The sky above you is most of the way covered by the black clouds above you. Rain pours down into the forested area around you, drowning your armor and robe at the torrential downpour. There is not a single other creature here, save for yourself, and how could there be? The thunderous charges strike the ground, their charge on impacting the ground causing a near deafening sound."YOU COME TO MY REALM, MORTAL?" The sound of a deep, booming voice echoes around you, despite the never ending thunder strikes reverberating through the landscape. You cover your ears, the stimulation overload and sound deafening quakes causing the beginning of your ears to bleed. Clenching your head in pain, your shoulder length, black hair blasts back from all the wind. You summon as much willpower as you can to power through the overwhelming sensations. This has been a long time coming, you've earned the right to be here. For just a moment, time slows down. A wave of thunder crashing right in front of you, the force of this one causes what could simply be put as a wall of air knocks you away and causes you to collide with a tree. The force of being pushed into such an object only causes you to wince, your near perfected form is durable.HOW DID YOU GET THROUGH TO HERE? STATE YOUR BUSINESS TO ME! The authority of this command nearly causes your spine to clench. Where the thunder once struck in front of you now stands a massive, redheaded man. His muscular stature is apparent, even through his armor you can tell he truly has a gods physique. His eyes that crackle, hiding the color of their eyes stare forth at you. >Thor, I've come to make a bargain.>Command to him that you're here for his power and that hammer. You challenge him to a fight. >He fell for it, capture him with the seals you've placed around the area.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>He fell for it>Seal ReleaseYou say nothing to the imposing Thor. You're just staring at his booming stature, Thor may come off as a brute, and if you really piss him off he can be.

"By Ysm-" the God roughly coughs out. The surprise paid off, you smile at this pathetic.. thing.The perfect concoction, for you, it was easy to come up with. Learning the general lore of this realm gave you more than enough to predict what alchemical concoctions to come with you. With a little bit of nature from this realm, and some of your own realms magic, you were able to craft a gas sealer.

You wake up. You blink your eyes, looking around your darkened room. You were dreaming of that girl you liked, the one with red hair and blue eyes. Why’d you have to get woken up from that dream?You’re about to go back to sleep when there’s a loud crash from downstairs.Shit. Are you being robbed?There’s another crash, and you hear the sound of your beer cans rolling on the floor. You frown. Something’s in your kitchen. Did you leave the backdoor open? You get out of bed and put on a dressing gown and some slippers. If there’s an animal downstairs you just hope it’s a rat or something small, you don’t want to pay the fee for an animal handler at, 3 O’clock in the morning. You go down the stairs and hear the distinctive crunch of potato chips. This thing is in your cupboard too? You brace yourself as you open the door to the kitchen, expecting to get jumped by some wild animal, only to get a beer can thrown at your face.“Thine drink is pigs piss!”You open your eyes. There’s a man there, an old bearded man sitting in your kitchen, dressed in a robe not dissimilar to yours, a can of beer in one hand and a thick stick as tall as you in the other. He has some sword strapped to his waist, and all kinds of leathery pouches. The fridge door is open, and you can see that he’s pulled out almost everything you have in there, not that there was much to begin with. Did some fucking hobo break into your house?You take a step towards him, intending to throw him out, but he puts up a hand and for some reason you feel compelled to stop. Comment too long.

You look at the man lying before you. He doesn’t look too good, but you feel you need to at least try and save whoever he was talking about. You turn to Gene.>Okay. I’m going to go into the mirror, and I need you to stay here and try and find any medical supplies you can for this guy. I know it’ll be difficult, especially without your glasses, but you just need to try.Gene hesitates a moment, before a determined look settles on his face, and he nods at you. You pat him on the shoulder and turn to the mirror that doesn’t reflect properly. It seems to not reflect the proper colour of everything either, like there’s some sort of grey haze obscuring the image. You’re not really sure how this is going to work, but as you place your hand against it, you feel the surface give way like some sort of thick liquid. Your hand pokes through a moment, and it feels cold, but not freezing, before you abruptly withdraw it. Guess you can walk straight through. You take a breath, and grip the sides of the mirror, before climbing in. Inside is much the same as you saw from the outside. Everything is grey, and the shadows are a little darker than they should be, the light a little weaker. You turn around and see Gene waving at you by the side of the injured man. You wave back and step down the corridor, noticing for the first time small balls of light floating in the air. You realise that they correspond to the small hints of magic you were following before. Do things here affect things in the real world and vice versa?You feel a tugging at the back of your mind, and you realise that your Mirror, the one the Wizard granted to you, is acting up. You summon it into existence, and it seems to rotate in space, and looking in it you see a reflection, not of you in this place, but the real world, with colour and light. Is this another of its powers?
