Enemies

Adrien Agreste/Chat Noir x Ladybug!Reader

"Surrender your Miraculous, Chat Noir!" You shouted as you glare at him from above on top of the Eiffel Tower.

"Dream on, Ladybug." He smirked and fires multiple Cataclysms in your direction. You used your yo-yo as a shield to protect yourself and fled the Eiffel Tower.

The city of Paris is once again troubled by a megakuma and after you just de-evilized the butterfly, a wild Chat Noir appeared. It's exhausting to deal with two birds with one stone but it's worth it. He was able to expand his powers, making the fights between you more difficult. He could fire multiple but limited cataclysms now. If he expanded his own powers, you sure also did. It's only fair to fight a lion if you're also a lion.

Chat Noir followed you as you escape the Eiffel Tower. Fortunately, he isn't as sharp as a knife, and with your street-smarts, you were able to lose him.

"This is taking too long, I have a date later." You groaned and you activated your second lucky charm, and it gave you a superglue. At this point, you're not going to question how it is used, but to figure out what to do about it fast.

You came back to where the fight was and scanned the environment, and you didn't spot anything to use the superglue with.

"You sure ain't good at hiding, huh, Ladybug?" You turned around and saw Chat spinning his baton, and you finally knew how to end this thing at once.

"Eh, you didn't even catch up to me given your cat abilities. Lame." You rolled your eyes trying to provoke him. He charges at you, and you two get into a fight worse than a catfight.

You love angering the cat in front of you, and the way he's slowly losing his cool from you dodging his scratches satiates an itch in your brain. You don't really hate him in the beginning, you actually wanted to cooperate with this kitty but something about the two of you just don't click. He doesn't plan his punches, he's impulsive, arrogant, doesn't like getting told what to do, and claiming he's a solo flight in fights.

Even actual cats don't behave this way, they won't exert much energy for this crap. Ugh!

Chat Noir growls and starts exerting more strength in his moves trying to bring you down.

"Oh... I see sweat, Kitty. Are you having a hard time? You think you're the only cat who's gonna lose to a bug?" You laugh earning a yell of rage from him. At this point in the fight, you're just dodging his offenses and waiting for a sign to use your lucky charm.

"You think you're all that?! You can't even defeat the megakuma by yourself!"

"Please, you think you did anything? You acted like a cat who broke a glass and thinks he did something great. In short you made it way worse!" He managed to scratch your suit earning a clean incision on your arm. You flinched at the sensation and let out a gasp.

Distracted, Chat Noir took this advantage to reach his staff from behind. He extended it to knock you out of the fight.

You flew from the impact and held onto his staff. You groaned from the pain and checked yourself from any more damages. As you were standing up, Chat Noir used his extended staff to knock you out of your balance, once again falling on your ass.

He chuckled at your state retracting his staff. "You think highly of yourself--"

"And you don't?!--" You hiss

"Shh! I'm talking!" He glared at you. "This is why you're so hard to deal with, you're so stubborn!" As he was about to rant his troubles about you, he saw you wiping blood from your injured arm. His eyes grew wide, did he cause this? If he did... Why would he even care? You deserved it! You don't believe in him! Is it deep, though? It might get infected...

He shook his thoughts and tried to put his staff back but it won't budge. He furrowed his eyebrows and held onto the other end to try and get it off the other but both ended up stuck. He groans in annoyance while putting much force to get it off, yet no luck.

You laughed at the scene and stood from where you were. "I told you, you don't plan ahead. I guess curiosity really killed the cat." You used your yo-yo strings to wrap around his ankles and yanked him up on the street lamp.

"Admit defeat?" You held up the super glue you used on his staff and pinched the cheeks of his upside down face. He only furrowed his brows further. "You know your face could get stuck on that expression--" As things were getting your way, beeping was heard from the two of you. "Not now!" You retracted your yo-yo from him. "This isn't over!" You ran away, leaving him on his own.

You let out a sigh after de-transforming back to your civilian self. You were exhausted from fighting two people today. Why can't Chat Noir surrender his miraculous so you can give it to the person who deserves it, like Marinette! Why did Master Shifu give it to him to begin with?

Your thoughts were interrupted when your phone was alarmed. "Oh, no! I totally forgot!" You really need to have a hero/life balance, how will you get to know your other half if you always prioritize hero duties?

You ran your heart out to the park to meet your date today. Panting, you scanned the area to see any signs of him but he was nowhere to be seen. Yeah, he already went home, it's really rude to make your date wait for a while, he might've felt embarrassed.

Sighing for the second time, you turned around and decided to walk home. "(Y/n)! Wait!" The familiar voice alerted you and looked around for the source, and there you saw him, Adrien. He was running towards you.

"I'm sorry, I was late! We hid from the megakuma and only stepped out when it was clear." He panted, catching his breath. Yeah, you and Chat Noir really contributed to his lateness.

"Are you okay? Were you hurt from the villain?" He cupped your cheeks checking you for any injuries.

"N-no! I'm fine, really!" You tucked your hair behind your ear, feeling flustered by his presence.

Little did you know, Adrien noticed your arm injury. It's really identical to what he did to Ladybug.

Yeah, you did not only forget one thing.

Botw characters / champions react to a Inner God power reader

(The reader is female and comes from our world and is sweet, nonchalant, happy go lucky) (the reader became the god’s host when they were 14 years old, they are now 17-18 now) (The reader possesses powerful inner god entity power with them that is even more powerful than hylia and the Triforce goddesses . And based on the wiki article inner god gives the reader godlike powers and abilities and knowledge at any level and all levels despite the reader’s lack of experience and is protective and possessive towards it’s host and will tear, wipe out and destroy anyone or anything that harms the reader and will take over the host body to help them if they unable to defend themselves) ( the reader is inexperienced but has a strong bond with the entity which gives the reader enchanted immense power with their abilities)

Link:

He is very wary of you due to your personality and that with such power you possess you should be more mature and be more serious but your not

Keeps the princess away from you at first since despite your sweet nature you also don’t plan out any plans at all and just go for it with your immense power not bothering stop and wait before going to help people and soldiers with a task

Still couldn’t believe you when you told him your power but was convinced when he saw that you could do anything with just a snap of your finger 

And when you were distracted or not paying attention he (as well as the others) saw how your power took control and protected you and was harsh towards the enemy

He also saw that nothing could effect you or even kill/defeat you for that matter

Zelda:

Is wary and surprised when she first met you looking around the castle (doesn’t know how you even got in the castle in the first place, you teleported your way in) and when you were taking a nap at sacred spring were she goes to pray

She did not like you at first due to the fact you had manage to unlock your power at a young age and is able to handle it just fine and even form a bond with the ‘entity’ that choose you as it’s host

she also didn’t like how you could just solve any problem with snap of your finger and how you have no experience or any idea about magic,fighting, or even how to be serious for one second always taking thing for a laugh and always try to be optimistic, even in dangerous situations

but over time when she sees your kindness and sweet personality she’ll look less hostile towards you and will ask to help her with unlocking her power and you did and it worked

Will be forever grateful to you for helping her power and for bringing back the champions and her father from death

Deruk:

He will think your power is cool and would always try to be like a brother to you and would hang out with you the most

Likes how adorable you are and just how powerful you are too and would show you off to his people(sorry I don’t know the name)

Is glad that you know how to protect yourself and even help the princess with her troubles and for that he is glad that your here with them

Mipha:

At the beginning she was wary of you but soon began to take a liking to you and the two of you became friends

You show her all kinds of water magic tricks that she has never seen before and is amazing even new swimming methods and how you hold your breath for long periods of time which amazes her completely

She also like how you see things in a positive light and is sweet to the heart and goes to you when she feels jealous when she sees Zelda with link and you listen to her give her some advice to just love herself

You also like playing with young Sidon which makes Mipha very happy

Urbosa:

Was suspicious of you at first and didn’t trust you at all and always kept in eye on you and made sure that you didn’t do anything funny

Try’s to get you to be serious and not so careless just because you have a power that can protect you every single time

Is grateful that you helped the princess with her power and you could easily take out calamity Ganon on your own if you wanted too

Revali:

Is snub when he first met you and did not trust you and was kinda jealous that had absolutely no experience with power yet here you are summoning wings and other magical powers and abilities so careless and freely and it would put the princess hard work to shame

Also didn’t like the you just have wings or could just float above the ground and air

But thanks you( kinda) for helping the princess with her struggles and her insecurities

Hyrule champions+Zelda (all of them together):

Honestly they didn’t know what to think of you at all(I mean a Human? Not hyrule, with god like abilities) it was basically strange and unknown to them and with your immense knowledge and Very many abilities they first saw you as a threat and consider you dangerous to the princess and hyrule

They all met you when they heard a loud boom with pink, gold-ish , along with a hint of rainbow glow outside the castle after the knight ceremony. As the made their way to the source of the light thinking it was the arrival of calamity Ganon but… but no it wasn’t in fact but it was you standing in the middle of the crater from the light that had faded from your arrival and they were shocked and confused because of the fact you had normal ears and light dark skin with a very questionable sense of fashion ( like your wearing modern day clothes colorful sleeved shirt and soft pants or a modern dress with high heel boots that looks weird to them) along with the appearance of a young girl(remember 14 year old but you are around the age of 17-18 now) which leaves them in shock and curiosity while keeping their guard up in case

once you step out from the crater you are immediately surrounded by guarded guards and Hyrule’s very champions having their weapons pointed at you and looking at you with a serious expression on their face meanwhile you just have a small smile on your face because you had expected this kind of treatment and just glad you manage to get here just in time to save everyone from their tragedy fate and you had a plan on just how to save them all with your power

(There will be a sequel to this )

Thoughts on Dragon Age: Inquisition [REPLAY]

Just my raw thoughts not a review or anything

Coming back to Inquisition after 10 years now, is like seeing an old friend that you truly didn’t realize how much they really cared until now that they’ve been gone for a while.

