It's the year 20XX. The discovery and creation of Minovsky Particles has allowed resulted the rapid advance of countless technologies the likes of which the world had never seen before. However, no field was more effected by the discovery than the field of "Mecha Model Building".Through introducing Minovsky Particles into already existing VR Boards, humans were able to finally make the dream of countless Mecha Otaku a reality: Bringing the models they build as a hobby to life...so they can brawl!Thanks to this, an entirely new hobby has emerged. One where people of all ages take their models into game stores, schools clubs, and even international tournaments across the world. Where they bring their models and battle against each other in high octane, emotionally charged battles, where the winner takes all! Their reasons for fighting are as wide as the ocean. But every single person, called Battlers, shares one thing: Their passion for the sport, the love for their hobby, and the drive to prove themselves the best of the best. And here, in this Quest, you will be one of them.>TL;DR: This is a Quest set in a world similar to the Gundam Build Fighters Universe. However, instead of it only being about Gundams and Mecha from Gundam Series, this is more akin to a Super Robot Wars Universe. Which means both Real and Super Robots from across time are part of this Setting and able to be used in battle. >Note: I am no way a Loremaster in regards to Mecha Anime/Manga/Whatever. I have seen quite a few Mecha Animes, read a few Mecha Manga, and played through at least two SRW games while reading Let’s Play of about 4. I know some things but I don’t know a lot. So, forgive me if I have to Wiki up certain bots that I may not know of.>This Setting is technically “Original” in that there isn’t really a version of it in any kind of Official Media. However, it’s still not and in Fanfic territory as the world is similar to the Gundam Build Fighters World. I.E. It’s basically Heaven for all the characters from various Real Robot and Super Robot Animes/Mangas/Whatever. So, don’t expect this Quest to get super-duper dark or anything like that. It’s gonna be Shonen Style from start to finish.>Basic Rules: We’re primarily going to be using 1d100, Bo3, with bonuses based on narrative circumstances. Higher = Better with DC usually being there but hidden; I’ll keep the votes open for about 20 or so minutes; Write ins are allowed, but might not always be used; No specific time when I'll run. I'll just do it when I feel like it.
>The first two votes will be to determine your character’s gender and age. Mainly to determine romance possibilities for the MC. While there won’t be anything NSFW, expect there to be plenty of fanservice as expected of an Anime. The most we’re gonna get is Ecchi, not full Hentai. Anyway, the votes. >Gender is first. Note: I primarily write Straight relationships, so the MC will be locked to Romances of the opposite Gender when it comes to options. >Male>Female
>>6419004>>Female
>>6419004Female
>>6419004Age 21
>>6419008This will be for later.
>>6419004>Female
>>6419004>MAN
Female it is. Give me a moment to get things ready for the next post.
>Next, Age. There are going to be three possible options. The only thing this choice will affect is how your character will be seen/treated in the narrative and how romances will be open/evolve as the story goes on. As a note on romances: Harems are possible, but will require work to keep up.>High Schooler (15 to 17); Your character is around 16 to 17. You’re still in high school and haven’t gotten your full freedom yet. While romances can get serious, they will kind of remain in the “High School Romance” phase. >College Student (18 to 22); Your character is around 18 to 22. You’re in college by this point, and have full freedom over how you live your life. This is the “default” level for romances. They can get serious and most will be out of the “High School Romance” phase. However, your pool of options will be limited by your College setting.>Adult (23+); Your character is a grown adult. You are completely out of school and out in the working world. Same as College, but you have a wider pool thanks to being in society.
>>6419016>>Adult (23+); Your character is a grown adult. You are completely out of school and out in the working world. Same as College, but you have a wider pool thanks to being in society.
>>6419016>ADULTfuck it we ball
Alright. Adult it is.
>Okay. Since female was chosen, the next question is going to be about your figure/body. Again, this is mainly going to be cosmetic and effect some narrative stuff. It will have very few mechanical effects. And, yes, Cup Size will be described because Anime.>Average: You have an average body. You're attractive, but not in a stand out sort of way. A to B Cup Breasts.> Petite: You're shorter and thinner than the average woman. You're only a few inches below the average woman, but it's still noticeable. You are Flat Chested.>Hourglass: You have a very "feminine" body. Anyone can look at you and tell you're a woman and a very attractive one at that. D to DD Cup breasts.>Shortstack: Rather than do something with your height, your "Growth Spurt" went completely into your chest and hips. Because of this, most people have a hard time telling your true age at a glance, until they see your..."features". DD to E Cup Breasts.
>>6419032>>Hourglass: You have a very "feminine" body. Anyone can look at you and tell you're a woman and a very attractive one at that. D to DD Cup breasts.
>>6419032>Hourglass: You have a very "feminine" body. Anyone can look at you and tell you're a woman and a very attractive one at that. D to DD Cup breasts.
>>6419032>Shortstack: Rather than do something with your height, your "Growth Spurt" went completely into your chest and hips. Because of this, most people have a hard time telling your true age at a glance, until they see your..."features". DD to E Cup Breasts.
Okay. Hourglass it is.
>Alright. This will be the last question in regards to your character's personality or body type. After this, we'll get into stuff about your connection to the Super Robot Battles and Mecha Modeling. Then we can start the Quest proper.>When it comes to your "Type" of character/personality, what are you? This will not force you into any specific roles/choices, but it will affect your personality and how your POV is written.>Tomboy: Either because of upbringing, or your own personality, you act way more "manly" than "girly". It's not that you're unaware of your femininity. It's kind of hard to forget that with how big your "curves" are. But you've just never "acted like a girl".>Gloomy: You're what some would call a "gloomy girl". It's not that you're necessarily gloomy or sad. It's just that...you're kind of introverted and keep to yourself. You wear dark clothes and generally have a vibe of "mysterious girl who will run if you try to talk to her" about you. Which...may or may not be true. It's never stopped you from reaching adulthood, but it's been...a trial.>Genki: You're an extremely extroverted, very energetic girl who can make friends with just about anybody. You have no issues talking to people who you've just met, and are always the one to drag your friends to get togethers. You're the life of the party and you know it.>Mature: You're a very "mature" person. You try to act with decorum, always try to keep a straight face, and essentially try to be the perfect example of a "functioning adult". Whether that's actually true is up to debate. But that's the vibe you try to go for when you meet with others.>Kuudere: You're not good at expressing yourself. It's not you don't have emotions. It's just that it's hard for you to show them. You tend to keep much of your feelings bottled up, so it's hard for people to really read you. Though, some people can see through that. If they know you well enough.
>>6419044>Gloomy: You're what some would call a "gloomy girl". It's not that you're necessarily gloomy or sad. It's just that...you're kind of introverted and keep to yourself. You wear dark clothes and generally have a vibe of "mysterious girl who will run if you try to talk to her" about you. Which...may or may not be true. It's never stopped you from reaching adulthood, but it's been...a trial.
I'll leave it open for at least ten more minutes. If we get no other votes, I'll go with Gloomy.
>>6419044>>Mature: You're a very "mature" person. You try to act with decorum, always try to keep a straight face, and essentially try to be the perfect example of a "functioning adult". Whether that's actually true is up to debate. But that's the vibe you try to go for when you meet with others.

Okay. Since we have three votes for three different options, I'll roll 1d3 and see what we get.1 = Gloomy2 = Mature3 = Genki
Rolled 2 (1d3)
>Mature it is. We'll use Pic Related as what the MC looks like for now. If anyone has a better/more fitting pic, feel free to post it and I'll see about changing.So, you are a Mature Adult Woman with an Hourglass figure and DD Cup Breasts. There are probably quite a few people who get surprised when you show up to fight in a Super Robot Wars Battle, or as they're colloquially called, Mecha Battles. Most probably wouldn't think you're a Battler at first glance.Which raises the question...why are you a Battler? There's gotta be some reason you go out and engage with this hobby at your age. What is it?>Passion: You have a burning passion for the hobby. It doesn't matter what age you are, what your gender is, or anything like that. As long as you've got the passion and love for the hobby, that's all that matters!>Money: Mecha Battles are big. People use them to solve their issues, play fun games, but most importantly: Do tournaments. Tournaments where cash prizes are offered. You'd be a fool to pass that up.>A Rival and a Promise: There's someone you made a promise to. Someone who you fought a long time ago. The two of you never settled who was the better Battler between the two of you. And, when you were forced to separate, you promised that you would meet again and fight each other one last time.>No Reason: You have no particular reason for being a Battler. You just think it's interesting. Maybe you'll find a reason later, but right now you're just kind of here.>Write In...
>>6419060>No Reason: You have no particular reason for being a Battler. You just think it's interesting. Maybe you'll find a reason later, but right now you're just kind of here.It's just kinda fun, man lmao why u so serious about it :)))

No Reason it is. Perhaps you'll gain one as you go, but right now you're just doing it cause it's interesting.
>>6419060
Now, we come to the primary question in regards to your status as a Battler: Your Model.In the world of Mecha Battles, the fact that anyone can use almost any Model for battle has naturally caused specific Categories of Mecha to be labeled and qualified. This is a combination of the natural inclination of people to want to label things, and because people started realizing that certain matchups were kind of unfair. The VR Boards used to fight these battles can be tweaked to allow all combatants to be on equal footing, but certain battles with certain Mechs were simply unfair to one side.Thus, three separate categories of Mecha Battles, Models, and Battlers have been created. Each one has their own strengths and weaknesses, but all are valid in Mecha Battling.Real Robots: The Real Robots are the Mechas built to be "realistic" and "grounded". They tend to come from series that have a greater focus on a "War is Hell" plot. This category includes most Gundam series.Strengths: A wide variety of Mecha that are extremely modular. It's really easy to customize them to your liking. Not to mention most are very fast. Usually way faster than Super Robots.Weakness: They're much more fragile than the average Super Robot. Their armor usually can't stand up to a strong enough hit. Not to mention most of their small arms fire can't pierce a Super Robot's hide.Super Robots: Mecha that are made to be larger than life. Called such because their powers are similar to Super Heroes, Super Robots are usually big, bulky, and have esoteric power sources. They tend to run the gamut in terms of series, but include things like Mazinger and Getter Robo.Strengths: Most Super Robots are very, very tough. Their armor can withstand most small arms fire, and even heavy arms will have trouble doing significant damage without a direct hit. Not to mention their esoteric power sources give them the edge when it comes to special powers/abilities.Weakness: They're usually really slow and very easy targets. While a Gundam may not be able to withstand a single blow from a Super Robot, the Super Robot will have trouble hitting them in the first place.Hybrids: Naturally, people wanted to find ways to fuse the sturdiness and esoteric powers of Super Robots, with the speed and modularity of Real Robots. Thus, you have the Hybrid Category. A Category for any Mecha that is a mixture of Super and Real Robot parts.Strengths: They can have all the strengths of both Super and Real Robots, along with entirely new powers never before seen.Weaknesses: They are DIFFICULT to build and maintain due to the fact that you have to get all the parts to fit and work together when they weren't originally meant to. And if you do it wrong, you can end up with all the Weaknesses of Super and Real Robots as well.
So, the question is...which one are you?>Real Robot Battler (Start with a Real Robot Model)>Super Robot Battler (Start with a Super Robot Model)>Hybrid (Start with a Hybrid Robot Model)
>>6419070>Real Robot Battler (Start with a Real Robot Model)
Alright. Starting with a Real Robot. Going to go ahead and leave for now. Will return in the morning after a nap. Thanks all those who were here.

>>6419086Not much to say. Looks pretty good. Thinks it's from Stellar Blade. Keeping it in the back pocket for now, but if people end up liking it more it'll take the MC Pic slot.
---Two Mecha class above the clouds of a big, blue marble of a planet. They zip across the starry sky, lasers and kinetic shells lighting up the darkness. There's sound despite them being in space, as the two machines dance in sync with each other.One is small, nimble, and fast. The green of its boosters is a constant as it never stays in one place.The other is large, gray, and bulky. It tanks the hits from its opponent with next to no issues. Not even a single scratch on its paint.The two continue their dance, lasers and more trying to land a hit on each other. Then, with one last burst of speed, they close on each other. The small one's laser blade collides with the supernatural metal of the large one's. Light explodes from the collision, coating the world in bright white light...---You open your eyes and see the...>Blue colored ceiling of your bedroom in your house.>Off white colored ceiling of your apartment

>>6419333>Actually, remember, this is Super Robot/Real Robot Heaven. The Economy is doing fine in this world.---You see the ceiling of your apartment building, sitting up with a yawn out of bed. You rub your eyes to get the sleep out of them, then slowly climb out of bed. Your bare feet flop onto the floor, your dark blue pajamas protecting you from the warm light of the sun.You look around to see your relatively neat room, a sense of ease coming over you. Sure, it's not the best place. And you do need to get an actual house eventually. But, hey, it's home for now. Stretching to get the kinks out, you decide that the first thing you're going to do is...>Get in the shower. Need that in the morning. (Hair and Eye Color Choice)>Get some coffee. You need energy.

