Ah, back in the swing of things. Feels good, doesn't it?

I think it's about time learned some plot things, eh?

Your jaw clenches even as your new fists do. You're drawing a good few stares- it isn't surprising, considering you're an obviously-angry middle-school girl with glossy-black arms and legs that are very clearly prosthetic. The stares are doubly unsurprising, if one considers the fact that you're sitting in the waiting room of a hospital.

Your new arms are impressive, you must admit, but they sicken you at the moment. They sicken you because your “mother” “gave” them to you.

And, while you were out, she used the members of your gang for her experiments.

You always knew the bitch was crazy- she tore one of your legs off the first time you asked if you were supposed to have a surname- but you never thought she was a liar. So, when she told you that the gas she was developing would empower espers, you assumed that was that.

When she said you'd see your friends again, you assumed that was that.

In a way, she never really 'lied' to you, per se. She just neglected to tell you that her precious “Paradigm Shift” project would drive espers insane, failed to mention that you'd see your gang again... in the hospital.

Your gang was a gang of espers whose abilities had... limitations. Downsides, like needing an object to be airborne in order to use telekinesis on it, or being unable to use Electromaster powers without something providing an electric current. There are twenty or so of them, and you care for each and every one.

It makes sense, in a way. That bitch who calls herself your mother things espers are the next stage in human evolution, so performing her experiments on espers who she considers too weak to be allowed to live is only logical: if it worked, she'd make their existences worthwhile (in her eyes, at least); if it failed, she'd be rid of a few more undesirables.

The doctor who looks kinda like a frog walks up to you and hands you a clipboard. You flip through the pages, scanning each one with eyes starved for good news.

They're all the same.

They're all losing their minds, even as their central nervous systems deteriorate.

If you were to try and find a bright side, it would be that this doctor seems to have managed to stabilize them- if the medical jargon you're reading means what you think it means, he might even have a method in mind to repair the damage your mother's gas has done.

But they're still irredeemably insane.



You are Fate, a genetically-engineered, cybernetically-enhanced Level 3 (Tactile) Fulgurkineticist of your insane mother's own design, and you're feeling something that could most certainly be called 'righteous fury'.

You move your hand to rest on the minimized form of Bardiche, the technological marvel of a battle-axe that your so-called mother was foolish enough to give you, and a thought occurs to you.

“Mother” always used your friends as leverage to force you to do what she wanted... and now she's gone and broken them.

Is she stupid, or just too crazy to realize what she's done? Or does she not consider you a threat worthy of her attention? Is her project almost finished, to the point where she no longer needs you to do her dirty work and no longer believes you capable of stopping her?

As you sit and fume and contemplate and try not to cry, the room slowly-but-surely empties.

You don't even notice the fluffiness pressed against you at first- your legs are completely devoid of nerves, after all, and the only parts of your prostheses that have tactile sensation are your hands- it is only when the creature hops up into your lap and onto the remaining flesh-and-blood portions of your legs (your prostheses start a couple of inches above the knee) that you notice it.

It has soulless red eyes, odd fluffy things protruding from its ears, and an absurdly poofy tail.

You're wondering when they started letting freaky cat-things into hospitals when a voice resonates clearly through your mind. [Hello, Fate. Would you like to save your friends?]

You stare at it.

That fucking cat-thing just talked.

No, there was no speech involved.

This is far, far worse.

That cat-thing just communicated with you by means of FUCKING TELEPATHY.

Regardless, you might as well humor it, right? After all, it's sitting in your lap, and they don't call your ability 'Tactile Fulgurkinesis' for nothing- if it tries anything funny, you'll fry it up like a bizarre stereotype.

You nod. Obviously, you want to save your friends.

[Good! I thought you might. I have come to the understanding that humans will go to absurd lengths to preserve the well-being of those they care for.] It tilts its head at you. [You may call me Kyuubey.]

You narrow your eyes. “Cut to the chase. How can I save them?”

[Well, when you put it that way, /you/ can't. However, granting such a wish is easily within my capabilities. All I ask in exchange is that you make a contract with me and help me save the universe!]

… Somehow, the combination of beginning that last sentence with “All I ask” and ending it with “save the universe” triggers a few alarm bells in your mind.

You poke a finger into its forehead. “Details. Now. What kind of contract are we talking, here, and how the hell am I supposed to help you 'save the universe'?” You weren't even aware the universe needed saving, after all. How can you save something if you don't even know it needs to be saved?

