No. 622382 ID: d3be40

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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

With about 10 minutes before dinner you decide to give it a rest and muss up his hair.
"C'mon, bro! You have to eat your protien mush and vita-logs so your hair can grow up big and strong!"
"Laaarraaammaaaaa..."

You and your brother head down a bit early for dinner.

You greet your parents warmly: "Hi Mom! Hi Dad!"

They look like they've seen a three-headed ghost.

"Larama.. you're... with your brother?", Your mom, Fiona Mitxel seems as surprised as your brother was. Surely you haven't been THIS anti-social at home?
"And you said hi.. and you seem happy!?", and that's your father, Breaker Mitxel

"What happened, dear!? Oh! oh no! Are you dying!?"
"No mom. Why does everyone think someone is dying!?"
"Did you lose your job? Is that why you're home early?"
"No dad, Actually they gave me another Luxury Credit bonus so we don't have to eat rations tomorrow night if you don't want."
"I've never heard of a food packer getting so many bonuses before."

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?"
"No! Can't I just be good at my job."

They both just stare at you before your mom speaks. "Y.. yes. Sorry, Larama. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, have a seat."

Your dad looks at you ".. Larama, this isn't just about the Authority. You've been avoiding us for at least a year before that."
"Your father's right. We thought it was just you being.. you, but... whatever, at least you're talking to us now." she sighs, but seems a little less worried.

"Larama.. this is some big news. I think.. i think we need to process this. Just tell us... are you safe? Is everything alright?"

You explain that the magic protects you and yadda yadda yadda. It's actually not very dangerous for a combat competition, even if it stings like fuck.

Your dad looks thoughtful "I can't believe we didn't notice. I mean.. you look just like her.. you?"

You also explain you're not completely sure how it works but there's some kind of charm as part of the transformation. You look the same with the same features, but nobody who knows you recognizes you unless they already know.

Whatever Ellandra stood for, whatever she represented, died a long time ago. You're just putting on the empty mask of an avatar you once created. You can't save galactic freedom anymore.

But you can save galactic sanity.

Something is worming its way through the Crimson Authority's networks and plots. Just today, you caught a glimpse of a loose end of a conspiracy that could span entire star systems. Could be nothing, could be a hallucination.

But if there is a conspiracy out there, then it's your job to deal with it. They might help loosen the Authority's grip, or they could be planning a hostile and violent takeover.

You wonder if you should find SOME way to talk to her about this, she seems eager to help and she does have a younger brother as well. Obviously though the situations are not comparable.

After thanking her you also ask about the mysterious blue person. She says that she went over the tapes with Xi before.. but she'll check if there's any way inside the shield and any sort of selective cloaking.

Kith explains that Firuians have always been a competitive species, including the methods of reproduction. Two interested parties face each other, and the feeling of superiority inherent in winning triggers a biological process, readying a clutch of eggs. Meanwhile, the loser becomes naturally subservient, and their egg receptor is primed to fertilize and carry. In fact- until the eggs are hatched they're basically happy slaves. She specifies that they CAN act against their Victor, they just ... don't want to.

This is why her species experiences battle lust, and why she assumed you did as well. She also mentions it's dangerous for a victorious Firuian not to deposit her eggs somewhere as it can cause biological conditions such as internal chafing.

You ask what this means about all the other people she's defeated.

She laughs and states that she understands that not every species acts this way (although she assumed it was cultural and not biological), and has made plenty of use of mating centers and personal egg sack toys. You comment she seems surprisingly forthright with some of this information. She says it would be wrong to not answer your questions.

As she explains the Firuian mating cycle, you can't help but imagine yourself in these situations. You question yourself: why is THIS turning you on? And hold on a second.. didn't you defeat her?

>This is why her species experiences battle lust, and why she assumed you did as well.
Hopefully she doesn't notice that means she doesn't have an explanation as to why you kissed her, before.

Apparently alien chicks, confrontation and unconventional biology work for you? (Dom or be dommed!).

You tell Firth that humans really are this squishy and don't have scales, micro or not. She seems surprised and gives you a look and wonders aloud what that must feel like, skin to scale. Kith seems a bit more flustered at that comment.
"L-Larama. Victor.. p-please do not humor her."

>You might be able to reclaim some of that in control victor cred if you looked sly while musing over her weakness to human puzzles, hmm?
You bring up the puzzle game and that you've heard of it, and try to make a comment about bringing Kith 'back in line' if need-be causing Firth to laugh. She elbows Kith and tells her to be careful you might be a slave for life if that keeps up. She says something under her breath that you can't hear and causes Firth to grin mercilessly. You're actually kind of enjoying someone else being flustered because of you for once.

The Azure Witch.. they say she found a way to break the Crimson Authority's control on the devices. A one-woman rebellion. They say they eventually sent an entire space armada against her, and she took them all out, but died in the process.

Nobody really believes the stories, though. It's most likely her species had some kind of magic-like powers and everything just got blown out of proportion.