The water will wake you up, and you'll be able to get your makeup and teeth brushing done before heading out.You quickly enter your bathroom, take your pajamas off, then step into the shower. The second the water hits your skin you let out a happy sigh. The warm liquid hitting your body feels like it's washing away all your worries.After a good soak, soap rubbing, and general cleaning you step out and begin drying yourself off.

You take a moment to adjust your hair until it's in the style you like. You brush it a few times to ensure your curls are all straightened and that there are no split ends. Your hair has always been long, reaching all the way to your shoulders, and you like it that way. Helps you keep up your image. You focus your green eyes on your chest for a moment. Using your arms, you hold your boobs up, testing their weight to see if anything had changed. When you were younger, you were the smallest in your class and you figured that's how it always would be. But then puberty hit you in high school and, next thing you knew, you had gone up three cup sizes within a few years. While it did make you feel smug at first, the fact that you had to keep finding new bras in your size certainly wasn't as nice. So, you've made it a habit to double check in case you need to get new bras made again.You sigh with relief upon seeing that it's not the case. Still a DD Cup. Good. You don't want to worry about buying new bras right now.
After finishing up, you put on a white casual dress with a long skirt. Then you make your way into the kitchen to see about breakfast. However, as you go into the living room, your eyes catch on a single stand sitting on one of your shelves.It's your Model.The one you use for Mecha Battles. It's...>The Original RX-78-2 Gundam>A Scopedog from Armored Trooper VOTOMS>A Huckebein, an OG Mech>Write in...(QM Reserves the right to Veto)

>>6419410>A Huckebein, an OG Mech
Rolled 2 (1d2)>>6419412>>6419414Okay. I'm gonna roll 1d2 to break this tie.
>>6419426Huckebein it is.
The Huckebein. Specifically the 008L version, which was the start of the line. Firmly in the "Real Robot" Category, it was created as an original Mecha in the SRW OG series, it has the Nickname "Vanishing Trooper" due to the history behind its creation. Unlike most Real Robots, it's powered by something rather crazy: A Black Hole Engine. Which allows it to use it's ultimate attack, the Black Hole Launcher. The sound of the weapon suggest that simply firing it will be enough to give you victory 100% of the time. But, in the world of Mecha Battles, Black Holes are not the end-all, be-all of battles.When it comes to armaments, it, of course, as the typical Vulcan Cannon in its head. But you have customized the rest of it's arsenal.Choose what weapons your Huckebein has. You can only have up to 3:>Micro Missiles>4-Tube Missile Launcher>Roche Saber>Plasma Sword>Magna Beam Rifle>Leap Slasher>Graviton LauncherAlso, choose one piece of Special Equipment to have equipped. You can only have one:>Afterimage: Create Afterimages to confuse enemies.>Anti-Beam Coating: Coating applied to outer armor that lessens damage from beam based attacks.>AB Field: Anti-Beam Field. More effective than the coat, but consumed more energy.
>>6419439>4-Tube Missile Launcher>Plasma Sword>Magna Beam Rifle>Afterimage: Create Afterimages to confuse enemies.
>>6419443+1
>>6419443>>6419448Okay. Going with this Loadout.
You went with a sensible and pragmatic loadout with your Model. a 4-Tube Missile Launcher for heavy ordinance, a Magna Beam Rifle for medium to long range engagements, and a Plasma Sword for when it was time for melee. And your Special Equipment was the Afterimage Generator. In case you needed to trick your enemy or misdirect them into thinking you're elsewhere.It, of course, also came with the Black Hole Launcher. That's a given. However, you could only use it once per battle, so you tried not to see it as part of your standard arsenal. Else you may be tempted to use it as soon as the battle started.Chuckling, you walk into the kitchen and get started on breakfast. As you're turning on the stove, you can't help but take a short trip down memory lane. Back to the day you first got the Huckebein. And when you were first introduced to the idea of Mecha Battles.>You had some extra money after your job was over one day. With little else to do, you went to a nearby Hobby Shop and bought a kit. The rest was history.>It was given to you as a going away gift from one of your coworkers when you left your last job. He had said he thought you would be interested and helped you build it.

Gift from a coworker. Alright.
You still remember the bright look in his eyes when you beat him in your first match. You still don't know if he went easy on you, but either way it's a happy memory. You hum while you eat your eggs and rice, your eyes continuing to go back to the Model. Under normal circumstances, you would've just left it there and gone about your day. But...something about today is different. You haven't been to a Mecha Battle in a while...and you don't have anything to do today. You're basically on paid vacation for now thanks to all your hard work at the office (specifically, they had to give you vacation or else). So...why not bring it out for a battle? For old times sake?Mind made up, you finish your breakfast then pull out your phone and look for a nearby spot that's doing Mecha Battles. After a short search, you decide to go for...>The nearby Hobby Shop: Gun-Battle. It'll have all sorts of people ready for a Mecha Battle.>The nearby College: Raijin University. There's gotta be a club that'll let you use their VR Board or something.>The nearby park. There's usually some kids playing Mecha Battles over there. Sometimes even adults.

>>6419478>>6419479>>6419481The University it is then.---Yeah, that sounds good. Colleges and Universities usually have quite a few clubs focused around Mecha Battles. There are even courses for it. And there should be enough new and old blood that you can find a good match without worrying about being matched with someone way out of your league. Mind made up, you decide to start getting ready to go. You first put your Huckebein up in a bag, while making sure to wrap it up so it won't get damaged on the way. Then you go check out your wardrobe to decide what you should wear. Hmm...>Just casual clothes. A simple shirt, with a long skirt like what you've got on. Nothing fancy and it shouldn't make you look too out of place.>A tanktop, a coat, and some sweat pants. You want to look as casual as possible for this. You're just another face in the crowd...though showing off your midriff will get some attention.>A T-Shirt and a normal skirt.

On the one hand, it's certainly a risqué outfit. One that you're certain will have eyes on...certain parts of you. But on the other hand, it'll make sure that people will pay attention to you. And the more people paying attention, the more people will want to battle you. So, it should be fine!---...You're not sure if this is really fine.Keeping your head held high and a smile on your face, you wave hello to all the young men and women walking along Raijin's Campus.

One that you can sense even as you walk through the entrance of the school.Though, you'll admit, the stares you're getting from the boys are...intense to say the least. Quite a few blush as you walk by, with some winking at you or blowing you kisses. You...>Keep your cool and move on. You've been in relationships before.

Smiling, you wink back at some of the guys, or blow them kisses back. Some of them blush even harder, clearly not expecting you to do that. Others smile wider before running off to their friends to brag. You can't help but giggle.You're not stranger to relationships. You've had plenty of boyfriends in the past, and have had gone all the way before. Though you still haven't found someone to settle down with. Not cause you're not looking for one. But...things just...happened.Any melancholy you may have felt from the thought of still being single is washed away when someone bumps into you. >Though you almost didn't notice them.

He's more than a head taller than you and his shoulders are really broad. He hides his muscles beneath a sweatshirt and pants, with sneakers covering his feet.

Not as in, uh," he stumbles over his words, looking away as his eyes try not to stare at your chest. You giggle and wave your hand, "I understand what you meant. I can assure you. There's no need to be so tense.""R-Right, sorry," he coughs, into his hand and straightens his stance, "So, what brings you here? Are you a new student?"You shake your head, "No, I'm just passing by. Specifically, I'm looking for a place to do some Mecha Battles. It's been a while since I've done one, and I figured this would be a good place to get back into the swing of things. Do you know if there's a club around I can go to?"Isa frowns, his expression darkening as he sighs, "I do but...it might not be a good idea to go there right now. Especially if you're new.""Hmm? What do you mean?""I mean this," he holds up his other hand and uncurls his fingers to show you what's inside.
He shows you a broken Gunpla Model, specifically a GM form the Original Gundam series. Though it's all beat and missing its arms and legs."Is...Is this your Model?" you ask, immediately wondering what happened.He nods in response, "There three separate clubs here in Raijin; Rai, Brando, and Hekate. They're supposed to be Rivals, with each one keeping the others in check. But, recently, Brando started to get really aggressive. Their members would go around challenging other clubs' members to Mecha Battles. Which was fine, but they would only ever do fights where the opponent's Models would sustain real damage. Doing that once or twice might be fine, but they did it so much that it actively harmed the other clubs."Rai and Hekate are still around, but they're being strongarmed out by Brando. Doesn't help that their leader has some kind of crazy Mech that no one's been able to beat before. It's kind of sucking the fun out of it all.">That's horrible! Why hasn't anyone told the staff about this?!>Sounds like those Brando members need a good lesson in manners. Can he take you to who did this to his GM?>Well, that's upsetting. But you'd still like a match with someone. Maybe someone not from Brando?>Write in...
>>6419591>>That's horrible! Why hasn't anyone told the staff about this?!
>>6419591>That's horrible! Why hasn't anyone told the staff about this?!>Sounds like those Brando members need a good lesson in manners. Can he take you to who did this to his GM?
>>6419594>>6419596Alright then. Gonna go for today. See you next time.
>>6419591>>6419596Support both options. Go that's horrible and then immediately beeline to beat up some punk kids
>>6419591>>6419596 +1
>>6419596>>6419728>>6419753>>6419594>>6419596Okay. Ask what about Staff then go beat up some assholes.
"That's horrible!" you say, taking his hand in yours while staring at his damaged Model. You may not be that interested in this Hobby, but even you know that smashing up someone's Model for no reason other than to hurt them is a dick move. You look up at Isa and ask, "Why hasn't anyone told the staff about this? Surely this isn't allowed?""It's a technicality," Isa says, gently pulling his hand away and shrugging, "Mecha Battles are allowed as long as both participants agree to it. They are allowed to set whatever rules they want, and the rules have to be abided by afterwards. The problem isn't that Brando's breaking the rules, it's that they're working within them in a way that makes things suck for everyone else. Them fighting people isn't the issue. It's the fact that they only ever fight to destroy or damage the opponent's Mechs. Most people aren't willing to go the staff about it, cause they don't know if they can really punish them. The leaders of the other Clubs are working to get a ban on too many battles like these, but by the damage is already being done."You frown, feeling a bit of righteous anger grow within you. Why are these guys taking this so seriously? It's just a game. They don't have to take it this far. In fact...you think they need a reality check.Smiling, you look up at Isa and say, "Hey, Isa? Think you could take them to who did this to your GM? I think he could use a good lesson in manners."Isa holds up both of his hands and shakes his head, "Woah, there, Ms. Robinson. As much as I appreciate the offer, I can't in good conscious let a newbie go into a Mecha Fight when she has little experience.">Pout and point out that you've got experience. Not a lot, but you know how to Battle.>Hmm, you think it's time you used your "weapons". Look cute and "unknowingly" show off some skin to get him to help you.>Shrug and tell him he's right...then go find the guy who did it without him noticing. >Write in...
>>6419801>>Pout and point out that you've got experience. Not a lot, but you know how to Battle.>>Hmm, you think it's time you used your "weapons". Look cute and "unknowingly" show off some skin to get him to help you.
>>6419804+1
>>6419801>Write in>Well then, it's good that you're here to help me get some more *experience *, isn't it.>And by experience...she obviously means to get him to take her around to interrogate other club members who'd already been beaten she can get some insider info about how these guys actually fight>Liberally apply her own special weapons as needed to get him and others to cave to her.If these guys are fighting dirty, then by golly so can me. Hopefully that will translated to boosted rolls during the fight.And yes I want as much wink wink nudge nudge on experience as possibly. Look up at him through her lashes. Maybe throw "intimate" and "hands on" in there
>>6419804Changing to this >>6419813
>>6419804>>6419810>>6419813Okay. I think I know how to do this.
"Well then," you put your hands on her hips and stand up straight, "it's a good thing you're here to help me get some more 'experience', isn't it?""Uh, hrmm," he clears his throat before saying, "I'm, uh, not sure what you mean.""I mean, taking me around to talk to the other club members who have already been beaten. If we can find out how they fight, we have a better chance at beating them," you say, while gently placing your hands together in front of you, "If they're gonna play dirty, then so are we...at least, as far as is sensible given this entire situation."Isa hums, the gears in his head turning. Then, after a few seconds, he finally sighs and says, "Well, it's clear you're not gonna let this go easy. So, sure. Maybe if you find out what you're up against, you'll let it go. Come on.">Roll 1d100+35. DC 55 Bo3.
Rolled 31 + 35 (1d100 + 35)>>6419821>you put your hands on her hips?
>>6419822Should be your. Sorry.
Rolled 64 + 35 (1d100 + 35)>>6419821Hoping this works, been too damn long since I played a quest which uses dice.
Rolled 43 + 35 (1d100 + 35)>>6419821
>>641982464 + 35 = 99. Success!
>>6419824>>6419826---Getting information wasn't easy. Not because Isa couldn't take you to people who could give you what you wanted, but because most of them didn't want to talk about it. Not out of fear or anything. More because they didn't like the idea of an "outsider" coming in and getting involved with their business. They weren't sure if they could trust you and it creating a difficult barrier to get through.So, you used the thing you've had for a while that help you "open barriers": Your body.It wasn't anything too egregious. You weren't about to do anything untowards with anyone over this. But you weren't afraid to "push" a little. Leaning close and batting your eyelashes here, grabbing a boy's arm and "accidentally" having him grope one of the girls, or sitting down on a boy's lap and leaning back into him. Granted, those tactics only worked on the boys, but that was really all you needed. You got the last bit of info after leaning forward and showing off some cleavage for the last guy, before joining with Isa to go over your findings.

