>>3128343
For the sword I'd prefer either a longsword or a greatsword, for the gauntlets I'd prefer it to have just been large fists but maybe the corruption added claws, or spikes on the knuckles.

One of the thoughts I had about an unarmed specialization is that we might disarm enemies and use their weapons against them. I haven't a clue how 'corruption' works here, but if it could enable an ability like Fate/Zero Berserker's Knight of Owner, it'd be pretty kickass.

>>3128427
Well i have to explain what is "corruption"

Corruption is an amalgamation of negative emotion of people. These bad emotion took some kind of consciousness and became a monster your group is fighting for. If defeated they will become a pile of sludge and then sizzle into nothingness.

Well long story short the more you have corruption the more powerful you are.

>>3128448
Hm. So we can't physically infect other people or items with corruption or anything; it only originates from feeling like utter shit?

>>3128461

You took out your Greatsword jutting from the cold concrete floor and inspect it. It is now broken beyond repair where half of the sword is gone. But something happened. You hand suddenly became a shadow and merge the broken weapon. What happened next made you smirk. The weapon you have now is back in its own splendor save from the new design that is black overall. The weapon is now longer and the handle is also slightly longer. You heft the weapon in your shoulder and jumped onto the roof hole. Currently you are in some abandoned wharf outside of the city. The night sky is eerily dark where the moon is nowhere to be seen. Dark clouds are rolling by with an occasional roar of thunder yet there is no rain.

As you gaze through the city, memories came crashing down again. The happy ones, the sad ones and then the betrayal. The betrayal is so fresh in your mind your anger seethes through your being and gripping your weapon hard. You roared in anger and slammed the sword in one of the roof beams. The whole roof collapsed as every beam that is hanging to support each other broke down. You jumped down the warehouse and slammed a nearby container crate and hurled your sword like a baseball bat. The empty crate simply budged sideways and you resumed your rampage whatever to get out the anger in your system.

After sometimes you have calmed down and stood up with your exhausted body from your previous actions. Now that you are back on your city, What should you do now? You have a family. Should you come back home? Although your ex-friend probably said that you are dead or missing. But if you are going to exact revenge on your ex-teammates you should not to stand out too much. Or maybe test whatever you powers right now considering you have been "revived from the dead".

You need some king of staging point for your quest for revenge. You have been all over the city since you are the one doing patrols where any kind of abomination are seen. While the wharf here now is trashed beyond recognition you have several options here if you choose yourself.

>Ghetto Neighborhood: at the edge of the city is a neighborhood of several people who are living in room tenements inside a building. No sane person would go here unless you are one of them. May trigger a lot of unknown factors but nothing an intimidation would solve right?
>Abandoned Factory: a little ways on the wharf is an abandoned factory that was attacked previously by the black monsters you called “shadows”. No one will suspect a thing as long as no one manage to someone trail you.
>Red Light District: Down at the one side of city center where you and your ex-teammates avoid like a plague because of….certain liberties but now that you are dead no one will care right? To each on their own if there something like a saying here on that place.

Jumping around the area to feel your body to see how your physical movement is after floating on that void for how much long. Feeling confident that you are fast enough albeit slower from when you are at your peak (probably because you are fighting these things everyday) you stomach grumble eliciting a snarl in your part. It seems you are still human even though after you got out from that abyssal darkness.

Looking for the most deserted convenience store you see a bored man manning the counter. Your sword in the back hiding in the bushes. You look like crazy if someone saw you but you would literally cut them down if someone said that on your face.

And you forgot you don’t have money.

No need to get blood in our hands yet.

We should totally see if we can control monsters created by Corruption, if we can, then picking a place where monsters are most likely to spawn would be ideal.

>Abandoned Factory: a little ways on the wharf is an abandoned factory that was attacked previously by the black monsters you called “shadows”. No one will suspect a thing as long as no one manage to someone trail you.

A place previously attacked by them maybe has some traces of them we could follow to experiment.

As for the convenience store guy

>Just go in and get your stuff then get out
Maybe pull our sword out as we leave and tell him not to tell anyone about us. Since him talking about us or us leaving a murder scene could both give us away. If we do kill him however, make sure to mess up the body so it looks like it was done by one of the monsters.

>>3129105
>Just go in and get your stuff then get out
No need to kill innocents. Also, we don't want to start off our stay in whichever area we pick as out base of operations by being seen robbing a store. After we've gotten what we need, hightail it to somewhere on the other side of town. That said,

>Ghetto Neighborhood: at the edge of the city is a neighborhood of several people who are living in room tenements inside a building. No sane person would go here unless you are one of them. May trigger a lot of unknown factors but nothing an intimidation would solve right?
I'd say not intimidation. Better to find sympathy - we /are/ now homeless after being left for dead by people we once trusted after all - or even common ground if possible with the unwanted and the abandoned of society, and, in so doing, allies.

Go in and get your stuff wins but we have a tie between Ghetto and Abandoned Factory so im rolling between the two of them.

You decide that going in and get your stuff would be the best bet. And also avoid unnecessary or unwanted attention to yourself. You enter the store while you drag your sword on a cold tile floor. The man on the counter who almost dozing of is now wide awake from your stunt. You heft a small basket to yourself and fill it with ready to eat bento packs, litre of waters and some clothes to yourself specifically a hoodie. Then you smelled something sweet. You sniff it following this addicting sweet smell you can almost taste it until you arrive at the quivering man on the counter. Then you know what this sweet smell is.

Fear

You smiled at the man at the counter and asked him a question that he would not mind at all.

“Say would you give this to a poor little girl like me right?”

“B-but maam you need to pay for that.”

You glared at the man which make him shriek in fear the sweet smell is now intoxicating. You wonder what it taste like if you kill this man. But you going to let him live…for now.

You walk out towards the door and while the man wants to say something you turn your back and said

“You see nothing you hear? Or ill decorate this store with your guts.”

Fearing for his life he immediately goes at the back of the store probably to delete whatever store footage he has inside this store from where you come in. Satisfied you go to the one of the worst part of the town. Vandalized walls and shady individual lurks at every corner. No one dares to come near you because of the one big sword you lug around. There are a lot of open and abandoned space in the area because it is not viable for a normal person to live here. The place itself is crawling with low criminals, thugs and even crime syndicate which operates the city. While you didn’t bother pursuing justice on these people you sometimes deal with occasional thief or snatchers. Best to leave it to police for these criminal stuff you suppose.

