Conversing with Larama is beyond your ability. You cannot skirt the rules in this way. (but don't worry. it'll become clear)

You last remember using it when at your JOB, and then after you were done your JOB. You always put it back in your pocket so as not to lose it, so you cant understand where it might be this time?

You have 30 minutes left.

Do you need to leave now to get to your job or do you have time for breakfast?

QUEST: DEFEAT AMAZON QUAZAR

Before battle, offer to shake hands with the Amazon Quazar as a show of good sportsmanship (unless she is evil and/or this is a battle to the death)

Now call out your challenge to her in that overdramatic fashion the crowd always eats up,

WHY.
*sigh* Okay.

You seriously need to improve your stats. Focus on taking side-missions that have stat-boost item rewards.

>>622224

WELCOME TO TODAY'S MATCHUP

REPRESENTING EARTH - the two hundredth and fifteenth Authorty World, fighting to remain in class C - Stellar Maiden Ellandra!
REPRESENTING FIRUM - the newest world in the Crimson Authority, who has raised through the class E and D classes undefeated, fighting to enter class C.. AMAZON QUAZAR!

Ready!
Set!
MAGIC!

Alright, ready your weapon, charge your magic, and use a power attack to counter whatever she throws at you as an opening move.

Then focus on using physical attacks to switch it up. She seems agile, so focus on grappling her.

Remember to be fair and honorable, even if it costs you the match - there is an entire crowd here, and they did not pay (??? - What DO they pay you, anyway?) to watch you throw your opponent to the ground with a cheap trick and stomp on her spine until it breaks. You're here to put on a show

AND EVERYONE IS WATCHING.

... Can we get an audience HUD, please? Remember, these fights are for the fans, so we need to make sure our strategy optimizes the pay grade Larama gets for a flashy, spiced-up fight.

For now, it looks like Amazon Quazar has shown to the audience that she has better ranged magic than you. Either spice it up with saboteur magicks (debuff your opponent) or just start grappling.

You may not know anything solid about your opponent, but the fact that names have power in media implies that Amazon Quazar really is a melee-oriented fighter. Focus on grapple and feint attacks.

Well, have we actually confirmed how she gets paid? Perhaps it really is just for victory, and the audience is just an extra, or something. Any clarification in either direction, webrunner?

Snag her leg with a bind and drag her down with you. A good yank should break your fall.

>>622430
She is not "paid" per say. Her family is granted more favor and rations and such if she is a) winning and b) in a higher class. it's said that people in B rank start getting granted luxuries.
However, whether she is given favorable matches and opportunities to raise her class is based on a general sense of popularity.

look on the bright side
you are no longer falling

Bite through your bindings and spit stardust at your opponent!

Or just spin like crazy. Time it right so that the bindings become your whip-weapons.

Free yourself of the bindings and form them into a shield to protect yourself from the super attack your opponent is probably getting ready to unleash while you're trapped.

Mother said there would be days like this.

You can undo your own magic, right? You could use some stable footing right now.

Okay we botched this, BUT, can we work this to our advantage?
One of several ideas come to mind-one, wait for her to start charging, then release self and dodge.
two, utilize bind-magic for jury-rigged flight, and release self when close, if possible using stars to attack simultaniously with your own strike.

>>622553
I think I've seen this anime before. You might want to get out of that before things get, uh, sticky.

We could act helpless, wait for her to get close and mock us...and then either headbutt her, or break free and kick her ass...Just an idea,

It's OK, you can turn this around. Use your strongs to burst your bonds, firing star shrapnel all over the place. Hopefully Quazar will get a faceful.

Quazar, however, can resist.

The sting raises your self control to 6

LARAMA. FOCUS.

You won. Even if your opponent pulls something, you just put on one hell of a show for your audience. You'll probably get paid a bonus, or even get a chance at increasing your rank.

Don't screw it up by killing her. She fought fairly, and these public matches aren't to the death. You don't have to show good sportsmanship but PLEASE DO NOT KILL WHILE YOU ARE VIEWED ON LIVE TELEVISION. There are likely children watching this.

Apologize about letting your emotions get the best of you. Wait for her to battle.

Then dodge her next couple shots.

>>622948
Well, I mean, unless that's a thing that regularly happens. But I don't think we really want to do that, anyway.

Grin cheekily. You caught her off guard- maybe you can egg her into being reckless.

Roll 20 + charm (3) critical hit

You apologize profusely about what happened, you do not know what came over you.

She tells you not to worry about it and that to succumb to the Battle Lust is all too common, but she does suggest perhaps practicing to keep it under control, and perhaps booking regular visits at a mating parlour. She knows of a good one in her sector if you are ever in the area.