[All that making a contract with me entails is allowing me to separate your mind from your body, place it in a much more efficient crystalline vessel that will improve your power significantly, and then doing your best to befriend a girl named Takamichi Akari!]

You blink. What? The concept of an artificial container for your mind doesn't much concern you, given a good portion of you is artificial in the first place, but what the hell kinda deal is that? Is this Takamichi chick some sort of socially inept freak with universe-saving powers or something?

Kyuubey answers your questions before you manage to figure out words to ask them with. [My race wishes to prevent the Heat Death of the Universe by overcoming Entropy. Takamichi Akari is the subject of a human project called “Sol Aeternam,” which aims to duplicate Takamichi Akari's ability in order to sustain stars indefinitely. Thus, we wish to ensure this project's success. However, there are innumerable variables that could undermine her progression and doom the universe to its eventual demise.]

So, he's gonna put you in a rock, beef up your powers, heal your friends, and work towards saving everything that is/was/will be... and all you've gotta do is agree and hang out with some girl?

[That's the gist of it, yes. However, I should warn you that your Psi-stone will, for all intents and purposes, be a second 'brain', albeit one that doesn't have to waste processing power on maintaining biological functions. Your body and your original brain will adapt to being freed the burden of supporting your intellectual mind over time- this will likely lead to a huge increase in efficiency across the board. If your Psi-stone is destroyed, though, you'll die just like you would if someone were to smash your face with a big rock right now.]

Hm.

Breaking your new brain will be something to avoid.

That's pretty intuitive, really.

Hmm. Seems too good to be true. You decide to grill the cute little bastard for things 'hidden in the fine print'. “Is there anything else I should know? What's being a Psi-stone like, anyways? Are they fragile? Have you done this before? Does it make me vulnerable to mind-control or something?” You frown. “Also, how are you going to help them, anyways?”

Kyuubey tilts his head. [You're very thorough, and hesitant to trust me. That's good. Takamichi Akari is a clever enough girl, and very smart for a human, but she is also very... good.]

He un-tilts his head and continues, [Thinking too many overly-lewd thoughts could result in your Psi-stone being dirtied, I suppose, but that's something that's rather easily fixed- all you need to do is 'vent' your inappropriate thoughts through inappropriate actions. I doubt you'll be needing to do that anytime soon. Additionally, if your body is separated from your Psi-stone by more than a few hundred meters, you'll experience significant... lag, in the actions of your body, as the signals your Psi-stone will send are rather complex.]

[I can't say what being a Psi-stone is like, because I have never experienced it before. My species does not have the capacity for psionic power development, as we are- like most species we've encountered thus far- incapable of irrational thought. Psi-stones are actually very sturdy, on the order of quartz or perhaps even diamond. They /can/ be repaired, but to do so is to perform brain surgery on a super-compact crystalline structure, so there are no guarantees there- the only things you can expect to break your Psi-stone are deliberate attempts to do so, or at least deliberate attempts on your life.]

>Thinking too many overly-lewd thoughts could result in your Psi-stone being dirtied, I suppose, but that's something that's rather easily fixed- all you need to do is 'vent' your inappropriate thoughts through inappropriate actions.
Too lewd!
>>
His ears twitch twice, and he wiggles his fluffy white body in a way that almost makes it look like he's uncomfortable. [I have been working with a group of human scientists on a project they call “Reality Override” for quite some time now, forming contracts with espers in exchange for their assistance in ensuring the success of Sol Aeternam as I now am with you. They seem to be very interested in the formation of Psi-stones, which they seem to believe will enable humanity to reach new heights or some-such. I have formed several contracts, now. All of my contractees are alive and well, if that's what you're afraid of- though one of them seems to have become an alcoholic once more, and another has some excessive lewdness that she struggles to vent properly.]

He pauses, as if contemplating something, and chases his tail -once, twice, three times- before settling on your lap once more. [Considering the methodology of most mind-affecting esper abilities, I daresay your Psi-stone would give you a huge advantage over them- most seem to affect either the firing of neurons or the chemistry of the brain, so having your mind stored in a Psi-stone, which has none of those things, means you should be invulnerable to most “mind-control” powers.]