After searching for some place you arrive at one small building. A 5 floor apartment complex where no one lives. There are floor holes and broken concrete stairs on the building. Perfect if you want to make this you hiding place. You jump off floor by floor searching for any room that is considered liveable. You settled on the 3rd floor which surprisingly have a bed and a dirty mattress and a broken table and chair. Setting your things below you see a half broken wall mirror. Looking at yourself you have a scar that trails from your left cheek down to your neck up in between your cleavage. Your clothes is semi-tattered giving you some kind of decency. You immediately tossed your battle-riddled clothes and put on new ones.
(1/2)

>>3129149
Eating one of the bento packs you taste the stale like taste of a store bought item. Yet that earlier thing with that man on the convenience store taste like…candy if you have to describe its own taste. You maybe be full now but the alluring taste of fear makes your meal taste like shit unlike the one you smelled earlier from that man.

Still what should you do now?

So uh... How visible is this corruption to normal people? We should probably check that in a mirror.
It seems like we could just go to school as normal and accuse the bitch of leaving us to die while leaving out that we're magical girls. Maybe setup some fake evidence so that investigations would show that she left us to die as bait for something or as part of a real attempt at murder?

>>3129509
...technically yes. they are supposed to be a more brutal police force compared to the normal green lanterns. And i think it was at the beginning of the year when both factions joined forced for a while and it worked rather well, with one faction being the good cop and the other the bad cop.

>>3129510
Or we can just stalk her and out of the corner of her eye she sees us everywhere. If she ever catches us we just make a scene in public like she's some freak harassing us.

>>3129510
...can we scream that she gang raped us with the rest of her friends? I think that's as brutal as you can get without murdering someone.

nonono, you don't get horror.
Going somewhere and announcing something is like showing your monster in the first few minutes of the movie.

First we need to figure out how much time has passed.
If it was little to no time I suggest mc can go back to school and just do something unsettling to the other magical girls. Like pretend to space out when they are talking to her or not recognize them.

Horror isn't a blunt tool to be swung like a jumpscare.
And we don't need to ruin their lives to make them sad or angry, we want them to know fear.

>>3129565
>And we don't need to ruin their lives to make them sad or angry

This is a great plus because killing them would be a mercy. They need to know that they will live a long and healthy life, with us making it as hellish as possible and being the driving force of every bad thing that happens to them. And when they decide to kill themselves? we'll save them and repeat the process again.

>>3129537
That's a bit easier to disprove, gets most of the (legal) punishment on some unlucky sap instead of on her if the police don't call us on our bullshit, some other things that I forgot while typing, and wont let us (as easily) go yandere on some poor boy in the future.
Plus it sounds a bit too fake to other magical girls compared to pissed off magical girl revenant avenging her murder. We (I) want something that means she's screwed even if some random group comes out of nowhere and defeats us because they realize that we were (mostly) telling the truth about her if possible.
>>3129565
You misunderstand. The fun part is that she can scream about us however she wants and noone will believe her. She's the mad person in the backstory of a horror movie that died warning everyone about the monster that the band of teenagers discover while looking through dusty old records.

The darkness react to your touch and you are hit with emotion that you know too well. All your anger, hatred and anything else are stored here. Your whole body is coated in darkness consuming your whole being letting it do its own thing. A minute later and you are released in your cocoon of darkness and a change of wardrobe.

Looking at yourself and comparing to your previous outfit which is a blue sailor outfit is now replaced with a gown like attire. In fact you are now questioning how this would be viable in case of combat. You ignore it for the time being and eye your sword which is leaning on the wall. You imagine gripping the sword as if it was there. The sword reacts and teleported instantly to your hands. Perfect.

Then you felt something else. Something is very familiar to you now. Corruption. Corruption is everywhere yet it is raw. Deep inside you feel hunger. You could also explore what you have now in your arsenal.

The stench is so sweet, so addicting you want to taste it, eat it even. Your inside rumble with joy as you let your body take its own where there is a high concentration of corruption. After several sneaky roof jumps and hiding out of plain sight, you are in a U building and see the sweet sweet corruption took place.

Shadowlings. Its one of those monsters you fought. Very weak but agile they will terrorize people whoever are feeling shit and now you see a boy quaking at his feet a fresh smell of piss and shaking in fear as 3 of these slowly approach this poor boy. You reach out of this feeling trying to make it something....solid? cohesive? nonetheless you want it. Siphoning it you can hear bits and thoughts of the young man,

"Please save me......I don't wanna.....please....save."

The Shadowlings are still standing there doing moves that would make the poor boy startle in fear.

Despite being betrayed, we're still the same person we were, who fought for good. Since corruption is explicitly not an extraneous perverting influence, but a manifestation of a person's internal negativity, I see no reason that we would act differently from how we would previously have done.

Bearing in mind, of course, the differing circumstances we're now in and the one fundamental change that is a sheer hatred for the ones who betrayed us.

Crafting a mask that would cover your face, you dropped down to the building hefting your blade and raise it to the unfortunate Shadowling and slash it vertically on the ground. The shadowling shrieks and then fade into nothingness. You feel a portion of that being merge into you. You immediately rushed to the second one stabbing him through the wall and also hiss into nothingness and also something merge unto you. The last one realizes that he is in danger tries to run away. You remember you have a sword bolt but you haven't tried it yet.

You rushed onto the lone shadowling and slash the creature. It dodges and now is moving all over the place banking on its nimbler movements you try to chase the creature but you are met with grazing cuts all over the place.

THIS

You stand on one spot to anticipate the monster and when you swing onto its path, it immediately change course and gave a grazing strike again.

CREATURE

Pissed off you wave your sword in anger while the shadowling masterfully dodges your clumsy big sword to a small creature. Then this creature attacked grazing your face with another grazing attack.

IS FUCKING ANNOYING

You are bleeding from the cuts. Black blood spills on the ground and hissing into air as it merges into your being. The shadow now blanket your whole being seeping its black ichor of your cuts and merge into your skin. Your anger now personified in your new look look at the big ball of stupid shadowling still jumping around taunting you that you can't hit it.

>Unlocked ????
>With enough damage you will enter a state of berserking fury that will kill its target no matter what....or die trying.

With newfound power you raise your hand and tendrils from your long hair and immediately target that small piece of shit a shadowling is called. The small one still masterfully dodges everyone of them but not for long. A tendril snapped on one on its feet and drag it towards you. You met the annoying little with with your sword loudly shrieking from its own demise. You roared in victory as the sun slowly rises up on the horizon. You jump off the area and goes whatever your senses lead you to.

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

You woken up with a splitting headache onto the cold stone. Groaning to yourself, you stand up and see your surrounding. You are in a forest....or whatever what is left as broken tree stumps and trees felled down all over the place. You stand up and just walk away as nothing will gain from pondering what is happening on this place.