The guy's name is Yoichi Sanjuro. He's just one of the random club members part of Brando who goes around fighting anyone he can beat. The main thing about him that everybody remembers, other than him being a dick, is his Model.It's a Zaku-II from the main Gundam Series, but modified to be a ranged monster. The thing is outfitted with two Beam Rifles, two Rocket Launchers, and multiple Anti-Mech Mines that he leaves in his wake. His general tactic is to fight in terrain where it's hard to spot his Zaku, then shoot the enemy to pieces. If they try to get close, he drops his mines to keep them back.However, he apparently has next to no melee capabilities. Or really any way to defend from taking a hit. So, if you can manage to hit him, he'll be hurt quite a bit. After learning these things, Isa pulls you aside and says, "Alright. We got our info. So, what now?">Now, you find the guy and beat him down.>Let's start making noise. Get him to come to us. What club does Isa think you should join?>Write in...
>>6419840>Let's start making noise. Get him to come to us. What club does Isa think you should join?We don't want him figuring out that we've scoped him out and change tactics before the fight. Everyone now probably knows Isa has being going around with a bombshell on his arm so we can pass that off as usual evaluating our options, figuring out what prospective club to join.Besides if Yoichi thinks we're just some hot, noob lady looking for a good time maybe he'll let his guard down in the fight. Hell, if he's that much of a bastard he might jump at the chance to cuck Isa out of his "girlfriend"
>>6419840>Write in...Use our "charms" again. Have some lads spread the word that there's a new bratty girl here who needs to be put in her place. Make it seems like we're a lot weaker than we are.
>>6419846Support
>>6419840>Let's start making noise. Get him to come to us. What club does Isa think you should join?
>>6419840>Let's start making noise. Get him to come to us. What club does Isa think you should join?Zaku guy doesn't seem to be Brando leader guy with the souped up mech, so unless our girl's storing newtype powers in those melons of hers she's going to need a training arc soon. A club can help.
>>6419865>>6419854>>6419844Alright. Let's join a Club.
"Now, we start making noise. Get him to come to us by showing off that I'm a new rising star. What club should I join?" you ask, feeling a bit giddy at the idea.Unfortunately, Isa shakes his head, "You can't. You're not a student here. So, you can't officially join a club. But, we maybe able to convince one of the leaders to let you in as an Adjutant or Assistant or something. As long it's not in any official capacity. Or, you could stay as a free party and just start fighting people. If you do well enough, Brando may try to scout you for their team."You nod your head, "Alright. Still doesn't answer my question."Isa rolls his eyes, "Right. So, I'm on team Rai. Our leader's pretty chill, so she might let you in without any issues. And we are short on staff. Brando hit us pretty hard. Hekate is also an option, but they're a bit...elitist? Not sure if that's the right word, but they're really big on making sure you've got 'the right stuff' before letting you join. Leader's a real stickler for the rules. If you're just looking to help out, join Rai. If you want something a bit more permanent, go for Hekate.">Rai it is! You just need a foot in the door.>Let's try Hekate. Maybe they can help you train for the fight.>Time to freelance it. Find people, fight, get fame, get noticed.>Write in...
>>6419883>Rai it is! You just need a foot in the door.I think husbando number 1 is starting to doubt our super awesome plan. Time to get him a front row seat to see how wrong he is.Also its hardly a hardship to be able to spend more time with a hunk like him. Our girl doesn't seem like she's driven enough to want to do the whole Hekate tryout when there's an easy in with Ral right there, and so freelancing to glory is also out since that's more effort too.

>>6419900Tie Breaker. Joining Rai.
Isa brought you to Rai's Club Room, which was essentially an old closet that the school gave to them. They had since renovated it into an actual club room, complete with a space for Model Kits, a workbench to build and repair them, and even a small VR Board for battles or to test out new builds. There was a small table in the center where five of the club members were gathered around. Three of them were guys, with the last two being girls. As you and Isa stepped into the room, the guys immediately surrounded him and pulled him to the side. They tried to whisper but you heard what they were talking about. Apparently rumors about you and Isa were already spreading around, and they were wondering how he "bagged such a hottie."You giggled internally but focused on your reason for coming here. At least you tried to, Until one of the girls stepped around the table and got up close and personal with you, pressing her chest against yours......which wasn't too much of a problem for you cause, she was...well...flat. You're not saying that's wrong nor trying to make her feel bad. But when compared to you it was...very obvious.
"So," she started, eyes locked on to yours, "you're the woman who's be hanging around my junior, huh? Hmm..."Isa separates from the guys and walks over to you, "Hey, boss. Robinson, this is the leader of the Rai Mecha Battle Club: Kubo Anju. Kubo, this is Robinson. She's a friend who wants to join up and-""Upupup," Kubo holds a finger up to silence Isa. She doesn't take her eyes off you as she says, "If she wants to join, then she'll have to pass the test first.""Come on, boss.""No! Everyone's gotta do it!" Kubo backs up and crosses her arms while glaring at you, "First question, newbie: Do you have a Model?""Uh, yes.""What kind?""A Huckebein 008L.""Have you fought before?""A few times. Not many."She hums, continuing to look you up and down. Then she shrugs and lowers her arms, "Alright. Good enough. You can hang around and, if anyone asks, you're part of the club.""Thank you so much," you say, bowing to her. Then you look over at Isa with a smile, "You were right about it being easy.""Yeah," he then turns to Kubo and says, "Listen, boss. Robinson here wants to help us with our Brando problem. She wants to go fight Yoichi and get him back for my GM."Kubo's eye light up, "Well why didn't you say so before?! I'm all in on that! I know where the guy is, and we can get a Battle set up ASAP. What do you say, newbie?"
>You're in! Let's get this show on the road!>You'd like a chance to test your skills first. See if you got rusty. Anyone willing to fight you?>Actually, you want to spend some more time getting stuff ready and gathering info. Is that alright?>Write in...
>>6419911>You'd like a chance to test your skills first. See if you got rusty. Anyone willing to fight you?Don't mind the first option, but might as well get some practice in before facing down one of the guys who took down half the uni
>>6419912>>You'd like a chance to test your skills first. See if you got rusty. Anyone willing to fight you?
>>6419916>>6419915>>6419914---"Not yet. I'd like to test my skills first. I've fought in Battles before, but it's been some time since then," you say, hiding your mouth behind a hang as you giggle. Kubo nods, "Right, right. Makes sense. Hmm, we've got a few basic GM models that you can practice against. Or you can have one of us use our personal Model.""If you choose me, I'll have to go for one of the basic GMs. Unless you're willing to wait for me to fix up my own. Which, I should go do now," Isa says, walking over to one of the work benches."And I'll only fight you with a basic GM," Kubo says, pointing at her chest with her thumb, "My own personal Model's a bit...special. Wouldn't be right to challenge a newbie with it. Anyone else willing to help out?"The second Kubo said that, the rest of the guys all offered themselves up for a match. From what you saw, one had another GM, one had a Guntank, and the last guy actually had what looked like a Super Robot of some kind. Though it's not one you recognize. Hmm...>Fight Isa, have him use one of the Basic GMs.>Fight Isa, wait for him to fix his GM.>Fight Kubo, she's using a basic GM>Fight the guy with his own GM.>Fight the guy with a Guntank.>Fight the guy with a Super Robot.
>>6419924>Fight Isa, wait for him to fix his GM.Because when we kick Zaku guys in revenge for Isa's fallen GM it'll be funnier if it's already fixed. Besides might as well go big or go home
Rolled 92 + 15 (1d100 + 15)>>6419925Okay. Let Isa fix his GM then fight him. Rolling 1d100+15 for Isa fixing his GM. Higher = Fixed it Faster.
>>6419928Man he's good
>>641992892 + 15 = 107. Great!---"I'll wait for Isa to fix his GM up. Then we can have a match," you say while taking out your Huckebein. The other guys look discouraged, but Kubo is quick to push them away and tell them to get back to working on their own stuff. The other girl in the room has remained silent, only focusing on looking at a few unopened Model Kits.You're led over to the VR Board by Kubo while Isa continues working on his own Model. You watch from a distance, seeing him take some parts from other Kits and begin to piece them together. He's actually rather good at it. By the time you've got your Huckebein all set up, he's standing up from the bench and saying, "Done! There you go, Junker. Good as new.""Junker?" you ask, watching Isa as he walks over to the VR Board and sits on the other side. The Board itself is basically a small, rectangular table. On either side are small consoles with twin joysticks, a landing for your Model, and a few buttons to let you switch between your weapons."It's my name for him. He's been with me for a while, and I plan to keep using him. Haven't really customized him much though. Just gave him a few more Melee options but little else," he says while sitting down. He places his "Junker" on the landing on his side before asking you, "You got a name for your own Model?">Nope. You just call it the Huckebein.>Sure, it's (Write in...)
>>6419932>Nope. You just call it the Huckebein.
>>6419932>>Sure, it's (Write in...)Rudolf
>>6419932>>Sure, it's (Write in...)>Veltav (Velt for short)Must name it after the cutest male pilot it has that's not a self insert. And I do think velt is a cute nickname
>>6419937>>6419935Alright. I'll leave it for a bit longer.
>>6419935>>6419937>>6419934At this rate might as well give it the full government name of>Rudolf Velt Huckebein
>>6419941That actually sounds fun. Let's go with it.
>>6419943Can be shorten to R.V.H when commentators inevitably bitch about its cute name being a mouthfulAlso it is so fucking hard to find a non-vtuber mature looking green haired silver eyed girl that's not AI slop
"I call him, Rudolf Velt Huckebein.""That's a mouthful.""Yes, which is why you are allowed to call him Velt, for short," you giggle while grabbing both joysticks, "Ready?""Ready," Isa nods and both of you turn towards the VR Board. Kubo reaches down and presses the button to turn it on fully. Within moment, a wave of green particles expands outwards from the center of the board as a terrain is formed before you. You spot a large, flat, grassland waiting for you as your Model is scanned and recreated before you.Isa shouts as his Model appears, "Let's go, Junker!"That's probably his Battle Cry. Some Battlers have them, both for fun and to give themselves an identity. Hmm, did you have one?>Nope. You just say, "Launch!" and that's it.>Nope. You stay totally silent.>Yes, it's (Write in...)