>>6431168The Mirror Dimension unlocked!You can now travel instantaneously to the Mirror Dimension. It might be an easy way to get out of trouble, or it may land you in even greater danger than before…It’ll be a useful way to get out of here. You de-summon the Mirror and continue looking. You follow the trail of lights all the way back to the optometrist. Inside is a mess. The entire store looks like a bomb went off, shelves overturned, glass shattered and melted, and scorch marks everywhere. Even a few bullet holes. Guess this is the source of the magic signs you saw earlier. And then there’s the other two trails, the more noticeable ones. You can actually see what they are now, instead of vague glowing lights. The stronger one is a trail of blood, a lot of blood, while the weaker one is small piles of salt. The salt trail is probably who you’re looking for.You follow the salt until it leads you to an open area of the mall, where it abruptly ends. Damn. You look around for any other signs but don’t see any. Hell. How are you going to find this woman now?There’s only three stores here, and you guess that she must be in one of them, but which one you don’t know. You look at the signs and frown. You weren’t paying much attention to the shops when you were wandering around earlier, but you’re pretty sure these aren’t the names they have in the real world. One of them definitely looks like a bank, and the other two don’t have names you’d see in a normal store either. Which one should you investigate?>THE HEART OF DARKNESS (You’re pretty sure this is a bank)Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

You are Senjou Azami, age 18. Presently, a resident at Takamichi Group Home and attending therapy with eight other girls. Those girls are rather unique and special. They are former victims of the Arkadian Kingdom, their Heart Crystal corrupted for nefarious reasons. Each had done terrible things under the influence of corruption, and then became purified and freed by the Pretty Star Warriors. Each of them has their own unique magical powers, just like you.'Police Girl' Shinoda Takeo'Queen Bee' Morita Aoi'Mommy Issues' Shinohara Ren'Normie Teen' Nagato Mari'Romance Nerd' Shibusawa Yuki'Street Kid' Takeoka Rui'Fantasy Lover' Ito Akira'Sport Jock' Ichijou SayakaNow, you're working with them because a simple mission from the godmother has turned into something very complicated. The original mission was moving Kiyotaka Chie and her son Asato away from her abusive husband, Kiyotaka Hisato. It has morphed into something supernatural.The three former yakuza members of the Sumi gang; Kiyotaka Hisato, Maeda Sekine and Kimura Toshimichi, had gone into business selling drugs.

Rolled 1 (1d2)We are tied with workshop and arsenal.rolling
>>6430735With a yakuza "workshop" as a potential inheritance, it gave me a sudden flash of Azami as a Bloodborne-esque horror hunter but in modern-day suits and grit. Imagine her making hunting and killing fucked up fairy abominations possibly worse than Arkadian Kingdom as her future career. It might beat being a leader/manager of her own yakuza gang like the godmother had to be.But as a wise guy once said: the future is better thought of later.
>>6430580>needs a ruler boy for a love interest?Maybe the Arkadian Queen has a son. That or running into a japanese prince.
>>6430799There is no way Azami can recreate the Sumi gang or make a similar gang. Not with the incredibly harsh anti-yakuza gang laws in place in Japan.To give an example how harsh and effective the laws have been in Japan, they just recently disbanded their Organized Crime Control Department which specialized in combating Yakuza.Like the Arkadian Kingdom, Sumi gang was living on borrowed time and would have disbanded eventually. The frantic work to shift towards more legal business by the Sumi godfather and godmother was simply not enough. Too many dependents, too many enemies, too many old members dropping out. too little money, too few new blood, etc.The last hurrah is because they had supernatural help and that put a bigger target on them.
