You should implant microchips in her sister more often!

She rests her chin on top of your head. “Did Mato tell you anything about what happened last night?”

You shrug. “Some kinda anomalous fire thing. Your sister kicked its ass, apparently, but...” you trail off, somewhat uncomfortable due to the combined intimate contact and odd subject of conversation.

“You think it was something to do with... 'that', don't you?”

You nod. “Yeah. Yeah, I do. But that's not the weirdest part, Akane-chan.”

“Oh? Enlighten me, then; what is the weirdest part?” The playful tone of voice she uses sets you more at ease.

She really knows you in and out, huh?

“There doesn't seem to be any actual harm to her body. Only... only her mind, yanno? And, judging by the pictures Mato showed me, there was a lot of fire- or maybe just a lotta heat- being tossed around. I think her Personal Reality's probably taken a dramatic change, presumably for the more powerful.”

Akane's arms tighten around you a little more. “How much more powerful, you think?”

You shrug as best as you can (though Akane's embrace makes it a tad difficult). “It's pretty much impossible to tell, but- if I had to guess- I'd say she's at least mid-Level 4 at this point. Hence, the chip. Nothing too fancy, just a few basic safeties- kinda like a power limiter or something. Should keep her from accidentally melting stuff around her every time she gets all 'fired up', though it'll probably mess up her heat-sense thing, too, but that seemed like it was messed up anyways. I figured that was an acceptable trade-off.”

Akane's hands move a bit further up your body, to a place that makes your cheeks burn. “I never really gave you enough credit, did I, Miku-chan?” She brings her mouth to your ear. “It's kinda silly, huh? It took seeing our sisters all cuddled up like they are to realize...”

The gunmetal-gray cybernetic limb that replaced your right arm so long ago twitches in anticipation and a faint whirr of servo-motors. You brush your left hand across the place where the prosthetic connects to your flesh-and-blood arm, just below the elbow, and a thought occurs to you.

You need to finish your project.

Like, /now/. You've skipped your last twelve concerts to work on this, after all (holograms are an idol's best friend), and you finally finished it not twenty minutes ago.

An epic struggle between getting laid and doing what's best occurs in your mind, lasting for a span of perhaps a second-and-a-half, before the decision is made.

You place your hands over Akane's. “I-I-”

She jerks her hands away from you faster than you had previously thought possible.

“I'm sorry, I'm so, SO sorry, I wasn't thinking, I just assumed you were-”

You whip your head to the side in such a way that one of your absurdly-long turquoise twintails smacks her in the face. “A-as much as I want... this... there's something important we need to do first.”

“... I don't think Academy City has gay marriage laws. In fact, I don't think Academy City has marriage laws, period.”

“W-w-w-w-whaaaaa-” Why are your knees so wobbly?

Oh dear.

Akane-chan snickers. “I'm teasing you, Miku-chan. What is it?”

You lean heavily on the kitchen counter, having stumbled through the door on your wibbly-wobbly knees.

You pant a little before righting yourself once more and begin to lead Akane-chan through your apartment. You reach your bedroom and open the door, and, once Akane has closed the bedroom door behind you, you gesture with your right hand and ask the hidden room door to open itself.

It slides aside with a futuristic KTSSSSSS sound, not unlike the sound made by a pneumatic mechanism that may or may not be concealed within your wall.

You will the lights to turn on in your secluded workshop, and, naturally, they comply.

It's spacious, as any workshop ought to be, owing to its previous status as a 'walk-in closet'.

Apparently, most people think of idols as being stuck up, rich, and highly interested in fashion or shoes or... something.

What a bunch of weirdos.

You gesture to the central workbench, where your latest and most amazing project currently resides.

She sits on the table, kicking her legs a little as she fingers her weapon- a staff-like energy weapon capable of immense destruction... in the right hands. She looks over at you, inspecting you- and, more likely, Akane- with her remarkably warm and lifelike eyes.

“How're ya feelin' there, kiddo? You decide on a name yet?”