[As for how I can help your comrades, I offer you a quote from a human scholar: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Suffice it to say that my species is so far advanced that our primary concern is currently the prevention of the Heat Death of the Universe. Repairing the neural degradation caused by the one who constructed you and calls herself your 'mother' should be child's play.]

To be fair, Quarz is very hard. Its just also brittle as hell.

“Wait, you said it'd be as sturdy as quartz? How sturdy is that, anyways? I mean, I know it's a 9 on the hardness scale, but-”

[I am neither a geologist nor an Earth-geologist. I merely wished to use familiar-sounding terms in order to simplify my explanation. If you'd like, I could attempt to explain the formation of a crystal lattice that provides pathways for human cognition...?]

You wave your hands in front of the catlike creature. “No, no, that won't be necessary.” You didn't come for a geo-lecture. “Are there any side-effects I need to worry about? What's my predicted life-span if I go through with this?”

[Other than the ones I mentioned earlier, the only side-effects I can foresee are positive ones- your brain and body becoming more efficient as time goes on, the formation of redundancies in your original brain to ensure proper functioning, an increase in your body's ability to repair itself and metabolize, and so on and so forth.] Kyuubey flicks his tail across your legs and thinks for a moment.

[I have not been able to record data on the actual lifespans of previous contractees, as they have all taken place within the past few years. However, there is nothing that indicates that your life will be shortened at all as a result of Psi-stone formation, and there are multiple indications that your life will be prolonged significantly, on account of the improvements in your body. The Psi-stone itself will never expire, and it wouldn't be too much of an extension of the imagination to think that you'd be able to will a new one into existence by the time such things became a concern.]

… Will a new body into existence? You just shock things...

“What kind of improvements in my powers are we looking at, here?”

[Well, the formation of a Psi-stone makes the creation of a Personal Reality much easier, and allows you to perform calculations without also having to maintain bodily functions at the same time. Your output will be the first change, as it will increase drastically. After that, your powers will expand and become less and less limited as time goes on. Eventually, you may become a true psion, able to bend reality to your will as you please.]

… Sick. You can definitely get into that. One thing still bothers you, though.

“You said there would be 'innumerable' things trying to stop this Takamichi girl from doing her thing. Why? And what kinds of things are we talking, here?”

[It is difficult to say. The woman who calls herself your mother, for example, or perhaps those who do not wish to see more Level 5 espers in this world. There are also things that my species has yet to explain in play, here, things that you could call 'magic'. The odds stacked against Takamichi Akari are impossible to calculate at this time, I'm afraid, but I fear they may be dire indeed.]

“And what do you want me to do about it?”

[Simple. I want you to be her friend, like I said before.] He turns to look at the clipboard that doctor left. [You've already shown that you'll do anything to protect those you care for, after all, and these ones will need to remain in captivity for some time while their central nervous systems undergo reconstruction and reconfiguration.]

You frown. “Reconfiguration?”

[Oh. I apologize for misunderstanding. I merely assumed that you wished them cured of their mental instabilities-]

“No, nevermind, I thought you might've meant something else.”

[I see. You humans /are/ prone to misunderstandings, after all.] He spins again. [Well? Would you like to make a contract?]

… You're Takamichi Akari, a pretty ballin' Pyrokineticist living and defending justice in Academy City, and this is really weird.

Like, REALLY weird.

When you woke up, your head was pillowed in Mato's still-big lap, and you were lying on a comfy couch in Mato's onee-chan's apartment. Across from you, Miku-san was lounging in Nee-chan's lap, with her legs over the arm-rest of their one-person chair.
Sitting next to Mato was a blonde girl with twintails that pale in comparison to Mato's and cool metal limbs that remind you of that newer Deus Ex game that Nee-chan played and said wasn't that bad.

A red-haired girl with hair that's more pig-tails than twin-tails walked in, brandishing some sort of fancy wizard staff or something, and Mato began rubbing a spot in the air above the blonde's lap the same way one would pet a cute kitty.

The blonde girl was blushing by that point, apparently because of the pig-tails-orange-hair girl or something.

You weren't really listening to any of this.

Still aren't, in fact.

A small part of you- maybe a fifth?- wants to wake up and ask just what the heck Mato's doing to that poor, innocent, not-you girl.

But the other eighty percent or so thinks that you need some new HEAT RAY BLING after taking out everyone and their dog by sheer force of BEAM earlier today.