>>6431407Guess all she can do is inherit what little remains from the godmother and live her life somehow
With the Tournament of Power brought to a close, the Seventh Universe has emerged triumphant once more. Led by the Saiyan warriors, the Seventh's victory was secured. And with the wish on the Super Dragon Balls used to restore the other universes that were eliminated and erased, the final hidden trial was passed, and all eight of the universes up for elimination were allowed to remain. Yet, even with this victory, peace doesn't last in the Seventh Universe for long. As old hatreds rise and long-buried grudges resurface, will you have what it takes to keep everything you've worked the last 28 years of your life to build? Or will those who seek your end ultimately triumph? That all depends on you, and your choices.You the players will (most often) control Karn. A Saiyan man who has grown from his lowly beginnings as a mid-tier Saiyan Brawler with a sub-3000 powerlevel in Age 733 to become not only the strongest Saiyan of his time at AGE 759, but also personal friend to the former emperor Lord Freeza, father to over a dozen powerful and unique children, a mentor and teacher to his fellow Saiyans, and the indisputable winner of the Tournament of Power.

>>6413342I see, Karn will only accept non-innate power ups if he HAS to. So, the Time Stop Immunity, the Saiyan God Ritual, and wishing for LER's Fate Manipulation were exceptions.And seeing as you didn't share any potential family wishes, I would like to make a suggestion if you don't mind: let's wish for enhanced learning for the whole family, not actively granting it to every new family member addition though, I feel like the wish would fail if we asked for it to extend to our whole bloodline.That way, family members like Chilli and Broly can more easily progress in their efforts for mastery, and those like Meloka Wolbach will have an easier time learning stupid advanced subjects. What do you think?
“We leave.” You said, the words a terrible weight placed syllable by syllable on your soul, made all the worse as your uncle’s betrayed gaze fell on you “We are not equipped to handle these lands, I doubt any one would be equipped to handle it. We have only faced a small portion of the danger this land offers, yet we’re already lost 4 people, with two wounded and we have been here less than half that many days. This land is cursed, this land is not meant for the living, and…I whatever god remains to rule these lands wishes death to be all there is.”“But Jason, we can’t miss this chance! W-”“We need to live, Uncle! We need to go home, return to our lives, so we may live them, so I may have children who will one day replace me, so I may improve the lives of those who follow me, and so you may be a father to your daughter. You wish to see her rise to our name, and be married properly, well I swear to you now: I will have this done. She will be made a lannister, and I will ensure she is married not only well, but also to a good man. Will it happen immediately? Perhaps not, but I shall rule the rock, and when I do, I shall use all the power our family has to do this. But we must all live for it, and that means we leave now.” You held your uncle’s gaze, and there was a battle of wills you had never expected to have with Uncle Gerion. He was the man who was quick to laugh, a joke made easily in the face of the noble posturing and maneuvers, a man who cared nothing for the trappings of house Lannister and the shadow left by your father. All that was gone now, and you saw him for what he was, another younger brother who had never been able to rise to the occasion, and who now had more than himself to worry about. “I promise you Uncle, Joy will be given everything a lady of our house deserves, even if her name is hill. She is my cousin, and I shall see her treated as such.” You said, placing a hand on his shoulder and offering him a steadying smile. He met your gaze, and you saw him turning over what you said in his mind, and the fear of simply accepting it and giving up on Brightroar, of his chance to claim history and stand tall as possible over your father. He then bowed his head and nodded, no words but surrender all the same.And So it was, Sarella and Asha set to work coordinating the ships and their crews for the exodus from the Doom, Asha giving your hand a squeeze in thanks and Sarella placing a kiss on Humfrey’s forehead in relief. Humfrey and Dara seemed like they had wished to brave the doom, but both were men well aware of their limitations, of which they were close to with their wounds.(Cont)

