Well, looks like Nyro will have her shot at Dex.

The next match will be volunteers, and will be the final encounter of the class part of the day.

And yes, the mention of the antarctic discovery will become important.

I do wonder how....

Also, I have no idea what Jenna's class should be. Should we just avoid specifically saying?

And what do you think of this "shell game" idea? I haven't tried this before really.

On second thought, I have an idea.

Put her in a new Spell Circle class, blue paint class.

I have a plan.

Do you think Nyro can defeat Dex? I've given you clues about his power already, and its weakness.

Honestly, I'm not sure she will win.
From my guessing, I'd assume his magic is wind based. The barriers are being used to create a buffer between him and damage. If I had to guess, said barriers too are generated by wind as well. Each time these things start coming to him he makes a chant and then the hax seems to appear. Hence, it can be seen that the barriers, however they may work don't work on automatic. He's gotta make them work, as can be seen when he takes out the warehouse and adjust the barriers around him to push the falling objects to his side (instead of letting him splat).

Getting by that barrier is going to be a challenge. Dex's wind should either fan Nyro's flames or put them out (If you're thinking "so what's the result of a fireball and a windball colliding?" I don't know either). Aside from said fire magic her only other strong suit is physical, and as long as those barriers are there she's not getting in. If she's able to sneak attack (one of the ideas she was running with, and Firedragon to the face) if the barriers aren't automatic she can ohko him.

But..., I'm not sure how much she realizes on how his stuff works. All she's seen is him stopping the knife, launching it at her, the crater, and those razor wind things. And that last one she should get her starting to put things together once she has a moment to think. Which she does not have at this time.

In a way, this fight seems to remind me of Rock Lee Vs. Garra (with a different type of shield hax)
(granted, whenever the No-Sell shield comes it, it hints of that)


I appoligize for the delay. I have a trig test tommorow, and I have to be ready for it.

Actually, to spoil it, his Shields are Non-Elemental, and simply grab and shape, contort and or direct what comes into contact with them. The chanting he does is basically him calculating the effect he wants his attack to have.

His power revolves around an understanding of how the physical world works.

And yes, his powers are, for the most part, not automatic. He needs to have one hundred percent concentration on his tasks and what he wants each of his shields to do, or he cannot do half of his Hax-ish stuff.

If Nyro can distract him or divert his attentions, she can score a win. However, in all likelihood, she won't be able to find out what he is doing before he manages to use one of his One-Hit Kill attacks.

And yeah, I definitely see where you're coming from about the Lee vs Gaara fight.

So, what pokemon would your character have?

Nathan would have Regice, what with it being made of Antarctic ice.

What about Jenna? Maybe Magmortar or Blastoise due to the cannons?

(I will answer the pokemon question when I get a chancen to sit down)

Swing, how do you want this fight to go? Continue, be short, or get very hot?

Hmm, we should end it soon. Whoever ends up winning, really, depends on how the ensuing events are handled.

The final fight of the class day is between the Jerk Jock and Amanda.

And ew.

The Silmarul Cultists basically follow a Dark God of Body Horror and the Despair Event Horizon, though, so that much can be...expected...but still, even I'm disgusted over here.

Everyone would be disgusted...unless you're a COMMUNIST!

So, anyway, it seems class is now over, and I ought to get getting back into the groove and have Nyro say a few words to Dex before departing.

I wonder if anyone's got anything in store for her. We'll find out later.

Given she just watched Tucker go from curbstomping Amanda to getting curbstomped, I am wondering how she's reacting to this.

Dang, that was a lot to catch up on.

It's too late for me, I'll post tomorrow.

So, Amanda's some kinda of creature. Hmm, I suppose Nyro would find her kinda intriguing, though on the Elemental Paper Rock Scissors she'd be kinda screwed. No ability to penetrate and fire wouldn't work too well on her.

I could see her whispering to one of the students "what happened to them all?" wanting to know a bit more, and she still needs to move a bit towards Dex too.

Tucker, Nyro would completely disregard. Pretty much he's made himself out to be a pig in her eyes. He's the type of Jerk Jock Nyro usually has a tendency to stab.
Granted, she's promised her sis that she'd "be good" so she may try to avoid a fight, but if he starts one she's gonna be limping away from it.