I loved my time revisiting the third entry in Dragon Age especially after last year’s Baldur's Gate 3 and the release this year of Dragon Age: The Veilguard in a few months.

Besides a few issues with the ambition of the story not quite being able to be realized at the time the game is incredibly fun, charming, epic, funny and honestly kind of ahead of it’s time like it’s series tends to be.

First speaking for the gameplay I played a rogue who specialized in assassination, which was incredibly fun a had an entertaining loop once I got my build finalized because man it took a bit to get to the good stuff and I’m not sure if I would have the patience if I already didn’t love the game which is a big slight issue that while the game eventually solved took way too long. The open worlds are all nice, fun and expansive if you remember that not all of them are gigantic and the hinterlands is a go back to every so often kind of place instead of staying there forever like many did. The combat flows well with the level design for the most part having areas that are open and easy to maneuver through however the prowess of the engine holds back some scenes trying to create a large scale that can’t be fully realized since the engine can’t hold that many enemies on screen even with a ludicrously over specs PC like most gaming PCs would be today. However even when the game itself can’t realize the massive world and scale of everything going on the story pulls through and does the heavy lifting. The main plot itself is rather simple, it follow your created character becoming the Inquisitor and expanding your influence to slowly figure out who killed the Divine and created a rift in the sky which eventually turns out to be a returning Corypheus from Dragon Age 2 and then you uncover a lot more things about him, the nature of dark spawn and the mysteries of Thedas as you work to beat Corypheus once and for all. The 3 DLC are 2 main story expansion and an epilogue, the first being Jaws of Hakkon which expands the world into previously uncharted lands further making the world of Thedas feel alive and well thought out as you interact with the Avvar people who basically share nothing besides their species and language with the rest of Thedas as well as uncovering the secrets of the first inquisition in what feels like a fantasy Indiana Jones jungle adventure at times just being incredibly satisfying. Next was The Descent which expands even further into Dwarves and the Deep Roads finally making them feel as cool as the series has always wanted you to think they were, the plot is a simple go down and explore what is causing sudden earthquakes and the resolution to it while leaving you with a bunch of new questions expands on dwarves in fascinating ways that I hope The Veilguard explores more through Harding. Finally you get to quite possibly one of the greatest pieces of DLC ever made with Tresspacer, the third and final story expansion set 2 years after the events of the campaign where an Exalted Council is held by your current Divine to see the future of the Inquisition post Breach and political pressure from both Orlais and Ferelden as a Qunari invasion starts within Eluvia Mirrors (teleporters to a different dimension) as you slowly uncover the mystery old the olden elven gods and why Solas left after the defeat of Corypheus then learning that he is in fact the Dread Wolf, the legendary trickster god who defied the gods and imprisoned or killed them as your mark which turns out to be his doing starts to slowly kill you. Trespasser alone is worth getting into Inquisition with how fantastic it’s quality is, I cannot stress enough how cool of an epilogue plot it is and how it’s unlikely anyone will quite be able to do it like they did.

Inquisition as a whole package is incredible with how it weaves a story spanning the entire continent through it’s side quest and DLC and a pretty fun fantasy story in it’s main plot as you live and breath along with everything in Thedas in a medium that is inherently the best at making worlds feel lived in. Few do it like Dragon Age and none do it better, Skyrim gets a lot of props for being “immersive” but that is only true superficially, if you truly wanna see what a believable world is then go ahead and give not only Inquisition a chance but also the entire series including material outside the games, it’s all great and you get to visit so many places that you basically come to know Thedas as if it was a place you’ve actually lived in. I wish I could write more about how great this game and experience was but I feel like The Veilguard will cover some territory that I want to mention here so I will save it all for that.

[egg-emperor]

I'm thinking about Eggman x Clutch because while Idc much for the character aside from some nice r34, two old men enemies dynamic. simple as. I have nothing deep to say I just think it would be cool if they fucked lol

Eggman finds out Clutch is behind the clean sweep thing and that stupid ass TV spot, sneaks into his place in his sexy purple coat and hat disguise to get past security and shit after trying some lying, bribery, pretending he's a bar of soap and giving them all the slip, etc. Finds and confronts Clutch and it turns into hatefucking just like that there and then because what else you know me

Eggman trying to dominate him through it and show him who's boss, that he's the one that's supposed to take what he wants from others like this, not the other way around like him with the clean sweep collecting his stuff. But Clutch looks at him smugly because this clearly isn't his first rodeo as he's an experienced older man too and Eggman isn't used to them being able to handle it this well

Well aside from how he still very much falters at times because Eggman is just very big for that lil opossum butt hehe. That makes Eggman happier to see so he tries harder but Clutch is up for the challenge and likes how pissing him off makes him rougher, teeth gritted and growling. Both of these old men like to prove how tough they are and how their age doesn't change that

And I'm just thinking of funny old men bickering during it, Eggman tries to degrade him and put him down by talking multiple shots at him for being an old man despite his own age like lol you old timer old ass man. But Clutch is just like "So are you and I bet you dye that stache" and Eggman says "Damn it well at least I'm not the one taking it like a slut right now like you in your old age"

Clutch is still unfazed and says "So bold but I bet you like taking it too, grandpa" and Eggman is like "why the hell would you even think that" and frowns harder and blushes and Clutch says "Well I wasn't sure actually but your reaction and how you didn't deny it just proved that you absolutely do." He's like "fuck you" and Clutch says "No fuck you because I know you'd like that >;)"

So he literally does to find out because Eggman is like "Alright then prove it" and plans to show he totally won't because there's no way he's good enough. But oh nooo he enjoys it and can't hide it, he got too confident again which happens too often when he bottoms. This dirty opossum, this fellow old man, gets him good. Damn it. How embarrassing. Clutch smirks "Who's the slut now"

So that was a little humiliating but undeniably enjoyable to end up in the complete opposite position of where he planned that night. But don't worry, it's okay because Clutch won't get to be very proud for long. Eggman still destroys him soon enough because it wasn't enough to change that he still messed with his stuff and endorsed that blasted TV spot and needs punishment, of course

he's especially gotta make sure he does a good job of it ASAP because he doesn't want Clutch going around telling anyone that before he has him under his boot in defeat, he was under him in secret not too long ago :P

[shinobus-unbreakable-spirit]

hi, don't know if you'll write this but I was wondering if reader is a new sun breathing hashira, what do the other hashira treat the reader?

(the reader has a personality alike with Kagaya, but might be a bit distance)

it's ok if you don't want to write this, thank youuu!

Ooooo, so the reader is the first sun breathing hashira since Yoriichi. This is... AWESOME! I definitely want to write this, and no, thank you!

I shall go through each hashira and give a description of how reader would be treated by them! Let's start with.... hmm... Flame hashira Kyojuro!

I believe Kyojuro would treat the reader with a lot of respect. Given his upbringing, he knows a bit about sun breathing and is intrigued to find out more about it. So, he would be very friendly with the reader and probably even request for you to spar together. I reckon he would say something like, "Iron sharpens iron, Y/N, so let's push each other to our limits!"

Since your personality is quiet and distant, you might struggle to develop connections with the more reserved hashira, but Kyojuro would happily be your best friend, always making an effort to approach you and make sure you're doing alright.

Sanemi... Might make an enemy out of you. He would perceive your quietness and reputation as the only sun breathing demon slayer as you thinking that you're superior, and thus, antagonize you. He would want to spar with you, except using real swords and because he wants to prove that he's better than you.

If you defeated him in a sparring match, he might actually grow some respect for you and start leaving you alone. However, until you prove your skills to him, he would show you a complete lack of respect

I could see Mitsuri being a little shy to approach you, but she'd admire you from a distance; she would think your sun breathing is ridiculously cool, and find your demeanor charming. If the two of you ever spoke, she would get endearingly shy and blushy, but being her energetic self, she wouldn't be able to help but open up and thus become more comfortable around you. It might just take some time.

Ultimately, she'd be one of the friendlier hashira, even inviting you out for meals (occasionally even for a 'snack', which for her, would still be ten boxes of bento) and asking questions about your likes and dislikes, hoping to get to know you better.

I think you and Giyu would have a lot to connect on. I imagine you both feel different, you because you're the only sun breathing demon slayer and Giyu because he doesn't feel deserving of his position. However, Giyu is very reserved, so you might not get the chance to talk much. That being said, he would treat you with respect and enjoy training with you.

If you went on a mission together, you would discover how well his water breathing synergizes with your sun breathing; together, your skills could topple even an Upper Moon demon.

You and Shinobu would get along just fine. She might tease you from time to time, but it'd be harmless. For the most part, she'd just be interested to learn about sun breathing, as she doesn't know much about it yet but likes to fill the gaps in her knowledge.

If you were ever seriously injured, Shinobu would be the one to take care of you. I can imagine her throwing out a playful remark such as, "You are the only sun breathing hashira around, so don't go dying on us, okay?" with a slight smile as she bandages you up.

If the reader has a personality like Kagaya, I imagine Gyomei would get along with them very well. He would show you a lot of reverence, and probably see the arrival of the sun breathing hashira as some sort of divine sign that the defeat of Muzan is inevitable.

He'd spend a lot of time getting to know you better, hoping to get to the bottom of what drives you. After all, Gyomei can't help but be interested in the first sun breathing hashira in years. However, it isn't enough for him to simply hear 'sun breathing'. He wants to know that you have the spirit and drive of a hashira. If you can show him that, he will be one of your closest companions.

Your first interaction with Tengen would go something like this:

"You're the new hashira? Hm, nice to meet you. I was expecting someone a little flashier, but seeing my flashy self in the mirror every day, my expectations are probably just too sky high. Anyways, what breathing did you say you practice again..?"

"Sun breathing." you respond.

"Oh, I see- WAIT, SUN BREATHING?!" he would dramatically yell and place both hands on your shoulders, "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY SO, DUMBASS?! YOU'RE FLASHY AS ALL HECK!"

You feel a little awkward, "I did say so."

Tengen chuckles and wraps an arm around you, "Alright, let's go out for a drink in some flamboyant bar and you can tell me more about sun breathing, how does that sound?!"