Your initial thoughts are blue- blue flames are hotter, so blue Heat Rays are also probably hotter, too; pink, because it'd be cute; pink with little hearts, because it'd be SUPER CUTE; and PRISMATIC, because FREAKING RAINBOW BEAMS!

You also consider black or something, because that might be pretty cool?

Really, you can do whatever you want.

You let out a soft “nnnnn” as you snuggle into Mato's lap a bit more snugly, rolling over and pressing your face into her abdomen.

It's gotta be rainbows, obviously. You're not sure how you could ever have contemplated anything else.

Prismatic might not work quite the way you'd like, but it's your Heat Ray, darnit, and you want rainbows!

>[d100 Reality is Unreleastic check!]

You feel a pretty swell sensation from Mato's hand as she laces her fingers through your hair and begins stroking your head. Your whole body relaxes even further, and you find yourself slowly drifting off to sleep...

As much as you'd like to sleep, the combination of your groggy alteration of your Personal Reality and the presence of two strangers- one of whom is close to your future wife!- means you can't just lie down and snooze!

YOU'VE GOT STUFF AND THINGS TO DO!

You reluctantly extract your face from heaven and regard the two newcomers. Mato stops stroking your head as you sit up, much to your disdain, but you don't mention it because if she kept it up you'd fall asleep.

“You...” You mutter, fixing the blonde with a sleepy stare, “Who are you and why is my wife petting the air above your lap?” You look up at the wizard-pigtails girl. “Who are you and why are you a wizard?”

You don't give them time to answer. “Are you a communist? A terrorist? A human-trafficker? A drug-runner? Are you with the cartels? Or are you a contract killer? Have you ever been in a Turkish prison? Do you believe in life after love? Have you consumed alcohol in the past six hours? Have you used marijuana for the purpose of obtaining a 'high' within the past three days, four hours, and thirty-two minutes? Have you made any deals with extra-terrestrial beings in the past twenty-four hours? Are you a robot? A vampire? The devil herself? Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? Is mayonnaise an instrument?”

The blonde blinks twice and frowns. “I'm Fate; Tsuruya-san is petting Kyuubey, so I don't know what you're talking about; no; no; no; no; no; no; no; I dunno, maybe; no; uh, no; yes; at this point I don't even know anymore; no; I don't think so; no, and I don't wanna know about any scars, either; and only if you mean 'instrument of torture' or something.”

… You don't know what to think of this 'Kyuubey', and, combined with her being maybe-kind-of-a-robot and having consorted with the accursed xenos within the last day, you're not sure if she's quite sane or not.



You nod at her. She seems mostly alright.

You look at the wizard, who nods. “[MY DESIGNATION IS 'MOKARIN', AND I AM NOT A WIZARD.] I'm also not old enough to understand any of the references I'm sure you just made. I am, however, an artificial being.” She points at Miku and Nee-chan. “Those are my parents, their names are Mother and Father. Father is the female with the red hair and the lewdness, and Mother is the innocent-but-somewhat-ditzy female with the ridiculously-long turquoise hair.”

You nod at her. You always expected Nee-chan to get some poor, helpless girl pregnant with a robot baby some day. At least she seems to be taking responsibility.



What do you do, now?
>Go to sleep, your work here is mostly done.
>Inquire about Fate's dealing with aliens.
>Inquire about Fate's imaginary friend.
>Ask Mokarin what being a robot is like.
>Ask Mokarin why she has a staff if she isn't a spellcaster. Did she take some bizarre prestige class or something? Is she proficient with it?

You lick the nib of the pen you pulled out of nowhere and tap it on the edge of the notepad that materialized from the aether, then adjust the glasses that you've never worn before and won't ever wear again- because they don't exist- and clear your throat.

“So, Mrs. 'Fate'- if that is your real name- would you mind telling me more of your associations with the aliens? When did this occur, how did you escape with your life intact, what did they look like, how many fatalities were there, etc., etc..” You trail off. “Standard battery of questions, of course. I'd also love to hear more about this 'Kyuubey' you mentioned earlier, and your last name, if you'd be so kind.”

She tilts her head at you. “Uh, it is. Kyuubey /is/ the alien, I met him an hour or two ago. We walked? He looks like a fluffy cat-thing, but with weird floofy things sticking out of his ears. Nobody died, but my friends are in the hospital, which is also where we were- but Kyuubey's helping them to not die, so there were no fatalities?”

