She seems to be mostly paying attention to the room right now, and I notice that her eyes seem to shift colour. How did I not see that before? I bet she has so many stories to tell. Hmmmm. She was right. She really is *beautiful*, not cute. I wonder if anyone will ever call me beautiful or cute, well, my mother used to but that totally doesn't count, now does it?

Why. are. we. so. cute.

>>33233118
Oh boy, time for more witchery!

>>33233118
I still have faith, Hexer!

Don't follow in Angelic's footsteps!

Time for another witchin hour!

>>33233174
You'd need to set precedent here, but with High Body and Medium Force you'd be taking a step in the right direction since Raven already confers a somewhat higher sturdiness to those aligned with him/her/it as their totem animal.

>>33233272
What are the totems of our friends?

>>33233272
Nooo chainsaw has no elegance. Let's go with swords or spears or naginatas as suggested previously.

>>33233306
> not twin short swords and stealth spells for maximum rogue witch

>>33233306
Chainsaw has plenty of elegance.

It's brutally elegant, in fact.

>>33233335
Rogues aren't very protecty.

>>33233306
Well, that's up to playerbase to decide, isn't it? Though that being said, you'd have to first MAKE a chainsaw somehow.

...I wanted to reveal that through an alt-PoV, but on second thought it might not quite work and is prone to change anyway.

What does Helena have to do to keep her priestess powers? Can she?

>>33234009

Are they even worth following any kind of restriction or taboo for?

How many people are there here?

>>33234081
>The Shining Lady Athra is the goddess of new life, spring, music and healing. Usually worshipped by artisans, craftsmen, housewives and farmers. They run hospitals and orchestras as their main means of worship, each member believed to be a leaf on the tree that is their church.
I doubt this goddess is highly restrictive.

>Minor ones, though for how much longer is another matter. Among other things she can detect and differentiate the life force signatures of living beings (hide-and-seek is one of those things clerics of Lady Athra play as a form of training), requires a lot less sleep than normal people and has a basic intuitive understanding of the human body.
But I'd say yes. These powers are pretty sweet and they're low-grade!

>>33234186
>has a basic intuitive understanding of the human body.
...I'm a dirty, dirty old man.

>>33233896
Hmmm, interesting.

>>33234009
Keep acting like she's still in her service, avoid shedding blood for any reason, don't wear or use things made from animals (eating meat is okay if it was killed a certain way, but taking a trophy from an animal is seen as obscene and degrading), don't worship another deity, some other things. It's possible, but difficult.

>>33233853
It's not.

>>33233491
Actually we sleep in the same room so we are bound to see the tat eventually.
>>33234186
Those are pretty sweet.

>>33234351
>It's possible, but difficult.
Those restrictions don't look too onerous for the faithful. We'll know if she intends to give it a shot soon enough.

>>33234351
Is Athra the one who handles straight marriages?

>>33234501
>avoid shedding blood for any reason

>>33234484
Witches are fighters.

>>33234550
Not all of them. She could easily be a healer.

>>33234601
Not to mention our sensing magic and getting Chantseeker earlier.

I wonder if the crits will get us a trait this time.

>>33234601
Who is the oldest in our party anyway?

>>33234601
High potential, not high power. Yet.

>>33234647
Eriadne or Evangelyne probably.

>>33234647
Eriadne. Older noble girl.

I don't remember Evangelyne's age. I'm guessing it's around Maria's.

>>33234601
Witch houses are organized by cells or something. We should request being allowed to make one if that's possible.

>>33234738
I think we're going to be put in one automatically purely to limit the amount of characters to a managable level. That way they all get personalities.

>>33234647
Youngest is Helena probably. And she's so daughterud. HEADPATS INCOMING.

>>33234816
First she needs to be taught that Eriadne is actually pretty okay.

>>33234889
That's what chantseeker is yea. It's a neat little detail that the narration gets a little more sophisitcated each time Maria is close ot magic or Eriadne.

Eriadne is Magic.

I wonder what Charm/Bunny does.

>>33234978
I figure we'll learn all about Totems in, like, our first class. No need to get eager.

Hm. No, it probably doesn't count. Does Eriadne think I'm pretty? Hmm. No, unlikely. Forget that, impossible. Too bland, too short, too strong in the arms. Aaah, now I made myself depressed again. Get a hold of yourself, you're a Lady now, you shouldn't need to worry so much about what my friends think. Now that I think about it, where *are* the others?

Spying about I see Evangelyne a few paces behind us in the corner, an oohing and aahing Helena tightly in her grip while wearing an expression I know too well from back home. Seems the priestess wandered off before and Evangelyne is determined to not let it happen again. I nod to them both, smiling, when a voice from up front pulls my gaze away.

"Greetings, aspirants. We will now briefly go over the various fields of study and what they mean. I am Noreen Choshalle of house Airis".