>>6419954>>6419951Honestly liking the Chunni one, but I'll hold off to see if anymore show up. Or there's a tiebreaker.
>>6419948>>Nope. You just say, "Launch!" and that's it.
>>6419956kek then put me down for maximum chunni
...Okay. Fuck it, I'm going with this >>6419954if only cause it seems more interesting to me.
"Let's devour them all, darling~," you say while focusing on the VR Board as it slowly fills out.---A second later, you're "on the battlefield inside" Velt. Of course, you're not actually on the battlefield. But it "feels" like it enough, that you basically "are" in a way. Before you in a large grassland with few hills blocking any line of sight. You can hear the wind whistling and nearly smell the morning dew.You're not sure how this works, to be honest. Something about the Minovsky Particles being able to connect to people's senses and make things feel real or something like that. But, it certainly helps make you perform better in combat. Much easier to maneuver when it feels like you've got full control over mech."Hey, Robinson? Can you hear me?" your Comm-Link goes active and you hear Isa's voice on the other end."Loud and clear," you say back, keeping your voice light and airy, "Though, should you really be talking to the enemy right now?""It's just training. No need to take it so seriously. Besides, even with this handicap, I'm not gonna make it easy for you," he sounds confident. Which you like. After a few seconds he speaks up, "Okay. So, boss set things up to where the first one to be "Shot Down" loses. This basically means you can't fight or move your Mech anymore. We don't have the 'Realistic Damage' settings on, so no need to worry about any damage to your real Model. The rest I'll leave up to you to figure out. Isa out...good luck."With that, he cuts off communications and you're left to find him yourself. Alright, let's see...>Just start looking for him. See how that goes.>Try to trace his Communication Signal back to him. That should help you out.>Find a spot to hide and wait for him to show up. Ambush tactics.>Write in...
>>6419970>Try to trace his Communication Signal back to him. That should help you out.No man can escap-I mean, this might probably be the easiest way of finding where the Zaku is lurking, too.

Rolled 95 + 10 (1d100 + 10)>>6419989Okay, first, I'm gonna go ahead and roll the last die. However, before we continue I do have another thing to ask: Do we want Nat 69s to count as Lewd Crits?This Quest is not NSFW. But I did say it would be Ecchi at least. So, having 69s count as Crits is within the realm of sensibility. Note that if the answer is yes, then that means that whenever a 69 rolls, it will be a Crit. I will see about making something lewd IF I CAN and IT MAKES SENSE in the narrative. But, if there's no way I can make the current circumstances lewd, I'll treat it like a normal Crit. So...what do you think?
>>6419991Okay, ignore my roll, but the question is still there:>Yes, let's have Lewd Crits.>No, no Lewd Crits.
>>6419993>Yes, let's have Lewd Crits.Honestly not really keen about gratuitous ecchi but willing to deal with it if it means more chances for robot crits boss
>>6419994I can assure you, I won't make it gratuitous...at least I'll try not to. Like I said, I will only add in the lewd in regards to the Crit IF it makes sense to do so. If it doesn't, it'll be treated as a normal Crit.
>>6419993>>Yes, let's have Lewd Crits.
>>6419992>no
>>6419994>>6419997>>6419998Alright. 69 Counts as a Lewd Crit. In this case, it'll just be a Crit since I can't really think of anything Lewd that can happen right now.
Time to show him exactly why having open Comms with your opponent isn't a good idea. You put your fingers on the console connecting to your Communication Suite, pull up the hacking buttons, and go to town. It's...surprisingly easy to find where he is. He's directly to your west and moving fast. Seeing that, you take to the air and fly after him, wanting to have the height advantage right off the bat. After a bit of flying, you catch sight of his GM. It has the same color scheme as the ones from the show, but with two Beam Sabers on its hips, a shield, and a Beam Rifle in one hand. He doesn't seem to have noticed you yet, running along the ground heading for a nearby hill. Hmm, you could get a surprise shot off on him here, or get close and stab him from behind.>Fire your Missile Launcher. Hit hard and hit fast!>Fire your Beam Magnum. While you've got a clear shot.>Charge in and hit him with your Beam Saber. Close Range!>Use your Black Hole Launcher. End this in one shot. (WARNING: CAN ONLY BE USED ONCE PER BATTLE!)>Write in...

Well, your real target is made for ranged combat. So you need to learn how to get up close and personal. To that end.You hit your thrusters, pull out your Beam Saber, and charge straight for Isa's exposed back. By the time he realizes you're coming at him, it's already too late. You swing down just as he turns around and end up cutting his left arm clean off."Damn!" he shouts through the Comms, trying to make some distance. However, you're on him like a hawk. You boost forward and land a kick straight to his mid-section, planning to follow it up with another slash. However, he brings up his own Beam Saber and clashes with yours."Told you I had experience," you tease through the Comms, your vision filled with the sparks of your clashing energy weapons, "Impressed?""Don't get ahead of yourself," Isa says, not sounding too rattled, "I only need one arm to beat a newbie like you.""Oh, we shall see."What's your next move?>Keep up the pressure!

"You know, this isn't my first time getting tangled up with a handsome man," you say, moving forward and continuing to strike at him with your sword."Yes, I know. You've mentioned how you've done Mecha Battling before," he responds, blocking your downward strike with a horizontal guard, "I imagine that you've been in a few melee engagements.""Maybe, but I'm not talking about that. I mean something a bit more...intimate~.""Wh-What are you-" An opening! You break the clash, duck down and cut upwards along his torso. You leave a deep, burning gash right across the GM's chest. You follow it up with another slice, though this one isn't as deep as he's able to recover a bit and back up. "Damn it!" he shouts, managing to get enough distance to pull out his Beam Rifle. He aims and fires, but you're able to mostly dodge around his shots. Some hits skim across your shoulder pieces, but nothing lands a good hit.You've got the advantage here. Might even be able to finish it.>Go for the finisher! Time to end this!>Keep up the pressure. Don't get cocky.>Back up and start firing. Finish this from range.>Write in...
>>6420447>Write in: Try to feint him into firing at an after image while you sneak around and get him in the back. Again he's giving us the golden opportunity to figure out how to get in close when you're opponent has you at range. Plus I want to see exactly what our afterimages can actually do.

