NEW BEGINNINGS

[makenaide]

Spring is here and newest crop of students have finally arrived at Crux Academy and Nebulae Institute. Both campuses are abuzz with activity as first years filter in, some confused, others excited and honored to be attending such a prestigious institution. Class assignments would be found on the large bulletin board toward the front of campus, and while some friends may find themselves once again sharing the same class, others will be given the opportunity to nurture new relationships with future friends (or enemies).

Classes for the first day will be short, punctuated by a welcoming ceremony led by each school's respective headmaster and headmistress, as well as an upperclassman that has some significance to the rest of the student body. Students are then permitted to take the rest of the day for themselves, to get acclimated to the campus as well as Galactica, should they so choose. Why not explore the school? Take a trip into the city? Or perhaps get to know your dorm mate, classmates or fellow faculty members? Or perhaps, if you are that sort of person, terrorize the town? The choice is yours.

Ah yeah, sorry bout that. I'll buy you a new one since the monster's down now.

[Considering it didn't seem like it was getting up but hmm...

Yeah, it's not moving yet. Must have hit it harder than she thought.]

<i [Her eyes go wide as Towa raises the bell and turns back toward the entrance. She's still just inside the doorway and tries to step out of the direct line of sight.

There's not a whole lot of room or time for her to get out of the way. At the very least Towa will probably get a glimpse of familiar looking purple hair darting off to the side.] </i>

Indeed. Eventually, you succeeded.

Now, what are the key lessons from this bout?

Re: Battle

[ms_perfection]

That you can't brute force it all the time?

And that asking for help is acceptable?

Sorry for the delay. Life ate my brains.

[eyesofabeast]

It's not a problem at all. It's easy to get lost when you're new here but after you get your bearings it's not so bad.

[He takes the chance to move up next to her, pointing to a stop on her map. He could just let her follow him to where she needed to go, but helping her to find her own way would be better in the long run, right?]

See, we're standing here right now and the dorms are all the way up here. [He traces the path out on the map then raises his hand pointing up toward one of the taller campus buildings.] The best thing to do if you get mixed up is keep your eyes up there, it makes a good landmark.

[eyesofabeast]

[It had been a little bit of an accident, really! What kind of self-respecting destined hero could turn away a girl with that much hunger in her eyes? Not that he's complaining. He's always up to making a friend.]

Sure, I could visit there agai-- [And suddenly there's a hand shoved in his face, prompting him to blink and tilt his head back a bit. He recovers a second later, laughing a bit and shifting his stuff to one hand to free up the other to shake Hime's hand.] You too, I'm Link. Are you new here?

[OOC: Sorry for the wait. Work and life devoured me for a little while.]

[zetsuketsu]

Heh.

[He laughs as he redirects his attention onto her, his grin only growing wider and losing just a little of that playfulness.]

Now there's the look I was hoping for. So, does that mean you want to fight me after all? If not, I'll have no choice but to find my fun somewhere else.

[zetsuketsu]

[Of course he can only expect that she'll learn the truth eventually and probably come after him with a head full of steam and an oath of violent revenge in her heart. Of course, that's where all the fun will lie! Ruining dreams until hope becomes despair and despair becomes hatred. What could be better?]

Heh. [He gives the Konstatue a light poke in the forehead before shrugging and brushing past her.] I'll leave you to find your own way then.

[almostanthy]

[ ....so her suspicions weren't unfounded. That saddens Towa. She heads back in the direction where she'd seen that hair disappear. Direct confrontation might be best -

but a Princess has other methods of problem solving. She rounds the corner. ] Ah, excuse me!

[ That girl better be here, though. Or this is about to get really embarrassing. ]

[ladyofluminosity]

[ It was unsettling, that grin, and while her hand still hovered over her pendant, she kept her eyes on him, taking in any kind of subtle movement. If he thought this was going to be a game of cat and mouse, he would be dead wrong. ]

I have better things to do than teach you a lesson, to be perfectly honest. Besides, you seem to be by yourself today. Pity, that.

[switch_over]

[When Towa rounds the corner she'll see the other girl about half way down the hall. She'll continue on, acting as f she didn't hear the other girl.]

Re: Battle

[high_on_daylight]

Both correct, but there's one more.

Don't be a hero. Be a superhero. And consider what the difference in wods means.

Re: Battle

[ms_perfection]

Superhero huh...

[She wasn't really considering herself a legit superhero, but with these powers...]

Thanks, I'll try.

Re: Battle

[high_on_daylight]

What else is a magical girl, really? Consider their history.

Re: Battle

[ms_perfection]

Thing is we don't have magical girls back home. Just superheroes.

[bluehairedotaku]

[Konata lifts her face to look at Kamala.

Then mooooooves close to inspect her face as the dust settles.]

Do we know eachother? You do look a little familiar if you are to buy me a new chococornet.

[Unbeknown to Konata, another monster shifted slowly in place.]

[ms_perfection]

[Kamala sweated nervously at the question and held up her hands.] Um, no we don't but, I figure it's something I should do.

[Despite the outward appearance being Carol, her voice was still Kamala.]

I'll get you food soon, don't worry.

[bluehairedotaku]

My name is Konata Izumi! Sup! I'm also known as Crystal Sapphire Fairy. I have a lot of doujinshi about me where I come from!

[Which... Konata speaks with more pride than she should have.]

We can get food together, but I know how we can pay for a new meal to make up for the loss of that chococornet, and we can agree on it.

[Another of these monsters rumbles from beneath the streets, and appears! Meters above the defeated companion, and with the form of a caterpillar, Konata proudly brings her wand up.]

WE'LL MAKE HIM PAY WITH HIS BLOOD!

[Cue Konata's transformation sequence into a being of happiness and joy and justice.]

[ms_perfection]

There's fanfic of me, I understand.

[Not her, Carol, but she was trying to hide her identity still.]

[She blinked curiously at the surprise arrival of the monsters, but Konata's exclamation made her jump.]

Well all right, sounds good to--whoa.

[That's a sparkly transformation.]

[bluehairedotaku]

[There were more sparkles than there would have ever thought to be physically possible, or legally allowed. A frilly blue and white skirt formed, an elaborate dance took place, and the lights that seemingly come out of nowhere dedicated just for her.

With the stock transformation sequence finished, she was armed like a heavenly angel with her white and blue skirt, her graceful wand, and an M134 Minigun.]

Now, now. What are your powers? I avoid collateral damage whenever I can, so don't worry about me. I can use a chainsaw if you want, too! No use in risking it, you know?

[ms_perfection]

Ah, well I can grow, and shrink and expand parts of my body and use the kinetic force behind it.

[Said monsters were getting up. And holy crap was that a minigun?] So if you're game with some punching and stuff...