Coming back from your long walk through almost half part of the city you are thinking how will you proceed to do with your powers. Seems like there is too much to learn but your growing anger towards your ex-teammates makes you clench your fist.

For information these are the girls

Sachiko Yumegawa – A charismatic leader with a warm smile on her face. Blonde hair and your senior you look up to her. That was back then because one day you’ll give her the worst nightmare of her life.

Rei Fukuda – The magically gifted one on your group. She can summon the 4 elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Wind magic and rain destruction to the enemies. A quiet one and probably a puppy servant with Sachiko. Would consider your friend. Not now.

Mari Okada – The haughty ojou for some reason became a magical girl. Her weapon is a bow and can snipe with homing arrows as long as he can see the opponent. Only attuned with Wind magic. Great friends with Sachiko.

You Mitsukoshi – Your classmate and your only friend. You go to school together and eat lunch together. You are practically inseparable. Both of you are neighbors and both of you got dragged in MG business. So much for your friend that is. Not proficient in anything as her skills are jack of all trades.

Kanna Rikudo – Your kouhai. Same as your powers which draws from your being physically rather than magically (although most part of it was magical) you train her as one in case one of them aren’t available. Only fought small creatures or medium ones albeit on the back looking out for any sneaky attacks from Shadowlings.

At least this is her opinion for now.

And try to figure out the current date. Maybe spend some time thinking of how to get her out the way since she's the biggest threat?

I don't think we're corrupted enough YET do this this but;
If she suddenly becomes an orphan and has to move to someplace else to be with relatives it would be tough for her to protect the group. Removing her makes things much safer.

How publicly are magical girls and the monsters known? The more secret everything is, the easier we can ruin their lives. eg Illusion magic to fool the cops into thinking the girls formed a bizarre drug cult, held us captive for beatings/torture for weeks, and the other dead magical girls are devil sacrifices Sachiko made before we crawl our of a mirror like a cross between Bloody Mary and Sadako to end her.

>>3130796
>How pubicly are magical girls and the monsters known?
As far the the public know it's only an urban legend. It's practically impossible for a normal people to notice it and only MG girls can notice a sudden spike of corruption beyond threshold levels so the only one knows is you and your friends. Anything else whenever a cop stops you, you just reason it as a cosplay or something on that line.

This will not do. One thing you remember having a hard time catching that shadowling and that buster only good thing is its own nimble speed. In fact they are pretty predictable when they are moving around with their set pattern. If a mere shadowling can outsmart you then how much when you fight your own ex-teammates? Cursing to yourself, you’re looking for some abandoned places around town. Thinking about the wharf back there gives you enough privacy to thrash around things with no one to see whoever is around. Also you don't even know what time or date it is currently so you elect to ask one along the way to the wharf.

After stealing a newspaper from an unsuspecting stand you see a headlines with a date on it.

DESTRUCTION ON GREENDALE FOREST RESERVE EXPLAINABLE,

It's been 2 months since your disappearance. Far too long for you and your friend to look out from. No in fact if your sword was left there to stand out means they didn't came back. Thinking about it makes you angry that you crumple the paper and then rip it in two. You swear you will exact revenge in leaving you alone.

Because you will be their worst nightmare.

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

Arriving at the wharf, your previous rampage is still here with dented container crates and some small crater-like on the concrete. You find a little clearing where the place is enough for your to train your newfound powers. Thinking about it you have in your arsenal back then you have Barrier which soaks any damage for as long as the damage isn’t higher than the damage dealt but you need someone to hit you to see how is your Barrier can last. Swordbolt which drawing a shock wave from your sword to your enemy but sadly It will hit any projectile which is easily blocked if there are lot of covers to hide from and also you need targets to make this work. And lastly your masterful swordplay which you pretty much use every time to defeat the enemy. Now that you mention it, you haven’t really practicing that much due to the team effort you have. What an irony. Then again will you train your own skill set or will you willing to tap from your powers and make a new one?

>42 - Minor Success
Stabbing the sword to the ground you start with stretching your body and do some warming up. After stretching up you go to your sword and start swinging. Remembering those times you fight with shadowlings, clashing up with shadowspawns up close and fighting shadowbanes. You relish every single one of them as slowly your muscle memory slowly coming back from all those fights you have already fought. Despite with the large lug of a sword you carry you stay light on your feet as you move around fighting one of your friends. In fact it made your blood boil and your adrenaline pumping as your stabs, slash and strikes are going faster and faster. After hours of working out and you feel like that you still need more brushing up with your skills

As you cooldown from all those workout and sword swinging, you relax yourself for a bit. Thinking for a moment you forgot that you have a family to return to. Even that your mother have been good to you and you have been a good daughter to her you feel obligated to know her whereabouts. Your father is already dead and you only have your mother to raise you. She must be devastated to say that you are probably missing or worse dead. You decide to look for the nearest police box or station.

After navigating to the city which you almost forgot since you really don't go to city that much, you found a police station with a bulletin board where missing people and notice board for wanted people are posted. Looking at your name and maybe your face proves to be difficult as there are many papers being covered together along with some of the recent disappearance of several people. You reckon that 90% of these people are either found dead or disappeared forever.

After sifting through numerous people missing you found your own name picture. Of course your mother would choose the one where you have wore your first high school uniform. Below is the contact of your mother and the address in case someone would find you. Still you could sneak home to see how it is. Or visit mother

>Maybe go with the plan of the anon that said to act like if nothing happened? Maybe give our mother a vague explanation of what our friends did to us.
That was me, and the suggestion was if barely time passed.
Now we need to come up with a proper excuse.
First we need to know what our mother knows about our magical-girl-ness. (Information which the QM should give us.)

2(3) options really:
our mother knews about us being a magical girl OR she didn't know but they told her after we were gone
Presumable she would have to report us missing by law and the note is just a matter of formality for what would appear normal to anyone else who doesn't know and only sees a child missing.
now if she didn't know and they didn't tell her we need to come up with an excuse

Eitherway I vote: Don't tell mom the truth.
2 months is quite some time,
some suggestions for an excuse are:
say we were kidnapped (which would mean there will be a police investigation and a lot of other shit)
say we don't remember (same thing as above)
or say we just ran away from home out of our own free will, which i personally don't like but would be our safest bet

>>3131458
>Train a power (more sword practice - we just noted that we still need to brush up)

One thing I feel we need to establish is the personality of our MC, because it'll inform the nature of our revenge.

For instance, if she's a rough, straightforward bruiser who doesn't care much for risks or odds, she might be liable to simply train herself up to the point where she can call our her old teammates and beat them up herself.

Conversely, if she's more of the cunning tactician type, she might favor a more subtle, risk-averse approach, and attempt to subvert their reputations and relationships, and break them mentally and emotionally that way.