The response comes in the form of a loud, monotone, and generally classic robot voice- which is exactly what you were going for, given you based this particular voice off of the Cylons (the original ones, of course). [ALL PRIMARY SYSTEMS NOMINAL. COMBAT FUNCTION SIMULATIONS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETION: SEVEN MINUTES TWENTY-THREE SECONDS. FLIGHT CAPABILITIES HAVE BEEN ASSESSED AND RATED AT A TWO POINT FOUR SEVEN OUT OF TEN ON A STANDARD NUMERIC GRADING SCALE.]

There's a pause as it contemplates the second question.

It answers in a gentler, less robotic voice. “... You are the equivalent to my mother, correct?”

You blink.

“Uh... yeah, I guess...?” You don't like where this is going.

“It is human custom for the mother to name her child, is it not?”

Akane snickers.

The girl seems to come to some sort of revelation from Akane's laughter, because she says, “Oh, I understand,” hops off of the table, and approaches you and your red-headed love interest.

“You are both female. Standard protocols and procedures may not apply.” She looks back and forth between the two of you.

“Which one of you is my mother?”

Akane points at you.

Damn it all.

The girl twirls her staff once, collapses it into itself to make it easier to carry, and walks up to you.

She spreads her arms and stares blankly at you.

“I love you, mother.”

You gape at her. She puffs out her cheeks. “You are expected to embrace me and tearfully give me a name, mother.”

Huh? Oh, right.

You laugh awkwardly and pull the girl into a hug, ruffling her long red-as-in-orange-this-time hair.

Wait, shit, you still don't know what to name her!
Or... do you?

Excellent. You can't help but smile a little at that. She's cute. “What is your current primary function, Mokarin-chan?”

Her response is perfect; the exact reply you were hoping for. [PRIME DIRECTIVE: TO OBSERVE THE PROGRESSION OF PROJECT P.S.]

Akane grins. “She's awesome, Miku.”

You shrug. She'll get the job done.

Something is wrong. But... what? It's impossible to say, unless... maybe it isn't? What's impossible, anyways, in a city full of kids with crazy psychic powers? The word 'impossible' just seems... ignorant, now.

You are Takamichi Akari, and you've just awoken from a very strange dream.

Someone without your... 'predilection' to fire might have called it a nightmare.

For you, though, it was just bizarre and surreal.

Watching everything burn, you mean.

The fire was everywhere, and it never burned out.

It burned at the bottom of the ocean and on top of the clouds and even on the face of the moon.

The fire destroyed everything, consumed the world until the earth itself blazed like a second sun.

What started the fire?

Looking forward to seeing what this does.

>>33703883
It probably influences how our Personal Reality is getting altered by our encounter with Innocentius.

Given that we chose the Steadfast option I'm guessing it'll make us difficult to stop and hurt. Maybe we can turn into fire and we just melt anything that tries to hit us.

The bomb/unaware one sounds like it would have improved sensory stuff, angry might have our emotions influence our fire, flying might have let us fly, fighting might have made us roast things to ashes better.

>>33704015
Damn, now I really wish collateral damage had won. I want more straight-up burning power dammit!

That's right.

It was an invasion.

All around the world, alien drop-pods fell from the sky. It happened without warning, and all at once.

Anti-Skill and a good number of espers tried to defend Academy City. You held off their bizarre and futuristic war machines for a long while, only to be overwhelmed when the aliens unleashed psychic powers of their own.

Unlike the rest of the faceless fighters that made up the resistance force, you managed to survive. Their weapons were terrifying and deadly, unleashing what you can only assume were bursts of superheated air.

They scythed your comrades down in droves, but the weapons proved ineffective against you, and your fire burned and blazed as if limitless- they were an unstoppable force, but you were an immovable object- and one rather determined to kick their chitinous asses at that.

As it became clearer and clearer that the aliens weren't going to be defeated, you

Consensus favors the mothership, so we'll vote on the other three, in case you had a plan involving a particular pair.

Thats gonna be a bit of a bother
once we go back on patrol. Most times we don't want to kill everything, so defending abilities would have been a lot more useful.

>>33705106
But the power! Oh the power we shall possess!

>>33705106
America doesn't want to kill everything, yet they have a massive nuclear stockpile.

>>33705255
America has more than just that nuclear stockpile.
While Akari has no defensive application.