The tall grey-haired woman pauses, looking across the gathered crowd like a judge, then continues while walking back and forth on the same spot.

"That's *Mistress* Choshalle to you, is that understood?"

Nodding, and a few "Yes, Mistress" are the answer. Her dress is strange, a long and red with symbols and a long slit on one side that shows off her thigh whenever she moves.

"Good. Now. You've all picked a house, and that's good. Each house can fulfill a role, but no two houses will fulfill the same role".

"Now. Is everyone here?" She begins reading names.

"What's house Airis, I thought there were only three?". Eriadne shrugs at my whispered question.

"They're the Watchers". I half-turn, giving her a questioning look.

"They are those that make sure Witches don't become divided. The director is of house Negaya, who makes sure nobody from outside influences us too much". I just stare at her.

"It means", she sighs "that the old crow in front and her cronies protect Witches from themselves while Director's house does the same for the outside".

"...oh".

"You didn't really get that, did you?"

"I did!"

She shrugs and shouts a clear "HERE" as her name is called out, apparently unashamed about the attention she's drawing.

Name taking done Noreen -Mistress Choshalle-- rifles through her papers, then looks back at us.

"Now. I need all who may have Draconic ancestry to gather in the left corner--"

I sigh unhappily as Eriadne moves away after patting my shoulder, leaning against the wall to support myself though I'm starting to feel stronger.

"--and all who served in clerical service to a deity of some fashion in the middle".

Evangelyne seems hesitant to let Helena go, giving her a "don't you DARE get in trouble"-look as she skips to the centre where a couple other girls have gathered already.

"Finally, I'll need all those who might already have used magic to step forward".

>>33236334
And then we hug because we're just that pure.

>>33236334
I can imagine Eriadne experiencing some serious cognitive dissonance and thinking Maria is cute without acknowledging that she's a child because cute is the only suitable word for her, after all.

Yea she's more Dandere with tsun tendencies. I actually can't imagine the girl laughing.

Eh, on one hand she's definitely kind of meant to come off as a bit grating, but on the other, I don't think she's THAT bad, and the dynamic between her and the MC is pretty different and nice in its own way I think.

>>33236571
She's a know-it-all spaz. I can see how you could dislike that.

>Her protectiveness of Helena is totally adorable and you're wrong if you disagree, though.
Full adoption mode engaged.

>>33236571
I like the dynamic she brings, but I think it's a bit too early to be making such judgments. She hasn't had enough screentime to make them accurately.

>>33236571
I like that she isn't a bookish nerd. Wait we need a bookish nerd. It's anime rules.

>>33236746
Nah, I think Eriadne will semi-qualify.

If there are five totems and five houses, are there also actually five forms of Low Magic? Is the fourth discipline Love?

If house Alumandra were always caught up in their books they would have nobody to defend them after all, and though House Nefesh fight most of our battles even they need healers and scholars at times".

It's meaningful just not the be-all, end-all like if we had picked a Clan in Vampire: The Masquerade that kind of shoehorns you into a roll.

Aw man, I was hoping for Vanguard for maximum Guard Witch but Hunting and Night-banishing is fine too, I guess.

>>33244413
Vanguard sounds like a frontline fighter to me, that is offensively oriented.

>>33244413

That's a funny way to spell 'punch it in the face and drag people that are lost back out of it'.
MARIA THE RAVEN, NIGHT-PUNCHER.

>>33244425
With guard's daughter background and Raven that'd be pretty fitting. I don't think Eriadne is too physical except in bed.

But it don't matter. The other two highest voted choices are cool too.

Also Hex can't count.

>>33244453
She is the hero this Academy deserves!

>>33244474
Just not the one whose antics it has the patience for right now.

>>33244465
>except in bed.
She's probably a fish in bed. Evangelyne would probably be most proactive might bring a few companions either human or artificial to join in on the fun. Helena would be cute and eager to please but terrible at it.

>>33244499
Anon pls, you're putting too much thought into this.

>>33244465

Eriadne is there to look good. Inspire through presence alone. Or dragon magic. I dunno.

And stop lying. I know what you do at night!

Is Yuzrah an actual celestial body the way the others are?

>>33244699

She's a girl so no magic that isn't sparkly hair or colour shifting eyes for her.

Now that I write it it sounds so hilariously like a mary sue character image.

Or have had her parents killed when she was young and swear vengeance.

>>33244799
They are dead nevertheless.... she probably doesn't remember them though or accepted it.

>>33244790
To be honest we would be the most likely one to get raped.

>>33244803
Actually, now that I think of it, I can't recall if their cause of death was given.

> STOP SAYING SORRY AND WORK THAT PEASANT TONGUE

Now I'm hard. Fuck.

>>33244814
It was the butler.