It's notable that, as far as we know, corruption here isn't an external influence; it's the externalization of something internal within the person that's formed naturally. Our MC hasn't been turned into a mind-broken slave or had her personality drastically warped; she's the same person she was before, except just very, very angry.

So her core values will still be the same. If she fought for good, she'll still fight for good - except possibly in cases where she decides the chance for revenge outweighs that principle. If she values her friends and family, she'll continue to do so. And so on.

Which leads into this question: she might be angry at her erstwhile friends for wronging her personally, but does she view their actions - protecting the public from shadowlings - as fundamentally necessary? If not, she could easily settle on killing her former allies as her end goal in revenge; but if so, then she either cannot do so and will have to restrain herself to punishing them emotionally, or will have to find some way of replacing the protection they provided once they're dead.

She seems like the easiest to sway to our cause or if the situation permits it, kill her or drive her insane.

>>3131512
Screw that. One of the targets is literally next door and should be able to sense us from at least a mile away. That seems like a bad idea.
I'd personally rather check on if we are actually a living being right now, then if we're dead we've gotta break the news to her about us being dead AND our friends leaving us to die if we say anything to her at all.
I'm not really keen on tormenting our mother with our corpse walking around because we didn't check for a pulse so that she can find out later after thinking she got us back, even if she does deserve to know the truth at this point. But we also don't look too far into our teens atm so we probably want our mommy anyway.

You decide to go home and see your mother. After all she doesn't deserve to be alone ever since your father died. Hopefully she is alright.

-----------

After jumping around the neighborhood, ducking through the alleyway and avoiding public places and running deserted places, you have arrived at your home. And what is worse is you can smell a heavy corruption in your house.

Wait a minute.

If You is next door she should detect this kind of corruption since your home and hers are practically neighbors.At this time, You is probably on school. You decide to investigate it further to see how is your home have so much corruption without You noticing. Going around the back of your house you peeked on one of the windows and there you see it blocked by curtains. Prying open the window which is unlocked thankfully, you slowly open the window and peeked behind the curtains. What you see shocks you very much.

Your mother in her disheveled state hugging your near identical body. Her eyes felt like she didnt sleep for weeks and her eyes are very black under her eye bags. The room stinks from dirty dishes to her personal hygiene and while she is hugging the impostor you, you try to see who the fuck the one who imitates you. Then you see it's own true identity.

A Shadowbane. Shadowbane are an emotionally strong negative emotion siphoning creature that feeds from several people. But to think that your mother is enough to make a Shadowbane is very alarming as they tend to toy with victims feelings to feed more negativity to empower the creature. Your mother probably fears that you may not come back along with depression of losing you.

Not for long yet you need a plan.

That is your mother and you will get her back. Standing at the backdoor you try to open it but it is locked. You want to enter the window but the window is too small for you to enter as the hole of it is more or like a dog door or something along those lines. Pressing your head on the door, you try to talk to behind the door hopefully she can hear you over.

"Mother??"

You can only hear her sobs getting louder as she mumbles something that is too faint for you to hear. You try to bang the door with your hand and hear her sobbing intensifies. Not having a patience and a Shadowbane to worry about you just kick the door open making the hindges broken in itself as the door flops down the floor. You mother is startled at the destruction of the door and then when she look at you...

"W-who are you? what are you doing?"

The Shadowbane hisses at you hugging your mother close. That bastard the moment you pry that monster is the day you will feast this creature to your satisfaction. You slowly approach to your mother dragging the big lug of a sword on your hand.

"How cruel mother....you replaced me with a poor imitation of me. I'm right here you know."

Your mother shakes her head as she clutches the imitated body very hard.

"No...no...you are already dead...no she is here...in my arms. I don't want to let her go. I.....I."

The Shadowbane is having the time of its life as it starts to siphon the negative emotion your mother has. Your mother complexion is now aging older and older from mental and physical exhaustion.. At this rate if this goes on, your mother will be neurotically impaired from mental trauma.

Action?

Am I dead or am I here? And if here, which?

Mother, why are the missing persons notices still up if I was always here? Open your eyes. And let go.

Wonder if we can persuade her that we're a hallucination brought on by her mind rejecting the falsehood she's fabricated for herself. Because if she believes that we're still around, there goes any chance at stealth or deception.

>>3132307
Pretty sure that we abandoned stealth the moment we walked towards our house. As I mentioned in a previous post, they didn't even notice or care about something this strong going after our mother, so even if our mother says something, nobody is probably going to believe her.

>>3132364
Makes you wonder why that's the case.

Realistically, You wouldn't actually stand by doing nothing about this. She's our 'only friend' and 'practically inseparable' from us; unless she's been deceiving us for reasons unknown all this time, letting your late best friend's mother stew in magical despair when it's well within your power to take a 2 minute walk and do something about it seems extremely out of character.

My suspicion is that there's more going on than we know, and You hasn't actually been home since we last saw her. Wouldn't it be something if we got ourselves all angry over our team not coming back to save us, and then found out that they all actually died trying to fight their way in to us and falling prey to an ambush?

>>3132373
Or they killed her because she objected too hard and was gonna spill the beans.

>>3132301
>Convince her to get away from that body.
lets beging singing the lullaby she always told us before going to sleep when we were kids.

>>3132307
That option went away the moment we appeared and the hallucination part will crumble the moment the heat, food and water bills go up.

>>3132459
Not if we elect not to stay here. If we decide that moving back in and demonstrating that our mother still holds value to us puts her at risk, or that our revenge is too important to risk blowing our cover by staying in such close proximity to You, no one need ever know that we were even here.

Of course, how likely any of that is depends on what happens from here on.

"Mother please...it's me. Take a look at me."

You mother raised her head slightly. Although you may have a scar on your face that does not mean that your mother will not recognize your face. Slowly realizing she tries to let go the hugging Shadowbane.

"SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Your mother looks at the shadowbane and while her face in very conflicted with two daughters in front of her.

She looks at you, then at the imitator, then at you again. When she look again below her face contort into fear. She screams immediately as she crawls backwards looking at the abomination she is hugging. The shadowbane stands up facing you and make a loud shriek. Not wanting to break anything inside the house you run outside. The shadowbane on the other hand has other idea as it tackled you outside at the house and crashed at the nearby wall fence. You punched the shadowbane away from you, your fist connected to its face and flow a good few meters. Standing up you face on what would be the aberration your mother has created.

Standard of killing the shadow depends on ranking. Shadowlings are easily dealt with a blow from your weapon. Same with Shadowspawns. Shadowshade however needs magic or deal physical damage enough too weak to fight. Shadowbane on other hand needs constant dealing damage of positive energy or "Hope" as your group call it. Cheesy as it sounds but you are not a shining example of positive energy. In fact your enemy wants to eat you as it realizes that you are one walking big ball of corruption.