>>33705248
That's not a good thing! We're never going to get shield powers now.

>>33705469
Eh, it's not a huge loss really. Especially given the number of abilities in this verse that ignore any kind of physical defense. Killing them before they kill you is the only answer alot of the time.

>>33705469
It's not that big of a step to go from "burn everything here" to "burn all projectiles here".

You were too late to save anyone.

It didn't really matter all that much, anyways.

None of them had faces, after all.

You made your way to the top of the tallest building you could find and began incinerating the city, as well as the aliens within. Your heat rays caused most everything they touched to burst into flame on contact, if not shortly afterwords, and you found yourself improving in their use as you waged more and more destruction.

By the end, you had mastered them, you think. Each of your blasts packed a large amount of force, most of them causing more damage from the 'impact' than the burning heat itself.

Your heat rays, it could be said, were hitting like trucks.

By sundown, the city was little more than a burned-out ruin, half-charred and half-engulfed in flame.

You found the form of their mothership by chance, having just happened to glance up at the moon as the craft passed in front of it.

You were struck by a thought, an idea.

After all, as long as you can see it, you can burn it.

It was almost too easy, really, turning the hunk of green-gray metal into a glob of cherry red metal and sending it careening into the moon.

You didn't heat a single point on the accursed thing, either. No, you heated it in its entirety- or, at the very least, you heated every bit of it you could see.

Unfortunately, your heat-sense was blunted by the immense amount of fire and molten metal and stone that surrounded you. In addition to your ability to sense heat, you didn't burst into flames after you dragged yourself out of the smoking mess you made of your home city. You think that might be symbolic or something.

…

You open your eyes after a few more moments of introspection.
You're in what you can only assume is Mato's room, cradled in her arms, your head tucked under her chin. She's sleeping sitting up, supported by the headboard.

The sun is just barely peeking through the shutters on the window.

It's the morning of July 21, assuming nothing strange has happened.

MOOD MUSIC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RM7cQCC4sU

…

Given the events of what you think was last night, you're a bit hesitant to go assuming that nothing strange has happened.

Regardless, Mato's sleeping soundly.

You're reminded of what happened yesterday morning as you look at her sleeping countenance.

>What do you do?

>>33705641
Go back to sleep. You don't want to risk waking her.

You gently extricate yourself from Mato's embrace and head for the door, your feet making little sound due to the carpet carpeting (what else would carpet do?) the floor.

The door slides open silently and on its own, which takes you slightly by surprise.

Is this the power of an idol's wealth?

'Cause that's pretty cool.

You step out into the hallway and through the nearest of the two doorless doorways, wondering if they're called 'doorways' if they don't actually have doors in them.

Maybe they're called passages or something?

You shrug, briefly wonder what happened last night, and blink twice as your mind registers the room you've blundered into as the kitchen.

Leave it to Mato-chan to have her bedroom directly across the hallway from the kitchen.

You quickly check the cabinets and refrigerator and freezer.

…

Holy crap!

Being rich must be wicked-awesome. You're pretty sure they've got everything you'd need to prepare just about anything here!

>What do you make?
>Do you serve Mato breakfast in bed?

Sorry if I made Akari seem a little random in her thoughts, there, I'm not a female, and, as I understand it, ladyfolk are always thinking about multiple things at once. I'm pointing this out because it felt pretty awkward this time.

>>33706225
Hmmmm...
Make her fried eggs and sausage on toast, easy and delicious.

>>33706225
Full English.

>>33706225
Prepare every stereotypical breakfast food you can think of. That MIGHT be enough to sate Mato.

>>33706282

Anon, it's your job to think of them!

>>33706225
Ridiculously over-the-top full English, she's probably going to be hungry as hell and they have the resources for it. Also, yes to breakfast in bed, because cute as well as thanking her for presumably getting us out of there.

>>33706225
How about a little of everything? That might be a bit complex to serve in bed though.

>>33706225
Make her French Toast!

>>33706225
>What do you make?
Take two eggs, whisk with several dashes of fish sauce, add one to two tablespoons of cold rice. Fry in wide and shallow pan, flipping every a minute or two to ensure even cooking. Serve when both sides are browned.