She scratches the back of her head and looks uncomfortable. “I, uh, I don't really have a last name. Test-tube baby with a wannabe-Disney-villain mother and no father that I know of.”

You're writing all of this down, of course.

“Given Mato was petting this 'Kyuubey', I'll assume that it exists and that it isn't hostile. Also, I'm sorry to hear about your friends. I'm sure they'll be fine. This /is/ Academy City, after all. Also, you should get a last name, even if you need to make one up, and I'd like to know what, exactly, it is that makes your mother a villain.”

“She's the head of a project called “Paradigm Shift.” Basically, she's gonna release this weird gas into the atmosphere, and it's going to drive every esper alive completely insane- assuming it doesn't just kill us all, anyways. My friends were in the hospital because she tested it out on them while she was having my arms replaced.” She holds up her super-cool robot arms to emphasize the point.

You make an extra special note in your notebook:
>FATE'S MOM IS SUPER-CRAZY, ALSO SUPER-EVIL. DON'T ACCEPT ANY SWEETS FROM HER.

You turn and look at Mokarin. “What's it like, being a robot? Also, why do you have a staff if you're not a wizard? Do robots get a free staff proficiency these days or something?”

She stares blankly at you. “What's it like, being an organism? Also, this is my weapon. Its designation is [RAGING HEART]. It is a directed energy weapon of extremely high quality, complete with an internal power supply and a basic on-board computer.” She pauses. “Also, yes, I am proficient in the application of RAGING HEART in combat situations, as it was programmed into me by Mother.”

You don't write this down, because you're too busy doodling pictures of Fate and Mokarin holding hands and blushing.

Mato looks at your notepad and gives you a Look.

The message conveyed by her Look is: 'MokarinXFate OTP'.

Or maybe it's 'You really need to go to sleep, Akari-chan.'



It's pretty hard to tell sometimes.

Your kung fu proves far too weak for invisible xeno-snatching, though, and your lunge sends you plummeting towards the floor...

For the brief moment it takes for Mato to snatch you out of the air with her strong, strong arms...

“... Kyuubey says you can't see him because he doesn't want you to, and the reason for that is a secret or something. He's helping my friends because I agreed to form a contract with him and... do him a favor.” Fate smiles a clearly-not-sincere-but-definitely-genuine smile, like that of someone trying to avoid telling you that your goldfish is already dead but not wanting to lie to you about it either.

You pout. “Why does it want Mato to see it, then?”

“Because he considers Mato to be a potential contractee. He also does this little cringe-thing every time you call him an 'it'. I think you're offending him.”

Oh.

Yeah, maybe that's a bit... racist? What the heck is it, anyways? Species-ist? Isolationist?

You offer an awkward apology that's several minutes long and ends with, “...it's not you, Cube-y, it's me.”

You lean into Mato more, wrapping your arms around her and burying your face in her neck.

“No contracts with spooky/fluffy invisible aliens, Mato. That's a rule...” Your eyes begin to drift closed as you take in the smell of Mato, which smells a lot like VICTORY at the moment. “You hear that, six-sides-san? I have dibs on Mato, so you can't have her. She's mine, mine, all mine! Muahaha-ZZZZZ”

You're certain of one thing, at least: you can't do what she wants you to do.

You're not sure why, but that's the feeling you get.

She was just talking about forcing wills onto others and stuff, right?

Well, why not see how SHE likes it?!

You'll conjure up some trouble!

This IS your dream, after all.

It doesn't take you long to figure out what form of trouble you want to conjure.

“HAVE SOME GODZILLA, YOU CRAZY OLD TITTY-MONSTER!”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trZLaZ15-Ns

The roar of the beast drowns out the crazy lady's speech as the big G bursts through the walls of what you now recognize as a stadium of some sort, sending debris and chairs and dust flying everywhere.

You look back at the woman to see that she hasn't so much as batted an eyelash.

In fact, she's staring right at you with cold, unfeeling eyes.

She knows as much as you do that Godzilla isn't real.

As soon as you have that thought, the humongous lizard disappears.

The look on her face is somewhere between expetant and disgusted.

It's as you stagger, as you falter, that she does something unforgivable.

She tilts back her head... and laughs.

Now, there aren't many things in this world that'll set you off.

But this... this BITCH IS LAUGHING AT YOU.

AND IT'S PISSING YOU OFF.