Yet deep inside in your being your hunger wants it to devour it.

Also the time where You would come home early which hopefully not happening.

You choices are limited here.

Maybe our mother can generate that hope energy? We should try to hold it a little bit to see if that is true. If not, just drive it off our lawn.

>>3132695
Do you want dear old mum to see us devour it? Unless she cantsee us doing that, its a bad dea.

>>3132698
Oh, right, maybe being a complete monster right in front of our mother would be a bad idea.

Maybe you have the right idea here: >>3132696

But if that doesn't work, then we bring the fight to the roof or somewhere she can't see us and devour that thing.

>>3132696
Our mother is probably gonna generate an aoe bomb of that if we hug her after we're done since she'd actually have us back. Regular old everyday hopes should have nothing on parental love.
It's probably way too metagamey to just bank on that happening.
>>3132690
>Just beat the crap out of it. Maybe roll to intimidate? If it tries to siphon us, we just siphon it back since we're stronger. No need to directly devour it.
Not trying to actually scare it off but instead just be so damn pissed off at it that it realizes it needs to run away.

>>3132720
Hey, its not metagaming when we also feel hope and happiness when seeing our mother.

>>3132720
I don't want to just scare off the thing that chose our mother as its target. We can't let it live. I'm really in favor of killing it, whether through hope, devouring, or just stabbing it repeatedly.

>>3132745
Anything we do to kill it is gonna scare our mom even more. That's the compromise I was able to think up and slowly shredding a monster to death while it (possibly) and our mom scream in broad daylight on the front lawn is just a little bit conspicuous.
We are a dead girl with a greatsword beating a monster to death on the front lawn while our mom screams. That shit is going on youtube if we o that route.

>>3132816
So we hug her in hopes of unleashing a hope bomb. Then if that is not enough we use the sword to cut it into ribbons.

For the record, I somehow didn't expect em to be dumb enough to immediately try to weaponize it despite using bomb in my initial description.
It's too far out of character for everyone involved (or at least ridiculous) to be able to use it while she's reeling in horror from a monster which was sucking on her soul and that just shoved us through a wall. anons need to learn how to read the mood.

>Time to release the kraken and let it devour the shadowbane or at least dismember it.

You are very grateful to yourself that you trained your footwork and swordsmanship because with how limited space your backyard is, this Shadowbane is a lot of work to fight at. The creature snarls at you and start lunging while you ready your sword to block the blow. Channeling your own power to your sword to start siphoning the creature, it backs away knowing your intent. While back then it would be easy as you are just coating your sword with hope energy and stab on the creature where it hurts, this is a very tricky one as you may accidentally empower it. So much for being a dark creature of rage and revenge.

The Shadowbane start charging at you as it trashes its clawed hands to scratch your body wanting that sweet sweet corruption. As for you to take any chances for any grazing cuts and let your sword siphon the creature little by little. Still this step is taking for you too long. Both of you masterfully dance around the backyard the Shadowbane jumps around to attack your blindspots while you are trying to keep up and try to hit it if the creature is too deep for it to dodge or capitalizing from its mistake. The creature shouts a loud wail that you are the only one could hear it.

Then deep inside of your blackened soul, something roar in anger. It answers the call of the Shadowbane. Wanting you to do something about it.

You won't give in

Hefting your sword up you lower your stance and stare at the Shadowbane. The Shadowbane undeterred stare back at you.

CONSUME IT, eAt iT!! EAT EAT eat EAt EAAT
The Shadowbane charges at you.

SCREEEEEEEEEE

Closing your eyes you think how mother raised you the best as she can. You have been a good daughter to her as to not burden her with many problems that surrounds your daily life. Your family may be small but you are happy. She is happy.

A happy family.

Your sword glowed white aura as the Shadowbane still charging at you. opening you eyes, you met its charge of your own. The intensity of the clash brokes the nearby glasses of your home and practically your neighbors next door. But the highlight of them all is the Shadowbane who got cocky too much is now stuck in your sword which you cut at the creature deeply. You almost forgot how easily chopping the shadows with hope. As you embedded it deeper the shadowbane wailed until it regressed into Shadowshade, then spawn and lastly shadowling. You pull out the sword out of the little pitiful creature crawling back to your house. You block the creature in front of you and stare it down.

"That is my mother bitch."

You drive your sword down to its metaphorical head and its siphons the remaining corruption out of your sword. Breathing a sigh of relief you turn back to your house and enter to see your mother unconscious state. Brushing a strand of hair from her face you carry your mother to her room and tuck in her sleep comfortably. Her smile now returning and her face going back on its own youth rejuvenating her mental state as well as physical one.

>Get out of here
>Forest

All these people just wanting to leave, like our disappearance didn't give our mother such despair as to allow her to feed a high tier shadow all on her own.

>Explore the house
And
>Wait for your mother to wake up
She deserves some kind of explanation at least. Hell, I'm all for telling her the truth if that's what it takes, but at least let her know she is loved and that we have something we need to do.

>>3133500
>Tuck her in bed, clean up the mess in the house a bit, maybe fix up a meal for her to eat for when she wakes up.
>Leave to continue checking things out. Those bitches might not be paying attention now, but they probably might try to finish the job and leave our mother alone a second time.
Leave a letter stating:


They left me to die.




>>3133505
Wharf

>>3133692

Yeah, maybe say You had something to do with it. I mean, putting the cops on them will be entertaining!

If we are leaving her, at the very least lets take a selfie with her phone to show her that we are fine.

Sorry but can we change You's name. Make it Yuri or something please its messing me up!

>>3133735
Vague is better. it forces whatever hard-boiled detective that's stuck on desk duty who notices the letter has our real fingerprints (despite our corpse being found?) to have a reason to investigate.and cast a wider net that eventually lets em connect the dots. Just going for You only catches her and she can just not do MG stuff while the cops are watching.
Being specific also makes it just look even more like the ramblings of a mother gone insane with grief and easier for the cops or anyone else to ignore.It would also backfire and make them think our mom is the killer when we start making bodies.
>>3133755
If you insist, then why not Yuu?

"I'll go to the forest. There would be bound to some clues on it. I mean the forest won't destroy on itself you know?"

"That makes sense. What about you guys?"

I'll pick the Wharf senpai "Kanna says as she raises her hand.

"I'll go to the Slums...even though i would hate it." Rei says

"Then i'll pick the city. It's only fit for a noble warrior like me."

"Ok Mari then i'll pick the factory. Let's go everyone."