You blush and indicate maybe we should get back to the fight. She agrees, smiling.

It looks like you may have made a friend of sorts. Not the worst outcome of randomly sticking your tongue down an alien's throat unbidden.

Okay, no need to panic, you just had a wardrobe malfunction. Conjure up some clothing, or wrap yourself in Star Binder. Hopefully, the broadcasters cut to commercial or a test screen or something.

BTW what should we call the people recording your fight?

Well at least you have your crown...

Folks, this has been a roller coaster of a match, one way or another it's one for the history orbs!

Great! Now use your magic to conjure up your very own cheesy anime theme song!

Alright, wait for Quazar to attack, but try dodging and blocking this time. Gauge the attack combo and find an appropriate opening counter.

YOUR SPIT IS AN APHRODISIAC!!!

Okay, that should be enough. You made friends with her so overkill is NOT a profitable option. Pick her up and declare the win, go home, get paid.

Say, what do you call your bosses in the Crimson Authority, anyway? How does the power structure work within the organization, and where do you stand?

What do you normally do after a fight?

>>623318

You normally just debrief and go home, but you feel way better about today then you have in other times.

Base locations include:
PORTALIZER ROOM, where you are now
COMMAND CENTER, where the fighters are monitored and such,
BARRACKS, with private bunks and net connections. They aren't used often as people generally just port home unless they're pulling an all night training session or whatever.
TRAINING ROOM, which you usually skip
PREP ROOM, where you go to transform and stretch, etc, pre-fight.

Alternatively, you can just debrief and go home. You should get home within a few hours, so you don't miss dinner.

(also can I just say you guys hit crit fails and crit successes at the best times. i am actually rolling each check using http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm since my dice are still packed)

Check command center. Did that blue person in the distance show up in any of the feeds?

Do some cardio before you go home, preferably sprints.
Dedicated cardio time is important and mobility is good for spacing. (Falling back or closing in)

I also hear that stretching is a good idea after exercising.

Call command center and apologize for the wardrobe malfunction. Then request that they add pixels. Lots and lots of pretty, pretty pixels.

Any more matches, or are there enough magical girls in the galaxy to satiate trillions of viewers for a week? If you're free, you may want to do some self improvement; that last battle was close, and D-rank seems to be improving in quality.

You and her have a long history, from before the Crimson Hierarchy. Starting off as enemies, and then rivals, eventually begrudging teammates, steadfast allies, and eventually BEST FRIENDS FOREVER through a series of escalating invasions and dangers. In fact, once, after one particularly harrowing battle, the two of you tried to have sex. Both of you decided immediately to NEVER SPEAK OF IT AGAIN.

SUPERNA, the remaining member of the team, is preparing for a match and is therefore in the PREP ROOM and NOT TO BE DISTURBED.

In the mean-time, let's update the FRIEND GRID
XI RIXIS is yours, SHI's, and KUKLA's AGENT-MANAGER
SHI is your BEST FRIEND FOREVER even if she is not particularly FRIENDLY
KULKA is a CO-WORKER

Can you move XR's node so that the edges don't cross?

Well, just give your report, get your next assignment, and do something fun for the rest of the day.

Things to put on your report:
1. Blue Guy
2. Wardrobe Malfunction was an accident
3. Need Upgrades
4. Request for Sidequests
5. Time left until next assignment

Improve relations with Kulka, talk to her a little bit or something.

Check in with Fukushu. Gotta say hi to a best friend forever.

You approach her, unsure of how to begin a conversation, but fortunately she breaks the ice (as it were).

"Victory, commendable Form needs workink. Usink of misdirection? Good.
I would not have usink that particular strategy however. It is beink unseemly."

You laugh nervously.

Admit you were using a less than optimal situation as best you could for an advantage. You wouldn't have set out to use that gambit.

Thank her for her insight, follow up by asking how she is doing.

What exactly is this authority/ hierarchy thing?

Say yeah, that was close.

Roll 20 (seriously!? fuck you guys) + cha (3) vs VERY HARD (20)= CRITICAL SUCCESS

You tell her in your most diplomatic way that you assessed the situation and were attempting to secure victory by the most ready means, but you will take the advisement for how such thing is seen to heart in the future.

"Of course! We have all beink in your place, with nowhere else to be goink." She nods. "None of us would here beink if not for that..."

You then ask her how she has been.

"I.. you have not askink me that in some time, comrade Larama. I am.. not unwell. Thankink you."