YOUR WRATH IS LIKE THE WHITE-HOT FURY OF A THOUSAND THOUSAND THOUSAND SUNS.

You barely even notice as something sputters, crackles, and finally pops out of the base of your skull.

You can't hear it over the roaring vortex of fire that is whirling around you.

A massive ball of flame bursts from your mouth as you open it to bellow, “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LAUGHING AT, YOU PSYCHOTIC BITCH?!”

This seems to attract her attention- she stops laughing and gapes at you.

Her eyes go wide as you fix her with a withering glare full of hatred the likes of which you have never before known.

“WHAT'S WRONG? I'M JUST CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT YOU FOUND SO ENTERTAINING! PLEASE, ENLIGHTEN ME!”

The stadium is melting around you.

She looks afraid, and is beginning to slowly back away from you.

You surge forward with the flames.

YOU ARE FIRE.

“WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR A JOKE, THEN? HERE, COME, STEP INTO MY OFFICE!”

She stumbles and falls on her ass when you surge forward and get in her face, and stammers, “Wh-wh-what? Why?”

You laugh.

“BECAUSE... YOU'RE FUCKING FIRED!” You cackle as your flames swallow her up.

She screams in fear, or terror, or pain- you don't really care.

“BURN! BURN AND DIE!” You laugh harder. “I AM FIRE! I AM DEATH!”

She screams louder.

You raise the heat and laugh.

“WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?! I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT! IT'S NOT YOU!”

He let us change something, then changed it back and gave us crazy lady, with no indication as to why.
He then took away Godzilla, with no indication as to why, except for the low rolls.
So if I'm meant to interpret 'failure despite high roll' as 'you're not allowed to do that', I'm getting some really mixed signals.

I'm also kinda out of it due to having a pretty bad case of the Flu, so maybe the problem's on my end.

The flu sucks, I'm surprised you can read at all.

You were meant to interpret it as 'successful failure'. You managed to summon Godzilla long enough for him to make a pretty big mess, and it made her stop her crazy ranting and piss you off, which is really just about the best thing that could have happened at that point.

You are Akane Takamichi, a Level 4 esper living with your younger sister in a strange little town called Academy City.

You were the first esper to contract with Kyuubey as a part of Project Reality Override, and you're the most powerful by a large margin.

If your powers were something you focused on or even acknowledged more than 'from time to time', you'd probably reach Level 5 in no time at all.

But they aren't, so you won't.

Being Level 4 suits you just fine, anyways. Pay's still good, and people don't come along and try to kill you or use you for freaky experiments or figure out just why the hell you're so stupidly strong.

Your ability is pretty damn broken, though. They've got some stupid name you can't be bothered to remember for it, but basically you can steal other espers' abilities.

Thing is, you've gotta learn how to use them the good old-fashioned way, and you have to maintain contact with the target (or, at the very least, anything containing their DNA) for a not insubstantial amount of time to properly and completely gain the power. That time period varies from case to case, naturally, but it's always at least a few seconds.

There's also the fact that your using their ability tends to really mess with them- they can't use their ability whatsoever, 'cause yours messes with their AIM or their Personal Reality or some-such bullshit, and a lot of the time they pass out, too.

So, the end result is that you've mostly got a whole shitload of near-useless powers that you can use at Level 1 or 2 quality, and only a few that you can use at Level 3 or 4.
>>
>>33930556
What the hell kind of personal reality do you need to get something like THAT?
>>
Fortunately, this situation you find yourself in right now- Akari-chan spontaneously combusting in her sleep and giving poor Mato-chan some not-insignificant burns, as well as scaring the pants off of that Fate girl and sending Miku-chan into a frenzied panic as she tries to figure out why her chip didn't stop this from happening- is exactly the kind of thing you can deal with, no questions asked.

Well, there were some questions that were asked, like the ones about why you were wearing Akari-chan's panties on your head, but, hey. Everyone's gotta make sacrifices, right?

Your Psi-stone flashes with a purple light that matches your eyes as you pull it out of your super-secret hiding place, and you hold it close to your chest as you focus on summoning forth the power of fire!

You snap your fingers, and a tiny flame sparks to life a safe distance above them (because fire is HOT).

As your tiny flame mewls to life, Akari's huge roaring fire sputters out and dies.

Kyuubey hops out of Fate's arms and pads up to you, that same blank expression as always adorning his little face. [Excellent thinking, Takamichi Akane. I knew I made the right decision when I contracted you.]

