Voices From Beyond: A Skullgirls Quest

Stupid Shakespeare prop! Don't get in our way!

Here's my idea!

(Voice 4) Kid, before we do anything, take a deep breath ok? I know you're overwhelmed, but your head needs to be clear for this, this will be the only chance we got to catch Lorenzo unaware, so, while you have the final say, I think you should turn into a small bird to scout for a ventilation system, then once the nurse comes back with Lorenzo's location, you turn into a snake or a slug and slip into his location for a quick kill!
 
A/N: Marie has gotten the ability to ride someone like a skateboard along with the acting skills you also got her, she just hasn't paid it much attention because of the information you gave her. You did tell Marie that her best friend is now part of an organization that exists to kill Marie specifically and that she should husrry up on doing the one thing she's still really living for. She's taking all that, uh... not well. Also, Valentine is talking like that because she's trying to be polite so Marie doesn't get mad at her and revoke her "being alive" privileges. She's just trying to do politeness in a "ninja-y" sort of way. Marie wanted help, and the Skull Heart gave her some. How nice of it!

...Yeah, I always knew she was gonna take it hard...but honestly, its better now for her to find out than later in the battlefield where it can affect her more. Basically, was better to rip the bandaid now. We will need to have her relax and have some chill time after this is done, but vengeance cannot be delayed any longer!

Gasp "Huh? Leviathan, we're...?"
Same time, the Time Out Box


"Indeed, Squigly, we're alive again. A new Skullgirl must be at large, but there aren't any other minions around. Why have we been summoned?"

"I... she's going to Medici Tower. Or she already is there? I can't tell, it sort of feels like... both?"

"Could she be calling for an army to meet her there and then start killing?"

"Maybe? But that doesn't seem quite right. Her control feels weak, barely there at all. I... I think we might have been all she could summon."

"Whatever the reason we're up and about, we won't be able to stop the Skullgirl's plan if we stay here. Let's see what she's up to."

So Squigly as just joined the party! Wonderful!
Honestly, I'm surprisingly okey with this, While she most liekly will stand in our way, I'm glad to see her around. So, well done skullheart...its weird saying that.

...There's probabyl a small chance we can convince her to help against Lorenzo and Black Dahlia...they were the ones who killed her and ser her mouth shut forever...

Also Man, meeting with the Nurses when okey-ish, that it went this "clean" makes me wary...not much to do now thought.

Okey so first, calm Marie a bit, then come up with a plan to infiktrate the tower.

We need to know Lorenzo Location first, its most likely he is in his office or in his personal room, but no guarantees he even. is in the tower at the moment...We could suggest her to enter from outside. climbing or flying the tower once Valentine finds where he is exactly.

Also, uh, the skullheart seems to be really low on power...that's good, but i guess the next few updates its gonna grow a bit on power.
 
…Thiniing about It, if Valentine is really good at sneaking and if able to find where Lorenzo is… how viable would it be if we just had Marie become something really small, and have Valentine sneak her directly towards Lorenzo, heck she just needs to throw her towards him as she returns to her normal shape, ready to brawl!

How does this sound?
 
First we need to calm Marie down, than we make a plan. Maybe some music can help calm her nerves as well.
I mean…true, thought we kind of need to have Marie move soon.
Squigly and Leviathan are in the way and as the invisible text shows, they can totally sense the Skullheart…we don't want them to ambush Marie as she is calming and getting ready to invade the tower.

We need to have her relax and keep a clear mind on this true, but wasting too much time will backfire…

Man our timer keeps going down FAST!

Maybe we could convince Squigly of helping Marie with the Medicis…
 
I mean…true, thought we kind of need to have Marie move soon.
Maybe do some quick breathing and short sentences instead of the usual long ones.

Man our timer keeps going down FAST!
How long until the Princess and the Black Egrets come to the Medici's tower as well..
Maybe we could convince Squigly of helping Marie with the Medicis…
We can only hope, also Valentine will definitely be sending a quick report to Lab 0 and Brain Drain on Marie's new powers, abilities, skills, and perhaps weapons once she sees Marie in action.

-[X] (Voice 2) "Madam, please, we ask of you, please take a deep breath. Taking such an endeavor in this state will not let you do your best. Breath in and breath out.
-[X] (Voice 1) "Marie, we need you to listen to us. Patricia still cares deeply about you and she won't let you her friends of her lab to hurt you. We won't let them kill you."
-[X] (Voice 4) "We think you should turn into a small bird to scout for a ventilation system, then once the nurse comes back with Lorenzo's location, you turn into a snake or a mouse and slip into his location for a quick kill! And remember to grab the Gem for yourself!"

How does this look? Music is good?

But I will say that you probably won't get it to happen unless you deliberately try for it.
Okay at least that's one less character coming for us
Are you trying to unlock a persona for Marie?
-[X] (Voice 2) "Madam, please, we ask of you, please take a deep breath. Taking such an endeavor in this state will not let you do your best. Breath in and breath out.
Should we teach her a chant to help calm herself as well?
Hmm, any other stuff we need to tell her?
 