Still, the fact she might have existed brings hope to a lot of us that someday we can fight back. Hopefully more successfully, though.

Maybe she's looking for recruits? Or an apprentice?

It's not as if lots of cultures don't exploit people by watching them compete in a public manner. (From ancient gladiators to reality tv!).

And if you were running a modern gladiatorial thing, and you didn't want people killing each other left and right, it makes sense to have a built in disincentive like the death leagues. (You're gonna kill people? Fine, you're demoted to where people will kill you back). Plus, you get to reap more entrainment dollars from it instead of the costs of prosecution or imprisonment.

And it accommodates species / cultures that might be more tolerant or expectant of things ending in death (problem of being a big conquering alien empire- you need to accommodate a lot of variety).

It's too easy to forget that your life is unusually good for a citizen of the Authority. Your family gets a large amount of Luxury Credit and extra rations, but even then both your parents have to Toil. The amount that would bring in for a normal family is a pittance.

No. 625094 ID: d3be40

Revolutions usually end in tragic bloodshed because it's not really clear what most people fight for, and the reasons blur and corrupt until all that is left is the warlords on top and ready to do as they please. At that point, the best-case scenario is an overlord who takes ruling a nation as a serious challenge.

I would suggest that you find the network that runs the entire Crimson Authority and rip the [[Censored Rant]] out of anything that makes your people suffer. If Azure Witch II's plan is to hack into the system and purge most of its corruption, then you ought to support that. If she just plans on a revolution, take part but be ready to screw her over the moment she betrays your trust.

Whatever you decide, be sure to make rational decisions and analyze everything you come into contact with. We're talking about an entire galaxy, so show some respect by maximizing your abilities.

Honestly I think it'd be best for you to hang back until you see which side is pulling ahead or if you see a good opportunity to help with the rebellion.

More specifically, they didn't have you and every magical girl you could recruit if you were able to pump the witch's ghost for how she managed to hack the devices.

She apparently did things in the stupidest way possible, fighting the entire Authority on her lonesome rather than joining up with allies. If her entire species had magic, then there'd be an entire planet full of Blue Witches that would have already overthrown the Authority by now; since that hasn't happened the more rational explanation is that she managed to hack her device, then completely neglected to teach anyone how to do it or hack anyone else's devices to create an army of magical girls.

You think you're not going to get anywhere with B3 unless you're completely forthright but you're afraid that she's just going to say something like it being a "sisterly duty to help him get it out of his system by ushering him into adulthood" given her unusually progressive opinions and the sort of things she reads.

Instead you tell her maybe you'll just sleep on it and it'll make more sense in the morning.

She feels a little let down by that but trusts you completely. Come to think of it she always has..

It is getting late. You can sleep in a bit tomorrow though, so if you want to do stuff like studying now you can, but you may be less distracted if you get up earlier tomorrow.

Magic is one of the few skills you can't use in a diminished form out of combat, but in-combat has a much greater potential than the other skills in what you can do. Also, increasing your magic will increase your base abilities (such as letting you fly, deflect shots, etc). At even numbers you will gain a magical perk.

... Will Larama get the ability to increase her magic stat? Or is there a quest to find the source of magic and scientifically analyze the hell out of it?

2 points in precision
2 points in speed
7 points in intellect
3 points in charm
2 points in intimidate

Gussy your intellect upon meeting a witch...

But seriously, prepare yourself for betrayal, paranoia, and the sheer ruthlessness of an encompassing empire. With SCIENCE!

you can increase your magic stat using regular points, (the ones that arent phys or ment)

I guess I'll vote for a point in intellect.

First of all, since REG points apparently work as well as PHYS or MENT points at the relevant stats while also being more versatile, PHYS and MENT points should be used before REG points where applicable to allow for more flexibility when assigning later points (unless I guess you so distrust the other commenters you want to cut options off from them).

A review of what our stats have done so far:
Strength: 2 (6) [PHYS]: Melee physical attacks.
Precision: 2 (5) [PHYS]: Um, we had an option to use it or speed to back-flip once? Maybe it has been our combat style or having only magic and bludgeoning attacks, but we haven't really used Prec much.
Intellect: 3 (3) [MENT]: Finding things, learning rules, explaining things.
Charm: 2 (3) [MENT]: Friendship, social stuff and crowd pleasing.
Intimidate: 2 (4) [MENT]: Other social stuff and crowd pleasing.
Speed: 2 (5) [PHYS]: Reflexive defense, grapple escape and movement. Used quite frequently in battle so far due to functioning sort of like armor class.
Magic: 0 (5) : Ranged attack, movement, utility and prepared defense. Would likely be a straight upgrade vs Str if it weren't for how our magic is not always active and can be disabled.
Self Control: Avoid temptation to do rash decisions or not do emotionally hard actions (also I suspect bad things would probably happen if it drops to 0)

I am going to put 1 PHYS in Speed, since passive def is good to have and speed will also be useful to close in on enemies if we continue with our current brawler mage fighting style.