Miku gapes at you. Her eyes are all sparkly, like a kid in a candy store. “So that's your ability...”

Mato immediately grabs Akari and pulls her into an embrace that looks like it may well be painful for all involved, especially with those burns Mato's sporting. Fate looks confused, and is standing by Mokarin, who also seems confused.

Also, the couch is still kinda smoldering.

Oh well! All in a day's work!
>>
>>33930556
d only a few that you can use at Level 3 or 4.

>A free-spirited one. The kind you get when mum and dad say, "You can be anything you want to be," and you say to yourself, "being one thing sounds really boring."

I think this is a pretty good stopping point for today. Or yesterday, as the clock seems to tell me.

That was a pretty long thread, but, hey, I had to delay it and we had a short-ish thread last time... I think. I know we started late due to shenanigans last time, but I can't recall if it was extra long or not!

OH WELL.

If you've any questions, feel free to ask them here or at ask.fm/EsperQuestQM

Not the process of copying, but the using of a copied ability- and only at close range.

If the whole psi-stone thing makes abilities work better, then why hasn't the koobs tried to stonify Akari?
>>
>>33930976
Which minor details are we talking about, here? Akari's tiredness? I started you out groggy and having been accidentally roused from a nap, then had you get less and less coherent every time you opted to not-sleep! You're not an expert on sleep science, so it's not surprising that you didn't realize how tired you were!
Especially given you were being shot at and running from the law mere hours ago!

>>33931025
Oh, you're getting talking-to, alright.
You fell asleep while Mato was carrying you, so she brought you to her place instead of reporting back. And then craziness happened. Mato didn't even get to touch any butt!

>>33931028
Yeah, see?! No butt-touching!
Mato's already getting the itch.

>>33931034
She only knows because you showed her the one true pairing, anon
She wouldn't have noticed otherwise
How does it feel, helping people find true rabu rabu?

>>33931037
Because her abilities are increasing on their own, and because Psi-stones aren't entirely safe to make from people with high potential- can you imagine what would happen if, say, Akari suddenly jumped from where she is now to a full-blown Level 5?

She'd be unstable as fuck.

Akane didn't look for hand-burns, but they were present.
Fortunately, Big!Mato heals even more quickly than normal Mato does!

Would contracted Mato heal even fasterer?
>>
>>33931293
Would it be possible to take a golf club or a piece of rebar or something and smack Mato with it, causing the implement use to bend in a cartoony fashion?

I ask this not because I dislike Mato, it's actually the opposite. I quite like girls who have powers which allow you to smack them with things and not really hurt them. All the better of the thing you hit them with bends or breaks like you just smacked a large bag filled with ground-up lead.
>>
>>33931316
Contracted Mato wouldn't have needed to heal, anon.

>>33931363
I suppose.
But you'd have to find someone else strong enough to swing the object hard enough.
I bet BATTLE-BROTHER ABE could do it. I think his ability's low-level tactile telekinesis, and he's also FREAKING HUGE.

>>33931392
How likely is Mato to ignore our sleep-deprived words and contract anyway? She's got Fate and Akari's own sister there to help convince her it's okay.

What if we had Akane copy her power and then have Mato and Akane beat the crap out of eachother with bats?

That depends on what Kyuubey offers, and whether or not she needs to get that extra push to Level 4.
She's talked with him about this a few times before, actually.


>>33931417
That'd work, I suppose, but Mato's power is probably one of the ones that would take the longest to copy, given it affects the body physically.

Also, Akane wouldn't be able to transform- ever, under any circumstances- so she wouldn't truly be able to "use" Mato's power.

Mato's something of an oddity, to be honest.
>>
>>33931478
>She's talked with him about this a few times before, actually.

Mato knew Kyuubey before ?
>>
>>33931501
Yep.

I think she might have even mentioned him as Mami's cat.

Coincidentally, Mami's knowing Kyuubey is how Mato met him.

This should also be the point where you realize that Mami is quite crazy and not at all magical, if you hadn't already.

'Fulgur' is lightning. Think Electromaster bullshit, only without all of the 'hurr I can do X because magnetism' bullshit.
Fate shocks things by touching them, and good old mum used her power to power her totally sick robo-limbs and her snazzy-coolness-axe.

Now that she's contracted (which I didn't expect to happen for some time) she'll be learning how to do stuff at not-so-close ranges soon enough.