You detect the very beginning of the edge of a mini-smile on her face. This is the most emotion you have ever seen her show.

"Hey Andi."
"Hello Larama."
Andi is short for Antoinette, her real name. She wields a sword but almost never removes it from the scabbard. It was her father's, and she swore never to unsheathe it until she avenged him. Then she DID avenge him and swore only to unsheathe it in times of dire necessity. Something about demons or something you never really understood.

"What's the good word?"
"There has been quite a commotion over your activities. Mostly positive, although I must reiterate that I should never take you anywhere."
"Hey you never took me here."
"IF you remember, I am the one who stepped forward first?"
"Yea but if I didn't I'd probably be dead. I wouldn't be able to go back to a normal life..."

She not-smirks. "I do not think a life you could live would be normal no matter how you tried."

You chuckle.

Xi was assigned to your team by the Crimson Hierarchy, the leaders of the Crimson Authority. He's some kind of fish? snake? thing. You think?

"Oh hiyaaa-deee thereee Ellandraaa! Just smoothing someee things out with theee higher ups. Lots of great feedback, they loved your performanceee.. somee.. trepidation over theee wholeee.. nudity thing, not every planet likes tooo seee squishy nips, but don't worry! don't worry! Youuu covered up quick, that's worth aaa lot of points!"

You try to explain it was an accident.

"Accidents don't play well on cameraaa, Ellandraa. Between youu and theee viewers, it was on purposee, okay?"

You try to get a word in asking about your next fight:

"Ah.. you'reee scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Sooo havee somee fun beforeee then."

You ask if there's any other jobs you can do.

"There's a spaceee station opening this weekend if you'reee interested in aaa littleeee public appearanceee?"

You ask about upgrading your magic somehow, to rank up.

"Youuu know that's against theee rules. But Iii can seeee what Iii can dooo."

Finally you ask about the last moments of the fight, the person you saw.

"Don't recall anything likee that on theee feed, and our feed hereee is direct! I'll check for yaa, though."

>Don't recall anything likee that on theee feed, and our feed hereee is direct! I'll check for yaa, though.
Well, if it did get caught on camera, it would have been in the background, with lots of flashy magic and nudity in the foreground, so it probably would have been easy to miss live.

Thanks for the help.

>next fight: tomorrow
Geeze, magical gladiatorial fights daily? That's a rough schedule.

>"Hey you never took me here."
I thought the two of you agreed never to speak of that!

So the fight earlier was kinda rough, it might be a good idea to do a bit of training before the next match.

Alright, talk to your colleagues about tips on practicing. They might know fine-tuned workouts that improve stat growth.

For now, focus on improving your speed, precision, and intellect; try scattering various firearms around the simulation chamber, and then practice "scavenging" these weapons while in combat against ranged, agile enemies. You'll have to move quick but gracefully, recall how to use each weapon and analyze when to grab one, and aim in a matter of seconds.

>>623466
The only weapons involved in these fights seem to be the ones the combatants enter with, and if we gain possession of their weapon we have pretty much already won. Trying a variety of attack types in general might be good though, to be less predictable.

>>623465
Like I said, Cardio.

FYI, you can spend an hour training to gain a skill point (to use later during level up). It will only be applicable to the physical stats, STRENGTH, PRECISION, and SPEED.

You can also spend an hour studying on the computer (either here or at home) to raise your INTELLECT.

MAGIC, CHARM, and INTIMIDATE can be raised through normal skill points only (which I'll tally at the end of the day), but can also be given bonuses easier (such as your current attitude, or through the use of extralegal magical enhancements)

You dont always have two fights back to back like this, but at least you will have the morning to yourself.

It's about FOUR HOURS until you have to be seated at the dinner table if you want to keep your family happy.

Also, while transformed you don't get tired or winded, and you are protected from minor injuries such as scrapes and bruises. You actually end up feeling more run down from days off then days on, it's just tough going and getting blasted in the face still HURTS even if it doesn't leave a mark.

And to curtail the inevitable question: since the Crimsons took over they prevent the Devices from being used outside of the barracks and the battlefields. And even if not, your family MAY get a bit suspicious of your identity if you wear it around the house.

Don't have time to draw right now but just to ask, consensus is to a) do some phys training (how long?) and then b) leave, correct? or did you want to continue the conversation with anyone first?

Ask your coworkers if they want to hit the gym with you? It's better with buddies.

>>623481
Agree, 2 hours Cardio for Speed points and 1 hour Lifting for a Strength point!

Two hours of target practice (precision) and two hours of cardio (speed). Is there a run-and-gun course you could practice on?