You would agree and go for a drink with him, and find out that his arrogance is deceptive and he's actually a good guy to have around. "You might be new, but if you ever need someone to teach you a thing or two, I'm your guy." He would say, raising a thumb and grinning, flashily. He would take you under his wing when it comes to getting used to hashira life and teach you what he knows, if you wish to learn (only in exchange for seeing your sun breathing in action, though.)

Muichiro is the hashira you'd interact the least with. It takes about a week for him to even acknowledge your existence, as he spends most of his time spaced out and focusing on things unknown. Then, when he does finally interact with you, it'd be in a very casual and dismissive way; during a hashira meeting, it turns out you're sitting in his usual seat, and he goes up to you and simply says "You're sitting in my seat. Please move." You would be a little confused, but shuffle over to your left, and then he'd sit next to you. He wouldn't look at you again for the rest of the meeting, nor would he say anything at all.

After Muichiro meets Tanjiro and regains his memories, however, his treatment of you would become less dismissive. He would apologize for the seat incident and begin greeting you when you pass each other, even offering a sweet smile.

Obanai would be rather rude to you, as he is to everyone. He expects the best out of his peers and wouldn't ever be nice to you. The best you would get out of him is a silent show of respect, which would only occur whenever you killed a demon in impressive fashion. If you ever made a mistake in his presence, he would remark on it. He holds you to especially high standards given that you're the sun breathing hashira.

He would perhaps even get jealous if he saw you talking to Mitsuri, and glare daggers at you. One of the other hashira, maybe Shinobu, would explain that Obanai is just like this with everyone and that you shouldn't take it personally.

-----------------------

I had SO much fun writing this! I really hope you had fun reading it, anon! The hashira would all respect you in their own ways, some more nuanced than others. Some would even be friends with you! Overall, this was a really fantastic ask so thank you for that <3

Critical Hit

Tickletober Day 4: Weak Spots

Yes, I am severely late. No, I will not be taking comments on it at this time. I would rather post something I'm satisfied with late than something half-assed on time. You all and I both deserve the best <3

Ryuji is tasked with leading the next Phantom Thieves' training session. Leave it to him to work in time to pick on his favorite Joker and teach something worthwhile!

Warning: Of course, tickles, and some curses.

“Joker, watch out!” Skull cried, deflecting an oncoming attack toward his leader, who had been occupied with another enemy.  The attack was directed back toward the Shadow that cast it, defeating it instantly.

“Nice job, Skull,” Joker praised, finishing off his own target. The Phantom Thieves were surrounded, but not critically so; a group of lower-level Shadows had managed to get the jump on the gang.  Even so, this was far from the Thieves’ first rodeo, having made several trips to Mementos, both in search of their favorite non-feline’s past and to help the citizens of Tokyo whose Shadows have become too strong.

“Truly art in motion,” Yusuke, aka Fox, commented. He, Skull, and Joker have been tasked to search a section of Mementos while Panther, Queen, and Mona search another section, having Oracle be the go-between for communications.

“Skull, your form and approach have quite changed for the better.  Perhaps I can attend your and Joker’s next training session? Surely there’s much I can learn,” he asked sincerely.  Skull snickered, throwing a knowing glare at his leader.

“I’m cool with you tagging along, but it’s up to the mighty leader over here.  Not sure if he could handle both of us.” Joker rolled his eyes as his friend hinted at the mischief that unfolded last time.

“Yes, Fox, I think that’s a good call. And since Skull is so eager for you to join he shouldn’t mind planning our next training session.”  That wiped Ryuji’s grin away.

“What?”

“Yeah, you did really well last time.  And it would be beneficial for someone else to be able to lead training sessions, just in case.”  Ryuji thought for a minute before nodding slowly.

“...Yeah, I can do it, no worries.”  Ren smiled.

“Good, can’t wait to see what you come up with.”

“Nor can I,” Fox chimed in, “I’m looking forward to it.”

They agreed on meeting in a week’s time, when the field and track would be free and clear again. It seemed like the dialogue in Ryuji’s head went from “I’ve got a week, no big deal” to “CRAP, I have to have this ready in a few hours!” in the blink of an eye, and he still had no idea on how to lead a training session.  He sat alone in the library, which was a rare sight in itself, but he knew he needed to step up.

“Come on,” he mentally prompted, “just plan training time.  An hour, maybe ninety minutes.  You can do this.”

“Ryuji?” The electric blonde jumped out of his skin with a shrill noise of surprise, earning him a “Shh!” from the other students. He turned quickly and saw his student council president and Queen to Mementos.  Makoto sat across from him.

“I’m surprised to see you here.  You looked like you were struggling, though.  Anything I can help with?”

“Uh… Yeah, actually.  But I really can’t talk about it here. It’s about practice,” Ryuji emphasized and gave her a look, hoping she’d take the hint.  She stood, as if to say “received,” but actually said, “Of course.  We can use the student council room.  Our meeting just ended, so no one’s in there right now.”

They walked to the now empty classroom where student council meetings are held, and Ryuji explained the situation to Makoto.  She listened intently, already forming several solutions but not wanting to miss any details.

“He just sprung it on me.  And in front of Fox, how could I say “no”?”  Her strategizing mind realized he was venting now, and she smiled at him.

“He trusts you, Ryuji.  And he wouldn’t have asked you if he didn’t think you could handle it.”

“...you think so?”

“Absolutely! You’re his best friend, you don’t need me to tell you that.” Ryuji reflected on it and smiled, but in an instant grew panicked again.

“Wait! Aren’t you and Ann going too?!”

“Shhh! Ren and I already discussed that,” she started, keeping her voice low despite the privacy of the classroom, “it might be best to keep up appearances as much as possible.  Meaning getting together in a big group all of a sudden might seem suspicious. She and I have separate training days until we figure out something else.”

“Oh… yeah, that makes sense.  That’s why he’s the Leader, I guess.” Ryuji couldn’t help but be relieved; he enjoyed having Ann and Makoto on the team, but the less people at his first led training session, the better.

“So, as for your session,” Makoto started, “Always start any physical training with a warm up.  It’ll help keep you from getting sore, and will help with performance during the training.” Ryuji was scribbling madly in his notebook, as if she were sharing answers to a final exam.

“Next, you need to pick the focus of your session.  What did Ren do during your last session?” Ryuji shrugged.

“Ran and sparred, mostly.” Makoto looked blankly for a moment, and as if on cue Ryuji added, “Oh! He went over “observing and adapting,” saying stuff like how just charging at Shadows wasn’t always going to work.  Which I still don’t know if I buy it, but his way worked, too.” Makoto sighed at his impulsivity, but continued.

“So he focused on refining a skill.  You can do that. Or, you can try teaching something that you specialize in.”

“Well…” Ryuji thought, “I am pretty good at knocking down some Shadows with one hit.”

“So you’re good at finding their weakest points, and using them to your advantage?” Makoto asked.  Ryuji’s eyes started to light up.

“Yeah… I can show them how I do that! Thank you, Makoto!” He suddenly stood and hugged her, running out of the classroom and not stopping until he reached the track field.

“I wonder how he’s going to teach that.”

**************************************************

“How the heck am I supposed to teach this?!” Ryuji exclaimed in his head, pacing the track while waiting on his two trainees.  He didn’t have to wait long though, as he could see Ren leading Yusuke in his direction, both changed in athletic wear and ready to start.

“Hello, leader-for-today,” Ren started, “I’ve been wondering what you’ve come up with.”

“As have I,” Yusuke chimed in, “I hope to be better equipped to handle Shadows, and to gain some artistic inspiration.  Seeing Joker take the lead is inspiring in itself, but you surely will offer a unique perspective,”  Though Yusuke’s intentions were pure, Ryuji took this as “the pressure’s on,” and became a bit more visibly nervous.

“Uh… Yeah… totally… WARM UP!” he shouted, suddenly remembering Makoto’s advice and recognizing a way to dodge the inevitable for at least a few more minutes.

“Right! We can’t train well without a warm up! Let’s jog a few laps and stretch!”  The two looked a bit confused, but did as they were told while Ryuji led the jog and stretches.

“Ryuji, are we ready to get started on the lesson?” Ren asked gently, starting to realize the task had given his second-in-command much more stress than he thought.  Ryuji finally sighed.

“Okay, I wanted to show you guys how I land critical hits on Shadows, but we aren’t in Mementos and I know we don’t usually go without the others just in case something happens and I couldn’t think of anything else to do and-”

“Ryuji,” Ren put a hand on his shoulder, and it worked as if it functioned as a “pause” button.

“That’s a great skill to learn! And we don’t have to be in Mementos; I’ll be the Shadow so Yusuke can observe.”

“O-Oh, okay… Yeah! Thanks, dude!” Ryuji regained every bit of his energy and excitement, causing Ren to chuckle fondly and Yusuke to wonder how Ryuji functions so well against enemies while his train of thought was all over the place.

“I suppose that’s what I’m here to learn” he thought, watching Ryuiji and Ren take opposing stances.

“Okay, um… Ren?” his ravenette friend smiled at him.

“Just do what comes naturally when you’re fighting.  Try to narrate it.”

“So,” Ryuji started, “There’s a Shadow in front of you, Yusuke. What do you notice about his stance?”

“Well, he’s grounded.  And he has one arm toward his face, and the other at his torso.”

“Right.  And that’s pretty normal for us: to protect our faces and middles, where our organs are,” Ryuji explained.  Ren and Yusuke were shocked at Ryuji’s knowledge on the subject, and how well he was teaching it.  Ryuji was even surprising himself, although he was only doing as Ren said, narrating his instincts.

“Every Shadow is going to have different areas they want to protect.  They don’t have organs and some might not even have faces, who knows.  But they’re weak somewhere, and their defensive stance will usually tell you where.”

“What about our Personas?” Yusuke asked, “They seem to have abilities that work well against certain Shadows, and not with others.”  Ryuji blanked, he hadn’t really thought about that part.