Now it seems that you’ll be able to put those things on display during a multinational promotion exam held by Konohagakure. While promotion to chūnin would be nice, your official objective here is to make it to the public final round of the exams so potential clients will see that your adoptive village, Yugakure, has not grown so weak and ineffectual as rumors would lead them to believe. Even more importantly, it’s an opportunity to finally begin to validate Tsunade-sensei’s decision years ago to become your mentor.One shinobi from Konohagakure has just opted not to continue to the final stage of the exams. After all his talk and his apparent efforts, you still can’t say that you quite have a sense for what Kabuto-san is actually trying to achieve. Since you’re no doubt missing some key aspect of the context, his choices have felt inconsistent to you.“Excuse me, Lord Hokage,” you hear Hiroshi-kun’s voice behind you. “I’ve given it some thought… and if withdrawing is possible, I believe I should as well.”“What the hell, Hiroshi!?” Akiji-kun demands. “You’re just gonna duck out like this when we’re right there?”“It might’ve been under unusual circumstances,” Hiroshi-kun explains, “but fact is I had to accept outside help to keep Ryōko-kun from spending her chakra on me instead of resting and taking advantage of us finishing early. It wouldn’t be fair to stay in when other candidates didn’t get that opportunity.”Ah. So that’s what it was.“You made that decision on your own?” Akiji-kun demands, unconvinced.“He did it because he knew I might disagree,” you observe. “But why only mention it now?”Comment too long.

Two thousand years ago, a prince of the Old World called Sversk the Conqueror set sail with an army of his loyal followers into what any would still consider today to be certain death. Yet, where all others in history near and far perished, Sversk’s band triumphed over the implacable Maelstrom, and settled in the New World, forming a new society apart from the old, founding an empire that would last over one thousand years, which only drew its last breath when Sversk’s tale, the story of the ancestors of the Nauk, faded from living memory, to history, to legend. Now, a new army of ambition, also seeking a new future, returns across the same sea to whence their ancestors came, be they Nauk, Vitelian, Sosalian, or even of a race born solely of the New World. The Aurora Legion, as it is called, do not seek new lands, but to gather money, men, materiel, to gain strength without peer so that they can gain victory for their ultimate cause: to topple the Old Order that controls their world, and free its people that they may bring forth the Future that is Utopia. They are not yet more than five thousand, yet they were once not even one hundred six years past, and though many have been wounded or perished, their sacrifice will not be in vain. Each step taken is one towards the final battle, one that many of them may not see the result of, but they fight nevertheless. Most hope to see that battle. Many see service with the Legion as an honor and a privilege above any other cause that may be fought for as warriors. Some simply have no other place to go.The conflict they venture to now is a war of a greater power against a smaller, the continental Caelussian Federation against the much smaller but still defiant Kingdom of Petrekora. Some might assume a tale of aiding the underdog- but Petrekora is reactionary, and the Federation far more akin to a state of the future than one run by a king with aristocracy. What is more, the Federation is paying handsomely, and in these times where expansion is limited by lack of coin, the Aurora Legion will not pass up any chance to feast upon silver, for the sake of readying for the Dawn of the New Era… -----
>>6432041>actionSuporting fire on any attack done by Rousseau. Dice will follow.>Movement>free actionDo supply runs from the southeastern outskirt and then move back to supply units such as Rosseau and Weisskopf.>>6432018I apologise. I would want to use laptop but my ip is sadlt blocked on there. Otherwise I would draw lines on a map. I will also attempt to communicate more clearly. Weekendshifts man. They also got me.
>>6432051>>6432056... Oh. I, uh, I should have pressed 'update' before I committed, I see.You know, a flare would be nice. I don't think I entirely know what I'm doing.
>>6432059>Do units engaged in melee still exert ZoC? Relevant as to the Marines engaged by Fabiani.That's a good question. Normally I'd have concluded that two attacks as normal would be needed to shut off zone of control, but considering that melee's conceit is that you're shoved all the way in there and mingling about to the degree that shooting into the mass risks friendly fire, I'd say that it'd be near impossible to still maintain a secure perimeter.>>6432061>Do the vessels need to be looted with an action to count as claimed for battlefield looting purposes, or is clearing them enough?Clearing them is enough. Looting is for extra stuff, potentially.