>>623479
Wait, so even though our job is to literally preform on interstellar television, we still have to keep it a secret at home?

...what lie have we been telling them about what we do for work?

>what do
Do we want to train charm or intellect? Those are our lowest skills, and we made a lot of charm checks today.

>>623496
Larama should be able to study at her house, but right now the gym facilities are available.

As for charm and intimidate, maybe she could find someone in the future to practice with?

>>623485
I agree with this plan.

You ask your allies if they would like to hit the gym. The Russian girl polite declines. Apparently she has a very strict training regimen which she has already completed today, and any extra training would mess that up? Whatever.

your BESTIE agrees, however, and you take turns spotting each other. She spends her off times mostly yelling in your face to motivate you, in between conversations.

"You're looking better out there."
"Yeah, a million ogling eyes probably agree."
"Not that. I mean you used to rely on your signature moves, one at a time. You're getting better at comboing, thinking on the fly."
"Thanks. Means a lot coming from you."
"That's not to say that you're GOOD yet. But you're better."

You grin at her and continue training.

After three hours you've worked out a lot of your frustrations, (Self control becomes 15) and it feels great just talking to your BFF again. It's almost like how things used to be, before.

You have about an hour before dinner, but you might be able to squeeze in a bit more exercise and BFF time.

Self Control roll 1-15 = -14

You feel maybe you should get home. You don't want to be late for dinner again. "They held me late at work" only works so many times.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

Holy shit, she is _ripped_

I can see why you decided to try and have sex with her.

Anyway, head home. You can always come back tomorrow.

Head home for now also you did good today, give yourself a pat on the back.

You return to the MIXTEL RESIDENCE, LARAMA'S ROOM

It is 45 minutes until you have to be DOWNSTAIRS FOR DINNER

Today has been a PRETTY GOOD DAY, and even though you can feel the temporary withdrawal from the magical power you possessed you don't feel your usual pangs of depression.

You don't have time right now to get any real studying done, but you have time to use your computer to contact somebody you know. Alternatively, you can see how your family is doing, or just chill out for a bit.

Strength: 2
Precision: 2
Intellect: 3
Charm: 2
Intimidate: 2
Speed: 2
Magic: 0
Self-Control: 15

See how the family is doing. Might be nice to be home early and in a good mood for once.

Maybe send what's-her-bucket, from the battle today, send her an email or something, and then go chill with your family.

Speak to the brother, do big sister things.

Hang with family. You don't spend a whole lot of time with them.

I think chilling before dinner is the proper choice.

"I've barely seen you in months except when you shovel dinner in your mouth and go back to your room. When you don't miss dinner."


Talking to your family feels.. weird. Like you're from different universes. Even before the invasion.

Oden shows you this iHolo game that's all the rage nowadays- this collectable game where you have puzzle pieces that represent monster-girl hybrids. It's pretty fun, although you do ask him why it seems so.. vaugely sexual. He says wait until you see the elf in bondage.

It all seems a bit inappropriate but whatever. You play a few games to try to get the hang of it

Roll 3 + 3 (int) vs DC 5 (very easy) SUCCESS vs DC 10 (EASY) failure

Your mom looks even more worried.
"Wait.. your job has weird hours? Lots of bonuses.. are.. are you doing.. sex things?"
"What!? No!"
"You'd tell us if you were doing anything dangerous, right?"

Your hand grips your Device in your pocket. It's not dangerous, mom, I'm magically protected when aliens beat me up and shoot me with arrows. You tell yourself that's why you don't tell them: you don't want them to worry. You know, though, the reasons are more selfish: you feel guilty, and you don't want to have the "why didn't you tell us" conversation. You're scared of what they're going to say.

"O.. of course. My boss just likes me that's all."
Your dad looks at you. "You're not doing that stuff with your boss, are you?"

this wasn't what you expected


this wasn't what you expected at all

Well...

This is awkward.

Apparently your entire family lusts after your magical girl form.

Yay for magical girl disguise?

WELLL SO MUCH FOR NICE THINGS. Ssshould we be offended? or something?

How do they even know that their ...whatever they were doing.... involved your, uh, intellectual property? It could have been another fight clubber! right? There must be quite a few!

...What are the two things people think about when they think magical girls? Transformation sequences and their outfits, but you are more than a magical girl you are also an idol. There are also two things people do with idols; trash them or romanticize them both cases came be "interesting". Now I may be wrong but you might want to say you were joking, you can't prove your a magical girl the device doesn't work outside the arena. So tell them you were kidding and you just got this badge as a prank.
