chairs loom above you from all sides.

Vivio looks much more relaxed now, doing a few stretches before giving you a cheerful wave. "Sorry for earlier, you really startled me mister!"

"Don't worry," You reply, "It was my fault for doing that in the first place."

"No no it's okay!" The girl insists, shaking her head. "Don't feel bad."

"I suppose we should get on with the duel then?"

"Ehe..." The blonde lets out as two cards appeared in her hands. "I guess I should probably tell you that I'm not an ordinary duelist."

"Well that's a good thing," You reply as you summon your personal card. "Because it just so happens that neither am I. Now then..."

A grin spreads across both your faces as you yell in unison.

"RERISE UP!"

<REACTOR ACTIVATED>
As the light begins to die down from your own transformation, you gave a quick glance at your opponent only to find the same older women you saw during Vita's fight.

"Well?" She asked, a bright smile on her face as her battle outfit formed. "You ready?"

Of course you were.

AN: If things seem a bit weird please note that I haven't gotten a solid beta yet. Three different betas have done the updates to this quest and each is different so I'm pretty sure the writing style may come across as different at points.

Well, you have some formatting errors this time (such as line breaks in the middle of a sentence, far from the end of a line) and a repeated grammar error (capitalization rules regarding dialogue got fucked up).

I guess a lot of people are really turned off by this quest huh?

I think I'll close the vote... eventually. I'll at least let 24 hours pass before I make a decision.
 
Quite frankly, it's hard enough to imagine one successful path, let alone three equally valid ones. Untraveled Road relies a lot on either keeping it unknown, which will soon be invalid, or knowing a lot about the opponent, otherwise it's fairly useless.

Also, without a good handle on what Kyouya can do, it's hard to play on his strengths.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blinks.

Pulls up the character sheet.


...I guess I better release this as soon as I can figure out BB code wizardry.

Hey I just woke up.

Probe and figure out what she does before breaking out the hax.
ViVid Vivio is a counterattacker, not sure about this one.
 
I have been informed that Daze requires assistance in matters of BBcode, and in accordance to my summons have arrived here in this thread about... Card games? Whatever.
I have arrived here in this thread about something Nanoha-related to offer my services. How might I assist you, young Daze, in matters most arcane?

Alright okay, let me see if I can describe it.

You know that whole thingy mabob where you have a bunch of info in like a grey text box with multiple tabs ontop that you can shift through? And then some of those tabs have tabs? And then you can put text in them? Do I need to grab a photo? Do you understand?

You talking about these things?


Accordions also work well for character sheets (both Lost and myself have quite a bit of experience with those making magical girl sheets that way............).

Yes, its the new themes. I managed to convince a kind soul to create a Stylish script that changes the Accordions to being the smaller and gray old style though. Oh, and the horizontal tabbed ones tend to be really buggy on mobile.

Going with the first option myself.

Now how to figure this out...
