You open the door.

"Hey there, Mary. Rough night?"

M(ary):"Yeah, Dad. Wasn't the best."

"Hmm. I've got food in the fridge, take a seat on the couch for a bit?"

And with that, Sarah practically drags your daughter in through the door, past the coffee table, onto the couch.

You head to the kitchen to cook something up for them. Soup, specifically. Whatever it is she's been doing, it needs to be able to go down easy.

You manage to catch Sarah on the way out, while the soup's on the stove.

"Would you mind staying for dinner? She doesn't seem to be feeling all that well, it might be good for her to have a friend here. Besides, I've been wanting to meet her friends."

S(arah): "Oh! No, I don't mind, I told my parents I was going out for dinner at a friend's anyway."

Thus tempted by the offer of soup, she stays for dinner. Brilliant!

You decide to eat at the coffee table. They don't look up to moving that much.

About halfway through their bowls, you decide to spring the question.

"Alright, we need to talk. What's been going on?"

M: "I was out. With my friends."

She gets a bit blunt when she's tired.

"Doing what?"

You, on the other hand, are always blunt. She's not in a state to lie convincingly right now, after all.

M: "I was uhhh..."

S: "We were at the mall, shopping, going to the movies, doing that kind of stuff."

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Guess she really did just have a rou-

You set down your bowl of soup and deliver the dadliest glare to Sarah that you can muster.

"Young Woman, you have 30 seconds to explain what you just tried to do to me or you're out of the house."

Her eyes are wide, shocked. So are your daughter's. She's in on this too. Whatever it is.

M: "Uhh, she, uh, it's kind of hard to expl-"

S: "Just forget about it," She cuts in, "I'm leaving."

You feel whatever it was she just tried to do happen again, and this time you aren't taking no for an answer.

"Sit. Down."

She opens her mouth to reply, but something in your glare tells her to do otherwise.

You look at your daughter.

"You Explain, since I can't trust her."

>>Choose for your Daughter<<

"Well, you see Pops, there was this ferret looking thing..."

And then she explains. And you believe her. Sort of. Not because of any of whatever it was Sarah was trying to do you, but because you trust your daughter.

Actually, no, it technically was whatever she was trying to do to you. Just in a more mundane manner than magically forcing your brain to accept something as truth.

You still want to meet this "Cubey" thing. Something to affirm to yourself that, no, you're not going crazy. Or that if you are, you've gone far enough off the deep end for it not to matter.

The only thing you can say though is...

"Young Lady, I strongly disapprove."

M: "W-What! But I'm a hero! I save lives!"

"Without telling me. In the dead of night. With no adult supervision whatsoever. At the behest of a ferret. Fighting against Demons."

M: "Well, it's not reeeaallly a ferret, it's-"

"A ferret."

S: "Well, I'm going home."

"Fair enough. It's getting pretty late."

And you watch her walk out the door.

"And you Young Lady. You, are grounded. Indefinitely."

M: "What?!? Why?!?"

"You didn't tell me. And until I hear something reassuring, I won't let it up."

M: "Fiiiine. How about this. My friends come over and we can all tell you about everything, and you can let up the grounding."

"Acceptable. Now, off to your room, Mary. You need sleep, and I need to think."

Now, you wouldn't say that you're a paranoid man. But when something's wrong, something's wrong.

You get your gun. You've got more around the house, of course, but this one is special because it's the only one by your bedside. That's because the only things in the house that have more oomph are the shotgun and the hunting rifle.

You take slow, measured steps to your daughter's room.

You ease open the door to your daughter's room and... nothing. It's empty.

You grab only the bare necessities. Some more loaders for the revolver, some boots, and a jacket. And the sword.

Ah, the sword. A family heirloom for, oh, 400 years? It's been sitting on the mantelpiece for as long as you had it. But when you lay eyes on it, something feels right, in a way like your pistol does. It's been used, you can tell that much. It's also been cared for, you know what a neglected weapon looks like and it isn't one.

'Course, you've never swung it before, but you can only carry so many rounds and the scabbard fits quite well onto your belt.

Off into the truck. Of course it's a truck, what are you, some kind of pansy?

You close in on Mary rapidly. She's not moving fast, wherever she's going. You'd wager out hunting, but if they're hunting, why don't they have some kind of transport?

Wait, they probably can't drive.

And, as you remember, pulling around the corner at NOT safe speeds that you'd go into a fit at your daughter making, probably something to do with magic.

You see a fire in the distance.

