I love how long it's taking for someone to write a first Episode... nobody wants to be a member of the light brigade, I guess.

Exactly what do we need to write? and once we have are we supposed to post it here or pm it to one of the QMs?

I've got the backstory up on my sheet on page 2, and working diligently on my first post.

I recommend following in the example of whoever posts first.
A dangerous precedent to set, I'm sure, but I'm willing to trust in @ApocalypticFish. Aren't you?

Okay, so for my backstory, I was thinking...
The government has been rounding up Magical Girls, because what right-thinking governmental bureaucrat would let anyone have power they couldn't control?
So, as this has been happening, my character becomes a Magical Girl. She doesn't consider herself a hero(for reasons) but is helping people however she can.
Then, one day, she's making her rounds when a bunch of governmental Black Suits show up and attempt to grab her. Panicking, she fights back, killing most of them. Horrified at what she's done, she runs home and tells her parents, who already know that she's a MG and are surprisingly chill about this. They pack up and move to Tenkawa City, and she's enrolled at school right as the plot begins.
This good?

Been reflecting lately.
...And now I'm wondering how I became the one pushing this RP along.
Is it because I read the rulebook? Is it because @The Out Of World still hasn't updated the Rebirth of the Carnival?
...Whatever the case, I'll give it my best shot.

Hmm. My brain's actually making actual progress on vauge possible backstory expansion for Tsukasa. Currently thinking she woke up as an amnesiac in Tenkawa, and promptly managed to run headfirst into truancy officers. Has a place, no idea why she has a place, possibly related to Shady Organisations.
Bullying is the stock explanation for 'tired of playing victim', and I can't currently think of an alternative.
...This is probably shit.

...You introduce your character, and maybe some of that character's friends.
This is the first impression everyone will have of the kind of character you're playing. That's Episode One, specifically each part of episode one -- one for each player character.

Sasami should have her's done before I have to leave for my second class around 5:50ish.
Also, I went with the Dead Parents route. Gives me a good excuse to have the 'helper' take a larger role and excuse the fact I that I failed to roll any parents at all.

Pretty much finished with the rough draft, just a bit more and some minor adjusting to do tonight.
Should be ready by eleven EST at the latest, five something at the earliest.

Been reflecting lately.
Episode 1
Hozumi Hotaru brushed her teeth absentmindedly.
To an outsider looking in, it might have appeared to be an average morning; but the truth was, despite the sleepy look on her face, she was rather on edge.
It had only been a week ago that her friend, Hino Sasami, had been framed for a crime that she knew that she didn't commit. She already knew what she was going to do about that, but the question was how...
Suddenly, she felt a buzzing in her pocket. The toothbrush fell out of her hand as she gave a slight jolt of surprise.
One of her hands fumbled around in her pocket for her phone, while the other tried to grab the airborne toothbrush.
After a few moments of this, she successfully managed to get a handle on the tooth brush, and get the phone out of her pocket. She flipped it open, and looked at the screen.
1 TEXT RECEIVED
She pressed the 'view' button, and read the text that appeared on the screen.
She smiled, and closed it again, putting it back in her pocket. She would send her back a text when she had an idea of what to say.
But until then...
Maybe she would use her ability? She didn't have much experience with it, but she did know how it could be useful...
"Hotaru! Time for breakfast!"
She washed the toothbrush in the sink, before putting it back where it was earlier this morning, and going down to breakfast.
It was a rather quiet affair, with little to no sound. This wasn't a particularly unusual occurrence these days, but it did make her wonder why they didn't talk as much as they used to...maybe it was because she wasn't a kid anymore? That would explain it. Being quiet when around that age wasn't exactly...
She internally shook herself. She couldn't think about such inane things at this time. She had a friend to help out.
She reached over for another pancake, and bumped into her mother's arm. "Ah, sorry."
She continued to think about how to help her friend, until she had finished.
With a pancake hanging out of her mouth, she sent a text message back to Sasami.
She closed it back up, and started heading down a road. It would only take her a few minutes to get to the high school, but she wasn't going to the high school right now.
A memory of a television report flew through her head; the location of one of the acts of arson, about fifteen minutes from where she was. Her memory might be a bit spotty at times, but she would not let her friend down.
She headed down the path, with an unusually focused look in her eyes. She would not let her friend go to jail because of this.
She would not.
Complete! For real this time!

Hey Hotaru, just wanted to check in. Probably heard about those fires by now, and that they're blaming it on me But I know that you know I'd never do anything like that! I mean jeez! Just because I like campfires...anyway, just wanted to let you know I'm all right. Can't tell you where I'm hiding though, it's a secret! Hope to see yah soon!

Okay, I'll just finish it now.
Hino Sasami was...actually having a rather good day so far. Perhaps it was a bit too early to really say, but she had a pretty good feeling about it all.
She'd woken up early, acquired a 'good' breakfast, for someone on the run, in a perfectly legal manner, and now she's back at her little haunt. Sitting high up on one of many metal beams criss-crossing the frame of an unfinished building which conveniently sat on the edge of the abandoned southern portion of the city. Sasami absently kicked her feet through the air, whistling a little tune as she looked out at the city's morning skyline.
Sasami had always enjoyed the sight of her home city from above. When she was younger, her mother would always bring her up to the top of the office building she worked, just letting her look up into the great blue sky and the city below. In a way, being up here let her have just a bit of those old feelings, and if she tried just hard enough, then just for a moment she could forget...
A frown finds its way onto the girl's expression, her mood soured as she let out a sigh.
"Thinking about them won't help..." She mumbles, absently pulling out her phone, flipping it open and starts typing.
@ApocalypticFish
Clicking the send button with a fond smile, the girl closed her phone and slid it back into it's pocket.
Sasami rose to her feet and began making her way back to ground level.
Today would be a busy day, best to get to it.
