I forgot to mention this earlier but apparently the numbernet gave me the perfect white elephant gift for Christmas. Which I usually don't even celebrate.





It was made of actual fish so I threw it out. Who even makes a tie out of fish? That has got to be the most pointless thing ever and I know Arthur is going to fixate on it when he sees it.

Oh, and whoever sent me almost child porn, you are VERY lucky you sent that by numbernet. Not that you had another option.

Anyway, neither of those things are actually relevant to why I'm posting right now. Put simply, I seem to have hit a point where I don't think I can get anything else from just sitting at home chatting with random people. Since a lot of what I've received is an unsolvable mystery on its own I need a few more pulsing echoes, and the best way I can think to do that is to just stare the enemy in the face before I run away like a little girl since I can't actually do anything to them.

Short version is, I need protection so I can get more stuff and more ideas as to how to get more stuff without needing protection.

very fashionable cats would love you

but what do you want protection from? do you plan on just walking up to danger and staring at it until you learn magic?

text

[vanisland]

I don't think any of the cats we've had here were very concerned with fashion, but I wouldn't want to attract cats anyway.

That would be the gist of it. Or rather, walk up to danger, run away and hope I learned magic. Or rather gained the ability to use it since I think those songs qualify, but aren't useful for fighting.

theyd just lick you anyways.

so you remembered a bunch of songs that are supposed to do magic? but you dont have the magic yet. that seems kind of unfair but i dont think im much of a bodyguard yet.

my names marina santana.

Well, two. Although if I tried guessing at what they'd actually do, one of them suppresses negative emotions and the other does far too much damage to be practical.

I try not to give my name out even on this, but since I can be ID'd anyway call me Jacqli.

[dragon_blossom]

thats kinda dangerous maybe you should remember more songs before trying to make them do their thing.

oh but youre right there are like one or two people here with connections to blood keys? hopefully i dont end up murdered in my sleep but uh hi jacqli.

WHO WOULD DO SUCH A HORRIBLE THING

[...right on cue.]

[vanisland]

[Totally nailed it. She actually understands how someone works which is... actually kind of an accomplishment.]

Precisely. I fail to see any value in such a thing. Therefore, it was probably an art major.

At least it presumably just appeared out of nowhere, so there aren't actually any less fish in the world.

I DON'T THINK IT'S ART IT COULD BE A THREAT

DO YOU THINK THE ECHOES ARE THREATENING YOU

[Text]

[vanisland]

"Threatening" me into getting closer to the action, possibly. That, or just getting a "healthier" social life.

[italktofish]

BUT THREATENING YOU INTO SOCIALIZING MORE WITH DEAD FISH THE FIENDS

EVEN THOUGH HAVING A SOCIAL LIFE IS PRETTY OUTRAGEOUS AND LOTS OF FUN

[lackinginfaith]

That's disgusting.

[vanisland]

I agree with you unless you were referring to my request for help.

[lackinginfaith]

No, the dead fish.

Sure. It's a much better idea than just running out and doing it yourself.

[vanisland]

Is that an offer?

[lackinginfaith]

Absolutely. My being around might help you, after all. The Precure keep gaining echoes around each other, and you and I are supposed to be similar as well.

[pianistofraielin]

um, if you're talking about going out and finding blood keys, i think that's probably a bad idea.

but if you're going to do it anyway, all star precure has already dealt with them a couple times so you'd be safe with us!

[vanisland]

All Star Precure? Is that what our magical girl squad is calling themselves?

That's not half bad a name, although the "All Star" is a bit confusing since this is the first team of Precure.

[Derailed by magical girls. Yep.]

[text]

[pianistofraielin]

[as if russel ever notices topics derailing...!]

yeah!!

it's not the first though if you think about it. most of [us? them? us??] us were on different teams in our past-life memories so this really IS a collection of all-stars from different groups!

[text]

[vanisland]

But not everyone will know that immediately. But if there were several different teams in these past lives that all happened to be called Precure, that's either an interesting coincidence or a potential franchise. Perhaps both.

[Miranda your doujin writer is showing.]

[text]

[pianistofraielin]

maybe they're teams from different areas or different time periods. it makes sense to me that you wouldn't just have ONE group of magical girl heroes in the whole history of the world.

Been a while.

[Because it has, not that he needs to state as much]

If you need a hand, let me know.

text

[vanisland]

Tell me something I don't know.

It's certainly looking like I could use it, though.

voice

[ex_elude798]

Alright. What'd you have in mind?

text

[vanisland]

When we - and that's the entire club, "we" - next make a big move, or even a little one, do you think you could act as my bodyguard?

voice

[ex_elude798]

Sure, I can handle that.
