Okay, new short snippet featuring Flash and Wonder Woman! BTW, has anyone noticed the new Wonder Woman movie's trailer makes it look like World War 1 female Captain America? Or is it just me?
"Not really?" Flash said. "I'm not even sure what city we're in."
"You're in Misaki City," a girl in a kimono carrying a sword with cat ears and a tail sticking out from her ass said as she walked by. The mask domino mask on her face seemed incongruous in comparison.
"Oh, thank you," Diana said as Flash blinked in confusion. "Can tell use which way to go to reach Fuyuki?"
The girl raised a hand to point, but paused. "Um, we're not going to end up fighting, are we?"
Diana blinked. "I had no intention of doing so. Why do you ask?"
"Well, you seem like westerners. Isn't it traditional in the west to fight for petty reasons when first meeting?"
"Okay, I can't understand a word either of you are saying," Flash said. "Is she single?"
"What's he saying?" Himari asked.
"I think he's hitting on you," Diana said.
"Oh, is this the first meeting petty fight?" Flash said at the katana suddenly at his throat. "I thought they didn't do that over here?"
"So, how do we get to Fuyuki?" Diana asked politely.
"Oh, just keep going west along the highway towards the ocean," Himari said. "If you end up in Zawame City, you've gone too far."
"Thank you," Diana said.
"Uh, you're not part of Saber-san's harem, are you?"
"Why does everyone keep me asking that?"
After a brief and responsibly choreographed petty fight that did cosmetic and non-serious collateral damage, they exchanged contact information and went their separate ways.
"So…" Flash said as he ran, "I thought you lived with the Green Lanterns?"
"Only temporarily," Diana said. "They found me a more permanent place to stay in Fuyuki."
"Uh, why there, exactly? I've never even heard of the place."
"Green Lantern told me I would fit in better there," Diana said.
"Well… have you?"
"I don't know," Diana said. "I spend too much time training with Cu and Arturia to really notice if I'm fitting in."
"Who?"
"My neighbors. Very nice people. He works as a gardener for my host and she… actually, I'm not sure what she does. She doesn't seem to go to school at the same time as the others."
Oh, Bats and Supes would love that...
I was thinking, basically, a Witch's Barrier is her own version of a Reality Marble, isn't it?
I'm sure there's a nugget of shared lore to be explored there, even if I'm not sure of how.
Actually, it might be closer to a Negima-type Diorama space, since Gaia is on the side of the witches, while a Reality Marble would go against it…
On the other hand, given how against reality the contents are, perhaps reality marble might be closer after all.
I though we were going with the witches being creations of Primate Murder, aka Kyubey, who itself is an enforcer of Gaia's will to make humans suffer and ultimately eradicate them?
If that is the case, shouldn't it be something more like a Marble Phantasm?
I thought that too, but... well, I've only read the manga, so I'm not really sure Marble Phantasms have the same defined, implied to be spherical borders of Reality Marbles and Witch Barriers. Also, Witch Barriers are Bigger on the Inside, and I'm not sure Marble Phantasms are. Wouldn't that be against nature?

I always assumed a Marble Phantasm's area of effect was only limited on its user's ability to see or otherwise detect what they want to mess with.