Sunshine omelettes for the start of a bright, new and sunny day. Better than scrambled anyway.

>Do you serve Mato breakfast in bed?
No.

>>33706225
French toast, sausage, bacon, hash browns, and some fresh-pressed OJ.

Use our pyrokinetic abilities to make sure everything turns out perfect, and serve it to her in bed.

>>33706408
You forgot the mushrooms and tomato.

Can't have a full english without mushrooms and tomato.

You're just finishing the cooking of the last of the bacon when a pair of arms groggily wrap themselves around your waist.

…

Then, Mato buries her face in your neck and mumbles something about smelling food, before chewing on your shirt.

…

Actually, this isn't your shirt.

Did... did your clothes burn away last night?

The shirt is a simple white t-shirt that goes well with the simple black shorts that you're wearing.

…

The underwear you're wearing aren't yours.

You shudder a little at that, then bring Mato over to the table, where you present her with a full English breakfast to start her off.

She perks up immediately.

“You're the best, Akari!”

… Is what you think she said- her face was too busy being stuffed to properly relay the message.

You finish the preparation of the food quickly and take a seat opposite Mato.

She finishes her meal(s) before you finish yours, and gives her smooth, pale belly a rub as she leans back in her seat.

She squirms, slightly uncomfortable under your gaze. “Uh, Akari-chan? You're kinda... staring at me...”

It's easier if all the vote-related stuff is in greentext, yanno?
Helps differentiate between votes and discussion.

spellcheck says my first 'greentext' is fine, but the second one is spelled wrong. Stupid spellcheck.
Also, I'd prefer if you typed the same thing as any person you decide to second, then added your comments/thoughts, or, alternatively, if your post is just a link to theirs and something like 'this'.

You sweep your eyes up and down her smooth, flat stomach. She squirms more.

“A-Akari-chan...”

“Oh?” You wink. “Don't mind me. I'm just admiring.”

Her face is as red as that half-eaten tomato there.

You relent after a few moments more, returning to your food. “What happened last night, Mato-chan?”

She frowns slightly. “I was keeping Anti-Skill away like you said, then there was an explosion and a huge column of fire and we rushed to see what was going on. There was a spiky-haired guy- 'Kamijou' or something, I think- and a red-haired guy who was unconscious, with a nasty-looking black eye. Kamijou said you'd saved him from the fire thing and then passed out, and he'd punched red-head-guy into next week right after.

“Apparently, that fire thing was created by the red-head. Not sure of his ability or level, but it's a good thing you were there. Anti-Skill took Kamijou to the hospital for his burns, but the medic said you were okay, just 'tuckered out', and insisted I get you somewhere where you could get some bed-rest. I reported back to Mami on the phone while I carried you here, fell asleep, and, uh, you know the rest.”

Mato grins.

“Anything else?”

Well?

>>33707570
Why would she be dead?

She wasn't mentioned because Kamijou was trying to hide the existence of magic, because it's a secret! And also because the dorms probably don't allow students to keep nuns.

The only impact you've had on canon is that Innocentius was defeated a bit faster, and without having to use the sprinklers.
Stiyl got off with a warning and had to peel the tags off of the walls or something, I guess, because they couldn't really prove that anything had happened/that any of it was his fault.

>>33707662
It's a slippery slope.

>Ask if Nee-chan knows where you are

>>33707662
So basically he and I guess Index got taken to the hospital. And I guess Touma will probably try and hide out at either Komoe's or Aogami's. Should work out the same probably.

It's probably kind of hard to arrest a Magician anyways, since even the shitty ones can use that "everyone around here suddenly thinks of a reason to leave" spell.

You nod. You have ALL the questions. If you could bristle with questions, you would, and you'd look like a questionable porcupine! Or maybe an inquisitive bramble?

“Why'd you bring me to your place? I've never even been in here before.”

Mato shrugs. “It was closer than your place?”

“Does Nee-chan know I'm here?”

Mato laughs. “Of course she does. She's here all the time.”

“Huh? Why?”

