Sword of Queen's Faith, a Magical Girl Roleplay

So...we've got an alcoholic with an outrageously hilarious, yet very threatening sounding accent, whose primary weapon is the bagpipes and the oboe? Who also likes knives and bar brawls, and fights a door when she's had a few too much?

I have three words, no more, no less.

Stupendously Astoundingly Awesome.

Hey, I'd already deployed the Australian technically-a-princess elsewhere. I had to go somewhere for inspiration, and I'd already concluded that other candidates wouldn't have been suitable/as fun to play for this scenario.

I tend towards somewhat loose definitions of "magical girl"...

Just to let everyone know, I aim to update once a day at the least, so if there'll be any disappearances I would like a heads up. Besides that, assuming you guys confront her this "turn", Update 3 would officially start the boss fight (with subtitles even!).

Okay, so this coming week is Hell (aka Production) Week for me, and I will be in play rehearsals until 10 every day. I'll try to post, but expect a little less from me this week.

Dropping down.

Before I write the next update, I would like more to confront Amour Perdu first. Slightly besides that, what do you guys think of Justice Rook going in to try deflecting the Christ Cross?

She should do what's IC for her.

So I guess Tina is the Bagpiper of Hamelin?

Try the Dead Plateau and you might be closer.

Erm, I do not get this reference. Sorry.

R'lyeh would be a good substitute reference.

You need not worry about the bagpipe leading away hundreds of bipedal, self-propelled snacks again. All that is in the past now.

Hope the new update is good enough, and not entirely sure if I should do boss subtitles. Maybe as a post-battle note thing?

I vote no, if only because our characters wouldn't necessarily see them.

Right, time for Tina to do...hang on, what was the word the Jaegermonsters used? Ah, right.

Sottle.

Oompah? Please don't tell me we're going to have to deal with a polka-powered dino-zombie.

Maybe we'll have to deal with the minions of a certain chocolate factory owner instead.

There wasn't a single zombie T-rex rampage in Chicago. Not one. If Tina had contracted with Bunnycat instead of Burritocat, she would've turned witch out of pure disappointment.

As things are, the party bard is focused on laying a +2 smokescreen of one-way visibility...and if it's a diversion you're wanting...

So, if one is fighting a singing monster in a location with massive sound systems, would it not make sense to use them?

Ah, the traditional stage two of an RP engagement: "everyone's here, let's do this! ...anyone got a plan?"

So I feel like I should note. In a lot of games, online and off, I've often taken the role of team tactician/planning advisor. I enjoy that kind of challenge.

However, that wouldn't quite suit my character this time around. Not that she lacks bar brawling experience, but it's a step up from that to coordinating small-unit tactics.

So, someone start coordinating plans, or I expect a bit of a mess in the fighting...

I think I can do the tactitioning; it would somewhat fit my character, at least.

Ace is on her way to take control of the media systems. I'm sure there are enough microphones laying around somewhere for Tina and Liliana to work with.

Wonder if Liliana's ever done a song backed by bagpipes from beyond the stars before.

She's only been active for a month, and she does use her Sound Manipulation to aid her singing career... which has been solo, so she wouldn't have too good a idea how to work with bagpipes.

Well, technically, suddenly losing one's vision can be quite diverting, no?

My character would also be a good planner, but in this case she's going to let Faith take over, since she knows little about the boss' abilities (being traumatazied and all) and doesn't like being the center of attention. And it looks like Lilith went ahead and started the fight on her own.

Oh no, that's Alison Anderson, Faith is the Pawn Magician and is still on her way.

She's got, what? A good half hour to go?