It seems to me I have mostly three actions I could take from here:1a: Support Schwarz's boarding action (would prefer supporting a CQC attack so I can make use of the +3 support modifier from my weapons)1b: Storm the stern of the Kyklos while Schwarz attacks the bow2: Attack the somehow still standing AA position, or support someone infilitrating or attacking it3: Loot the KatasI'll hold my action for now to see just what those in my vicinity are planning to do and how it turns out, but I'll probably end up supporting whatever goes on here. I'm not really in a position to get across the map in time to help with the objectives but I could reach the Supply Yard this turn if it's needed, possibly even the fort with some lucky infiltration rolls should it be neccessary (if Pezzi's roll to destroy the fort is declared null and void.), though I won't be able to attack this turn.So I hope the ones not engaged in the quagmire in port (Holzmann/Luce/Serrata/Fogl/Weißkopf basically) consider resupplying in the south and use a double move to get as far north and east as possible to help secure those objectives.
>>6432065It's probably not going to be happening this turn so in the meantime you can help seize the Kyklos instead?
The year is 5 AB (After Bloom), and you live in what is now called Biltmore City, a community of survivors settled in the ruins of the historic Biltmore Estate in Western North Carolina.The year was 2009, and the time was 3:31:54 AM EST on Friday, April 10th when The Bloom occurred. In the span of 12 minutes and 49 seconds, the entire Earth experienced a super-rapid forestation of all terrestrial surfaces.Trees erupted from the ground and into full maturity, regardless of any manmade materials present - asphalt roads were obliterated, buildings were toppled, and underground structures were perforated with roots. All human infrastructure was rendered essentially inoperable and unsalvageable due to the density and ubiquity of the trees. Some areas burst instead into fields of exotic flowers, and buildings or vehicles therein were merely engulfed by vines, instead. In many other places freshwater springs surfaced inexplicably, generating ponds, creeks, or even rivers.The biodiversity of this perpetual forest defies common logic. Banyans, alders, acacias, eucalyptus, olives, and towering sequoias can all be found inside of the same ten acres, regardless of geographic location, sometimes twice or three times their 'natural' size. Animal life appeared in much the same manner, out from behind trees or from warrens revealed by new roots, equally diverse and at home in all locales. Lions now prowl the slopes of what were the Rocky mountains and pythons hang from the branches of magnolia trees in the now forested Siberian steppe.The most devastating element of The Bloom, however, was what it did to the human population.>Cont'd
For curiosity's sake: does anyone in here (other than me) know what a Rainbow Gathering is?
>>6431376>Yeah, I've got a job, just add it to my tab.>>6431447some kinda pride month thing or
>>6431449>some kinda pride month thing orNope! It started in the 70's as a hippie thing, going out into national Forest to camp and create an 'intentional community's where there's no cops or money, some dudes set up a rudimentary water system and everyone just trades what they need and brings tons of food and stuff. It's changed a LOT over time. There's still the big national Gathering, and even an International one, as well as a bunch of regional ones which happen across the year, typically Summer (if I remember right, national is in July). A big portion of the regulars are nomads and also transient homeless people that drink and do drugs, the term for that demographic of Rainbow attendees is 'Dirty Kids'. Some of them are awesome, some of them are terrifying, same as anything else. I know about this stuff mainly from being friends with (some former some current) Dirty Kids, not old school hippies, but the stories are wild. People plan their pregnancies to have kids at Rainbow so they're born without documentation. Candy becomes money while there because actual food is all free, like water, there's a big Kitchen Camp where meals are served. There's a school bus where a significant portion of the U.S. LSD supply is manufactured this is called Chemical Camp and it's what Chem Camp is loosely based on. Rainbow Gatherers have infiltrated the National Park Service in large numbers to help facilitate these events. It's all really, really interesting, I think. You can find more online, I'm sure. Rainbow is definitely a partial inspiration for this game, because it reminds me that there were a lot of people that almost inadvertantly means tested what life might be like post-Bloom. A bunch of strangers and weirdos trying to cooperate in the woods.