You decide that seeing as where there's smoke there's fire, where there's fire, someone had to set it. Or, in this case, something.

You'd best head them off before they get there, if you just follow their trail you might end up getting there too late to talk some sense into them. That sense being "Go home or I go with you". Or they might ignore your advice.

Yeah! They can't ignore your advice if you're already there!

Because you are, in fact, already there. It's a park and, hoo boy, there isn't really a good place to park with all the rubble and torn up trees.

You drive in. It's a difficult task, or at least it would be if your truck wasn't capable of just kind of... going over most of it.

Ah. There's the problem. Great big stonking portal disgorging a horde of demons. You kind of see why magic is necessary to deal with this, but not necessarily teenage girls and "the power of love". Power of violence more like.

Well. At least it's a small horde. You might not have a frame of reference, but it looks small.

You realize, in a moment of clarity, that the greatest weapon that you have is your truck.

And by God is it a fine weapon.

One, Two, Three, Four, one after the other. You have to swerve to miss some of the big guys, don't want to damage the truck, but the little ones are small enough that running them over gives you nothing but great joy, and not impending worry of having to explain this to your insurance company.

You aren't trying to hit the demons, per se, but you definitely cut a swathe through them, sure as a knife through butter. Oh sure, some of them try to fight back, but claws aren't good against steel, and their fireballs really aren't cutting it.

You'd wish they were tighter packed, if you didn't also worry about your truck.

You pull up behind the lady, the portal that she's holding open disgorging a steady stream of assorted nasties.

Well, instinct does what it does. Got so caught up in the thrill of the kill that you forgot she was standing on a big enough pile of rocks that your truck, wonderful as it is, could not just drive over it, and instead are treated to a horrible grinding noise as your beloved vehicle grinds into the pile.

Well, at least she's too busy staring at the shitshow to try and kill you.

You shoot her, again. You would probably feel sick, if you didn't have so much adrenaline in your system right now.

This time, you hit her in the chest, and she drops like a stone. Thankfully, no one's taken the opportunity to ambush you on this pile of rocks, but that probably has something to do with the explosions and shouting you've started to hear. Suspiciously high pitched shouting.

You decide that, if she can do magic, it'd be best to check if she's dead. Dunno what exactly she can do.

As you walk over to her, you realize this was a good idea. because apparently she can come back from the dead. Or, almost dead.

?: "Foolish mortal! You should know better than to try and keep one such as I, the Terrible Teresa down!"

Even if she's not actually dead, she looks a lot worse for wear.

Your aim's a bit better this time. Instead of just hitting her torso, it wings her high in the chest (just under the collarbone) and you can see the spray from the exit wound behind her.

She looks utterly shellshocked. You're fairly certain that she's realized that she's going to die.

She collapses (again), but this time you can hear the fluttering breaths that signify her ongoing life.

As you walk forward, you hear her speak.

You walk up to her. Slowly, of course, you're all alone on top of the pile, and the demons are too loud to be sneaky.

You cock the hammer back, as you stand over her. If she knows it's empty, she doesn't show it.

"Don't you DARE try something like this ever again!"

T: "i-"

"You come into MY town, unleash demons in MY park, and threaten the safety of MY daughter without expecting ME to do SOMETHING about it?"

T: "i di-"

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

T: "y-yes."

"Now, if I know my daughter, and I do, she's somewhere around here, trying to put a stop to you. Where. is. She?"

She lifts a trembling arm and points behind you.

"Oh. Hi there, Mary."

M: "DAD WHAT THE FUCK!"

>>4640470
>>4640493
"I, Young Lady, am providing adult supervision. And you're also still grounded, Mary."

M: "I'm saving the world!"

You raise an eyebrow at her, before turning your incredulous gaze back on the... witch? Summoner? Rogue mage? You don't rightly know the correct term. Anyways, they were subdued with... relative ease, actually.

You turn to look back at your daughter, eyebrow still raised quizzically.

"Now Miss... Teresa, was it? What am I going to do with you?"

The official reason that you give your daughter as you toss her into the backseat and your soon to be "guest" in the passenger's seat, is that you both don't want to kill her and can't trust her not to do this again. No matter how much she insists that, no, they don't keep this up after being caught and beaten.

The UNOFFICIAL reason is that you want to learn about this magic thing from a (semi)rational adult.

M: "Dad, come on, I need to let my friends know I'm okay!"

She says, leaning forward from the back seat.