The five of you break into different direction. You transform into your MG outfit and run to the direction of the forest, jumping from building to building until you are on the outskirts of the city and into the forest. As you jump from tree branch to branch you ponder what is happening to Junko's mother. She is pretty devestated about her daughter loss and even though you try to knock on the door to call her out, she seems to lock herself on the house. Not trying to pry into her own loss out of privacy you just let it be and hopefully she recovers from this ordeal.

Everyone....i know we lost Junko but it is my heavy heart to say to get over it. Lest we going to be a target of Shadows. Remember we are the only ones to destroy them. Letting them feed our despair is not an option.

It still left you a bad taste in your mouth but you gotta deal with it. As you are nearing from Rei pinpointed the spike of corruption you see a wide field of razed trees and damaged tree trunks. As if some bull charged in the middle of nowhere. Closing your eyes to detect any signature of corruption feeling the waves of your surrounding like a radar, it pings somewhere near you. You try to move to where was the source of it. Brandishing your Gauntlets and alerting yourself from any shadow lurking, you slowly move. Cautiously moving your eyes all over to detect any threat until you arrive at the stone.

Well its just a stone. A big rock. You are confused as to why would be a big rock would be a source of corruption. Checking all over it, it seem nothing of note as it is just a big stupid rock.

Sighing it seems that Rei have a miscalculation on her part. Pinging again for one last time you still detect the corruption and it is beside you. Looking around you see something below your feet.

"Wait a minute...."

You crouch down to see....

"This is Junko Phone!!"

(1/2)

"Sachiko here...everyone report?"

"Kanna here. Something happened here like someone fought all over the place."

"Did you find enemies Kanna?"

"No,nothing. Just crates that are lying all around."

"Mari what about you?"

"Nothing of note. Just killed 5 shadowlings here no big deal."

"Rei?"

"I didn't go deep but the corruption disappeared immediately. Just a normal occurence here considering how bad the mood here."

"Mitsukoshi-san what about you."

You grip the phone in your hand as you dispel whatever corruption is left on this phone.

"Nothing. False alarm here."

"Alright let's meet up again and speak what we found in details."

All of you says your confirmation and move to your hangout. For once, what is happening right now? How did Junko phone appear in the middle of the forest? What is the relation of this to the destructive area that surrounds it? But for now it is best to keep it to yourself as you aren't sure what to say to the group. Questions that hopefully have answers.
(2/2)

It's been a while since you have come home. Watching your mother sleep soundly makes you feel relieved. She suffered too long for her to endure. Standing up you elect to explore your home. You close your mother's room and go to your room. Opening it you see that your room is clean. Mother must be cleaning it every now and then. Although you see some dust from your desk that it must be that damnable Shadowbane took her time away from doing chores around the house. It probably hit her the most as she cleans your room hoping that you would come home one day.

Shaking you head it seems that all of your things are all here. You don't have anything of note to get since most of your things are just educational materials, books, trashy novels and some tapestry You forced to plaster since according to her...

>"Junko you room is so boring...no wonder no boys will come to your home. Your room is very spartan. Also why is your room all dark colored? Are you batman or something?"

>"Har har sorry im not girly enough to have many teddy bears and useless pillow lying around."

>"Hey! you have no right to say that since you like to dive on my teddy bears. You know how its hard to place them again in right places."

>"Why bother you just going to hug it and then put it back right?"

>"You don't understand!!"

Going outside your room come down the stairs and see the mess that you and that Shadowbane made. Although breaking that door is your fault it was an emergency on your part so hopefully when your mother wakes up she would call a carpenter to fix the door. Picking up whatever litters around the floor and cleaning a little bit you see your living room is clean albeit very dark from the lack of light. You let the backdoor lean on the hinge hopefully no burglar would took advantage of the damage, even though there are no burglar on your place.

With nothing to do you decide to...
>Get out of here (where?)
>Stay over a little bit (what?)
>Write-in

>>3134198
[write-in] Leave something that our mother can clearly recognize as a sign we were here (an old plushies, a drawing we made as a kid, etc) next to her but that doesn't betray our presence overtly to our former comrades and get the fuck out.

>>3134198
>Stay over a little bit
Maybe do a little bit of cleaning? And check that there isnt another shadowbeing hidden somewhere else.

>>3134205
Why not wait until she wakes up, talk to her and then leave? Otherwise she might return to her old habits and create another shadowthing.

>>3134198
Backing >>3134205. Though I'd say just leaving a blanket over her might be enough.

We can't risk staying long, not when we're trying to avoid detection.

>>3134218
We don't want to be still there when our """friends""" return because we're in no state to fight them currently and she won't be eager to let her baby-girl she had been thinking was dead for five months go out like that.

Let's spare both us and here that shittery and just leave something to her clear enough so she know we're alive and care for her but not obvious enough like a letter or message that could give her trouble or make the other B I T C H E S aware of our return.

We WILL come back to her, kiss and hug her and not leave her again but we will do that when we're actually able to defend ourselves, have hatched a plan, can give her a decent explanation and won't need to go out constantly for a long time.
For now, it would be just inflicting unnecessary drama and suffering to the both of us.

The police will probably arrive soon. A wall being busted open is kinda loud.

>>3134235
Fair enough.

Mostly a repeat of my previous vote. Tuck her into bed, maybe leave some soup for her to eat?
High tail it out of there since we can't take on all of them at once.
Level up on some corruption?

Us still being able to use Hope powers is a valuable weapon. It means we can block their attacks to get rid of any weaknesses to being purified or purify ourselves lightly if we don't like whatever devouring corruption does to us.

How does one become a magical girl in the first place and why is it a secret? We were supposedly dragged into it.

>>3134322
>Level up on some corruption?
We should try to commune with it first. I don't like the idea of unintentionally feeding something that one day might overtake our body and fuck up everything we know and love.

Going outside you see shards of glasses lying around. Not wanting to walk on these things especially mother, you clean it to the best of your ability. Some glasses are juting in between the grassy area and you individually picked up the broken glasses. After rounding the house to see no broken glasses lying around you go inside the house and try to fix her a meal. Opening the fridge you are bombarded with pungent smell of rotten meat and food. Ironically your skin siphons the disgusting smell and you immediately closed the door. Looking for an airtight bag you put the disgusting food one by one. After cleaning the food on it's content you let it open, cut the power to air the pungent smell you skin helping on it's part. You wish the smell won't last long.

Speaking of smell you haven't take a bath all along. You entered the bathroom and reward yourself with a nice long soak. Or whichever is faster. After taking the bath and drying yourself off, you take your school bag and empty it's content. There you stuff a change of clothes, underwear and lastly your toothbrush and toothpaste.