If you could guess, most avoided her and she was quite by herself for her prior education. Except a few idiots who thought a troubled loner was easy beddable prey. They learned the hard way


One question...what's going on with Qord? Gemina and Taurin? I need to re-read it again, but what happened?
Two question. Were we gonna show whatever the heck Amber and Matthew were gonna talk about? I did remember she was going to ask him if he could spend some time with Nyro.

too late...sleepy...night....

Qord is insane. He might be obfuscatingly insane, but you'll have to wait and see.

On question 2, yeah, we were gonna have Amber and Matthew talk, basically about what is going on in and near the school, presumably also entailing their suspicions about Leonard, John Smith and others.

As for Nyro and Dex, I'd say they make the perfect couple, ironically enough. Both could be massively Tsundere toward each other.

Wait, shipping?

I ship Amanda/Leonard and Nathan/Fantasia if anyone cares!

#667: Mar 22nd 2013 at 12:02:20 AM

[up][up] I meant more as to what happened in that scene, and what's going on with Jenna?

(and/or if I should add a Fantasia interrupt into it)

EDIT: Decided to have nurse fantasia do a follow-up on nathan. If you guys want her elsewhere, let me know (here or through P Ms)


In terms of shipping,

Nyro x Dex does seem nice, especially that I know Nyro's spoilers. If dex is anything similar, she'd be a good Kindred Spirit

Nyro x Matthew is really easy too. Figuring she's been crushing on him since she was a young teenager, and considers the man to be her role model, if she got close enough to him he could easily advance it.

I think Nathan/Fantasia's nice too, but that's gonna be far from easy. I also think Fantasia/Leonard too is a cute couple, but I don't think they've met on good terms once yet.

In terms of being able to date/romance from easiest to hard...
- Amber
- Nyro (tougher, but not my much)
- Nyro + Amber (yes, it is possible. It's just a tad tougher then the Nyro Route.)
- Fantasia

Neither of these 4 outcomes are a walk in the park though. Fantasia's probably the hardest girl of most of this cast to successfully romance and enter into a relationship with (and probably harder then Amanda.
Nyro's got +1 towards Dex and his roommate; Nathan's got a +1 already for Fantasia.

If I asked Fantasia whom she loved (who wasn't a fictional character) she'd grab Galaxy and give him a bear hug telling me that She and him are the best OTP. I'd tell her that's not what I meant, but she wouldn't care telling me that if there's one guy in the world she'd spend eternity with, it's him. She'd then hug him, and Galaxy and I would both sigh.

And Word of God here, Fantasia and Galaxy are Platonic Life-Partners / Like Brother and Sister

Nick, that bit in your last post, was that Mikami about Jenna or Leonard about Amanda. I could see it fitting both?

NickTheSwing Since: Aug, 2009
#669: Mar 25th 2013 at 12:17:23 PM

The page header is Dex talking to Nyro.

Currently, Mikami is walking away from an unconscious Jenna.

Maybe a run in with Nathan and Fantasia...

I'd make a bigger post, but ATM I got school in a few hours. When I get some time tomorrow I'll make the post.

Also for the decision on answering Nyro's question Swing, interesting choice.

And until I come back and do post, enjoy this.

Phantasy Star Online Two's Ruins (combat) music.

I love this track, I love it so much.

I had my post, and then I totally lost it.

nooooo!

.*goes to recreate*

Post recreated.
Sadly, I don't think I'll be around for most of Friday and Saturday. I have back to back 11 hour shifts (nearly close Friday, practically open Saturday.), those are never fun. Hopefully Saturday night if I'm not exhausted.

So I made a new Prequel RP to this titled Magic Academy The Early Years.

Anyone want to join that one too? It could be used to set up plot points related to events that happened a while back.

MusikMaestro from Ireland Since: Jul, 2012 Relationship Status: Heisenberg unreliable
#674: Apr 1st 2013 at 12:20:54 PM

I'm gonna join, as I said over there, but I wanna see a few more other characters first, so I can get some ideas and know what I'll be working with.

If there's none in a few days, I'll make one from scratch though.

NickTheSwing Since: Aug, 2009
#675: Apr 1st 2013 at 12:33:54 PM

I made my first character.

There will be a few more.
