Ah. I see. Amended the snippet here to make it clearer.

How's classic URAE coming along, OM?
I'm working on it!

So, how does it feel to be on the receiving end of that, huh?
Just a nobody. Yep.
I'm trying to work on mine or think about it too. The main worry I have is how some will react to it, I don't want to think my chapter is ready then post it and have it ripped to shreds for the planned finale.
I'm snitching one part admittedly partly from the anime, after pactio she can be seen if she wants without the golem or doll (not to mention hold onto things and such). Since that means it makes her stronger as a ghost, it'll give her more power to do the stuff we already knew she could do (ch 74, her intro), along with a pactio power.
That's why I worry it'll get some complaint.

Whenever you're steal- borrowing something from the anime, always remember to make sure it does not contradict canon.
I can't think of anything about that which contradicts the canon, myself.

I try to limit the amount of pactios outside of omakes. A pactio is like a track switch. You need to carefully consider if flipping it won't result in a trainwreck somewhere down the line, because people will do with it things you did not think of at first.

Just a nobody. Yep.
@IANCE: The main thing borrowed is the idea that the pactio allows her to be seen normally in ghost form, due to power increase. Since she never got one in the manga, there's nothing really to contradict.
@Sinclair: This is a special case that really should have been done before. Basically the point is to bind her to her card (if not to her own will, wasn't sure a pactio could do that though), rather than that desk in the 3A classroom. On a second thought after initial plan, it seemed to make better sense to do that before they went on another long trip. After all, what happens if she's that far away and something happened to the doll? I don't recall that being covered in the manga, if Akamatsu had given a shit at that point it should have been mentioned in relation to the petrification dart. But that didn't destroy it, either, so trapping her (not tapping her, dumb phone) was fine.

That sounds like a Magic, The Gathering game gone wrong somehow.

Now I feel really horrible about myself, cause I automatically inferred another meaning to that when I saw it originally on my phone. lol. :p I've been on the internet too long, it's poisoned me into reading things the most pervy way possible. :p

So I have began reading Caelum Consortium (which was for some reason posted in the Nanoha fanfic thread, even though there is no mention of Nanoha yet (as of chapter 6).
Anyway, I must say that I really like the story so far. The foreshadowing is clever, and the specific mix of funny heartwarming and drama suits my tastes well.

Is it on ffnet? I can't seem to find it there.

Caelum Consortium isn't, but Caelum Contortum is.

Double-post to try and kill the thread again.
“That sounds...plausible,” said Rei. I hadn't even noticed he-, him join the throng. “My information says she showed no interest in some potentially valuable blackmail material.” Brave boy, considering everyone present would, accurately, assume the dirt was on him.
“Did talk like she had bigger fish to fry,” said Shirogami. “What? I want the bastard taken down whether it's you or not.”
Kitsu sniffed. “She certainly seems to care about test scores for someone so far above us.”
“I care about your test scores because I don't like you,” I said. “You tried to bribe me. That tends to get my full attention.
“If I were really trying to frighten prospective clients into wanting my services, why have the only people attacked been middle schoolers? Money from St. Ursula or the University spends the same. And speaking of money, doesn't it seem like there are more newspapers being bought in these troubled times? The newspaper club is limited to the middle school.”
Sunada shrank from the scrutiny that had just turned on her, her smirk well and truly vanished from her face. “I-I've still got the recording! A smoking gun!”
“I bet you've got a good vocal mimic in the club, too,” I said.
“You can't prove anything!”
“The perp's right,” said Torako, looking as satisfied as, well, a cat. As seen by a mouse in its last moments. “We can't prove anything, as the guilty always say. We'd better head out and leave her here. I'm sure everyone can think of something to do with her.”
I gave Torako a Look. We'd talk later about encouraging mob justice. “We can't let her leave yet. I still need to ask her about the photographs.”
“The photographs?” asked Sunada, with that wondering-where-the-trick-was expression I'd seen so much of recently.
“Oh yes. The photographs of the victims of the attacks. I was wondering when you'd taken them. The subjects had fresh blood on them, and I couldn't work out why. They were cleaned up when they were brought to the infirmary, and the only people who would have seen them bloodied before then were the people who found them. And the attacker, of course. Funny thing is, I don't recall either of them being found by anyone from the Newspaper Club.”
Sunada had turned an absolutely fascinating shade of grey during my musings. “I think I would like to talk to a teacher now.”
“I'll go ahead and call one up. And I'm sure they won't have to deal with a large collection of curfew violations, will they?” At those magic words the multitude dispersed, while I called someone up to let them know I'd finally made sense of the whole tangled mess. Once Sunada had been collected and officially designated Not My Problem, Kamiya sidled up to me with a mien that reminded me strongly of Nodoka at around her age.
“You said you know Tatsumiya Mana? The Tatsumiya Mana?” she asked.
“There's only one, to the best of my knowledge.”
“Do you...would she...” she said, her face looking like eggs would fry on it.
I took pity. “I'll see if I can put you in contact with her. In exchange, I'd appreciate it if you didn't mention to anyone that I'm about to go in the infirmary and collapse from exhaustion.” Kamiya's a quick kid, and had me to a bed before I gave an involuntary demonstration of what I meant.
Perhaps I'd overdone it in the duel. Just a little bit.

I'll respond by trying to annoy and frustrate you.
Newest post of Ascension is on Iridia-tan.

More Detective Yue! I'm expecting an epilogue, or something, before a case-closed.
Rather than smart, I'd prefer to be wise. It would let me be silly more often.

Er, that was actually going to be the last snippet of the chapter and arc. The ending petered out more than I'd like, but I'm not sure what else I'd add.

Perhaps Yue talking to Torako about encouraging Mob Justice?
Sunada wrap-up?
Kamiya excitedly telling Yue about what happened when she met Mana?
I didn't know Konoka belonged to Yue? When did Konoka join the harem?

It started out as "my classmates Konoe" before I changed it. Thanks.
The Undeserving Successor's Pseudo-Kyoto Arc is almost finished. Finally, we're getting the famous Akamatsu genre shift! It STARTED as an immortals rip off of Fairy Tail, but UQ is actually about... GHOST ROMANCES!
And it's actually significantly less sucky for it!

Somehow I find this news infinitely hilarious and strangely heartwarming at the same time.
Hej, J Teeth, if you are reading this, do you have any plans of continuing Caelum Contortum?
Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.
I thought the Pseudo-Kyoto Arc was the one where they faced Fate and (for all of three panels) Tsukuyomi.
That makes the magical girl thing much less confusing than when I thought it was Yue.