>>33244814
Uh, they're not dead. Her family cut her off because that's just how Witches work.

>>33244843
She got adopted after her parents died. Inherited the claim, then lost it when she became a Witch.

>>33206294
>They were, and when they died the claim to the Main House's leadership passed onto. Having to raise her future superior may or may not have played part in her aunt's resentment towards her, though honestly it's likelier she was just an unpleasant person in general. Seeing how Eriadne is legally dead now she must feel somewhat relieved...

>>33244852
oh okay then

>>33244852
So not exactly the happiest kind of backstory either...

>>33244852
I wonder who inherited the titles now that Eriadne is no longer eligible. Considering the setting, males and females probably inherit equally, and it may be the standard Eldest inherits procedure.

>>33244916
Which is pretty interesting, you would think that the fact that males of noble blood are superior would lead to a strict patriarchy.

I'd so run a campaign in this setting. Modern but not present day fantasy is my fetish.

>>33244988
The rule might also be agnatic-cognatic primogeniture, which means the eldest son inherits, or the eldest daughter if there are no sons. Primogeniture meaning eldest heir.

...I play too much CK2.

>>33245035

No such thing.

>>33245075
You're implying it's some thing Hex is proud of

This thread is actually a reminder that he can't finish things and that he's a bad person for getting peoples hopes up

>>33245086
I'm not saying that.

I just wish the fucker would actually notify us when he fucks off and completely forgets to post updates or leaves the threads.

Evangelyne and I step forward, the other girl giving me a loopy grin before grabbing my hand. Hers is tough and calloused, not unlike mine, proof of her working life.

She just shakes her head. Our group seems the largest, mostly older girls though I see what must be twins of Helena's age clinging to each other, looking *very* scared. Following my look Evangelyne scowls, then nods to herself as if making a decision and pushes forward till we're just behind them, then bends down to whisper something I can't hear to them both. They turn at the same time wearing almost the same look of shock, but a few more words seem to calm them down. Huh, she really has a thing with younger girls!

Eriadne's gathering of novices is a bit smaller, many having similar white hair though even among her own she… sort of sticks out. Weird, I can't place my finger on just how she does it. Maybe that's just how she is. Always at the center, always a bit more special than the others. I shake my head to clear it. Stop dreaming and concentrate for once, will you?

Helena seems to have very few of her kind, the entire group no more than maybe fifteen girls in total. Seems like the Goddess doesn't often choose those already in service of others deities, then? She seems a bit uncomfortable, sneaking glances at a raven-haired girl a few years younger than her who seems to be trying very hard to ignore her. An old enemy maybe?

Mistress Choshalle is still busy with her counting frame, but already attendants are taking Caste applications and enrolling us in our courses one by one. Evangelyne chooses to become part of Yuzrah -actually, do I know what her House is yet?- and the Combat and Metaphysics. The twins seem to be in Algol, though I miss what their courses are. I strain to hear what Eriadne is choosing, but she's too far away. This is frustrating!

That's the plan. I love dice pools. Might use a veeery simplified One Roll Engine for magical combat since Spellweaving is trickier than just pass/fail.

To take things away from the fawning over adorable characters, these abilities sound pretty useful...but until we get some experience with the system it's impossible to say for sure. These both from seeing/sensing?

How would Maria even START to broach the subject? I don't think she has the capacity to grasp concepts such as corruption of innocence, hareming or promiscuous lesbianism.

>>33245733
You can make it more awkward by walking in on her while she's occupied with her lolis.

>>33245727
C-can we at least do both?

>>33245757
Anon please!
Go be lewd about Eriadne or something!

>>33245778
But that's as much to do with numbers on the dice as anything - it's still perfectly possible to discuss the potential uses and pros/cons of the abilities as it is.

>>33245766
Well, Heart of the Storm looks pretty good, as far as I can read that it makes our words have more weight in stressful situations, so people will listen to us and obey. A commander-type skill which makes as the go-to group leader.

>>33245788
> * makes us the go-to group leader

>>33245788
It also does nothing to actually improve our ability to know what to say.
Probably more for making shell-shocked plebs move their delicious plebby asses.

>>33245713
>>33245788

Eye of Judgement is from your Sensing focus and Sirius Caste, Heart of the Storm is synthesized from Sirius + Maria's behaviour so far.

A Sirius Caste is expected to save people's bacon when everything goes down south HARD, and HotS is one means to this end.

By the same token they're expected to rely on their group while protecting them form harm, which is where Eye of Judgement comes in. Your choices so far have synergized quite well, in my personal and 100% biased opinion.

...why does spellcheck not know the word "synergized"? This is BULLSHIT.

Nope, still underlines. Iluminati is not recognized either. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

QM is filtering lewd suggestion through Maria's consciousness anyway so it's probably going to stay somewhat balanced.