"Just yell out the window, honey," you reply, buckling Teresa in while she bleeds all over your car. "Make sure to buckle up," you throw over your shoulder at Mary, who still looks rather shell shocked at how casual you are about this.

You see some of Mary's friends and a floating ferret making their way to your truck as you kick it into reverse, resolving to...

Perfection

>97 means the team is just curious

As you pull away from the pile of rubble, you notice the rapidly disintegrating corpses of all of the little ones that you ran over get significantly more squished.

As you make a series of tight turns, you stick your head out of the window to deliver your response to Mary's friends.

“Bye guys, you can come see Mary when she’s not grounded!”

The sounds of incredulity, what few you can hear over the engine, are amazing. Their faces are pretty good too, you've never seen a ferret look shocked before.

"Say bye, Mary!"

Mary, knowing better than to argue with you, sticks her head out the window with an unenthusiastic "bye"

Ah, the reactions are even better. You're actively holding in a laugh as you finally leave the park.

On the drive home...

>>4641036
Ex-military, possibly a single father (no wife mentioned yet), and maybe mind wiped after dealing with other magic shit.

>>4641036
No, he just... had a tier 1 first encounter with the magical side of life that VASTLY overestimated the limits of regeneration when applied against high caliber handheld pistols. This would be a filler encounter for your daughter's team, whereas you simply had the advantage of shock and her being mostly dead for most of the fight.

I'll just tell you guys this now OOC, and say you learned it later IC, but most magical creatures past a certain threat level have multiple healthbars and *some* kind of regen, even if it's weak. A normal weapon has to clear through each healthbar until their enemy is too magically exhausted to regenerate and finally dies. A magical weapon/attack, on the other hand, only has to clear through the first healthbar. If you'd been using the sword, she wouldn't've gotten up after dropping the first time.

Your guest is an example of a weaker example of this, while your daughter has powerful enough regen to be noticeably fine after most fights. The Imps(weak ones) are so weak they have no regen, and probably would die to a hard enough kick. The big ones, on the other hand CAN regen, and only have 2 healthbars.

>>4641060
Yes, single father. Maybe Ex-military, but I didn't factor in bonuses for such a thing. And the success that he had wasn't from that, in any case, seeing as he lacked the bonuses from that.

>>4641062
forgot to mention, the healthbars get successively smaller. Her first was 25, then the next one was 15. She actually had one more, and would've tried running away if you didn't let her surrender.

>>4641066
We'd be rusty anyway, being out of the military now and all.

"So, why didn't you invite me before, that was fun!"

Mary is too busy spluttering to give you an answer, at least for the first few seconds.

If you weren't so busy driving, you'd probably have noticed the mildly concerned look that Teresa is giving you.

M: "Fun?!"

"Yes, Fun. I figure you wouldn't be doing this if you didn't enjoy it in some way."

M: "W-well, it is fun, but I didn't think you would enjoy it."

"Whaddaya mean? You telling me that we could've been having Father-Daughter bonding time and you didn't tell me because you didn't think I'd enjoy it?"

M: "Well, uh... You don't have magic. And you, uhh... kind of need magic to do things like this easily enough to have fun with them?"

"Mary, I always enjoy a challenge."

Silence reigns in the truck.

"So... How did you get the magic again?"

M: "Oh! That's easy, I got it as a gift so I could fight!"

You hear Teresa snort at this.

"A gift from the ferret?"

M: "Yup!"

"With no strings attached?"

M: "Just the fighting, but I wanted to do that anyway! So, Yup!"

"Hmmm."

You don't trust that ferret.

As you pull into the driveway, you notice Teresa is looking noticeably better, and visibly winces at the sight of your house.

T: "Uhh, you... Might not want to go in there Mr."

"What? Why?"

T: "I kind of sent a demon to the house of the most isolated member of your daughter's team."

"..."

T: "Which is your house..."

T: "I know, it seems stupid, but it was really just for distraction, any of them would be able to handle it."

M: "I can, you know."

"Miss, not to be rude, but the first thing anyone should learn about anything is how to stop whatever you're doing."

She looks sufficiently chastised.

M: "Oh, uh, gimme a sec before we go in."

"Sure."

You spend a few moments reloading your cylinder of ammo, as your daughter does... something. Something magic. She looks... hazy, but you can still see her.

"What was that?"

M: "Just making sure we won't wake up the neighbors. Susan's a lot better than I am at this stuff, but I'm good for the house."

You turn to look at Teresa.

"Don't go making a run for it now. I've got questions."