NEW PRISMA ILLYA CHAP!
Wow, I knew Pandora's nbox would have something to do with the plan, but that twist… totally unexpected! Now I want to explore similar twists in other legends, like 'what if Gilgamesh had managed to become immortal' or 'what if Mordred had been acknowledged and inherited'?
Emissary of the Void
That's like saying you never opened it for at least a couple thousand years and just realized that they had mail.
[DATA LOST]
Have you considered use Super Street Fighter 4 Akuma's Theme for our little Green Devil considering you used One Winged Angel as Hayate's?
Eh, it's more Reinforce's than Hayate's.
Well still I consider this to be the theme for the moment Nanoha gets serious or pissed and that God have mercy of the poor fool that unleashed the Devil in the first place
Interesting point to consider: In life, Lancer loved riddles. He even courted and proposed to his eventual wife by means of an elaborate riddle contest between the two of them. Should make things interesting should he ever visit Gotham.
And on another note, an omake based on some sidestory ideas I posited earlier:
Providing satisfying food to a diverse community could be a challenging task. Green Lantern-chan knew that better than most. The Corps had been in existence for tens of thousands of years, had an average size of roughly 3500 active-duty members, replaced every position every five years on average, and frequently had the rings choose a replacement from a being of a totally different species from the individual who had previously held it. This resulted in the Corps having had members of hundreds of thousands of different species over the millennia, each with their own biological and cultural requirements as to what constituted a proper meal. It had taken her some time to find anything on the menu at the cafeteria on Oa that was safe to eat for her species, which was listed as DBDG in the Corps biological classification index for some reason, and she still hadn’t found anything she’d eat for pleasure.
But she hadn’t expected that principle to apply to her own planet. The food guide for eateries at Mahora contained a maddening variety of icons indicating various types of food warnings or recommendations. There were symbols for spicy food – at various points on the Scoville scale. Symbols for warnings about various types of potentially allergenic ingredients. Symbols indicating that a meal was acceptable under the dietary laws of various religions – for each possible religion. Symbols indicating acceptability of the meal under vegan diets of five different levels of strictness. And so on. If there was a medical or cultural reason why a meal should or should not be ordered, there was a symbol for it. The guide for the symbols took up an entire page. And out of all those symbols, there was only one on the list that she cared about, and she couldn’t find it on the menu. At least, not in the section she was looking at. No matter how hard she tried, nothing seemed to have a facemasked smiley face next to the description.
“There don’t seem to be any desserts marked as being safe for ninjas.” She noted.
Shinobi Blue nodded. “Practically anything sweet has something that isn’t allowed on the ingredient list in it, which means that we can’t eat it without running the risk of gaining a noticeable scent. Are you thinking of trying the shinobi diet?”
“My family put me on it when they started teaching me the family art. And I know that it’s possible to get ninja-safe desserts, because my dad’s been making them regularly. Some of them even get sold in the family store.”
Shinobi Blue’s eyes widened for a brief moment before she regained control. Experienced chunin shinobi she might be, but she was also a teenager. She craved the sort of delicious treats that she hadn’t been allowed to eat since she first entered training, sundaes and cakes and pastries that she had to watch her classmates consume on a regular basis while being unable to taste any of them herself. And here she had found a shinobi in training from a clan that had somehow managed to find a way to allow them to their members while, and a quick discrete sniff confirmed this, allowing themselves to retain a totally neutral scent that would help them remain undetectable.
She wondered if it would be allowable to trade of the Koga clan’s lesser techniques for the recipes.

Billions of years, really. I'd put them as coming into being about a billion years after the big bank, maybe a few million years less. Nice segment. Can I reprint it if I ever get the latest chapter up?
Though scent wouldn't really be a problem for Nanoha. She's cheat and put a layer of vacuum between her and the world.
Anyone still here? Sorry I've been gone, IRL happened. And new inspiration. I'm doing the suicidal 'juggling multiple fics' thing again. This never ends well.
I just realized the Gilgamesh might NEVER get along with Diana. She'd remind him too much of Enkidu, being an artificial superhuman crafted from clay given life by the gods. He'd get all Lost Lenore and be even more of an ass than usual, then they'd fight, which would just remind him again about old times with Enkidu, it'll be all a vicious cycle.
We're still here.

I never would have considered that until you brought it up. That actually makes a lot of sense.
I'll have to try and get some work on this on the weekend. Fortunately, it's a long weekend. I should theoretically have time to work on this, my new My Gamer Academia fic, and that fic where Rise gets her twintails stolen.
Yes, you can reprint. I posted it to bring the thread and the story back to life.