“Excellent question, but let’s focus on the basics for now,” Ren saved, “Queen and I were actually discussing this earlier, and are working with Oracle on compiling a list of Shadow’s we’ve faced and what their strengths and weaknesses are.” Though it appeared to just be the three here, Ren wanted to remain vigilant in keeping the other members’ identities safe.

“I see, thank you. My apologies, Ryuji, please continue.”

“Yeah dude, totally ask questions!” He faced Ren again.  “Now, come at me like you’re going to attack.  Slow-mo, though.” Ren nodded, seeing where Ryuji was taking this part.  He motioned a running start, and a punch with his right hand, the one originally blocking his torso.

“Stop,” Ryuji instructed.  Ren froze in his position, right arm extended in a mock blow to Ryuji’s jaw.

“Now, I can do three things. Since I was in my own defensive stance, I can block with this arm,” motioning his left, protecting his face, “I can take his wrist and fling him behind me using his own force,” again, the both of them demonstrating what that would look like,  “or, what I’m showing you guys, I can take this as an opportunity.  Yusuke, what’s changed about his position?”

“Well, in order to make an attack, he was forced to uncover a weak point he was previously protecting.”  Ryuji beamed.

“Exactly! You can’t do both. See,” Ryuji demonstrated, taking his pointer finger and tracing from Ren’s ribs to his hip bones. “His weak points are wide open now.” Ren inhaled sharply and winced. Ryuji looked to him, suddenly smug.

“And I do mean his weak points.” As a leader, he was proud that Ryuji picked up on small cues that could give him an edge.  However, he wasn’t the acting leader right now, so as his friend he’d hoped it would go unnoticed.  Yusuke hadn’t paid the brief interaction any mind, as he was more focused on the lesson at hand.  Ryuji returned to his original position, to the moment just before he would have been struck by his opponent.

“So,” he continued nonchalantly, “since we decided to attack, I see him coming toward me with this opening, I’m going to dodge, and strike.” Ryuji swerved his body under Ren’s extended arm, and instead of a mock strike, latched onto Ren’s side and squeezed.  Yusuke would have had to be blind and deaf to miss Ren’s reaction this time, as he squealed and recoiled from the surprise attack.

“AH! Ryuhohoji!”

“...What’s going on?” Yusuke asked, as much confused as he was amused.

“Just a demonstration,” Ryuji replied with a snicker before releasing Ren.  “I think you should give it a try.  Ren, you’re the Shadow again.”

“Greheat,” he replied as Ryuji and Yusuke switched places.  Yusuke had a gleam in his eyes too similar to Ryuji’s to be considered “comfortable” to the Joker.

“All right, Ren, slowly.  Yusuke, get ready.” Ryuji prompted. Ren exhaled, moving slowly for Yusuke’s sake.  It was his job, after all, to teach his team. And surely Yusuke is serious about his training, as to not be tempted by such juvenile tactics-

“BWAH! Hehehehey! YUSUKEHEHEHE!”  Yusuke did appear very serious in his training; so much so he adopted two strategies.  As Joker came with his slow swing, Yusuke grabbed his wrist with his right hand.  With his left, Yusuke latched onto the Joker’s ribs, noticing a much stronger reaction to his grip than Ryuji’s.

“Lehehehet go, Yusuke! Yohohou got me!” However, the artist chuckled and held firm to his “opponent’s” wrist.

“Have I done it correctly, Ryuji?” The blonde couldn’t believe what he was witnessing, and in the best way.  He cackled wickedly.

“I couldn’t have done better myself.  But he doesn’t look totally defeated.” Ren, still giggling against Yusuke’s ticklish grip, noticed Ryuji approaching.

“Stahahahay awahehey, Ryuji!” Ren threatened, trying with more desperation to break himself free from Yusuke.  However, in response Ryuji snatched his other wrist.  His giggles were already becoming more frantic, knowing how screwed he was with both of them playing this game.

“I’ve never seen you like this, Ren,” Yusuke noted, “It’s like witnessing a whole other part of you.”

“You are, dude.  This, you see, is “nearly defeated” Ren.” Ryuji explained as if we were now the expert in Ren’s weaknesses.  Which, in the context of which tickle spots can get Ren to buckle, he just might be the expert, Sojiro being a close second.

“I see. Are you telling me he has weaker points?” Yusuke said, still sounding like a student but adopted the smug smirk and mischievous gleam of a tormentor.

“Juuhuhust get ohohon with it!” Ren pleaded.  Why were they taking so long? And talking about him like he wasn’t even there?

“Quiet, you, I’m teaching, just like you asked,” With that, Ryuji swiped his fingers along Ren’s collarbone and neck with his free hand.  The raven-haired boy scrunched his shoulders up and sweet giggles bubbled forward.  Yusuke would not have believed this boy, adorable in his mirthful state, was in charge of the vengeful Phantom Thieves, if he were not there in the flesh to see for himself.

“Such a sweet sound, and a precious expression to accompany it.  I had not expected to find such inspiration from mere child’s play.”

Ren didn’t really have a response; he didn’t think he would serve as inspiration in this state either. Other than inspiration for Ryuji to continue leading him to his ticklish demise.

“Yeah yeah, he’s cute, we get it,” Ryuji said, and blushed himself a bit at the remark.  “Here, give me that.”  He took Ren’s other wrist from Yusuke and pinned both over his head.

“Now see, you’ve found your target’s weaker areas.  Deliver a critical hit.” His instructions came out malicious, and Yusuke’s look of adoration turned back to sinister.

“Y-Yusuke! You don’t have to do it! You already got me, and you picked it up really quick!”

“Yusuke, you remember when we fight Shadows how they sometimes beg to be spared?” Ryuji intervened, “Well, this is one of those times.  Since Ren’s right and you did get it on the first try, it’s your call. Mercy, or finish him?”  Yusuke looked at his now pitiful leader, and almost felt bad for him.  However, he realized this was an effect Ren tended to have on people.  He comes off pretty innocent or unassuming, but Yusuke has seen first hand what he’s actually capable of.

“How will I know if he’s “defeated”?

“Yusuke!” “Oho, trust me, he’ll tell you!” Ryuji said.  Ren felt his grip tighten on his wrists as he helplessly watched Yusuke approach him, claws formed with his hands.

“Y-Yusukehehe, nohoho, dohohon’t-NAHAHAHA!” Ren begged, but it fell on deaf ears as Yusuke descended his claw-like fingers into the hollows of Ren’s underarms, skittering up and down his tricep.  Ren tried vehemently, but failed to bring his arms down and out of Ryuji’s grip, who he could hear snickering under his own cackling.

“RYUJIHEHEHE you JERK!” he spat. 

“You know, we don’t take crap from Shadows, do we, Yusuke?”

“Definitely not.  This heathen needs to learn his manners.” Ryuji was absolutely ecstatic that Yusuke was seamlessly playing along as he shifted gears, drumming on Ren’s ribs like he would a piano.

“Do you know how many ribs you have, Joker?”

“YEHEHES!”

“How many?”

“TWEHEHENTY-FFFFAHAHA!” 

“PFFT!” He might have been trying to say twenty-four, if not for Ryuji throwing in a raspberry to the crook of the Joker’s neck.  He could (barely) handle Yusuke prodding at his ribs or Ryuji’s raspberries to the neck, but both?

“Well, if you don’t know, I’ll have to show you.” Yusuke stated simply, starting with his bottom two.

“THAHAHAT’S NOT FAHAHAHAIR! YUSUKE!” 

Ryuji laughed wickedly at his best friend’s expense, unknowing beforehand that Yusuke could be so cruel.  He wasn’t sure if Yusuke could tell, but amongst the loud belly laughter and rib-counting, Ren was starting to buckle the farther up his ribs Yusuke’s wiggling fingers traveled.

“Hey, Yusuke,” Ryuji said.  He almost had to raise his voice to be heard over the ravenette’s boisterous laughter.  He halted immediately, and Ren took the gracious opportunity to catch his breath.

“Be ready when you get to twenty-three and twenty-four. That’s our Joker’s weakest spot.”

“I started to believe he himself was a weak spot.”

“Screhehew you bohohoth,” Ren replied, bracing himself.

“Is that really any way to talk to your pupils?” Yusuke asked, catching Ren off-guard by kneading into his belly.  It was firm from consistent training, but still was quaking from all the giggle fits it helped produce.  Ren threw his head back onto Ryuji’s shoulder in a surprised guffaw, nearly head-butting his nose.

“H-hey, easy dude!”

“I-ihihi’m sorrihehehe!” Ren cried, putting in more effort to hold himself up.

“Here, Yusuke, follow me,” Ryuji instructed.  They led Ren to the ground, Ryuji still holding his wrists but allowing his head to rest in his lap rather than the ground.  Yusuke straddled his waist.

“I suppose this Shadow’s had quite the battle,” Yusuke observed, noticing the streaks of mirthful tears on his leader’s pink face. “I’ll waste no more time then!”

“Any last words, Shadow?” Ryuji teased.  Ren offered one more futile tug to his wrists and took a deep breath.

“Do your worst.  Because you two are dead.” 

“Tch, as if,” Ryuji played off, ignoring the slight chill down his spine.

“Bold words in the face of your demise,” Yusuke noted, also feeling a tinge of nervousness, but wasted no more time and drilled his thumbs in the topmost ribs on either side.  The same leader daring enough to make such a claim in his position positively howled as his most ticklish spot was exploited.

“YUSUKEHEHEHE!” Ren bucked and kicked at the space behind them, but to no avail as far as stopping the maddening sensations playing at his ribs.

“This Shadow’s done for!” Ryuji exclaimed, then laughing along as if Ren’s giggles were truly contagious.

“It’s almost as if, once you know how to deliver a critical hit, the Shadow is not as menacing,” Yusuke teased, switching from drilling to vibrating his fingertips along the length of ribs twenty-three and twenty four.

“JUHUHUHUST YOHOU WAIHIHIT! BWAHAHAHA!” Joker cackled, somehow still delivering threats.  His booming laughter soon grew silent, and he became too weak to struggle.