>>6420479But it was a good thing we had the foresight to deploy Tactical Flirting to get him all off guard and flustered
>>6420485>clicked post too soon...considering how mid our rolls have been.
Alright. One last thing to try; your Afterimage feature. This thing is probably gonna be one of the primary things that's gonna let you survive against Yoichi. If you can deploy it at the right moment, you could get a good hit on him and maybe put him down in one blow. You fly forward, making it look like you're just planning to charge in and end this in one blow. Isa's GM aims is gun where your going to be and you hear him shout, "Gotcha! You shouldn't just do the sam-"He fires and the beam LOOKS like it hit you. But you've already moved out of the way, leaving behind an afterimage after activating your boosters right afterwards. You boost right behind him and, with one last strike, cut his remaining arm and head off in one swing. Even before his GM hits the ground, you see a pop-up in front of your face that simply states "VICTORY!"
---You find yourself out of the cockpit of Velt and back in the real world. Looking across from you, you see Isa with his head down and a grin on his face. He lifts his head up and nods, "Not bad, Robinson. You've certainly got some skills.""I'll say! She totally dominated you, dude!" Kobu says, coming over and putting her arm around your shoulder, "She'll be able to handle Yoichi just fine!""Don't go giving her a swelled head, boss. Besides, it's mainly cause she kept saying all that weird stuff during the fight," Isa shakes his head with a frown, "It worked to psyche me out, but I'm not sure if it'll work on Yoichi.""Dude, you fought Yoichi. You know he's a jerk. It's precisely because of that, that her fake flirting will work on him," Nobu backs you up."I'm just saying," Isa holds his hands up.>Agree with Nobu. It's been working so far.>Agree with Isa. You probably shouldn't rely on that during the fight.>Tease Isa some more. Who said any of your flirting was fake?>Write in...
>>6420495>Tease Isa some more. Who said any of your flirting was fake?My my, so he thinks our opening salvo was nothing but a fakeout? Or perhaps we were just too mild for him to notice - a stud like him must have plenty of admirers already. Well then, the next time we find ourselves all hot and bothered in close quarters, we'll just have to use all the...special weapons, at our disposal.
>>6420500Hope he's prepared.Also ooc, is our girl the ara ara~ type, or is she still a bit too young and feisty for that?
>>6420495>>Tease Isa some more. Who said any of your flirting was fake?
>>6420501You're in your early 20s, so you're still a bit young for that. But that doesn't mean you don't/can't act like that.
>>6420495>Tease Isa some more. Who said any of your flirting was fake?Get in close and deploy the special weapons in their tactical tube top to seize initiative.>Kobu>NobuIs this boss and one of the background maidenless dudes or...?
>>6420507>Nobu...Sure, let's go with that.>>6420500Anyway, flirting it is.
While you understand that they're trying to have a serious conversation, and you are glad that Nobu (one of the other boys in the club, he told you his name but you never really committed it to memory until now) is backing you up. However, you just can't resist teasing Isa a bit more."Oh, that's really cute Isa," you say, standing up and walking around the table to be on his side."What is?" he asks, watching you like a hawk. He does nothing to stop you, though, as you walk around until you're right behind him. This close you're able to admire how broad he is. His muscles don't show through the sweatshirt, but you can tell they're their. Moving quickly you lean forward and throw your arms around his neck...while making sure to press your boobs against his hard back."That any of that was fake~," you giggle into his ear while leaning particularly close to him.Isa's is frozen for longer than you expected. Then he quickly grabs his GM off the VR Board and pulls himself away from you. You catch the briefest hints of a blush on his face before he heads out the room saying, "I-I-I'll be waiting for when you're ready to go fight Yoichi."
>Keep forgetting that Kubo is the bosses name. Not Kobu.You watch him go, doing everything in your power to stop yourself from laughing. Looking at the rest of the room, you see the guys trying their best not to look at you...but they're all as red as tomatoes. "Hey, Robinson," Kubo says while walking up to you, "I'm fine with you teasing him, but don't try to steal my members by using your tits, got it? I have enough issues with Brando.""I have no idea what you mean~," you play coy, tapping a finger against your lip to look cute.She rolls her eyes then says, "Well, ya got your training in. You ready to go find that Yoichi jerk and give him a good pounding?">Sure. You're ready to get this show on the road.>Maybe later. You want to see about customizing Velt before you go.>You think you could use some more training. Couldn't hurt.>Write in...
>>6420519>Sure. You're ready to get this show on the road.I do want to customize Velt (mainly so we can swap the single plasma sword for the dual Roche Saber so we can still fight if one of our arms are cut off/throw a blade at someone in a pinch), but that can wait until after we fire the first shot at Brando. >>Keep forgetting that Kubo is the bosses name. Not Kobu.It's okay, Kobu is clearly NPC dude number 2. Easy mistake to make, everyone outside Rai keeps getting those three mixed up too.
>>6420519>Sure. You're ready to get this show on the road.Gotta keep boss lady happy >>6420521The third guy is clearly Kudo. Fate brought them together to get mistaken for each other all the time.
>>6420519>>Sure. You're ready to get this show on the road.
>>6420519>Sure. You're ready to get this show on the road.
---After getting Isa to calm down, you, Kubo, and him head out to find Yoichi. It's not that difficult. You just have to ask around for him and people point you in his direction. When you find the guy, he's inside the "Mecha Battle Zone", essentially a big rec room completely dedicated to Mecha Battles. There are lots of other people here hanging out, battling, or messing with their models."That's him," Isa points towards a guy in a tracksuit leaning his back against one of the VR Boards. Around him stand three other guys who seem to be gassing him up and praising him.As your party approaches, Yoichi spots you and pushes himself off the VR Board. A shit eating grin comes over his face and he waves, "Isa! Good to see you man. Back for another beating. Ah, I see you brought your boss with you and...oooh, now who is this?"He gives you special attention, one hand on his chin as he looks you up and down...eyes taking time to stare at your chest and hips for longer than normal. He chuckles, "Why, hello cutie. What's your name?">Tell him and challenge him. Right here, right now.>Don't tell him. Just challenge him. He doesn't deserve to know your name.>Let Isa handle it. It is him you're fighting for.>Write in...
>>6420574>>Tell him and challenge him. Right here, right now.Taunt him
You don't even hesitate. You march up to him, point at his face, and say plainly, "Yoichi Sanjuro. I Robinson, challenge you to a Mecha Battle. Here and now."The man and his cronies go silent for a moment. They share a look before they all start to laugh. Yoichi looks over at Isa and says, "Really, man? You're so salty over me beating you, you get some random chick to fight your battles for you?"Smiling, expecting this to happen, you cross your arms under your breasts and say, "Ah, I understand. My apologies, I didn't realize my challenge would frighten you so much."That gets him and his goons to stop laughing. He turns his attention to you, a dangerous glint in his eyes and smile, "Careful there, cutie. You may say something you'll come to regret.""Hmm, I doubt that. What I am regretting, though, is talking to you more than I have to. If you're not interested in Mecha Battles because you're scared of me, then I'll take my business to someone with something between their legs," you hear some gasps and oohs from some of the people around you. Seems you've gathered a crowd.That finally gets Yoichi's goat. He reaches behind him and pulls out his Zaku. Sure enough, it's decked out with multiple ranged weapons, just as you had heard. He's smile turns predatory as he says, "Alright. If that's how you're gonna be, I'll fight you. But, you have to make it worth my while. How's about a bet?""Piss off, Yoichi. She-" you hold up a hand to interrupt Kubo. She clicks her tongue but abides by your wishes. Yoichi taps his chin then says, "How about this? If I win, you have to come and hang with me for the rest of the day. And you can't say no to anything I ask of you.""And if I win," you say, not even flinching at the suggestion, "you'll get on your knees and apologize to Isa for damaging his Model."He laughs out loud, "Fine! Shake on it?">Sure, you'll take the bet.>No. Just fight.>Hold on, you've got other stipulations.>Write in...
>>6420638>Hold on, you've got other stipulations.>You gotta do what I say for a day too. And you can't say no.Interrupting us before we're finished? Looks like Velt needs to beat a hell of a lot of manners into him too.But really we need to interrogate him more on what his boss can do. And get him to apologize to the rest of the people he terrorised on his knees too after.when are we gonna vote on her first name though
>>6420638>>6420820Support because compared to what he's putting down our terms look pathetic. Maybe we can bully him into buying upgrades for Velt.
>>6420820+1
>>6420638>>6420820Support.
>>6420820Alright then.
---You hold up your hand and glare at Yoichi, "Interrupting a lady before she can finish? You really do need some manners.""Wha-But you alr-""I wasn't finished," you interrupt him, smiling smugly, "After all, your conditions are far more damaging than my own. Thus, it only makes sense to turn them back on you. If I win, you have to do whatever I say for a day. And you can't say no. Are you man enough to take that deal?"More "oohs" come from the crowd and at this point if Yoichi says no, he'll lose a lot of face. You don't know how much worth Brando places on its reputation, but you imagine it's a lot. Yoichi looks around, frowning for a moment, before putting up his shit eating grin, "Fine. Not like I can lose to some newbie who doesn't even go here anyway. Shake on it?""You don't have to do this, Robinson," Isa says, leaning forward. ...Actually, you should probably let people know what your first name is now. It's nice being called Robinson, but not so much.>Write in first name...As for the deal...>Shake Yoichi's hand. He's got a deal.>You've got a few more stipulations.>Write in...
>>6421049>>Write in first name...Lydia>Shake Yoichi's hand. He's got a deal.
>>6421049>Shake Yoichi's hand. He's got a deal.>Grace After the flirty female protag from SRW 4
>>6421049>Write in first name...Grace>Shake Yoichi's hand. He's got a deal.Maybe have him say he's got a maid outfit he wants us to wear if he wins
>>6421049>Write in first name...Grace>Shake Yoichi's hand. He's got a deal.
Rolled 2 (1d2)Shake his hand, and Grace. Got it.---"I, Grace Robinson, accept your wager," you grab his hand and shake on it, sealing the deal.He chuckles, "Don't back out when you lose, now.""Wouldn't dream of it," you say, separating as the two of you go to your respective spots on the VR Board. A crowd has gathered around, everyone watching as the two of you get ready to fight. You take out Velt and place it on the landing. Yoichi does the same to his Zaku-II. Unlike the last one, this VR Board emits an image of a coin. Below it are the words "??? Will Choose Terrain". It automatically marks you as Heads and Yoichi as Tails. Then, it flips through the air...
It lands Tails and Yoichi's grin widens as he quickly chooses the terrain you'll be fighting in. He ends up choosing "Battlefield Wreckage", showing off a place in space with a bunch of destroyed ships and mobile suits. The words "Are the pilots ready?" appear before both of you. Yoichi quickly goes, "Yeah I am. Gunline, blow her to bits!"So, his Zaku's called "Gunline", huh? Alright then, let's do this. You take the two joysticks and say, "Let's devour them all, darling~!"
---You're once again in Velt's cockpit, this time in the middle of an old battlefield somewhere in space. Around you are the drifting hulks of ships and shot down carcasses of mobile suits. You've already got your thrusters going to keep yourself oriented.Hmm, first thing's first, you've gotta find out where Yoichi is. Once you do, you can start working on bringing him down. But how are you doing to do that?>Sneak around, try to get the jump on him. You can hide in the wreckages to break line of sight.>Boost around and look. You'll find him eventually.>Maybe you can draw him out somehow? Make some noise and get him to start firing on you.>Maybe you can find him using your sensors? He's probably hiding himself, but that doesn't mean you can't find him.>Write in...
>>6421104>>Maybe you can draw him out somehow? Make some noise and get him to start firing on you.Time to use our charms again
>>6421104>Maybe you can draw him out somehow? Make some noise and get him to start firing on you.He thinks we're a newbie anyway. Might as well open our comms while we're at it and see if he takes the bait so we can track that too. >My my, why so shy? I thought you'd be raring to come and get your hands on me. Or are you just worried I'll find you...disappointing?If sneaking and sensors worked then someone else would have gotten the jump on him.
>>6421104>Maybe you can draw him out somehow? Make some noise and get him to start firing on you.
Rolled 64 + 5 (1d100 + 5)Alright. Drawing him out.Roll 1d100+15. Bo3. Rolling 1d100+5 to see if he can resist taking the bait.

Or are you just worried I'll find you...disappointing?"Unfortunately, unlike with Isa, your teasing doesn't seem to work on him. Even when you start moving out in the open to try to make yourself seem like a good target, you don't see hide nor hair of him. Which just leaves you more on edge. Where could he be-Roll 1d100+5. Bo3. I'm rolling 1d100+10 for him.

Rolled 4 + 10 (1d100 + 10)>>6421212Cool...forgot to roll for Yoichi. Gonna do that now.
---"Gotcha!" Yoichi's voice immediately puts you on high alert. On instinct you boost to the side, barely dodging the barrage of gunfire heading your way. As it continues and starts following you, you turn around and boost off with your thrusters looking back to see your adversary launching a barrage at you."Dance, rabbit, dance!" he shouts, rifle opening up as he starts drawing beads on you with his other weapons, "Try to make this entertaining for me!"Damn, he's got you right where he wants you. He's at range and so are you. You'll have to close the distance if you want to deal any damage. ...Alright.If he wants to play, then let's play.
>>Gonna end it here for now. Thanks for being here everyone who was here. Hope you all had fun, see you next time/thread depending on if this gets Archived or not.

>Back at it. Let's go.---"What's wrong?! I thought you were gonna teach me manners?! Where did that bravado go?!"Jeez. Does he ever stop talking? He hasn't even hit you yet. Sure, you've been dinged a few times by a stray shot. But you've suffered no serious damage. He's basically jerking himself off for no reason. You've just been boosting and thrusting around without worrying about his attacks. Sure, he's a decent shot. But he's not that good. Still, you can't dodge forever. You need to actually make a play on him. Though, he's probably set up those mines you were warned about. Hmmm, what should you do?>Charge in anyway! He won't be expecting you to just bum rush him!>Stay at a distance and snipe him down. Maybe you can beat him at his own game.>Use the debris in the Battlefield for cover and close in on him.

>>6423904>Use Afterimage and start throwing around pieces of debris towards him to try and set of the mines
>>6423904>Use Afterimage to try to close the distance. It should let you get close at least.
>>6423904>Use the debris in the Battlefield for cover and close in on him. No way he'll be able to shoot through all this hull.Using afterimage right now is blowing our load too early - we need to use it once we've closed the distance enough that one boost + afterimage gets us within striking range. Using the debris is also an obvious play so he won't get spooked into using the mines.
>>6423904>Write in>Sloppily try to get closer to him using debris cover, then use afterimage to close the gap once all his attention is focused on our "location" A combination of debris and afterimage which that takes advantage of both the fact that he sees us as a stupid newbie and he wants to make us squirm. We close the first bit of distance to him using the asteroid field as cover while not bothering too much about stealth. That should mean he gets his guard down because he thinks we're just a stupid girl who's just all talk, and instead of gunning for this kill he'll probably toy with us and do a few pot shots to taunt us which gives us more time to edge that littler bit close. If we're very lucky might even make he drift out of his minefield if he thinks he can finish this easy peasy and the mines are overkill.Then we maybe bait him into going in for the kill by pretending to mess up and give him an opening, and then afterimage into close combat range. Missile launcher to detonate all his mines and go in for the kill.Using afterimage alone will just get his guard up if we can't connect a hit and wastes our best weapon, and too good of a debris infiltration will just cause him to lock in and go for the kill. He probably has practise shooting through debris anyway because we're probably not the first person to try using cover to get close.But if my write in doesn't get traction then just put me down for >Use the debris for cover.When deciding the vote because I want to keep afterimages in reserve.

Time to take advantage of your surroundings. Turning your body, you engage your thrusters while grabbing a piece of destroyed battleship and holding it out in front of you like a shield. Hard thumps hit against the hull as you flew towards your target, his attacks damaging it but not enough to get through it.At first.It couldn't stay intact forever. It would break eventually. Thankfully, you made sure to stay close to more of the destroyed ships and asteroids. When your makeshift shield finally turned to burning slag, you tossed it away and flew towards an intact piece. You kept this up for a while, until you managed to finally get close enough that you could see his Zaku-II.Along with the field of about five mines that he left around himself."Tsk, damn rabbit. The running and hiding is getting old," he puts up his rifles and puts both hands on his shoulder, twin rocket launchers come down aiming directly at you, "Let's see you run from this!"Fires both launchers, the dark space around him lightning up as they speed through the space directly towards you...moving to make sure they hit you. Heat-seekers or something similar. >Shoot them down before they get close!>Charge in, slice through them, and boost passed the explosion.>Afterimage.

Rolled 35 (1d100)>>6424285>Right Arm: You get away but your right arm gets caught in the explosion. You're right handed, so this might be an issue. Boosters and afterimage can compensate since he's shit at close range. We still have our missiles to fire in his face, and worst comes to worst a point blank black hole launcher can finish him. Plus us losing a whole arm might let him think we're on our last legs and make him get even cockier, sure in his victory.

As if this is gonna stop you. You charge forward, pulling out your beam saber and aiming to cut through both of the rockets. Your blade cleaves through them easily, sending both halves away. You turn to face your opponent and-MINES!The rockets were a distraction! He was trying to get you with his mines! The small black balls start turning red as you enter their proximity. You're too close to get away, and you don't think Afterimage will be enough to save you here. So, you do the only thing you can think to do...Raising both your right arms to block, you brace for what's to come.The mines and the rockets you cut apart detonate and you feel Velt get rocked. The actual pain of being sent flying around your cockpit is lessened by the Particles, but it still feels rough. You're temporarily deafened, but it doesn't last long. Soon enough, you're able to stabilize yourself and get an idea of what went wrong.Let's see...you did take some damage. But Velt's still in the fight. Thrusters, Boosters, Magnum, Beam Saber, Afterimage, and Black Hole Launcher are still intact...but you've lost your right arm.Oh, that's not good. You're right handed."Ha! Still hanging in there I see," you look up and scowl, watching as Yoichi's Mech starts trying to get a bead on you through the smoke, "But, don't worry, that won't last for long!"Hrnngh, this isn't good. He's completely taken the momentum. Not to mention you only managed to reach medium range. You still have a distance to cover that he could shoot you through. At least he doesn't have the mines anymore. Urgh, what now?>Charge in! All or nothing!>Start firing your Magnum. You can't get in close right now!>...Screw it, all or nothing. Fire the Black Hole Launcher! (ONCE PER BATTLE!)>Maybe you could trick him into getting close to you? Make him think you're completely defenseless?>Write in...