As a side note, 16 total stat points at a 1:1 buy rate is pretty high relative to our current stats (31 total points excluding self control, 41 including), so in meta terms I see this going one of two ways: First case, we gain less points on subsequent levels (with the first day functioning kind of like a tutorial before we choose our core build). Second case, we continue growing in power at an alarming rate compared to our initial levels (perhaps due to space ghost witchery), setting us on a path of Gurren-Lagann-like escalation. (If the second case is true and it is just us gaining power, we might want to start concealing the extent our growth until from the Authority until we have snowballed enough to take them on.)
Since we will have more ability to readjust in the second case, we should plan for the first case where we will have significantly less stat growth in subsequent levels.

...Theorycrafting is fun.

We were a magical girl before the invasion, so that would have included normal magical girl things like fighting supervillains, evil spirits, and/or giant monsters, right? Maybe we saved her hometown when she was a kid.

OK, seeing it's one stat point allocation per suggester, I'll nudge one of those REG points into MAGIC because delicious even number perks.

(6 REG points left, I think)

Mental to Intimidate. Have more confidence, girl.

No. 625271 ID: d958ad

One Regular point into Magic, if the base stat needs to be even. If it's the boosted stat that's used for perks then we've already got the first perk.
>>
No. 625281 ID: 5d2f8c

Gonna go with 1 Phys to speed.

So 2 ment left,
Depending on which these are
>>625252
>>625256
and 2 more phys
and 5 more reg depending on the charm and int upgrade type.

No. 625291 ID: 82efdc

Okay, that's twelve hours.

I'm going to put another mental point in charm.

That brings the totals so far to:
(Not counting the two posts that didn't specify points used)

4 - 2 = 2 PHYS
5 - 4 = 1 MENT
7 - 2 = 5 REGULAR

+2 charm
+1 intelligence
+2 speed
+2 magic
+1 intimidate

No. 625292 ID: 8fb9fe

1 reg point into Magic.

No. 625306 ID: b60554

Assuming that we are going to get into the whole rebellion thing at some point, I'll dedicate another
+1 Ment to Intellect
Seeing as it's our one stat not boosted by magic and we're probably going to need it to hack our device.

+1 to speed.

No. 625315 ID: 256d52

Whee, 12 hours. Strength is one of Larama's best stats so +1 STR for one PHYS point.
>>
No. 625319 ID: e607cd

Rounding out +2 to all mentals with:
1 regular point to Intimidate

I believe that just leaves 3 regular points now.
>>
No. 625331 ID: 161883

>>625319
If we use the two unspecifieds as reg does that leave one more point?
>>
No. 625336 ID: 82efdc

Totals right now are:

4 - 3 = 1 PHYS
5 - 5 = 0 MENT
7 - 4 = 3 REGULAR

+2 charm
+2 intelligence
+2 speed
+3 magic
+2 intimidate
+1 str

If we count the three votes that didn't specify points spent ( >>625256 >>625252 >>625311 for charm intelligence and speed, respectively) that still leaves us with one regular or physical point to spend.

I feel as though specializing in a stat is the best way to go for level ups. After all, they don't cost more the more you raise them, and we can choose combat techniques that favor our high stat. Also, charm seems really useful, we wound up using that stat a lot.

No. 625359 ID: d3be40

>>625358
Yeah, but if real-life worked that way we'd see more scientists working in politics than a sci-fi convention.

Increasing stats is not necessarily an upgrade. It depends on the context; there are some situations where stat grinding is always effective, and situations where it is too time-consuming or even counterproductive.

For example, the Crimson Authority is likely going to notice all the shiny new Magic stat points we allotted OUTSIDE OF THE DEVICE. Wonder how that's going to play out...

>>625359
the magic points you're adding are only usuable when transformed. De facto, the Magic stat in Larama form is always going to be 0, and it's going to be blocked out from use when you're transformed but in a non-combat situation under Crimson control.

The upside to having better magic is versatility in the fights but it won't help you in the social game, or if you get into a fight as Larama.

Precision, as it was questioned, is what "dex" would be if your ranged attacks weren't magic. If you found yourself with a gun, then your ranged attacks WOULD be precision, but now they're just the subset of "fine control" dex skills like lock picking, balance, or watch repair

anyway still waiting on that last point to get allocated!

Okay, 11 o'clock. That means it's been twelve hours, again.

Put the last regular point in strength.
>>
No. 625363 ID: ce3b31

>>625362
That gives us
Strength: 4 (8)
Precision: 2 (5)
Intellect: 6 (6)
Charm: 5 (6)
Intimidate: 4 (6)
Speed: 5 (8)
Magic: 0 (8)
Self Control maximum: 20
correct?

Magical perks:
DOWN STAR - if you are not reeling from an attack you can safely land from any height or at any velocity
FASHION STAR - you can transform your clothing when in your Mahou form. This can also be used to repair damaged clothing or as a disguise.


and now it's time for a new thread...