“All right, all right, I think he’s had enough,” Ryuji warned.  As cruel of a tickler as he was (which Ryuji made a mental note of), Yusuke stopped within the same second he was asked to do so, not wanting to abuse the trust he’d been given. Ryuji released Ren’s wrists, though his arms remained limp above his head while he caught his breath, which occasionally hitched in leftover chuckles.

“Are you all right, Ren?” Yusuke asked, now concerned.  But Ren chuckled, of his own accord this time.

“Yeah, heh, I’m okay.” Ren looked up at Ryuji, since his head was still in his lap.

“If this is how you plan on leading training sessions, you’re fired.”

“What?! No! At least, not every time,” he grinned, still full of mischief, “Gotta keep you on your toes, Joker.”

“And I yours. Yours too, Yusuke.  You won’t know when, you won’t know where-”

“Yeah, yeah, we get it, fearful leader, so scary,” Ryuji brushed off.

“...Let’s instead get some water and continue training? Actually training this time?” Yusuke suggested, as he and his eccentric blonde partner in crime helped their leader up.  While the rest of the training went as planned with no more antics, Yusuke and Ryuji couldn’t help the nagging feeling their Joker was not about to forget this any time soon.

OUT OF POCKET ANON has a request!

Open <-

Close

Heyo! I just found your blog and wants to know how would the main four + Basil react to somebody who has ice skates on and just kicks enemies in the face with them and deals massive damage but like their attacks cost a lot of JUICE so they mostly heal with HERO.

Thought that would be a cool concept!

End of request.

- out of pocket anon

Note: Anon this request is amazing! I'll admit I laughed while reading it. But in a good way! I hope I'll be able to get more requests from you in the future out of pocket anon! My apologies this took way longer than it should have anon.

Reader: Male. (Pronouns He/Him.)

Game Series: Omori.

Characters: Omor, Hero, Kel, Aubrey, and Basil.

Ice Skating Mania

Omori

It was just another day in Headspace with Omori and his friends sitting at having a picnic....in a mountain of snow and ice. An unusual place for him, his friends, and his sister to have a picnic for sure but as long as Omori could be with them he was happy. Aubrey and Kel could be seen having a snowball fight while Hero was caught in the middle trying not to get hit. Basil and Mari were also making snow angels together and while he could Basil snapped a picture of the snowball fight between Kel and Aubrey. Meanwhile, Omori was sitting on the picnic blanket waiting for another one of his friends to arrive.

However, it has been quite some time since he went off and left the group of friends. Omori was beginning to get a little worried about his friend thinking something may have happened to him. However just when he was thinking that he was pulled out of his thoughts by a "Hey Omori!" He turned his head to see M/N running towards him with something in his hands. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting Omori!"

"I promise you though it's worth the wait I can't wait to show you!" His friend's eyes sparkle with excitement and joy. Omori looks to see his friend has a pair of ice skates in his hands. "I've got some ice skates with me. I didn't feel they need to bring this up before since we don't come here much. But I'm pretty talented at ice skating and wanted to show it off to you!" His friend says as he takes off his shoes and puts on his ice skates. "Thankfully there's a frozen lake super close to here come I'll show you and everyone else what I'm capable of!"

He says as he takes Omori's hand and yells out to his other friends to follow him to the frozen lake. "Great now watch and learn you're about to witness skill and grace!" He says as glides around the frozen lake with graceful movements. But before he could finish two snow bunnies suddenly attack! Omori and his friends immediately jump into action to protect their friend and defeat the snow bunnies. "Now you get to witness some of my skills watch and learn everyone!" He says as does a twirl and downward kick and attacks the snow bunnies defeating them.

"Woah! That was amazing!" All but Omori said but even though he didn't say anything. You can tell by the expression on his face he found what his friend did pretty impressive. "Although that took a lot of my juice. Hero, do you mind healing me?" "Of course!" Hero said as he healed up M/N juice. "What's with that look, Omori? Were you impressed? If so come on I'll teach you to be just as skilled and graceful as I am with ice skating!"

Hero

M/N had just gotten back to see his friend Hero In the middle of a snowball fight between Kel and Aubrey. M/N laughed at the sight of Hero being caught in the middle of a snowball fight. "Oh, my Hero how did you manage to end up like this?* M/N smiled as he saw Hero trying not to get hit as he ran over to M/N. "Those two haven't stopped they've been having that snowball fight forever now." Hero says to M/N out of breath from the running and dogging he had been doing trying not to get hit by the snowballs.

"Seems like you need a break huh? Well, I know the perfect way for you to take a break and relax! Look I've got some ice skates with me I'm pretty skilled at ice skating come on I'll show you!" He takes Hero's hand and drags him near a frozen lake and Omori and the others follow as well to see M/N skate. M/N takes off his shoes and then put on his ice skates putting his shoes aside.

M/N steps onto the frozen lake and skates around with skill and grace "Well Hero what do you think? " You're amazing M/N! You should have shown me this sooner! M/N laughed "Thank you Hero I'm glad to hear that. Now to finish this off with a spin!" But before M/N could finish with a spin a Snow Angel attacked! Hero and the others rushed to M/N's side to help him defeat the enemy.

"My skills with ice skating even involve battle as well! Now watch and learn everyone!" M/N said as he skated around the Snow Angel and as he got closer to it attacked it with the heel of his ice skate. "Yay another victory for M/N!" The group watched in amazement as he defeated the Snow Angel. "However I am low on juice be a dear and heal me, hero?" "Oh of course! Right away I'm here to help!" Hero said as he healed up M/N juice.

"That was amazing M/N! How'd you manage to do that?!?" "With tons of practice of course! Here I have another pair of ice skates put these on and I'll tell teach you!" Hero takes the ice skates from M/N and then steps on the frozen lake and falls. "I thought that might happen here take my hand I'll teach you step by step!" M/N says as Hero takes his hand and begins to practice ice skating.

Kel

You had just gotten back to see your good friend Kel in the middle of a snowball with your other good friend Aubrey. You had no idea how long it had been going on but assumed it started after you left. You also noticed Hero in the middle of the chaos of the snowball fight trying to get Kel and Hero to stop while not getting hit with a snowball himself.

Kel and Aubrey even built snow walls to duck behind so that they wouldn't get hit. You quickly rushed over to Kel "Hiya Kel how's the snowball fight going? Kel turned to look at you and his face lit up as he saw you. "M/N your back! Come help me defeat Aubrey In a snowball fight!" You laughed as he started to throw snowballs toward Aubrey. "Okay I can help but only for a little while I have something to show you!" You said as you and Kel threw snowballs at Aubrey while she complained about how unfair two against one was.

After a while, the snowball fight ended with you and Kel being the winners! "Yeah, we won! We're awesome we make a great team M/N!" Kel said looking towards you with a big smile on his face. "I agree we were we'll have to do this again sometime Kel. It was so much fun! But look I have something to show you." You get your ice skates and show them to Kel. "This is what I was away getting some ice skates! I'm pretty talented and wanted to show you what I'm like when ice skating!"

M/N took Kel by the hand and guided him over the frozen while calling out to his other friends to follow. He took off his shoes and put on his ice skates while putting his shoes aside. Once he was ready he stepped onto the frozen lake. "Watch this Kel! Watch and learn the skill and grace of a skilled ice skater!" He was about to finish with a slide however enemies appeared!

Kel and everyone else jumped into action to defeat the enemies and protect M/N. "Don't worry everyone like I said I have the skill and I shall deal with this enemy," M/N said as he dashed around and did a jumping slash at the enemy. "The enemy is defeated and there's a victory for the party!" "Woah M/N you were so amazing! So cool! Teach me to do that!" M/N laughs. "Of course, I shall teach you but I need to heal my juice and then I'll teach you!"

Aubrey

After getting a pair of ice skates you decided to head back to see your friends. Hopefully, you didn't keep them waiting too long Honestly you're not sure long you'd had been away. But it seems like you've been away for longer than you thought as two of your friends had gotten into a snowball fight. Those friends being Kel and the friend you had something to show to being Aubrey.

But you decided that you could have a little fun before you showed her your talent. You rushed over to Aubrey and decided to join the snowball fight! "Heya Aubrey! How's this snowball fight going?" She was surprised to see you but then quickly became excited. "M/N I'm glad your back! Now join this snowball fight and help me win!"

Alright Aubrey let's do this we'll win for sure!" You said as you joined the snowball fight with Aubrey. To say the least...you and Aubrey won easily. I mean why wouldn't you? You've got a friend who's pretty strong after all!

"Okay now that we've won that and quite easily might add. What is it you want to show me M/N?" Aubrey had asked. "Oh yeah here's what I want to show you!" You said as you showed Aubrey the pair of ice skates. "I've been told I'm pretty talented with ice skating. I must say I also agree as I enjoy it. But I wanted to show you and see what you think. Come let's go follow me!" You say as turn around going around to the nearby frozen lake and call out to your other friends to follow.

As M/N and the others get closer to the lake. He then takes off his shoes then puts on his ice skates. "Okay now watch this Aubrey I'm sure you'll be impressed!" You say as you step into the lake and show Aubrey what you have learned. "Wow, amazing! That's so graceful and wonderful M/N!" However, just then Snow Angel attack!

"Okay everyone time to defeat the enemy prepare!" Aubrey says as she and the others prepare to fight. However, before they do anything. You slide in and defeat the enemy with some ice from your skate! "Woah amazing M/N! Teach me how to do that!" *After that you take a moment to relax. "Sure Aubrey but I need Hero to heal my juice then I'll teach you!" You said as Aubrey grew a smile on her face. "Thank you M/N I can't wait!"

Basil

You had just gotten back from the picnic you and your friends were having. You were not sure why you'd have a picnic here. But to say you didn't mind would be a lie you now got a chance to show off your ice skating skills! However, you just need to find Basil so you can show him.