Ready to go, you look at the window. It's nearing sunset so you go back down the living room and opened your diary for your mom to see. Tearing a blank page, you start writing.


>Dear Mom

>Sorry for worrying you all this time. I haven't take a time to contact you. I know this hurts me too but there are things I have to do. As long as you HOPE for me to return. I will return home. So please be relieved for now and take it easy.

>Love, Junko

>P.S. If you read this letter, burn it after. If anything ask say, It's going to be fine.
>P.S.S. Don't forget to smile for me, ok?


Satisfied, you go to your mother's room and put the letter in front of your diary hopefully to read it's content....and burn it afterwards.

........

Now outside and away from your home you decide to....
>(Wharf)Train
>(Factory) Investigate a corruption
>(Slums) Rest
>Investigate(who? and what?)
>Write-in

A survey guys.

As you noticed I separated two narrative. One has a dice and the lastest one has not. I want your opinion in these matters as I feel asking for roll in every action save from training is asking a lot. But by doing this I felt that I railroaded you to my desireable outcome. Please give me you suggestions if you enjoyed this quest for me to improve. Thank you

>>3134478
>>(Slums) Rest
We had a long day and we need to check upon this corruption that wants us to CONSUME.

Survey thing:
A combination of both is for the best. Combat and training definitely needs dice rolls, as well actions that are "complex" like finding clues. I think that everything else doesn't need a roll as long as what we are trying to do is normal, or has been drilled in our memory long enough for us to consider it second nature.

>>3134478
Mari had a few summer homes nearby that are basically empty until then. Fool the security system with magic and rest there. It's the least she owes you. Alternatively, hijack her yacht and sleep in there.(Yachts are even less likely to have any random security come check up on them.)

>>3134505
Seconding that one for the survey
>>3134512
And that one for the next course of action.

>>3134478
I more or less agree with >>3134505, with the caveat that if you're going to roll for combat and what not, you need to make sure that if this is something that we theoretically can do flawlessly due to it being something like a skill that we've worked a long time at or otherwise have a great experience with, then if we roll and there's a failure, then the failure is not in the technical execution, but rather say something outside of her control happening resulting in the task not being accomplished.

Furthermore, if I could offer a little bit of general critique after the state of your quest, I would recommend that you try to approve read and edit your entries just a little bit more. You're missing a lot of commas and periods in some places that would break up some run-on sentences, and overall make the act of reading flow a lot nicer.

Another issue is that you tend to have what I call the 'IKEA problem', which is basically when you constantly write sentences that are some variation of 'You (do thing)', or 'You feel ________'. It's a common problem, and it's not necessarily something horrible, you just need to learn to recognize and try to rearrange your sentences so that they don't all read similarly.

I know it may not have been asked of me, but I still felt it worthy of at least giving some honest critique and suggestions to improve.

>>3134512
There are no near summer homes nearby Anon as they are days away from vehicle and the yacht is too much. Although I can agree on the yacht it would be hard since there are so many people in Marina private clubs which attracts visitors but I'll compromise that she has an entire building of hotel which your group enjoy every now and then.

is this considered metagaming?

>>3134522
Thanks for writing out. I have to admit my English is second rate due to not being my mother tounge. But I haven't fare better with my native one too.

>>3134528
>is this considered metagaming?
Not really, since most of it is information that our character should know.

>>3134534 I kind of wondered if that might be the case. You have a pretty able grasp of the language, it's mostly just a bit of cleanup really. I am not sure, but I think Google Docs can identify when some sentences that should have commas don't. I may be incorrect though.

>>3134537
I would still stand on my point though as the meaning of summer houses is to "get away" from the place you usually visit or stayed in your life for a change of scenery. This would work if one of your friends is a ryoukan's owner daughter but I didn't write one. So sorry for this Anon.

>>3134544
I'm from the city of tacos and future walled person recipient. But I appreciate your praise.

>>3134528
I figured any visitors would assume the lights to the yacht being on are due to the owner checking it out for a bit. Even if we don't actually sail the seven seas with it as a ghost ship, something like hopping or flying onto it from above makes actually getting inside the ship fairly easy. People generally don't look up. The hard part would be if there are any keys we'd need to steal to get inside any of the rooms if there isn't an open window?

I had actually thought about a hotel first before realizing that mooching off of the Ojou would be more appropriate.

>>3134549
I think i misunderstood you. The information you gave us shouldnt coubt as metagaming because our character should already know that its not possible to use the vacations home because they are on another city. Wich i think is the point you wanted to make, i guess.

>>3134555
Alright I'll accept the yacht one but be prepared from a lot of sneaking....well not really a lot of rolls but you catch my drift.

Going back to the slums to rest is an ideal action right now. Too many event are taking in one place and you barely scratch the surface with your steps in your journey to revenge. As you jump from the 3rd floor to your room you crashed yourself the moment your touch your head on the hard cold mattress you have.

Beggars can't be choosers after all.

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

Police cars and policemen litter throughout the area as there was a report of glass breakers from residential area. You light your cigarette and savoring the nicotine in your mouth as the warmth of your face is illuminated on this cold dark night.

"Sir...we already combed the area. The left one has no sign of break-in nor any stones that were thrown. Same as the right house but the middle one has a sign of entry."

"Did you talk to the tenant of the house?"

"Not yet sir but she is down below. You can start asking questions now."

"Thanks"

You walk to the house in question now the lady in question is sitting on one of her sofas. The room was clean and she was smiling offering tea to the police officer who ask questions regarding this case.

"Hello ma'am, I'm the detective from this city Police department can i ask you a few questions?"

"Of course detective. Sit down and i'll fix you a tea."

"No need ma'am. It's just a few questions." Sitting down, you start your interrogation.

"First question, Your surname."

"Kurosaki."

"Ok Mrs. Kurosaki, do you see any perpetrator who illegally trespassing to your home?"

"No, i was on my room sleeping. When i woke up, the police is on the door asking me questions. I said It's going to be fine since i wasn't injured or something was lost or stolen."

"Alright ma'am last question. Do you have a child name Junko Kurosaki?"

"Yes, she is still missing. I'm hoping for her to come home."

"......alright ma'am thank you for your coop-"

"Miss Kurosaki are you alright?"

A girl suddenly goes between you and hugged Mrs. Kurosaki. You clear your throat since she was here already, why not ask her some questions too.

"And what is your name miss?"

"Oh! I'm sorry. My name is You Mitsukoshi. I live on the house next door. I came here because there was a lot of police cars in front of our house."

"Did you know what is happening here then?"

"No. I just came home from school."

"Alright stay safe both of you. We will investigate on the area for a moment."