>>6431376>I've had a long day, I need to lighten up, and I just wanna catch up with Stillwater when I do. (Lie)
>>6431376>Well, actually I guess I can just tell you instead of talking to her: I heard there was a half ounce of pure afghani heroin buried under the peach tree directly North of the Diana statue, but some security officers are getting ready to go dig it up. If you go right now you can score it before they do, but you'll have to run. (Lie)
Last time, after an enormous victory against organized crime, you had nothing else to do but to celebrate. The party is going great so far: you cooked people’s favorites, everyone played a long variety of games, and you had heart-to-hearts with your loved ones over the railing outside your apartment. The stars and this cool piece of steel will be the only witnesses to these heartfelt moments. You’re back in the apartment, your favorite pretend-to-be girlfriend asked you to join the karaoke. You want to sing, but it’s ill advised — you’re terrible at it. Nonetheless, this isn’t the only activity you can partake in. Matilda, Celia, and Aurora are cooking something for you. And there’s this elephant in the room you haven’t quite addressed yet. Someone who isn’t part of the team…Matilda, Celia, Aurora, Odetta, and Liu had their moment. Meaning you might want to spend time with Vera, Lydie, Crossbill, and Sasha (?) who are by the karaoke too. Well, Liu is there too, she’ll get an extra moment, she’s greedy like that.“My dear boyfriend! The love of my life! Join us! It’s time to sing…!” Lydie holds the microphone towards your direction. Sasha has her tambourine ready. Vera is trying to remember something important about letting you sing. And Crossbill is curious about your abilities. Oh, and Liu is there. You already said that, but it bears repeating. “Well, I…” You close the door right behind you. Good-bye scenic set piece. You did your job well.The microphone calls you… What do you do?>“Sure, just beware, I’m a bad singer.” Diplomatically take away the blame from yourself before you kill them all.Comment too long.

He asked you to return, but do you wanna go into that place again?

Your dreams are interrupted by a sharp alarm clock noise. Turning over, you start tapping your hands on the nightstand beside you. As the noise continues, the more you feel yourself waking up from your slumber. The more you feel yourself being taken away from the nice dream you were having. A cute girl was just about to confess her love to you. Finally, you feel it. "There it is..." A whisper escapes your lips as you finally feel your phone. Grabbing it, you press on the side button. Finally, the peace and quiet was back.You try your hardest to go back to your dream, but this time you get another alarm clock. "Sousuke!" Your mother's familiar voice substitutes the chime of your alarm. "Sousuke wake up!" Opening your eyes, you look towards your window to see it was still dark inside. "You're going to be late again if you don't wake up soon!"Taking a deep breath, you let out a sigh as you jump out of bed. As you get out of bed, you stretch and wipes your eyes. As you approach the bathroom to wash your face you start yawning. You wash your face the freshen up. You gargle a bit of water and after wards you do your usual routine of practicing your smile for a couple minutes in front of the mirror. Your dyed hair, your ear piercings, and look in your eyes that makes you look permanently angry. "Just like that..." Those were the things you were hoping to counteract by practicing the perfect friendly smile. Getting out of the bathroom, you go downstairs. "Good mornin' sunshine." Your mother greets you with a smile. You didn't really know how your mom could be so energetic so early in the morning. Looking over at the clock you see it read 5:00 AM. You still had a couple of hours before you had to leave for school. "So, how many are we doing today?" Rolling up your sleeve, you join your mom in the kitchen."The usual" She smiles at you as you stand in front of the kitchen counter. On one side of the kitchen counter was a bunch of chocolate pieces. On the other was a bunch of boxes. You start packing up the differently shaped chocolate into boxes. "Hey, what are you doing after school today?" Even as you look up to your mother, you don't lose a beat boxing up the chocolates. After all you've done this for years now. "Do you think you can help out with the shop later today?"[ ] Write-in