You were looking around for him and then spotted him with Mari making some snow angels. You approached the both of them "Hello you two! Mind if I join?" You smile. "Oh hello M/N it's nice to see you again. Sure you can join us." Basil said. "Great seems like the both of you are having fun!" You lay down next to Basil and start making snow angels.

"Hey, Basil I have something to show you!" You sit up and turn to look at him as he does the same. "Oh, what is it M/N?" Basil asks. "It's these! I got these ice skates while I was away. I like to think I'm pretty talented with ice skating. Come on I'll show you!" M/N says as he takes Basil to the nearby frozen lake. "Have fun you two!" Mari called out. "We will!"

As they approach the lake M/N takes off his shoes and puts on his ice skates. Then steps into the lake. "Okay watch me Basil I'm sure you'll be impressed!" M/N said showed off the skills and moves he had learned as an ice skater. "Watch out M/N!" Basil says as M/N turns around and dodged an attack from an enemy.

M/N strikes the enemy in the head. "Oh, my that was wonderful M/N!" "Oh thank you, Basil. Goodness, I need to heal up my juice I need to ask Hero to heal me." "Yes let's have Hero heal to make sure you're okay." M/N smiles at Basil. "Sure let's do that then I can teach you how to skate!"

im bored so heres a list of 3ds games i like that you should download if you have hshop

-Parascientific Escape Trilogy: basically a mix of puzzle, mystery and visual novel. the games involve a lot of psychic and ESP themes (hence, parascientific) so if yer interested in like telekinesis and whatever i recommend it. also theres a scene in the 1st game where one of the characters straight up tells the protag “im gonna call the police” in the most polite and kind way possible and its great

-Legend of Dark Witch Trilogy: a sidescrolling platformer thats basically just megaman but with anime girls. the game is in a retro sprite style that looks awesome and the music is a banger, however its uh. very hard. even on easy. you might have to replay the levels a lot but as long as you remember to level up your stats youll be fine. besides getting a game over doesnt wipe yer progress or anything. if yer a fan of megaman you should get it cause its like a spiritual successor (like how yooka-laylee is inspired by banjo-kazooie and pizza tower is inspired by wario land)

-Pocket Card Jockey: i don’t really like card games but i still really like this one. mainly its bc its funny as hell. like in the very beginning your character straight up dies via getting trampled by horses. anyway, the game is essentially solitaire mixed with horse racing. if you go in not knowing how to play solitaire (like i did) you may find it a little hard but its still really fun regardless. the game’s artstyle is also just really nice to look at bc it makes everyone look... idk, toyish? playmobile? i wouldnt say its chibi but its close. anyway if you like comedy and puzzle games please play this game its great

-Tomodachi Life: this game is like if nintendo made their own version of the sims. basically, you run an island populated by the miis you create and you have to solve their problems. it can get a bit repetitive but never completely stale as a lot of wild things can happen. for example, on one of my playthroughs chikorita from pokemon and dedede from kirby married and had like 3 kids. like in any other situation the concept would be cursed but here its so ridiculous that its good. also, like pocket card jockey, there’s a lot of comedy aspects. this is probably the most iconic game out of the ones im listing here, so if you like life sims and memes, this is the game for you!

-Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido: yeah, most of the games im suggesting have stupid premises that are executed surprisingly well. in a world where fish doesn’t exist, literal freaking GODS make sushi. of course, nobody has tried seafood in this universe, so an ongoing war is happening over it. your job as the protag is to make sure everyone is able to get sushi without risking their life for it. yeah, sounds dumb, but the battle system for defeating enemies is really satisfying, as you link together pieces of sushi and yeet the empty plates at yer opponent. if crack taken seriously is yer thing, you should get it!

aaaaaand thats all i can think of rn. if you have hshop on yer 3ds then you should get these games bc their really cool and fun thanks :D

heyyyy your Zelda au/story thing sounds cool you got any interesting facts

okay SO not sure of any interesting facts so I’m just gonna dump all of the information & stuff that I have written/planned out so be warned of the LONG text under the cut

I’ve dubbed this story The Legend of Zelda: The Daughter of Evil but there’s a chance this may change so be warned

So prettty much Zelda’s mom Sonia (I named her Sonia as a reference to totk) is a sheikah who falls in love with Ganondorf. Over time, however, Sonia starts to get scared by Ganon so after Zelda is born, she flees Gerudo Town and goes back to Hyrule. There, she hides the fact that she’s a sheikah in hopes that Ganon won’t be able to find her or Zelda. Sonia asks Impa for help with everything. Impa helps Sonia and teaches Zelda the ways of the sheikah. Eventually (when Zelda is like 2) Sonia falls in love with king Rhoam (she’s a bad bitch who pulled not one but two kings lol). Sonia, Impa, and Zelda move into the castle. Impa continues to train Zelda & no except Sonia knows of this. Eventually, Sonia dies when Zelda is 11 (sad)

Link lives in a little farm on the outskirts of Castle Town. His dad is a florist and his mom is a knight in the royal guard.

Every three months, a ceremony is held where everyone in the kingdom aged 14 or older must go to the temple of time to try and pull out the master sword.  Years ago, a seer prophesized that the holder of the triforce of power would attack hyrule andbring evil. Only the holder of the triforce of wisdom who had special sealing, light powers alongside the holder of the triforce of courage who carries the master sword can banish this evil.  The master sword was found in the temple of time in the lost woods. The king placed guards on the temple to protect it from evil.  Ceremony is held to find the one who holds the triforce of courage and protect & train them to defeat whoever holds the triforce of power.  Only those there to try to pull out the sword & the royal family are permitted in the sanctum with the sword.  Link pulls the Master Sword out on his 14 birthday on accident.  Monsters show up so without thinking he grabs the sword to defend everyone else at the ceremony.  Ends up being taken to the castle to begin training & to be protected.  Zelda and link become quick friends.  Zelda does not yet know she holds the triforce of wisdom.  They spend some time together goofing around the castle.  After being bored of being trapped in the castle for so long, Link and Zelda sneak out to go explore outside of the castle.  They get attacked by monsters not too far from the castle.  Link tries to protect them with teh Master Sword, but he’s not well trained with it yet (it takes a lot of energy, more than a normal sword).  As he is about to be struck down, Zelda jumps in to save him and unlocks her power from the triforce (think how botw zelda unlocked her powers when saving link from the guardian).  Impa (who was following them) sees this and tells the king.  The King is upset at them sneaking out, but happy that they found the holder of the triforce of wisdom (especially since it’s his kid, lol).  King Rhoam holds a ball to celebrate the finding of Link and Zelda holding pieces of the triforce (and to send a message to any enemies that they are protected by the king of hyrule himself).  Ganondorf sees this and sends monsters and a phantom ganon to attack the ball and kidnap Link & Zelda) .  King Rhoam is killed.  Link & Zelda manage to avoid getting caught or killed but they do get separated. 

After the ball, Link wakes up in the temple of time where he first pulled the master sword out. He heads further into the temple and meets the great deku tree. He speaks to the great deku tree and meets Navi as well.

I haven’t figured out what happens after this yet but I do know that I want an evil/puppet Zelda fight before the final fight against Ganondorf like the possessed Zelda in twilight Princess or spirit tracks

sldeowhdgejdbenfidjd anyways sorry this is long and messy and filled with spelling errors but I hope you like hearing about my little story!!!

if you have any questions about anything feel free to ask me!! I know this prolly wasn’t the clearest answer

[lyranova]

Hi Lyra! Congrats on reaching 700 followers!! 🎉 I meant to send this ask a while ago but it completely slipped my mind lol.

I wanted to ask you about your opinion(s) on the Ryuzen Seven (unless someone had already asked you about them) and how you think they'd fit with the BBs. Since Finral's reached Hino, I'm sure a tour is inevitable at some point. 😆

& if it's not too much trouble, I want to know which moment in Black Clover made you love the series!

Have a great day! 😊🩵

-------

Hiya E! No worries, sometimes things slip our minds or we forget things, it happens to me all the time (especially lately 😆)!

No one's asked me about the Ryuzen Seven, the only question I've gotten is about Yosuga, but not the others! Intead of answering each character individually I'll just answer as the group and then how they'd fit in with the BBs!

So my thoughts on the Ryuzen Seven as a group are that they're pretty cool and work well together as a team! I like how they're able to pair up and defeat their enemies, and how they trust each other to do their "job", and I hope we'll get to see more of them before the Manga end, because I think they're interesting and a fun group 😁!

I think they’d all get along really well! They would cause havoc and chaos around *all* of the Clover kingdom, and it would be glorious 😭! I hope we get to see it at least once or twice before the series ends!

Oh I'm sure now that Finral's been to Hino we'll get a few trips there with the BBs (At least in Fanon 😆!).

What moment made me love the series...hmm...the moments that stick out to me are the Underwater Temple and when Devils were introduced 🤔!

The Underwater Temple because we got to see all the BB's work together as a team for the first time, and we got to see some great development with their characters, powers, and team ups (I will always remember how my mom and I reacted to Grey's true appearance, we both screamed "she's so cute~!" and how my opinion on Finral changed!)

And I will admit I did get a little...bored during the elf arc (I was excited about the lore and everything, but it kind of dragged on for me since the arcs blended together 😅), but then Zagred was introduced and I was pulled right back in! I don't know why, but whenever a show, series, anime, introduces devils, angels, and all of that I just get really excited 😆! So that's the second thing that pulled me into the series and made me a complete fan!

Decided to start documenting TTRPG stuff

I didn't really have a reason for this Tumblr, but i decided to just start typing some things about my campaigns. Planning, inspiration and the process i use. I don't know if it will be useful or interesting but for now i'll stick with it.

For today: I decided to finish a dungeon I started work on yesterday for my main Pathfinder campaign i am running: The Heroes of Might and Magic (7 i think now, it changes each time a new player or character joins the party). First i needed a theme, and i already had one picked out. The party shall be assaulting an undead warcamp, manned by Markonian (a country) and undead soldiers. So my basic enemy selection was done.