>>6424715That's 119 VS -22. It's a great comeback!Choose what part you want to cut off of him:>Take an arm. Make it so he can't use it to fire two weapons at once, or use a melee weapon very effectively.>Take his Launchers. Stops his heavy ordinance.>Take his Mine Launcher. No more of those.>Take out his Thrusters. He can't get away anymore.>Take out his Main Camera. Make it hard for him to track you.

>>6424765>Take out his Thrusters. He can't get away anymore.
>>6424770---Okay. You know how to use this to your advantage. Time to make used of what you practiced with Isa.You hit your boosters as you aim straight for Yoichi's Zaku. It takes a bit of fumbling, but you eventually pull your Beam Saber out and turn it on in your left hand. It's not easy to use it, but that's fine. As long as you've got the element of surprise, you should be able to get this guy."Huh?! Is th-FUCK!" you burst through the smoke, hurtling straight for him as he screams in surprise. He turns and aims both his rifles at you, pulling the triggers and sending a wave of lead your way. You hit the Afterimage systems before they strike, leaving it to get eviscerated while you close the distance. Moving under him and to his back, you yell a battle cry as you cut into the thrusters on his back. Your blade bites deep and leaves a massive, burning cut in the energy on the back. "F-Fuck! You damn, bitch! Gotta-Gotta get this off!" he shouts as you duck away from an attempt at backhanding you. He manages to get the pack off his back, but not before it explodes and takes the rest of his thrusters with it. He's still alive, but that left a number on him. His mecha turns its gaze up at you and starts trying to aim...but then he seems to realize.He's a ranged model...and you're in close now."Uh...Uh...H-He-Hey, how about we make a deal?">Get him! Slice him to ribbons.>Pull out the Magnum and fire point blank range.>Black Hole Launcher. Point Blank. You should be able to get away...maybe.>Write in...

>>6424865100+ VS 3---"Last I checked," you smile and get your blade ready, "We already had a deal, darling~."Without ceremony you boost forward and start wailing on him as much as you can. Oh, he tries to block or fire back with his guns. But when Isa said he sucked in melee combat, he meant it. His "defense" is more flailing than actually trying to defend himself. In some cases, he just makes the situation worse.It certainly is fun finally managing to get some good hits on him. By the time you're done, it's lost a leg and an arm along with having multiple cuts across his mech.You've got him on the ropes. Now the question is, how will you finish this?>Write in Finisher...

Keeping up your smile, you put away your beam saber and put two fingers where your Mecha's lips would be if it had any. At the same time, you hit the switches on all your missiles, the tubes on your back opening up as you prepare to launch them. "Can't wait to make you...my little rabbit~. Chu~", you blow him a kiss right when you hit the launch button. A barrage of missiles launches from your back and, at this range, all land a direct hit right on his Model. You stay right on the edge of the explosion, letting the force blow you away as he's turned to scrap. Pretty soon the victory screen appears and----...You're brought back out of the simulation. Around you, you hear nothing but cheers of joy while Yoichi is left slumped over his side of the VR Board. The two cronies that were around him seem to have made themselves scarce. As you can't see them anywhere. "Robinson! You did it!" you hear Kubo say, as she runs over and grabs you around your waist, "You really did it!""Thought he had you for a second there," Isa says, walking over and patting you on your shoulder, "But you turned it around in the end. Nice job.">Thank them and bask in the glory for a bit. >Say you're not done yet. You've still got a prize waiting for you.>Write in...

>Pic is not exactly correct. More like one of those arm/breasts scenes. But couldn't find it so going with this.---You turn over to Isa and pull him into a hug. Nobu's let you go by now, so you're able to press yourself against him fully. You look up and give him a flirty smile, "Did you enjoy the show, dear? That was for you. Your Junker has been avenged.""Uh, yeah, thanks," he says, trying to avoid the fact that one of his arms is currently in between your girls. Whether that was on purpose you'll never tell."Hey! The weasel is trying to get away!" Nobu yells, and you two turn to see Yoichi trying to slowly tip-toe away from you. He flinches at Nobu's force and starts trying to force his way through the crowd."Oh, no! You're not escaping!" Isa says, gently separating from you before running after Yoichi.>Follow them!

>66 Beats a 47...but Isa got a nat 69...so...---"Oh, no you don't!" you shout, running after Yoichi with Isa, "You get back here! We had a deal!""Yeah, you snake! Come here!" you hear Nobu shout as she joins you in your running.Unfortunately, while you run as fast as you can, Isa is a bodybuilder of some kind. He completely outpaces you and catches up to Yoichi quick. The two of them round a corner, and you hear the sound of something getting knocked over. Along with grunting sounds. When you and Nobu round the corner, you're treated to the sight of Isa holding Yoichi under his arm...his naked arm.Because his shirt is off and water is running down his muscular body. Next to him is an overturned bucked of what you think was water, along with a couple of guys yelling at Isa for knocking it over."Sorry about that," he said to them, hefting Yoichi up, "Little shit was trying to get out of our deal.""Let me go you fucking gorilla!' Yoichi struggles, but he's too wimpy to even make him budge. "Quiet," Isa shakes him before turning around to look at you and Nobu. Then he holds up his free hand and waves it, "Hey. Sorry about the mess. Ran into these guy's water bucket. Drenched my shirt, so I took it off. Hope you don't mind.">You're just glad he's alright. Now then, Yoichi...>Oh, you don't mind at all.

You hardly get to see any of this outside of your literature. Out the corner of your eye, you see Nobu staring as well, though she's trying to keep it "professional"."Right," Isa says, walking forward with his wet, rippling muscles. He then tosses Yoichi on the floor in front of you. The weasel tries to crawl away, but you stomp the ground in front of him to keep him from running. You loom over him, hands on your hips and an evil smirk on your face. He swallows nervously and laughs, "Heheh...uh...any chance I could just say I'm sorry?""No.""Aieee!">Write in punishment for Yoichi...

Is it just because he's an asshole on a power trip, or has he maybe gotten wind that there's gonna be a spot in the regionals/regional qualifiers opening up for the college's best mecha battler and this is all an early attempt to thin out the competition?Then dragging him to Rai for the rest of the apologies is easier than having to drag him around the campus to find all his victims....and if he DID have a maid outfit that he was planning to stuff Grace into if we lost, then I would not object to making him perform steps 2/3 while wearing it. But only if he already had the maid outfit ready to go, don't think out girl is that much of a sadist to go out and buy one specially. ...DO think she'll be petty enough to go out and buy some bunny ears to really tie the outfit together though, kek

---"...My money...all my precious money," Yoichi whines again, his body laying against the wall while his hands limply hold an empty wallet. "Oh, stop it. You sound like a girl," Isa says, counting up the yen he got from the Brando member. You had dragged Yoichi to the Rai Clubroom, forced him to apologize to everyone he had hurt, and made him pay for any repairs. Until his wallet was completely empty. Now, you, Isa, Nobu, and the other members are all sitting around laughing at Yoichi or just enjoying yourselves. The others are even starting to talk about how they're gonna improve their Models.You're currently sitting a chair and tapping your chin. Nobu comes over and puts her arm around your shoulder, "What's eating you, Robinson-san? You're the Hero of the Day! You should be excited and glad for your victory.""I am...it's just...well...," Yoichi did not, in fact, have a maid outfit prepared. He was, apparently, planning to buy one later, but that's not gonna happen anytime soon. So, no putting him in one.>Shame. You would've liked to see that.>Meh, at least you got most of what you wanted.>Write in...

You sigh, "I really wanted to put in him a maid outfit. I thought he would've had one, but he didn't. And he spent all his money, so no buying it now.""...Isa, you may want to be careful around this one," Nobu jokes while jerking her head at you."Quiet, boss," Isa rolls his eyes and walks over to you. He smiles and holds his hand out for you to take. You do so, and he pulls you to your feet while shaking your head, "Thanks for this, Robinson. Wouldn't have been able to do this without you."You smile, his praise blowing away the disappointment at not being able to get Yoichi in a Maid Outfit. You thank him and let his hand go, "Thanks, but we're not done yet. I've still got him for the whole day. Right, Yoichi?"You look over and smile at your defeated foe, who yelps as you turn your attention to him. Everyone stares him down, while you cross your arms and say, "Okay, now, fess up: Why is Brando doing all this? What made them decide to start attacking other clubs?""I-I-I don't know!" he says, arms up to cover his face, "I only joined, like, a week ago! Thought it would be fun!""You thought breaking other people's stuff so they couldn't spar was fun?" Isa says, sounding much angrier than you thought."I said I was sorry! And, besides, it wasn't really my idea. It was that Vice Captain guy! He's the one you should be mad at! He-""Yoichi Sanjuro," a cold, cold voice suddenly comes from the door to the club room. You all turn to see a man standing in the doorway, one hand on his chin while the other is against his hip. His piercing eyes are locked onto Yoichi as he says, "It seems someone doesn't know how to keep secrets. Well, you were going to be removed from the club anyway. This just makes it easier.">How'd you get here?!>Who the hell are you?!>Write in...
>>6430827>Write in>And you've certainly made things easier for us. So why don't you take a seat and explain just why your little club is acting like a bunch of lowlife assholes?If he can posture then so can we.>Dio Brando for BrandoMy fucking sides
>>6430827>>Who the hell are you?!
>>6430836What better image for an absolute asshole?
>>6430827>Who the hell are you?!
"Who the hell are you?" you ask, as everyone in the room turns to glare at the newcomer. Well, except for Yoichi, who is currently shaking in his boots while staring wide eyed at the man with fear.Despite that, the man doesn't seem threatened in the slightest. He looks over at you with a raised eyebrow, "Oooh? So, the rumors are true. Rai did let in a street rat to help them take care of their own business. How appropriate for weaklings like you, Nobu-chan.""The hell do you want, Moka?" Nobu grits her teeth, stomping up to the newly named Moka. He's taller than her, so she's forced to look up at him. But that doesn't seem to deter her at all, "We kicked one of your boy's asses, so I'd suggest you get the fuck out of here before we do the same to you.""Hahaha! So confident! A stranger gives you a victory and you suddenly have a backbone? Perhaps if you had acted like this before, the regional championship would've been ours," the man states, a wicked smile on his face. It soon disappears as he waves her off, "But, no. That's not why I am here. I simply came to inform that waste of flesh that he is no longer part of Brando. His things have already been taken out of the club room and...disposed of.""What?! No! My merch!" Yoichi stands up and rushes out the room, heading who knows where in a hurry. Moka chuckles, "Yes, run, rabbit! Run! It is always amusing to see weaklings rush to and fro in a panic.">...You don't like this guy.

"What's this about Regionals?" you ask, catching a "keyword" if you've ever heard one.Isa walks over to you and leans down to explain, "Regional Championship for MMB. We got fourth place. Everyone was else was cool with it, but Moka had a fit.""As if that is not appropriate!" Moka says, seeming to have heard you. He actually looks mad now, "The fact that you fools could be satisfied with fourth place of all things! It is that exact attitude that got us such a shameful position. If we are to win next time, we must have better candidates who are willing to take this seriously.">...Is he seroius?>Dude...it's a game.>Write in...