O Oh, nice! Something tells me someone was lucky on their gacha roll.
Anyway, I'm back to working on this and making reasonable progress in the middle of all the shiny distractions. Here's a brief intermission-y type piece:
Sure, when her computer was on, or when she was using her Artifact for some very deep immersion hacking, she kept a little window open showing the user interface she'd put together to deal with all the Magical Girl stuff. Even then, however, most of the work was done by a custom program she'd made, because this was the 21st century and she wasn't some mouth-breathing barbarian. A lot of it was phone-to-phone emails from throwaway accounts, since for some reason a relatively small (but growing) group of people who proclaimed to embody and fight for the virtues of truth, love, justice, hope and friendship operated on a level of paranoia where unless you were really, really, really close or on the same team you didn't even know someone's real name, much less their phone number or email. Only the Tomoeda three knew the names and faces, and they kept them either in their heads or Sakura's stubbornly unhackable ring. The only one with a copy was Chisame herself, and only of the electronic equivalent for their cellphones. Some didn't even have that on file.
Anyway, she'd put together a program that made sure that childishly disguised and encrypted personal emails from cellphones passed through her system's central hub and on towards the right people. The same for actual voice calls, though that was more restricted, and you needed someone's tacit permission to call them on their phone unless they'd pre-approved contact. She tended to handle that personally, and it was a strange irony that she'd managed to turn herself into a call center agent, albeit one who was self-employed. Really, sometimes unspeakable vaguely pedophilia-tinged feelings for little Welsh boys didn't seem to be enough justification for all this crap she had to put up with, especially when he hadn't even bothered to ask her to do it!
So, back to our original topic, no, Chisame wasn't usually up at all hours personally overseeing everything. Really, the only reason she was up tonight was because she'd just uploaded a new batch of pictures and an update to Chiu-sama's site earlier that evening and liked watching the reactions of her adoring public in real time (okay, and eject haters literally moments after they make their posts, something she took petty pleasure in). Really, that was it. The little instant message chat with Chachamaru had nothing to do with any of it at all! Complete nonsense. It wasn't like she had any unspeakable, vaguely defined, sorta-Setsuna-and-Konoka-tinged feelings for the stupid robot at all! She just coincidentally happened to be awake.
So it was a complete coincidence that she was awake when the SOS from Fuyuki came up.
Prisma Ruby: Help! Some weirdo in a gold mask and her kid attacked us and blew up Black Archer.
Prisma Ruby: …
Prisma Ruby: She's fine by the way. She survived again somehow. Yay
Chisame could feel the total lack of enthusiasm in that "Yay".
She supposed she had to respond to this or something. Not that she wanted to or anything. It was merely out of boredom. Humph!
As she sent out the notification to the Fate Knights' closest contacts, another panel made itself known. She frowned, trying to place it. Was that the Green Lanterns'? She vaguely remembered using that set-up to talk to them once, but–
Then the image that identified the person on the other end, and she almost jumped out of her chair– well, jerked slightly in a vaguely upward direction, anyway– when she recognized it at the same time the voice came through.
"Hello?" a deep, masculine voice said in slightly accented Japanese. "Is this getting through? I'm sorry for bothering you, but it's an emergency. This is Superman–"
For once, Chisame didn’t even find it in her to lament that once upon a time, strange men from other planets wouldn't be calling her in the dead of night for flying directions to a city filled with weirdoes.
After giving the planet's most famous illegal immigrant directions to where he wanted to go and an advisory of what he was likely to find there, and briefly reflecting he really was from another planet if he was willing to stop and ask directions, Chisame decided to go to bed. her night had already gotten too weird and she didn’t want it to get any weirder.
She slept, and had a strange dream about being recruited by a janitor with a pumpkin for a head as a side-kick to solve dream crimes.

Best way to refer to him.
So even Mervyn got a reference. Nice! And technically, Superman is legal now. He was adopted after all.
Chiu needs to go up against Tomoyo in a dressmaking competition.
On the immigration side, it also depends on when Kal-El landed (stupid comic world sliding timeline). In 1986 Reagan passed a law that said that all illegals that snuck in before 1982 were legal, and the subject of amnesty, on various scales, has shown up in immigration debates at numerous other times. Given Supes' popularity (Before the Darkseid incident), it's entirely possible that Congress passed a bill just to give him citizenship.
I'd say less "humanity" and more "Merlin decided he wanted a pet that would keep him safe from that freaking rabbit"