After this i ofcourse needed a map. While i do often make my own maps, using either Dungeon Scrawl for less effort maps (good program btw, it's free on any browser) or using Dungeon Painter Studio on steam. DPS is as great program and makes super cool looking maps, but i really didn't feel like making a map this time so i decided on an even better option: plagiarism. I simply used a map of the internet. While i do not suggest this for public games where money is made by playing it, such as Dimension 20 or Arcane Arcade, for your random fun hangout session with some friends most people would not have a problem using a dungeon from the internet. Just make sure to start that you, infact, did not make this amazing looking map.

Map, check. Theme , check. Now for enemies. As i play Pathfinder 2e i use https://maxiride.github.io/pf2e-encounters/#/ the website linked here for my creature selection. It shows basically all Pathfinder enemies and their challange rating and lastly also links to their monster sheets. It's really easy to search for specific types of enemies, so i simply looked at the selection of undead monsters and got to work. First of all, the Banshee immediatly stuck out to me. It's a very recognizable monster, so a fight would be very interesting. Besides that, it had a very good Challange rating of 17, meaning a group of 5 level 12 characters would still have trouble with it (Very good). Besides that, i threw in a few Leng Ghouls, a Lich, a Demi-lich and a few miscelanious undead and i had my selection of baddies.

Some tips i suppose. Make sure to have an interesting combat idea in mind. If you have a plain room with nothing of interest, the party and their enemies will not be able to actually use the environment at all. This results in stale combat most the time. Therefor, spice it up! Add a few tables to flip or pillars to hide behind. Maybe have the enemies be reinforced halfway throughout the fight or call for backup. Just something to have the party re-evaluate their situation. If they're doing that, then it's already a way better combat then if you didn't add this fluff.

Now ofcourse: treasure. Level 12 characters can have very powerful stuff. So if they defeat this boss they require equally powerful rewards. Therefore, a PC will strengthen their bond with their god of choice (Generis) and gain more powers. Secondly, a lot of gold. And thirdly, a whole lot of magic items. The last two there are a few charts you can look at for what level magic items and how much gold to grant them. OR you can wing it, like I do :)

Now that'll be all for now, I really must get back to actually designing this dungeon. Have a good one.

[narse-tantalus]

This is actually silly though -- there is no reason to believe that production would decrease 1% due to unintended staff turnover. The executive does not choose how much oil is produced, just how the company allocates its resources, and the employees of the firm would be very likely to just keep doing the same things with a different interem boss.

You know what would much more directly change oil production levels? A change in oil price. Which is set by the behavior of thousands of institutional traders representing millions and billions of consumers each day. This isn't a thing we can individualism our way out of. Also this kind of advocacy for violence has a history of not working out too well for anyone. But fundamentally climate change really is a collective action problem - on a massive massive scale. And imagining killing oil executives doesn't find us a path to where oil industry workers can still make their mortgage payments and send their kids to decent schools. Which are the only paths we can really expect them to want to collaborate on.

And if you don't care about the wellbeing of the children of people who presently work in the oil industry one has to wonder if you're more invested in the violence being advocated for than the harm allegedly being prevented.

It's very human to want to blame someone for a problem, to want to make them a scapegoat and inflict violence on them for causing harm to all of us. But it rarely helps solve the problems or reduce the harm.

Popular passed laws have been good methods of doing this kind of collective action coordination in the past. You could advocate for a law banning fossil fuel burning in your polity. Sure, that has 0 chance of passing now because people want to be able to heat and cool their homes, get to work and get their kids to school. But it probably has 10-20% support in a lot of polities even without those alternatives in place. How do you get the other 30-40% you need to impose your will on the other 50% at gunpoint? (Assuming you're willing to use state based coercion).

Anyways, spend less time thinking of oil execs as your enemies who must be defeated in battle to excise the immorality rotting our polity, and more time figuring out how to make it possible for your neighbors (and your distant cousins in oil dominated economies) to vote to ban fossil fuel burning in their polity.

Because I guarantee you that bullets won't decrease the demand for oil to be used for things like driving kids to school.

Sorry for the bad photo quality, Tumblr doesn't like posts this long.

[okikurumi]

how would you improve every okami boss fight [except yami it's already perfect]

i was thinking for ninetails they would plagirize more brush techniques than just galestorm, cherry bomb and icestorm, as well as be able to use their infernal brush without your input of bringing up the celestial canvas, maybe also let them use the fox rods against you as it's own rosary which would fire off like a minigun unless you bring flame to it causing the flame to spread all over ninetails and split them like thunderstorm to ninestrike

Ohhhhh interesting. Hmmm. I'll throw my thoughts under a cut

The Spider Queen...I don't know? I think she fits her role as a tutorial boss pretty well. She's obviously super easy, so much so she basically gets demoted to mini boss later. But I don't think that's really a bad thing, for most games the tutorial boss SHOULD be easy. They're just the player's first experience with enemies with a larger pool of health and a puzzle or gimmick to defeating them.

I can't remember if it's possible to two-cycle her or not? I feel like it is, but if not, then I guess that would be an improvement. Just something to make her less of a pain for returning players or new players who get the hang of her flower puzzle right away.

Crimson Helm, I'm not sure how I'd change them, but I think it'd be neat if the canine warriors played a bigger roll. Maybe have them fight along with you, even if it's mostly just for show.

Orochi, to the surprise of no one, just shows up too many times. His fight is kind of tedious to begin with. I don't think it's bad the first time. The fight is a fairly cinematic moment, and is posed as a final boss (sort of. Not so much in the fight itself, but you spend the first 3rd or so of the game just hearing about Orochi, feeling his effects on the world, and building to his fight, and there's been no mention of Yami iirc). So the length of the fight works. But then you fight him again. And then again. Honestly just cutting him from the rematch gauntlet would probably be enough, or finding some way to streamline the following fights.

Blight just. Man I'm not sure what it is but I do not like their fight. Least fav by far. I think it might just be that it's not very engaging. Blight really only has two attacks they do (the sword spin, and the little teleport dash thing) and they both lead straight to an opening to damage them. So if you're good at the mist timing, then they're piss easy, and it just becomes a slog waiting to drain Blight's hp. If you're not, then it's a pain in the ass, but it's a boring pain in the ass. It probably doesn't help that I don't find the mist technique all that interesting in a combat setting.

I don't know how I'd fix the fight necessarily. Some variety to their attacks would be a good start I think (they're the 4th boss!! You can give them more than two moves!!). I also think it'd be cool if you could make more use of Issun in the fight! He gets to play more of a roll in this dungeon, it's a shame we don't get to DO anything with him in the fight really!

Ninetails, my beloved, I don't really have many issues with. Love their concept, the fight is fairly fun, a good mix of being on the defensive before switching to offense. I love combat with a sort of ebb and flow to it. Ninetails is agile enough to keep you on your toes, but not bullshit hard either. Like you say, I think giving them more brush techniques to use could be neat. Feels a little odd to have fire in their arena, not to mention a fucking lava moat around the island, but they never use fire! Even power slash could work as a low-damage-but-quick attack to use when you pull up the canvas (making it harder to stop them, but not being too punishing in exchange). Don't know if you're the same anon as the previous Ninetails ask I just answered, hi hello I've been busy but I do think them being able to force the canvas open would be cool, but only if used sparingly, otherwise I think it'd get annoying.

Lechku and Nechku...hrmmmmm. Only really counting them as a unit, because the solo fight with Lechku(? Is that the twin we solo?) is more a story beat, and Shiranui makes it a quick run. Really cool tho!

Anyway, I'm really not sure! Next to Yami I've probably fought them the least. I think they do a good job forcing you to juggle two threats at once. I think it'd be fun if you could turn their attacks against each other more often. Like, it's funny to make Nechku's bomb blow up on its head, but it'd be more funny to redirect it to blow up on Lechku's instead. A lot of twin boss fights in rpgs have you directly use one twin to hurt the other (like a fire/ice type situation. Shoutout Twinrova OoT). Not very inventive of course, and I don't think it's really necessary, but I suppose if I were to change them, maybe that way?

Or the real - completely unbiased - answer of Let Oki Do More In The Fight.

Dungeons and Dragons monsters (in a hardcore rap battle context)

We all know that the Gibbering Mouther is by far the most threatening monster in the context of a hardcore rap battle to the death, but how would other denizens of the monster manual fare?

Ankheg: While they are an imposing foe in the low levels, boasting both a bite attack that also grapples the target AND a mid range acid spray that can punish a party for poorly positioning themselves, they are sadly ill-prepared for a rap battle, given their lack of language, and low intelligence and charisma stats. They try their best, but even their most potent disses are crude and uninspired compared to your those of your average commoner. They might be able to spit acid, but they are sadly lacking when it comes to fire. Cloaker: Cloakers are devious combatants, both capable of flying silently at night, and disguising themselves as harmless pieces of clothing to allow them to better ambush their foes, and these abilities DEFINITELY make them a terrifying opponent in ANY lyrical combat scenario. You can expect them to hold back their most devastating lines, ever watchful for the perfect moment with which to devastate their enemy. This strategic approach also works well with their passive ability: Damage transfer. With this ability, the Cloaker can transfer 50% of the emotional damage you inflict upon them with your verse to anyone they are currently clinging to; you think that your diss about how they look like a ragged old coat is gonna be the deathblow, but wait! That implies whoever it's attached to looks to be WEARING a ragged old coat! That's 50% of your diss harming the wrong target! Finally, the most chilling ability of the Cloaker is their Phantasms; the ability to conjure THREE hype men to aid its cause! The crowd being against you is a death sentence in a rap battle, and the Cloaker knows it. ONLY challenge a Cloaker to a rap battle as a last resort, for they have exactly two languages, and both are filled with some of the most damning insults known to man!