>>6441487>I'm committingYou prop your hands on your hips and raise a brow. "Is that why you're going around destroying everyone's mechs? To find people who bother to stand up and rebuild after?"This guy was going on about fourth place at regionals like it had murdered his entire family. Was Brando's reign of terror his attempt to find people who, in his own words, took things seriously? To figure out who had the drive to pick themselves up again, after being so brutally beaten down?Moka's turns away from Isa, the furrow in his brow smoothing out at he looks you up and down. "So," he drawls, "you do have a brain."And then that wicked smile from earlier makes a reappearance. "Could have fooled me, with that sorry little display you put on earlier.""...Excuse me?" Is all you can get out, before Kubo darts to your side."Hey, hey, hey!" She jerks a thumb to the door Yoichi fled through. "The only sorry thing around here is the fight your man put up."But Moka shakes his head theatrically. "Oh, but I must disagree. Far more pathetic was how your little rat spread her legs and begged that fool of a rabbit to get the drop on her." "Hey," Isa snaps as he steps forward, putting himself between you and Moka. "You better watch your mouth."But Moka meets Isa's glare with a cocky grin. "Yet I said nothing which needs watching? I was simply recalling events as they happened. Events which include how the rodent who Rai hired to fight their battles for them chose to carry on like the most incompetent harlot in the red light district, passing over all opportunities to turn her opponent's field choice against him." He takes a step back, spreading his arms wide to take in the entire room. "Honestly, I never thought I'd see worse than the gormless, brainless trash that dare call themselves Raijin mech battlers, and yet here we are.""Gormless..." Nobu echoes from behind you."Brainless!" Kobu spits."Oi fuck you!" Kubo hollers louder than both of them. "Get the hell out of here, Moka!"But Moka ignores both her and the way Isa takes another step forward, his fists balled at his sides. Instead, he looks you right in the eye. "But now I know you have something between your ears after all, rat. So, please enlighten me." His grin edges wider, and he raises a brow in a mirror of what you did to him. "Is making decisions with your crotch instead of your head something you had to work on, or does it come naturally?"

"Goodness," you say, bringing your hand to your mouth in an exaggerated gesture of surprise. "That's a lot of words just to say you're jealous. Ever heard of brevity being the soul of wit?"And you take vicious pleasure at the way Moka's grin abruptly goes taut around the edges. But it quickly recovers, going wider, smugger, as he tilts his head to literally look down his nose at you. "...I take what I said back. Your head is clearly as empty as the rest of these Rai buffoons if you can take what I said and end up with a conclusion as witless as that."You shake your head. "Oh, but it's what you didn't say which gave you away. Like not making a single peep about me causing poor Velt to lose an arm. You know, I personally thought that was my worst mistake of the fight. Don't you agree, Isa?""…I mean," Isa says after a beat, his eyes bouncing between you and the way Moka's face is doing all sorts of interesting twitches as he struggles to keep his grin in place. "It wasn't that bad…""But not bad enough to make in into Moka's little hissy fit about how ever so pathetic I was. Because he was too busy seething over me flirting with Yoichi instead of him that he just couldn't take in anything else, right?"You shoot Moka a wink and revel in the way his grin finally gives way into a truly hideous scowl. "Wrong!" Moka grits out. "I simply didn't realize you wanted me to get you an itemized list of all your many failings.""Strange." Kubo cuts in. "You've never needed someone to ask you for one. You just hand them out like candy." And then she crosses her arms, bringing out a smug grin which puts Moka's own to shame. "You know, I'm thinking that Robinson is bang on the money.""But actually," you turn to her, "Me being on the money is pretty strange too, isn't it? I mean, with how much of an odious, arrogant, pig he is, Moka must be quite used to women not giving him the time of day. Unless he's that thinned skinned-"And Moka slams his hand down onto the table next to him, hard. "Enough!" His nostrils flare, and you think you're in for another tirade.But then his other hand whips someone out of his pocket and flings it right at you.>And a hand on your shoulder shoves you back as Isa gets in between you and it.>And Kobu lunges forward to swat it out of the air like it was a fly. >And with the reflexes piloting Velt has gifted you, you snatch hold of it before it can hit. >…And Moka is way too fast for any of you to react. It smacks you square in the collarbone.
>>6447540>And Kobu lunges forward to swat it out of the air like it was a fly. >KobuI mean Kubo. Boss lady. You know the one.
>>6447540>And with the reflexes piloting Velt has gifted you, you snatch hold of it before it can hit.
>>6447540>>And with the reflexes piloting Velt has gifted you, you snatch hold of it before it can hit.
>>6447540>And a hand on your shoulder shoves you back as Isa gets in between you and it.
Isa and Kubo both jump into action--but you're one step ahead of them both, neatly nipping forward to snatch the projectile out of the air.You meet Moka dead in the eye, and slowly raise a single brow, wishing you could take a picture of the way his frown deepens for posterity. "Damn, Robinson." Isa says, skidding to a halt next to you. "That was really something."But, really, the one who deserves all the praise is Velt. After all, you would have never been able to pulled something like that off before you started piloting him.Kubo making a noise like a kettle boiling over had both of your gazes snapping over to her.To see Nobu and Kobu holding onto one of her arms for dear life as Rai's other female player maintains a death grip on the other, Kubo struggling hard against all three of them."Boss no!" Nobu cries on as he narrowly avoids taking a shoulder to the face."Yeah!" Kobu grits out. "Remember what the Dean said! You need to keep all fights between mechs! Mechs!!""Screw the Dean!" Kubo spits, eyes full of murder as she glares down Moka. "Bastard needs to get his ugly face knocked in!"And the bastard with an ugly face opens his mouth. "Grace Robinson. You are correct in that I'm searching for those who do not turn into quivering whelps at witnessing a simple display of strength. And, as the leader of Brando, I'm honor bound to repay any insults given to those under my banner. Even if they are useless wastes of air like that rabbit."He nods sharply towards the hand you still have clenched around whatever you threw at him. "So, I'm giving you two weeks to fix up that piddly mech of yours. And then you will be my opponent at Raijin University's freshman fair. Where I will take great pleasure in both avenging my club member, and showing to all present what exactly Raijin expects out of its future mech battlers.""…You're getting a bit ahead of yourself there, aren't you." You shoot back. "What I'm busy that day?""You won't be." Moka says, simply. "Because if you don't show up, then rest assured that I will personally ensure that every single mech your little friends at Rai ever build will meet the same fate as a certain rabbit's. As well as the mechs of any new members they bumble into recruiting.""Like hell you will!" Kubo hollers. "Because you won't be able to do anything but cry after I finish with you. In a mech fight, okay?!" She snaps at Nobu and Kobu, before twisting around to glare at you. "So Robinson! Don't you dare think of going along with him!""I agree with her." Isa murmurs to you. "Look. I appreciate what you did for Junker. But this guy is way above Yoichi's level. And knowing him, there has to be some sort of hidden trap to the fight if he's challenging you so openly. You shouldn't be dragged into dealing with something like that; let us handle him."
>>6447849>Well, if they both insist. Decline Moka's challenge and let Rai fight their own battles.>Sorry Isa, but Moka needs to pay for his sins. And no matter what, you will be the one to make him do so. Accept the challenge.>Write in

Gonna leave this open for another day (because I am falling asleep over my keyboard)
>Z remake let's goSorry Isa, Kubo. But this Moka needs to answer for his sins. And you're more than happy to be the one to make him do so."Well, I suppose I can the time" You start, shoot Moka your most disdainful expression. "But only because a pathetic little piggy right in front of me is simply begging me to make him squeal. I can't have people thinking I'm a fan of making animals suffer, you know?""What." Moka and Isa say at the exact same time, Moka far louder than Isa.But they're both drowned out by Kubo throwing her head back (nearly smacking Kobu in the nose) and letting out a wicked laugh. "Damn straight, Robinson," she says,flashing an utterly shit eating grin at Moka. "Rai's all for animal rights. Isn't that great, Moka?"A vein pulses in Moka's temple as he glares back her. "Why Takumi ever picked will forever elude me. Not only do you lack talent, but you're such a savage neanderthal of a bitch that you couldn't even hope to sleep with him to sway him." "Damn," Kubo shoots back, "You're still crying yourself to sleep over that?"But Moka ignores her in favor of turning his glare on you. "Two weeks." he grits out. "And then I expect that sorry mech of yours to be ready to put up an actual fight."Then he turns on his heel and storms out."Goodness," you drawl. "I was really was right about him being thinned skin, wasn't I? It's almost impressive, considering the mouth on him.""That's what a life of people just rolling over at the first wiff of your daddy's money does to a person." Kobu says. Then she shoots a look over at the people still holding her. "Which is why you guys should have let me teach him a lesson! He wouldn't be this bad if someone ever had the balls to punch him in the nose!"As Kubo club members quickly scuttle away, Isa comes over to you. "Robinson…" He starts. Then he falls silent. You can see him debate over saying something. Maybe about you jumping in when he told you not to?But then his eyes drop to your clenched fist. "Sorry I couldn't be more help. Here," he holds out a hand to you. "Let me throw that away for you.""What is it, anyway?" Kubo says, trotting over."Feels like a wad a paper." You say, unclenching your fist--to see you're only partially correct. It's a wad of paper, all right. But the most expensive kind of paper there is. Multiple notes of the highest denominator wrapped neatly in rubber band, which Moka had chucked at you like you were a damn stripper. "Holy shit." Kobu breathes."You-you think he threw the wrong thing…?" Nobu ventures."No." You shake your head, because you remember how he nodded at your hand, after. "You heard him go on about me fixing up my mech, right? This is all for Velt."
>>6448604But, still, this was way more than even the most expensive gift you'd gotten from a paramour. Trust Velt to get a sugar daddy before you did. Not that he didn't deserve it, of course, but you'd been in the game far longer than he had, okay?Isa's brow furrows. "I mean, I guess beating up a one armed mech won't be much of a show. But isn't this too much?""Dude, it's Moka." Kubo says. "Who's so damn spoiled this must look like the change you fish out from under the couch to him. Don't sweat the small stuff." Then she grins at you. "Hope you're prepared to spend every single penny, newbie.""Naturally." You nod. "My darling Velt deserves only the very best." And then you wave the cash at your new partners in crime. "But after today I think we deserve some pampering too. So, what's the best place to eat around these parts?""Yeah!" "You're the best!" Kobu and Nobu erupt, as the girl - Shizuka, you think it was, nods in approval."Oi, oi." Kubo says, hip checking you lightly. "Didn't I tell you not to steal my members?"Oh, yes. I heard that loud and clear." You say and then tilt your head, blinking ever so innocently back at her. "But you said nothing about spoiling them."She snorts. "Fine. No spoiling. Can't have them thinking you're cooler than me." And then she nods over at Isa, who's looking at the fierce fight erupting about the merits of sushi vs barbecue vs karaoke with no small amount of trepidation. "Also I don't wanna see Isa moping about being jealous." "H-hey!" Isa snaps, and the sight of his cheeks flushing has you mentally vow to spoil Kubo even more going forward. "What are you saying?"Kubo just smirks. "Hah! As if you don't know already." And then she turns to her bickering members as he splutters and you fight to keep the smile on your face innocent instead of smug. "Oi! You guys need to walk and talk!"The argument still hadn't been resolved by the time your group gets to the entrance of Raijin, the setting sun casting long shadows over the courtyard. But it peters to a complete halt at the figure that comes charging toward you."Hey! You! Robinson!" Yoichi cries. "Gimme back my money!"And then he banishes what he's cradling in his hands at you. A whole lot of tiny chunks of green plastic.…A green that you last saw on a certain Zaku. "Is this Gunline?" You breathe, starting forward to peer closer at the parts. Yes, there, you can see a white curve on one of the pieces that a few hours ago would have been the number 2. "Did Moka do this?""Yeah!" Yoichi says, though he doesn't meet the eye of you, or the rest of Rai who peer at the mess in his hands with varying sounds of shock. "I need to fix him up, so give me my money back already!"
>>6448605>>6448605But, really, the destruction Moka wrought is so thorough that the only way Yoichi is getting Gunline back was if he rebuilds him from the ground up.Which will cost way more than what you took from him, earlier. And Moka's dumped you more than enough for you to fix up Velt, so you technically didn't need Yoichi's money now. He probably doesn't know that, though.>Refuse, and leave Yoichi to stew in the taste of his own medicine.>Give Yoichi his money back and leave him to it. >Give Yoichi his money back, and add a little extra to it from what Moka gave you to make the total up to cover what you remember buying a Zaku new will cost. He can foot any modifications on his own. >Guy's an ass, alright, but between losing to you and now this, he's been humbled enough already. Give him enough to buy a new Zaku and extend to him an invitation to go out with you guys and vent about Moka.>Write in