>>33931697
One of the sisters is Minami-chan in my mind, and if she shows up again (she's a decent esper, and thus a potential contractee, after all!) she'll probably have Yutaka-chan as her waifu.
But, no, I wasn't planning on adding any other Lucky Star girls.

Maybe in Fate's gang or something?

'Fulgurkinesis' commits the classic blunder of mixing latin and greek roots. Electrokinetic would be the usual term. You could also try Astrakinesis or Astrapokinesis, but those sound like your moving stars or just kind of dumb.

They were stable, according to Heaven Canceller. And he's da best.

Just, y'know, crazier than all hell!

Kyuubey's offer was not only to stabilize them, but to actually *fix* them, which wouldn't have been possible otherwise!

I'm glad, anon.

>>33931831
I'm well aware, anon, believe me.
I literally spent hours wondering if Astrakinesis was worth it.
I decided it wasn't.
Also, Electrokinesis is already a thing, and it's a thing that isn't psychic powers.
I've put far more thought than is probably healthy into stuff, anon.

Also, if you can look at the canon power names and tell me there aren't far worse turds than Fulgurkinesis, then I won't believe in you anymore.

You could have called it some other thing in the classic Raildex weird name schemes.

Yeah, you don't need to make it sound pseudoscientific, they use wacky names all the time. But (before she got an upgrade that may end up doing who-knows-what) I would suggest electrogenesis.

>she'll be learning how to do stuff at not-so-close ranges soon enough.
I'd rather she didn't. Touch-range electrostuff is cooler. If you could figure out some other level up thing that isn't just BLAST LIGHTNAN, that would be awesome.
>>
>>33931867
>The message conveyed by her Look is: 'MokarinXFate OTP'.
>Or maybe it's 'You really need to go to sleep, Akari-chan.'

>>33931935
Blasting lightning is cool though.

Just make it too expensive to use as a common attack, problem solved.
>>
>>33931730
>>33931935
Idea.

Electricity control espers should be able to disintegrate things by mucking with the charges holding it together.

What if her level up gives her touch-range disintegration? It'd be pretty neat.
>>
>>33931974
Disintegration claws would definitly be cooler than another lightning blaster.
>>
>>33931891
I considered that, but I couldn't make myself do it.
She's probably the most serious character I've got right now, y'know? I can't just go and give her power a blatantly-silly name!

You'll note I gave up on naming Akane and Mato's abilities, and I think I only ever mentioned the name of Mami's in conversation with players.

Naming things isn't my strong suit.

>>33931929
I kinda want to make it as clear as I can that her ability is quite different from Mikoto's, because she ONLY does electricity. And the other names I came up with were just plain awful.

>>33931935
>SHOCKING GRASP is still her main thing, anon, but it's impractical to never learn any ranged stuff!

>>33931949
Yeah, that too! I don't know about 'expensiveness', though. Just an in-character preference is fine, I think.

>>33931936
Anon, you need to know something about the way I write.
When I'm writing a character, I'm thinking as if I were them.

Does Precia know about QB granting wishes all over the place? Forcing Fate into a contract would make her sliiightly less cartoonishly evil.

So this is just going to get darker and darker, huh. Guess I won't bother hanging around.

Also, QM, stop including things if you're not ready for them. You're shitting this quest up with too much PLOT and not giving the players any time to process it; you're rapidly approaching the point where you do something that you think the players will be okay with, only to get buckets of shit thrown at you.
>>
>>33932238
This quest has a plot? The only plot we've seen is a thinly veiled excuse to include MAGICAL GIRLS.
>>
>>33932218
Nope!
He doesn't really 'grant wishes' in this case, either. He more does favors, I guess.

For example, Akane's "wish" included a non-flammable place for Akari to stay, and a way to support herself and her sister in Academy City- being bumped to Level 4 provided the finances, and Kyuubey didn't have any trouble fireproofing stuff.

>>33932238
>Darker
>Was it ever dark at all?
The 'darkest' things that've happened so far are the protagonist a lady who's literally worse than Hitler in a dream and having shady experiments done on people. They didn't even die.

If I wasn't ready for them, they wouldn't have happened. Not expecting something and not being prepared for it are two entirely different things.

ESP-type powers take less effort to learn, and are typically not as vastly different between levels, but simple abilities like Telekinesis are the easiest to get good at.