Demilich: The Demilich is one of the most fearsome creatures, both in the game AND in a hardcore rap scenario, with soul-draining magics, incredible intelligence, and a deadly howl. However, while it is by no means an easy target, there ARE certain lines that are sure to work. For example: if you were to make a line about how they are just a head without a body (A subject many are quite sensitive about), you can guarantee a Demilich will lose their cool. While the Demilich is susceptible to bars about heads, bodies, and the like, they are FAR from helpless; they are perhaps the most aggressive battle rapper in the monster manual, with the ability to spit a curse at you as a legendary action. Finally, their most feared ability is their power to kill an enemy with a single line, an outcome that is almost impossible to pull a win out of. You'll try to act tough during your turn, but then you can guarantee they'll bring up the fact you died to their previous verse, and it'll destroy all your credibility.

Ettin: The Ettin is not terribly smart, nor witty, but can pull out a couple of zingers if you are ill-prepared. The key to defeating them in a rap battle is to play on their inherently argumentative and competitive nature, for the Ettin's greatest strength is ALSO their greatest weakness. By provoking their two heads against one another, you can easily make them end up spending more and more of their verses tearing each other down, rather than aiming for you. This is why it is IMPERITIVE to have a good rapport with your teammate before engaging in a tag team rap battle. One line that Ettins are quite fond of is incorporating "Two heads are better than one!" into the battle. You can guarantee that an Ettin will try to set up for it in their first verse, so be sure to plan accordingly.

Jackalwere: The shapeshifting Jackalwere is a tricky opponent. Expect them to shapeshift into you to mock various aspects of your appearance or voice. Sadly for the Jackalwere, however, its abilities do not lend itself to rap battles of ANY kind; their shapeshifting will not earn them any points, because they would be taking on the very traits they are mocking, and the skin-deep nature of the insults would only cause lasting emotional damage if they hit on a topic you are particularly sensitive about. Furthermore, their ability to lull a victim to sleep with a glance is not going to help them. If anything, it'll look like their verse was so dull it put you to sleep, and there is no coming back from that. That said, they do have pack tactics, so expect them to try to tag in their squad if they get backed into a corner.

Cirno Senki Chapter 5 (Part 5)

One turn after Tenshi summoned rocks for the third time

Seiga : This is taking more time than I thought… Perhaps I shouldn’t have sent my undead soldiers after all.

Oh, that's right. There’s a better method.

There's no need to go around the lake. If I head straight, I could quickly send reinforcements.

Well then...

Daiyousei : Eh ? What’s coming from the lake... !?

Aya : If the kappas saw this, they would surely be in shock.

Yuuka : This move is too indirect to be the work of that celestial... In that case, that means...

Cirno : Hmph ! No matter what comes out, I’ll just defeat them !!

Daiyousei : Cirno-chan, is this really okay ?

Cirno : Obviously !!

Letty : Even so, it would be unmanageable to defeat every single soldier one by one.

Wouldn't it be better to have a more forceful approach and remove their leader ?

Yuuka : I agree. Crushing each enemy individually is troublesome, so it would be quicker to just deal with that celestial being and get this over with, don’t you think ?

Cirno : I see ! That could be a cool idea !

Daiyousei : Eeh ? But isn't it risky... ?

Sunny : Dai-chan, are you scared ?

Daiyousei : ………

[The following dialog in italics only occurs if Cirno's relationship with Daiyousei isn't going well

Sunny : Alright. In that case, we'll protect you, Dai-chan.

So let’s go defeat that celestial with Cirno and the others.

Luna : That's right. Dai-chan, everything will be fine as long as we’re together.

Daiyousei : But if someone gets hurt...

Star : It'll be fine. We're all together in this. So there's no need for you to worry.

Daiyousei : O-Okay... ]

Cirno : Dai-chan...

Hmm... Which way is better... ? Hmm, hmm...

Letty : The choice is up to you, Cirno.

Do we settle this quickly, or do we defeat the one who manipulate these corpses first... ?

We’ll follow your decision either way.

One turn later

Yoshika : H-Huh ? My arm came off.

Master Seiga, can you fix iiit ?

Seiga : My my... They did terrible things to my Yoshika, didn’t they ?

Welcome back, Yoshika. I'll fix you up now. Let’s keep going together, this time.

Yoshika : Okay ! Thanks, Master Seiga !

*Seiga and Yoshika forms a duo

Seiga : Now, show them your true powers.

Yoshika : I'll show theeeem !

Several turns later

Minoriko : Let's bring the harvest to the human village ~ ♪

Iku : Oh, this is the harvest goddess.

Are you going to make the crops bear fruit? Thank you for your hard work, as always.

Minoriko : Ah, you seem like someone who understands my importance.

Iku : There’s a close connection between rice cultivation and thunder, you know ?

This is why I can’t help but feel a sense of familiarity with the Aki goddesses.

Minoriko : Hehehe, I’m happy to learn someone appreciates us.

In that case, I’ll give you this !

Iku : This is… roasted sweet potatoes ?

They have a nice flagrance, and they look very delicious.

Minoriko : Riiight ? This is my specially made roasted sweet potatoes ! Come on, give them a try !

Iku : Thank you very much. I’ll try them right away…

… ! This is… ! This faint sweetness, flagrance spreading… and this fluffiness…

I didn’t know there were sweet potatoes this delicious…

Minoriko : Oh stop, you make me feel embarrassed when you eat them with such enjoyment.

But I’m happy. When I see you this delighted, it makes the effort I put in growing them worthwhile.

Iku : I’m grateful to be able to taste something this wonderful.

Minoriko : Hehehe, I think we could become good friends. I hope I can meet you again someday.

Iku : Of course. I’ll look forward to have a relaxed conversation with you the next time we meet.

Minoriko : Yes. And I’ll treat you to some special sweet potato shochu.

Well then, I’ll be going now. See you soon !

Iku : Alright. Good luck with your work.

Minoriko : Thanks. [she leaves]

Iku : … A special sweet potato shochu…?

Hehehe, I’m really looking forward to it.

Tenshi : Iku !

Iku : Ah, what is it ?

Tenshi : I don’t know why, but you’ve been chatting with some folks lately…

Aren’t you motivated to fight !?

Iku : I am. Even if it is just a hundredth of your motivation.

Tenshi : So you have no motivation at all !

Iku : It’s not equal to zero.

Tenshi : … Well, whatever. Just help me out when the time comes, okay !?

Iku : Of course, of course. I got it.

When anyone fights Seiga

Seiga : My my. These children seem to be full of energy. However, being too energetic might not be a good thing.

Hehe, or perhaps I’m just otherthinking things.

When Yuuka is close to Seiga

Seiga : This woman seems to be their greatest strength... In that case...

Yuuka : ... You look like you want to say something. Out with it, then.

Seiga : No, it's nothing important. I just thought that you have such wonderful powers.

Yuuka : Is that really all ? I don't think so. Just get to the point, I don't like it when you beat around the bush.

Seiga : You're quite impatient, aren't you ? Alright, then.

Hey, you. Wouldn't you like to get even stronger ?

Yuuka : ......

Seiga : You'd like to, right ? In that case, I have good news for you.

Here, this amulet will amplify your powers, you should try using it.

Yuuka : And what benefit would you get from me using it ?

Seiga : What benefit are you talking about ?

Actually, this amulet is a prototype, and I would like to see if it works.

So basically, it's a test.

Yuuka : Well, to be frank, I don't hate this kind of thing.

Seiga : So ? Do you want to try it ?

Yuuka : I'll try it to check the effects.

Seiga : Thank you. Then I'll give it to you right away... Hehehe.

Wriggle : Huh ? Yuuka-san...? Yuuka-san !?

What do you think you're doing, Yuuka-san !?

Yuuka : ......

Seiga : How wonderful... I feel amazing power...

I don't think it would be a problem to use it as fragrance, right ?

Well then, it's time to put my manipulation skills to the test, hehehe.

Yuuka : ......

Wriggle : Yuuka-san ! Pull yourself together, Yuuka-san !!

Aya : It's no use ! It would be too dangerous to approach her right now !

Wriggle : B-But...

Letty : Yuuka Kazami... I can't believe you would fall to such a trick...

Aya : It wouldn't be a good idea to confront her.

This place is...

Wriggle : Yuuka-san...

One turn later

Seiga : Now then, my new puppet, shall we go ?

Get rid of those fairies and youkais.

Yuuka : ......

Seiga : Oh ? She's not moving. Don't tell me I failed in my manipulation techniques ?

Hey, what's the matter ? Go and attack those fairies.

Yuuka : ......

Seiga : Huh, it looks like this isn't working.

There's no helping it, then. Let's just say I managed to neutralize the enemy's most powerful force.

Letty : She's acting strange...

Aya : Yeah. It might be a good idea to keep an eye on the situation there.

Wriggle : ......

Another turn later

Yuuka : ... I see, so this is what it feels like to be controlled.

Good grief, what an unpleasant feeling to not being able to move the way you want.

Seiga : Eh...? My amulet... It's been broken...?

Yuuka : Well, that was a pleasant experience. I feel like my body has become lighter, somehow.

I shall thank you for this.

Seiga : Ah, ahahaha... This is what matters the most. Now then...

Yuuka : Oh, wait a second.

Seiga : Err... But I need to go have a word with the celestial other there...

Yuuka : But I haven't showed my gratitude... yet.

Seiga : O-Oh my. That wouldn't be necessary...

Yuuka : Now now, there's nothing to be shy about, hehehe...

If Seiga was defeated when Yuuka was still being controlled

Yuuka : … Ah.

Letty : Yuuka… !?

Wriggle : Yuuka-san… ! Are you back to yourself !?

Yuuka : … What a bore. I planned to express my gratitude to her once I dispelled her spell…

I already broke free from her control.

Wriggle : Eh… ? E-Err… ?

Yuuka : You didn’t have to go through the trouble of defeating that hermit, since I can break this kind of spell on my own.

Letty : … I see. My apologizes for doing something unnecessary.

Yuuka : Whatever. I shall give you my thanks this time.

Thank you for your help, it was much appreciated.

Wriggle : Ah… Y-Yeah.

Yuuka : Now, that celestial is next, right ?

Let’s continue then, hehehe.