Rolled 1 (1d2)Rolling for tiebreak. 1 = leave Yoichi, 2 = kidnap him
>>6449179"What did I tell you about minding your manners?" You sigh as you pull out your purse. "A "please" isn't going to kill you now, is it?"But Yoichi just ogles at the money you hold out to him like you've just presented him with one his mines, set to blow."You, you," he splutters. And then his eyes narrow. "I ain't gonna beg for it! Or-or wear any stupid maid outfit!""Well, lucky for you I wasn't going to ask for any of that." But then you look up to the sky in exaggerated thought, tapping a finger against your cheek. "But now that you've brought it up, the though you begging in maid outfit is just such a cute image. Maybe I should reconsider…"Yoichi's face turns a lovely shade of crimson. But he stays rooted to the spot, eyes darting over your shoulder to where Isa has stepped up behind you to act as a silent sentinel. He paints quite the intimidating picture, his arms crossed firmly over his chest and a scowl on his face.…And also a delicious one, because that pose causes the form hugging T-shirt he was down to after the water incident earlier pulls deliciously tight over biceps perfect for sinking one's teeth into.Yes, that impromptu shower was certainly part of the reason why you were letting Yoichi off so easy now. But the main reason was the sad sight cradled in his palms. Which was something that needed to be fixed right away, and so you shove the money further under Yoichi's nose. "But on second thought, even with you in a dress your Gunline is still far cuter than you. So run along to fix him up, okay? I expect to see those adorable little mines of his soon."For some unfathomable reason, your words make Yoichi's face turn even more sour. But he's quick to snatch the money out of your palm.As he scuttles off into the lengthening shadows, you call over your shoulder at the rest of Rai. "Now darlings, have you decided where we're going?"The answer was barbecue, a smug Shizuka tells you as Kobu and Nobu try and fail not to look too defeated. As you head off to the place she swears is the best around, you fall into step with Isa and Kubo. "So. What mech does Moka use, anyway?"Isa manages to look defeated than Kobu and Nobu were earlier, combined. "Isn't that something you should find out before accepting his challenge?" And then his eyesbrows furrow together in thought. "I think he used a mech from Valvrave in last year's exhibition match…""But he's definitely not going to be using that now." Kubo jumps in. "In all the time I've known him, bastard's never stuck to one model for longer than a few months. Isn't loyal to either real or super mechs either."
>>6449210Flitting between different mechs? You know it was pretty common among fighters, but the concept felt ever so alien to you. After all, the moment you laid eyes on Velt, you just knew he was always going to be your one and only. But, if that didn't apply to Moka… "Then what was he using in his recent battles?""Last year's exhibition match was his most recent battle." Isa says flatly. "After that he went abroad on a study exchange, which is why things have been pretty peaceful. Brando only started going crazy after he got back a few weeks ago, but he personally hasn't taken the field yet."And then he starts as Kubo says links arms with you both. "Which is why we should shelve this for now and just enjoy our food okay? We can figure out how we're figuring things out after. "And as your stomach rumbles as the tantalizing smell of grilled meat wafts through the air, you figure that's a pretty good idea. But eventually, the topic of Moka rears it's head in the form of:>Isa, who slides a choice piece of meat he's just grilled onto your plate before looking at you with a determined gaze.>Kobu, turning away from a TV spot about upcoming regionals and meets your eye, her face pensive.>Your phone lighting up with a text from someone who had gone rather quiet over the past few weeks.
>>6449211>>Isa, who slides a choice piece of meat he's just grilled onto your plate before looking at you with a determined gaze.
>>6449211>Isa, who slides a choice piece of meat he's just grilled onto your plate before looking at you with a determined gaze.
>>6449211 Isa slides into the seat next to you as you watch Shizuka square up with Kubo over the last slice of beef belly, "Here." He says, and then you're blinking down at the second to last slice of beef belly. Seasoned exactly how you did up your own serving, earlier. When you look back up at Isa, it's to see him giving you the same serious look that he levelled at you after you accepted Moka's challenge. "Robinson…" he says, just like that time. But unlike in the clubroom, he carries on looking you straight in the eye. "I really am sorry for being such a damn hypocrite. All that stuff I said about not letting you get involved in good conscious, and then I just stand back like an idiot and let you deal with Moka all on your own. I should have teamed up with Boss helper her to kick him out." He let's out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his hair. "No. I should have just booted him out the moment he got there, before he could go at either of you, instead of getting scared about what would happen if a scholarship kid got in a fight with the guy who's name is on half the buildings on campus."Only now do his eyes dart away, down to your untouched beef belly. And he carries on staring at it, studiously not meeting your gaze. "But, well. I know the beef is a better apology whatever I say to you, so…I hope you accept it."Was this what he really wanted to say to you, back in Rai's clubroom?For all his bulk, right now you can't help but think Isa looks rather small. As you take him in, you decide to:>Reject the apology. If Isa really wants to make it up to you, he needs to grow a pair and do better next time.>Noncommittally accept the apology so you can end this conversation and enjoy your beef in peace. Isa's easy on the eyes, sure, but you don't care enough about him to get invested in his obvious hangups.>Accept the apology and move on. Isn't Isa making a big deal out of nothing, here? He's probably right about Moka getting him into shit if he started anything. >Accept the apology, and then make a serious attempt to break Isa out of this funk he's gotten himself into. Why is the guy talking as if he's not done a single good thing this entire day?>Write in
>>6450025>Reject the apology. If Isa really wants to make it up to you, he needs to grow a pair and do better next time.

>>6450025>>Accept the apology, and then make a serious attempt to break Isa out of this funk he's gotten himself into. Why is the guy talking as if he's not done a single good thing this entire day?
>>6450025You treat Isa to your sunniest smile. "Of course I accept, darling~"But though you all but purr the "darling", you're not treated to the now familiar sight of Isa flustering so sweetly. Instead, he barely even blinks. Looking at him, you were sure he didn't hear you at all. His gaze was still on your apology beef, but those eyes of his were a million miles away. And that wouldn't do at all. Because Isa was a big help today, and you refuse to let that jackass Moka blind him to that fact.So, first things first. You needed to get Isa's attention off Moka, and firmly back onto you.And you knew just what would do the trick. "My my, Isa. Don't you know it's rude to ignore a lady?" Isa nearly jumps right out of the booth as you wrap both of your arms firmly around his.Goodness, you thought that by now he would have developed some resistance to the feel of your special weapons pressed up against him. But no, here he is, blushing just like it's his first time. How adorable."O-oi, Robinson," Isa manages to stutter as his eyes dart frantically around the booth.But he'd find no backup there. After all, both Nobu and Kobu too busy trying to stop the battle of the beef belly from ending in your group been thrown out. "And you're not only ignoring me, but also the lovely time we had together on the battlefield?" You sigh dramatically, putting your whole chest into the inhale, and fight to keep the fake pout you've put on from morphing into a smile at how his attention suddenly snaps back to you. Honestly if the two of you were anywhere else you'd be risking him running out on you like he had earlier, but with the wall of the booth on one side and you on the other, he was well and truly trapped. "Really, I'm a bit hurt.""Sorry." Isa hurries out immediately (while his eyes fight not to linger too much on where you're both pressed together. You get it, you really do. The tube top and the way his arm squishes them together are making your tits look fantastic). "I was, I mean. I didn't mean to ignore you. And, I remember exactly how you kicked my ass in that fight.""Do you really now?" And then you let go and back off, pinning him with a serious look. "Because I'm hearing nothing about how you helped me to take out Gunline's thrusters, darling. Your stellar show on the field gave me enough practise with Velt's afterimages that I was able to get the drop on Yoichi." You wag a stern finger in his direction. "So I won't have you carrying on as if you were completely useless the whole day, you hear?"
>>6450888Isa just looks at you for a long moment. Before his mouth quirks up into a small smile. "…Sure. I hear. Thanks, Robinson." But then that smile turns wry. "Though, I didn't do that much. Someone like you would have gotten that move down no matter who you went up against."No way, not this again!But the counter arguments on the tip of your tongue fizzle out as Isa's expression suddenly turns the most determined you'd ever seen him. "But you're right that I'm moping around too much. And that's no use to anyone." His back straightens, as his hands clench into fists under the table. "So next time, I'm going to do more. When Moka comes for you again, he'll have to go through me first. And I'll make sure that I'll put up a show that no one can find anything to mope about."And you…>Tell Isa that just this once, you'll be happy to step aside and let him give Moka what for. >Tell Isa that you'll be counting on him to have your back out there. >Assure Isa that it'll be both of you that Moka has to go through, because you'll be right there alongside him every step of the way.>Write in
>>6450889>>Tell Isa that you'll be counting on him to have your back out there.

Gonna leave this open for a little more, but also because of real life being a little bitch updates are gonna be more like every 2-3 days going forward.
>>6450889"Well, now that's more like it!" You say. "But, darling, if you would let me make one small correction…"And you neatly divide your beef belly into two, sliding one half onto Isa's empty plate. "You're not going to be putting on a show all by yourself out there, alright? I'll be right there with you every step of the way. With the two of us working together, that asshole won't know what hit him."Again you flash him your sunniest smile. This time, Isa smiles back. Not as bright as yours, but far better than what he's managed to summon up before. "…Yeah. We'll make him ever regret messing with us." Then his eyes skitter away from you, as he plops his half of the beef into his mouth.To stop your smile from morphing into something far more mischievous, you help yourself to your own piece. It tastes far more delicious than everything you've enjoyed this night, combined. But the bubble of peace is abruptly popped by someone bumping against the table hard enough to make your dishes clatter.Isa swallows, then sighs. "Seriously. Why do they have to get like this every time…" He gets up from the table, waving you off when you try to follow after him. But before he heads off, he mutters a soft, "Thanks, Robinson."And before you can say anything back, he's wading right into the fray. One of his lovely muscular arms effortlessly keeps the girls separated, the while the other neatly divides the coveted beef belly into two, no, four pieces.And you're more than happy to sit back and let him field the combined forces of Kubo and Shizuka, as they turn on him demanding to know why exactly Nobu and Kobu get to have a slice.>Bonus to Isa's rolls when fighting alongside Grace!The next evening finds yourself the basement of a run down shopping arcade, staring at a boarded up shopfront. The type of abandoned place which all but begged people to walk past without giving it a second glance.You had done that, earlier. And then again, as you searched the shopping street for your quarry. It was only on your third pass through the sticky note pasted in the corner of the door's window caught finally caught your eye. On it, was a logo that looked very similar to the one that Yuuki had drawn out on a napkin while the two of you were getting your first and last after work coffee together. You step closer to the glass, peering down at it. No, it wasn't similar. It was the exact same. Two mech pistols crossed over each other.The logo of Hobby Shop: Gun Battle.
>>6452010"Trust me," Yuuki had said, nodding down to Velt's box sitting between your steaming mugs, "this is the only place you'll ever need to keep him in tip top condition."It's a super exclusive place which is only known to those in the know, Nobu had posted in the group chat yesterday, after you demanded to know why Rai was carrying on like you'd just shared the location to where the pot of gold was hidden at the end of the rainbow instead of a potential place to talk strategy away from the prying eyes of Moka. A vault of riches beyond your wildest imagination!!! Kobu had added.…But it looks like its prestige was not enough to defeat the jaws of capitalism. The place had clearly closed up shop in the months since Yuuki had told you where to find it. Pity. From how Yuuki talked it up and how excited Rai was to visit it, it really sounded like it was something special. You were kind of looking forward to seeing it.You lift up your phone to snap a picture of the place, figuring that this was the easier way of breaking the bad news. Only for the door to swing open the moment your press the shutter. "Hey!" Someone cries. And for the second time in two days you find yourself crashing into a man. Only this one was barrelling out the door far quicker than Isa was moving in the crowd yesterday.You yelp as your feet fly out from under you.But you fall stops before it can really begin as arm wraps around your lower back. Less bulkier than Isa, but still corded with muscle that you can feel flexing under his sweater as your assailant bundles you into a clumsy version of a dancer's dip. You find yourself looking into a pair of brilliant blue eyes.Which narrow in distinct annoyance, even as their owner hauls you upright easily, like you weigh nothing at all. "Hey! If you wanna go in, then go in!" He snaps. "Don't just stand around in front of doors!">Your narrow your eyes right back at him. "And how about you don't just go flying out of places like a bat out of hell, hmm?" >"But," you glance at the still boarded up shopfront, "Isn't this place closed?">A slow smile spreads over your face as you take in him. "You know, I think I'll start standing around them more often. I'm quite a fan of falling into the arms of handsome men.">Write in
