So... is anyone else having trouble accessing their thread watchlist? Because it ain't letting me.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariAnnnd, I'm back! The last three days have been a hassle for me. First off, my PSU burnt out and shut down on its own. When we figured it out, I went to the store to get a new PSU. A better one. Then when we installed it, the computer wouldn't start up. Turns out my hard drives had either been burnt when the first PSU overheated, or got fried when we plugged them into the new one via old cables when we actually needed the new ones.
Aside from a large collection of pictures, songs and files I've collected over the years, I've also lost ALL of my games along with their saved files.
And thanks to people I won't mention using up my External Hard Drive which I meant for backups for their own storage instead of getting their own, I didn't have any room on it for any backups. Fortunately, my more vital work is on the Internet.
Still, I've lost nearly most of my current life thanks to one stinkin' accident.
@Magey...
The thing I'm going for right now is FAR more low key than this. Granted this is great for something farther down the storyline, but for what I'm writing right now, too big
EDIT: ALSO, Mabel and Maggie would like a word or two on that 'no pets' policy.

I know you all miss meIf it's your external hard drive, delete their shit and put your own in there.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariAre you expecting me to believe Mouse doesn't count as a mascot?
Kurush: That's pretty rough.

Fate Grand Order players will know me as Ryusei-Go.Different people have different interpretations. Officially, Mouse, at this point in the series, is the mascot/defender of the Carpenter Threshold. He is also registered as a service dog to Maggie. However I don't know the Japanese laws on service animals, so some people of Asian origin might label him a pet.
I know you all miss meAnyone who tries to make Mouse leave is found suspiciously injured in out of the way corners. Evidence says a cat did it.
Spoiler warning, Mister is the real animal companion teacher. He just lets Luna serve as face because he can't speak human
I know you all miss meLuna is a teacher, Mouse is a department head. More pay, more prestige, and you don't actually have to deal with those bipedal annoyances. In his spare time, he writes a book about an average but heroic and his clumsy but well-intentioned pet wizard.
Leaving of New York tomorrow. FAA Regulation Hell, here I come.

And thanks.
How long you gonna be in the city Magey?
I know you all miss meA week and a half. Now off to the airport! Wish me luck. I have bad luck going into airports. I seem to set off every profile they have.

Good job on that pamphlet Magey. I don't get half of the references, but good job.
@Kurush Didn't we suggest I Drive to you at some point? Or was that someone else?
In unrelated news, I am not dead. I just don't feel very lively lately. One of those weeks I think.
Madman with a box? I'm a madman with a semi, a pretzel bender and a Heart of Gold!I recently came across a subtitled version of Kinnikuman. I am enjoying it far more than I expected I would.
Well, it is a fairly enjoyable series.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariThe original, or the sequel?
The original.
I LIVE! Also sort of homeless, as our airbnb place is makin is want to cancel but our hotel is too expensive to be practical. I don't know when next I can post. Wifi is had to find.
- Radical Girl Revy-chan
...
- Nanako
Also, Pathfinder now has a Magical Girl variant-archetype. It's for the vigilante, appropriately enough.
I'll look for it. We've finally settled on a place, thankfully with wifi. Next step, finding a game store for a new Vita!
Edit: here we go