I like persona music more, im more familair with P5 soundtrack.
Fair enough, but if we ever get into a fight I'm definitely down with playing guilty gear music.

Would rather avoid making it more longer. Maybe edit some of thre sutff that has been posted but lets try to avoid adding more lines perhaps?
Guess I'll save the ninja meditation/hand signs/chants after Lorenzo and who knows how many fights Marie will get into.

And it's mostly cause of these kinda help calm me down.
 
Hmm, any other stuff we need to tell her?
Hmmm, I wonder, what if we tell her to Shapeshift into Ed now? That way any surviving Medici will think the Skullgirl is someone completely different! And people will be on the lookout for someone who doesn't even exist in this world!

Sure Valentine will probably blab to her boss about our real looks, but that will just add to the confusion when people heard two different descriptions of the Skullgirl

I like those, but I agree, I don't think Marie has the time to do those, maybe afterwards, when we find a good hiding spot, they would help her lower the adrenaline.

Alright, just please make sure to remind me, cause I can be forgetful.

maybe afterwards, when we find a good hiding spot, they would help her lower the adrenaline.
That is if we can find one, cause we have the sensors and who knows how Double or Squigly can sense the Skullheart.

And people will be on the lookout for someone who doesn't even exist in this world!
We best tell her after Valentine comes with the needed information, cause the last thing we need is for Valentine to try and run.

Another time limit huh, hopefully the doctors and others will have trouble finding out the truth.

-[X] (Voice 1) "Also...you should keep your eyes peeled, if you see girl with her mouth stitched together and a parasyte coming from her head...She is coming to stop the Skullgirl. BUT! She has also been wronged by the Medici, there is a chance you could convince her to assist you with this if you promise to not hurt innocent people? Thought its likely she may say no, its worth an attempt."


How does this look? Givin a warning about Squigly. And maybe a suggestion that maybe she could recruti her for this?

It's looking good so far! What's your opinion on the whole Shapeshift into Ed now to spread confusion in the future? Seems feasible or should we save it for later?

I think you can say Parasite to be less confusing.

But everything else looks good, hopefully we can find time for Marie to calm down, cause no kid definitely deserves this much stress.

Also if anyone has any different chant/mantra in mind for Marie as she does some hand techniques, feel free to share.
 
That is if we can find one, cause we have the sensors and who knows how Double or Squigly can sense the Skullheart.

Double can sense the skullheart cause she is linked to the trinity who created it. She was created with the mission of choosing skullgirls and "advising" them, would be a bad helper if she couldn't find the skullgirl whereever she was.

For Squigly, remmebr that she is alive now thanks to the Skullheart reanimating the dead, she is alive cause of them bascially, that type fo connection thanks to Leviathan can be sensed/tracked.

Who was Ed again? I'm coming in blank with the name. Thought might be a good idea to keep Marie's identity hidden, I'm also worried that revealing about that to more people could make the trick less effective... People would be more cautious if they know the skullgirl could shift into anyone...

It is a useful trick to employ now I believe, just maybe Im a bit wary myself of having Marie reveal some of the cards she currently has.

Honestly, from the abiltiies we have givne so far, its either the shapeshifter or Bakuen's ablity that are the most useful for her.

Understood, will edit it.

EDIT: clicked post by accident before it was ready

Cowboy bebop.

Especially with a ninja nurse who can send it back to lab 0.

Any other abilities that are useful?
 
Edward from Cowboy Bebop, I posted her image in a previous post regarding a possible disguise, since her looks are completely different from Marie's, I figured it would seriously confuse people if we did it now, even if Valentine blabs about Marie's true appearance, the Medici are more likely to spread word of Ed's looks to the rest of the criminal underworld, so they'll be looking for a red herring.

Plus we could always choose another disguise later!

But yeah, probably better to save it for later.

Real Talk, I never watched that, still a bit wary fo revealing such an useful ability, but I suppose it's fine? If you guys want it I can add a small blurb to the vote? Last Hope already suspects she can shapeshift, so guess it wouldn't hurt to use that to hide her identity? Up to you guys.

I mean, all the abilities we have given her ARE useful, I meant more for a fight/the raid to the Medici Tower, Bakuen skill is an useful counter for those hits Marie might not avoid, letting payback with the same coin, and the shapeshifter is just so versatile its amazing.

Scorpio's Kunai and chain is an effecitve and tricky weapon, and Chrono's surfing move opens a few interesting options. Chun li investigation skills and Johnny Cage acting skills would make Marie more ffective at looking up stuff and at Infiltrating places, but taking the slow route here might not a good idea.

Nah it's fine, better keep it as a hidden trump card in case Marie needs to disappear.

Also watch Cowboy Bebop, it's peak awesomeness! Edward is best girl! Like a cat out of control!

So either during the attack or after it, maybe ask if she wants to disguise herself or if she doesn't mind showing her true self.

Would make the escape interesting for her and us, although I'm sure Peacock will definitely be questioning on where Marie learned that.

Unfortunately it looks like the universe doesn't want us to go slow.