T: "NOPE! No sir, not even thinking about it!"

As you're about to enter the door, you notice...

>The air becoming noticeably hotter, and a smell like singed hair.

This chooses what exactly your sweet baby daughter can do. If you choose "Nothing" for the first option, she's all weapon skill/physical enhancements, whereas if you choose the wand, she's more magic focused.

You notice the lamp shaped light above the door start to glow a bit brighter, and as you look back at your daughter, you notice that not only is she holding a wand and metaphorically glowing about the prospect of killing a demon with you, she is also literally glowing.

"So is that what you can do?"

M: "Yup! I can also do other things, this is just me warming up! What, did you think glowing was all I did?"

For the record, it wasn't. For the record. After all, glowing incandescently is a very useful ability.

As you open the door, you notice that the living room is in disarray. And by disarray, you mean that the carpets are torn up, there are gouges in the (very sturdy) walls, and all of the furniture is overturned.

Well, at least the shotgun's still by the door.

Before you can change your mind, you grab the shotgun.

It does more Damage, but has greater accuracy falloff. You can also trade Damage for increased accuracy in the form of smaller shot.

The kitchen is, unfortunately, just as messed up, and just as empty. You were expecting DOOM 2, but you seem to be getting DOOM 3.

You know, there are a few things in life that you love. One of them is your daughter. Another is your truck, and another is your house.

One of them is your shotgun. You served with it, and when you got back home you made sure that the armorer took care of it. And when it came time to clean house at the base workshop, you called in a favor and had him send it to you.

She's been yours ever since. Angelina used to joke that you paid more attention to it than her at some times.

You pump a blast into it at point blank range, and watch it not just drop, but actually disintegrate.

Shelly's never let you down before, and she won't now. Yes, you named your shotgun, what kind of self respecting American doesn't?

"I am not going to hurt you. You are going to come inside, and check if the basement's still livable with Me and Mary. If it isn't, you're going to help make it livable, and ten the rest of the house. I'd say that's punishment enough."

"O-okay."

She seems to have calmed considerably, even if she starts to get nervous again once she sees the devastation. Eh, probably just regret. You can sympathize, you've broken a lot of stuff and regretted it later.

Or she doesn't like hard labor like fixing the house will take, in which case you don't care in the slightest, because hard labor builds good character.

Thankfully, the basement's liveable, even if it isn't the most luxurious.

You used to use it as a gaming and training area, but you converted some empty storage rooms a while back, and now you have another, slightly smaller house under your house.

It's still mostly storage though, which is why the bedroom is nothing but 3 beds and a curtain.

You make the execcutive descision to get started tomorrow.

Sorry for the wait, I got caught up in reading a quest

T: "The problem is that if you don't work for it, so you don't utilize it as well as you could've. You don't know the basics, so you don't learn usually proper control, either. I've seen it before, even if I haven't been around long. Someone gains access to some wellspring of power, and then they only ever use a variation on the first spell that they cast. For fighting, that is."

Your daughter seems slightly embarrassed at her final two lines.

T: "I will admit, they," She says, looking at your daughter, "Don't usually need to. They'll be powerful enough to coast by on one type of magic, not even counting whatever weird stuff they might get, in the case of your daughter. I, on the other hand, can't just keep casting one spell. You reminded me of that yesterday, rather harshly."

"What do you mean?"

T: "About the 'weird stuff' or the casting one spell thing?"

"Both, please."

T: "Those girls your daughter hangs out with? They can do things that no normal mage can, both power-wise and control-wise. One of them? She can just... teleport. Like that," she says, snapping her fingers. "I did my research beforehand, you see, even if I didn't really prepare much else. Normally, it requires at least a few minutes even if you're absurdly good, or some prep work. Even then, it's not near as clean, so to speak. So far, it seems like they can also do more normal ma-, wait, what am I saying. Hey, shoot off a spell."

M: "What? Why?"

T: "Example purposes."

M: "Fine."

Mary shoots a beam of light, about as strong as a laser pointer.

T: "I'd bet you can either only do some version that, or that and some other, really impressive thing."

M: "I, uh... just... that..."

Your daughter seems embarrassed.

T: "That's 'normal' magic. The bit with teleporting I mentioned isn't. Showing an example is a bit easier than explaining. Now, about the casting one spell thing. What I should've done was either put up a barrier or get that gun away from you. I... wasn't thinking straight at the time."

Well, that's a lot to think about.

Ask more questions if you want more answers, spoiler them if it's OOC.