Both of them nodded and made hushed conversations to themselves. Leaving them be you try to comb the area with clues."

(1/2)

>>3134505
>>3134512
"Mrs. Kurosaki are you alright? Did someone hurt you?"

"Don't worry You. It's going to be fine."

"If you say so. I was worried about you everyday holing up on your house. I keep knocking on your door to see how are you doing. But i just let you be. Because..."

"It's ok You. It's going to be fine. I'm ok right now. You should go to your house and rest alright? I'm going to be fine here."

Nodding you stand up and wave your goodbyes to your neighbor. Hopefully she would be cheerful in the coming days.

You go outside the cold breeze brushing to your body. muttering something and clutching the phone in your pocket"Junko..."

.........................

You woke up from the uncomfortable feeling of your hard mattress. You might as well sleep on
the rock considering this thing doesn't even bounce. Thinking to yourself on moving out to....desirable location. Thinking about it, you remember Mari having a private yacht on the Marina. The place would be ideal since it was barely used anyway.

>”No, no. I don’t have a swimsuit You.”

>”Oh come one. You have a great body.” Mitsukoshi look at her body on the mirror of your room. “I’m so fat.”

>”Oh! Come on don’t pout you have a sexy body than mine.”

>”Then it's decided! Lets go and buy your first swimsuit.”

>”Wait! I didn’t asked for this!”

>”Nope! Mari said that we should show in our swimsuit and i will not miss this chance to have a birthday party from one of our friends. In a yacht no less! Now onwards to the bikini store!”

>”Nooooooooooooooo….mother help meeeeeeee.”

Shaking your head you start to collect whatever possessions you have on this room and move out to the Marina where Mari yacht will be.

…………

Arriving at the Marina you see a lot of people moving in and out. On one part is a party where several partygoers are moving in and out of the bar. There is also some security person patrolling the area looking for any unwanted trespassers. Truly a place for rich people to moor their boats. Despite all of that, the yacht Mari used can be seen over here but you want to avoid unwanted attention to yourself. You hope that in the morning there are no patrolling security
around the dock.

Still it is better to ask for information if you are going to do this. But risking yourself to be exposed or recognized by people.
>Ask for partygoers
>Sneak to the yacht immediately (roll 1d100)

Sorry about the detective one. I have been cheeky and made something noir like to our unkown detective. I apologize for that

>>3135117
>Ask for partygoers
>Write-in
Can we muster up some kind of disguise? Though I'm not quite on board with this whole yacht plan myself.

>>3135121
I didn't mind the detective's PoV in itself, but the PoV shift between >>3135085 and >>3135117 was rather jarring without your usual dashed lines. It wasn't clear until after the whole dialogue between You and our mother that the PoV was now with You instead of the detective.

>>3135117
>I said It's going to be fine since i wasn't injured or something was lost or stolen.
>"Don't worry You. It's going to be fine."
>"It's ok You. It's going to be fine. I'm ok right now. You should go to your house and rest alright? I'm going to be fine here."
...Did we just mindbreak her? We did instruct her to say that line every time someone questions her, but every other sentence is a bit much.

Well, whatever it is, I'm sure it's going to be fine.

>>3135117
>Ask for partygoers

>>3135117
>Ask for partygoers
Question. Can we make civilian clothes out of corruption too?

>>3135142
>Did we just mindbreak her?
Kind of, but in a good way. She literally received the best news of her life.

>>3135167
You can try one if you like

>>3135260
I would very much like to. Specially since i dont remember what kimd of clothes we have right now and i'm absolutely sure that they dont belong to where we are.

>>3135272
You are currently wearing your student uniform after taking a shower from your home. I think I didn't explicitly said that on a post.

>>3135273
So we roll to see if we can shapeshift clothes?

>>3135260
We made a mask before. We could probably make some sort of rich outfit that fits in with the area ? Look rich enough and they probably won't think we look out of place?
I'm really hoping we aren't restricted to black and minor additions to our new MG outfit.
Maybe some sort of fashionable mink/sable coat with the little fur hat? It's way harder to get this right in the morning instead of nighttime when we could make our outfit look like some sort of ball gown and be harder to notice while flying.

>>3135355
Why not simply steal some clothes from somewhere? I'm worried an entire outfit made of corruption will draw the attention of any magical girls nearby.

>>3135362
Eh. We are already carrying the corruption within us and they can find us just by feeling us. Making clothes out of corruption might make it a little bit easier for them to find us, but if they are in visual range, we fucked up long before they saw us.

>>3135355
I feel its right that we can only work in dark colors. It gives us an excuse to have clothing and not rely completely on the corruption; that is until we discover how to change the color of the corruption.

>>3135362
Probably should have done that last night. There must be some way we can get easy money to look the part for entering the marina with super strength and magic powers.
Unless we can shapeshift into a bird? (unlikely)
Maybe someplace nearby has some clothes we can take? Best not to steal directly from the marina since a person might recognize their clothes.
>>3135391
Yeah. Being stuck with black or "evil" colour schemes seems right.

>>3135142
>>3135150
>>3135167

How are the partygoers generally dressed? I'd be awkward if we came to a consensus only to realize that it stuck out like a sore thumb.

I was initially aiming for a cheongsam but they were all short sleeve and I figured it might be too cold out. (Knowing the current season might help?)
Is this better? A hat would probably be nice too.

Asking for more info about the area would be good. In fact it would give you some advantage if something is wrong. Also there are a matter of people where there are too many witness. Disguise is also an option too as blending would be easier. You try to tap on your power similar to what you did with the mask. The same thing as you spread your power through your skin coating your whole body in black aura.

>58

After minutes of concentrating you check yourself what kind of outfit you have made.

Is this pretty risque? No no...this is embarassing. Still you can see out there that there are similar people dressed the same as you. Blushing at yourself, you go to the party.

You put your things on a nearby bush to be picked up later as people and partygoers comes and goes on the Marina. There are loud music on one bar not far from here and there is one yacht ship who is holding a party. Mari yacht on the other hand is on the edge of the Marina where security guards patrol the area.

"Hey, girl! Wa'cha doing 'ere?"

You turn around to see a blond foreigner with two of his friends walking towards you their arms on each shoulder. You reckon these 3 are pretty drunk. Well time to ask for questions.

"Hey!"

Oh god this is embarrassing.

"Say girlie. Wanna hang out with us?"

"Uhm...say what about those guards over there?"

"Those black uniform dudes? Nah they're are just for show. They don't give a shit if you walk over there unless you go to one of their boats. But enough about those losers. Wanna hang out with me."

Well you have your info.

Gives us an alibi if they're sober enough to keep us company, and a disguise if they're drunk enough to pass out.
