PCs[edit]
Anna[edit]
Anna leaned back against the statue to think about how to respond to Nick's question--but before she could, his cthonic girlfriend showed up and they went swimming, and a few minutes later they winked out of sight, probably teleporting like Anna had.
Anna crossed her arms--the guy really couldn't change, could he? It was kinda sad, really. Humans could be amazing people, and so could non-humans, but this guy was so set on walling himself off from others that he'd never realize it. One day, maybe, he'd get all the power he was looking for--but he wouldn't have anybody to share it with.
She waited on the beach for a while, watching the sky and the ocean, like the great stone heads that had been doing the same thing for so many hundreds or thousands of years. Monster solidarity, maybe, if the statues were more than stone--but it seemed rude to ask.
Every now and then, a gull cawed, spying something just out of reach. It was peaceful, getting to see the world from a different point of view; it made all of life's problems seem just a little smaller, a little less mean. But peace couldn't last forever--in time, after the tide had gone out and the lone gull had moved on to better venues, Anna's watch beeped, alerting her that the hour was up.
She reached over and patted the statue companionably. "Happy hunting, old man."
A moment later she, closed her eyes, stepping back to the hour before...
Mina[edit]
Mina took a few seconds to focus her will, channeling Essence through her tiny body for her spell. To Mina, magic is much more than just knowledge and power. Magic is life. Not just alive, but life – the people she loves, the dream she seeks, the things she does, even the food she eats, every thing – that is Mina’s life, no matter how trivial it is. That is Mina, just another catgirl attending a monster school, as ordinary as anyone else, yet unquestionably unique. And that’s Mina's Magic. No secret words to chant, no mystic gestures to play. She is her magic, and so does everyone and everything around her. This connection makes everything unique, special, magical, with no additional will working on her part. All Mina had to do is feel this connection in her heart…and reach out for it.
“In the name of Unconquered Sun Wukong, Mina hence name this Charm as the First Cheerleading Excellency!”
Mina declared in a volume only those around her could hear, and the Essence flew out from her body like a river of song and rainbow, reach out to bless everyone she cares with all the grace and agility required for awesome cheerleading, even if they couldn’t feel the subtle boosting in their own abilities just yet.
…Except for Hen-chan and Micah. If the two boys couldn’t feel any Magic on themselves, that’s because there wasn’t any.
Polly[edit]
A swirling cloud of dust spun onto the field as the introduction to the music played, with nothing else visible inside. It reached the designated area, and... Harry the Sasquatch tumbled out of the front of it, landed awkwardly, righted him(?)self, and then thrust an arm upwards.
Polly shot straight up twenty feet into the air, glowing like a star, and the singing started... but it wasn't coming from the loudspeakers.
She landed on the air, and slowly danced her way down an invisible spiral staircase, shaking her hips and pom-poms as she went, her light illuminating the other dancers below her as the dust cloud dispersed, revealing Micah, singing in the middle of all of them.
As she danced, the others joined her, doing backflips and cartwheels, or dancing in sync with her, and being thrown high in the air in arcs that crossed over her path.
As they continued, Harry tried to imitate the moves of the dancers, at first awkwardly, and then more smoothly. Anna appeared, was thrown high in the air by Hentai, then turned to a statue in midair and crashed into the ground, slamming into a seesaw that hadn't been there before, launching Sam high into the sky.
Polly reached the ground and joined the others, all moving together, all dancing together, showing off their individual skills and talents, unashamed of who they were, proud of their true natures, and finally all flipping together to form a rough outline of the school's insignia, not flat on the ground, but vertically, in the air-- all supported by Hentai's tentacles.
This is who we really are, the dance said, And we're not ashamed of that. Deal with it.