Considering that Pathfinder does not have an iconic character FOR the Magical Child archetype, I don't foresee it being used.
QUESTION: Can someone write for me an 'official' sounding invitation to Ladybug to the Mahou Shon 000 Academy penned by Usagi? I just can't seem to get it right.
This is what I have so far:
Marinette had three notes from three faculty members to explain to her parents, though that had to wait until dinner. The ever lovely Chloé Bourgeouis had somehow managed to make a street vendor loose his cool and another Akuma began to tear up Paris. Thankfully being Ladybug was the only thing that seemed to go right that day. She couldn't even talk to her parents right. There was only one individual to whom the Parisian teenager could fully vent to.
"Tikki, I don't know what I'm gonna do." She sighed, having changed into her pajamas.
"Marinette, I know you had a bad day," Tikki, Marinette's small ladybug-looking mentor/power source, cooed. "Everyone has them."
"Yeah but when I have them, they just end pu spiralling out of control into these massive heaps of bad, badness!" She threw herself onto her chaise lounge. "Tikki, are you sure you picked the right person to be Ladybug?" The kwami hovered in front of her nose.
"Marinette, every time you ask that question, it's the same answer. Of COURSE you're right for Ladybug. I don't think anyone else has a big a heart as you do." She reached out and caressed Marinette's cheek.
"Thanks Tikki," she replied, placing a finger over the tiny appendage. "I just wish you came with an instruction manual. Or an FAQ."
Something stirred on her rooftop. It distinctly sounded like footsteps. For a brief moment, Marinette thought it was Chat Noir making one of his clandestine trips across Paris. Then she realized that her partner in heroics didn't have such loud, clompy footsteps. Teenager looked at kwami as both of them came to the chilling conclusion that there was a stranger on her roof.
Tikki and Marinette both exchanged glances. The girl gulped while the kwami handed her a pair of discarded knitting needles. "If he's bigger than you, go for the eyes."
The guardian spirit told her. Hands shaking, she accepted the offered weapons before climbing the stairs to her loft bed. It was only then that Marinette began rethinking the wisdom of having her roof hatch right above her bed. I mean, the only person she'd 'want' to drop in on her while she was asleep was Chat Noir, and that was only well after the two of them revealed their identites to each other. And only if the leather-clad superhero was waking her up for an akuma attack. Yes, this was the only acceptable time.
The roof hatch opened up into the brisk Parisian night. The chilled air sent a shiver down her spine as Marinette's eyes flirted around, searching the darkness for the tresspasser. "You heard them too, right Tikki?" She asked as the red spirit floated up to join her.
"You weren't hearing things Marinette, someone was up here." The pair emerged out onto the patio rooftop, knitting needles still positioned at the ready. Only the familiar sounds of nocturnal Paris greeted them with no sight of any mysterious rooftop hoppers.
"This is just wierd." The improvised weapons were discarded on a chair as Marinette walked over to the rooftop railing. Her kwami landed on her shoulder. "Maybe I should transform, see if someone's around."
"If someone IS around, then they might see you become Ladybug." The advice registered in the back of Marinette's brain. If Hawkmoth had sent someone to track Ladybug, then the worst possible thing would be to confirm Ladybug's home address. The still night refused to give up any secrets; no out-of-place noises, no mysterious silouettes against the city skyline.
Nothing save for a rather inocuous looking envelope left on her patio table.
"It's addressed to Ladybug."
Retreating back into her room, Marinette and Tikki examined the envelope left for them. It was made of plain white paper, sealed with clear tape, and the script used to write on it was incredibly ornate; the tail end of the 'y' on the name curving around into a small heart. Inside, Marinette could feel both a piece of paper, as well as something that felt like a key. It rattled a little when she shook it, and shifted as she handled the envelope.
"Well, if it's addressed to Ladybug, it means it's for you." Tikki informed her. "Right," she replied, digging her finger under the envelope flap. "But how did they know where to drop it off?" She tore into the paper and pulled out a folded piece of paper.

I know you all miss meYou can skip it and have it go to someone going ”who's insane enough to offer you a job?"
Okay, here's part one of the school advert/prospectus/applicants booklet I said I was writing...
Please be informed that Academy personnel will not assist in enforcing this decision upon your loved one.
Hopefully all answers to your questions will be contained in these pages. Hopefully you are also in possession of an unaltered copy and not a secretly cursed one that will cause this week's magically-induced misunderstanding, or worse, possessed by a monster. Should this be the case, feel free to visit our website or return to our venue to acquire an unaltered copy. Should you have any further interest or would wish our assistance in preventing an apocalyptic scenario, we run Open Days for prospective applicants, parents, guardians and magical mascots at regular intervals during the academic year, coinciding with our yearly cultural festival, sports festival, weapons expo, beauty pageant, and athletic meet., where staff and selected current students will be happy to offer tours, protection on the premises and to answer any questions you may have.
Appointments and dates of Open Days are available from the Academy admissions office. Please direct telephone, email, , telepathic messages, dream sendings, homing pigeons and other messenger animals, or postal inquiries to the Princess of Admissions, Mr. Yuuno Scrya, who will be delighted to reply. (Memo: please emphasize to Mr. Scrya that as this is an official publication, we are of course going to use his full formal position at the school. And tell him his latest petition for unisex job titles is denied. We don't have the budget to change all the labeling –Usagi)
The Houses of Study:
The Boarding School
Virtue Dormitories Facility Staff
Element Dormitories Facility Staff
Appeal Dormitories Facility Staff
Weapon Dormitories Facility Staff
Tradition Dormitories Facility Staff
These 25 dormitories are where applicants will be housed, provisioned, and given medical attention by the Academy 24/7 after application. For orphans, runaways, or those acting out of a natural human need to see less of their parents and other relatives, we can board applicants outside normal semesters. See enclosed table of premium fees for more details.
Due to traditional statistical probabilities, only one dormitory house in each facility is currently set up to accept male pupils. Entrance conditions are listed separately. Students capable of transexual transformation may apply for placement in the standard dormitories. For those applicants unlucky enough not to secure a boardingplace for themselves, the Forestry Management department maintains a well-stocked and animal rich preserve where students may enjoy an independent, self-sufficient lifestyle and a return to nature (Put better spin on this. It's not as bad as 'Hunger Games-esque Darwinian competition', but it could be better. – Usagi). And of course, as the academic period progresses, pupils will inevitably leave the academy or drop out for a variety of acceptable and inescapable reasons, such as rescuing kidnapped colleagues, loss of powers, ascension to a higher plane of existence, gaining the throne, recruitment by a secret organization, or death from natural, unnatural or supernatural causes. It is therefore always possible at a later date to transfer to our dormitory facilities. We maintain a waiting list for this reason.
Magical Mascots are housed in their own on-site facilities. Pets are not allowed. Any attempt to use hair dye and glitter to pass a pet off as a mascot are ground for immediate refusal of dormitory application.