Mato shrugs again. “I dunno. She spends a lotta time with Miku-neechan, though. They're probably going out or something, I guess? I think she works for Miku-neechan, or something, too- like a bodyguard type thing. I guess she might just be a really dedicated bodyguard, but I'm fairly certain they're sweet on each other.”

You blink, taken a bit aback. The bodyguard thing doesn't surprise you much. Nee-chan has all sorts of licenses for guns and stuff, and there's usually a bulletproof vest hanging on the coat rack.

Nee-chan has a girlfriend? A girlfriend who is almost certainly an extroverted idol?

… weird.

Speaking of weird...

“Whose clothes am I wearing right now, Mato-chan?”

“The shirt and shorts are mine, the underwear are some of Miku-neechan's hand-me-downs.”

You clear your throat. “And, um... how did I happen to become dressed in these particular articles of clothing, anyways?”

“Whaddya mean? I dressed you, obviously.”

You cough and sputter a little. That's embarrassing, Mato!

“I... I see.” You clear your throat again. Hopefully Mato won't think you've caught a cold from your sleeping arrangements last night. “So, Nee-chan is already here, then?”

Mato scratches her chin and thinks for a moment. “Well, she was here last night when we got here. I don't know if she spent the night or not, though.”

“Hnn. Alright, then, I guess. I don't know why she didn't just tell me, but she probably has her reasons, right?”

Mato nods. “Right!”

You chat with Mato for awhile longer (while you're doing dishes, mostly) before deciding to head towards Nee-chan's place. After all, you'll need to change into something a little... more... well, just more, you suppose.

You tell Mato about your dream, and she tells you that your Personal Reality has probably changed significantly as a result of... whatever the hell one would call the events that transpired last night.

Mato explains that the red-head guy from last night didn't seem to be an esper, but that might have been something Kamijou did- apparently, his hand can negate abilities. If red-head-guy's fire monster was his ability, and he believed it to be invincible, then maybe the combined shock of watching it get obliterated and being punched with Kamijou's anti-ability hand caused him to 'lose' his power.

You've never heard of a power like that, but, hey, that doesn't mean a whole lot. A wise video game character once said, 'One sure mark of a fool is to dismiss anything that falls outside of his experience as being impossible.'

Before you know it, you're home, and looking through your closet.

Mato observes interestedly.

The classic today.

>>33708920
Seconded, we are an officer of the law and ought to look the part.

>>33708884
Summer dress and straw hat.

Because it's scorching outside.

Or rather, it will be.

>>33708884
This >>33708920
But with spats underneath in case we need to kick things.

>>33709032
Why not pull a Misaka and make it shorts?

>>33708983
>Temperature
>Being an issue
We could walk around a volcano wearing heavy winter survival gear and be totally fine.

>>33709054
That was the joke

>>33709041
Exactly why we're using spats. Why copy somebody else? Besides, everybody knows spats are best.

Looks like school uniform is the preference this time.

Will you be wearing last year's uniform, from your elementary school, or next year's uniform, from [insert generic middle school here]?

>>33709109
Next year's uniform, let's dress for success!

>>33709109
Did we pick a school yet? I'm inclined to say next year, but I wanna know first

>>33709109
Next years uniform, with spats!

>>33709109
Next year, might as well wear it in.

>>33709109
Next year's.
also
>add spats

>>33709109
Elementary. It's old and comfortable and we'll look super-dumb if we wear it much after this summer.

>>33709134
I'm thinking I'll just handwave it until the time comes to actually go back to school, yanno?
We'll say you'd applied there during the exams, which we conveniently time-skipped over.

Now, as Akari is a good and reasonable girl, allow me to ask a question.

Are you sure you can make it without ruining this uniform?
Is it worth the risk?
I don't want you guys to make a choice that could get you in trouble in the future without being aware of it first.
Your first day was kinda insane, who's to say the second won't be just as crazy?

>>33709186
Surely we can fill in an expense form to pay for a replacement.

>>33709186
Maybe we should just wear regular clothes...

>>33709186
Uh... let's wear our old school uniform, then. It won't matter if we burn it to slag.

>>33709186
I can see potential hilarity in Akari desperatel trying to keep her clothes undmaged through her own infernos.

>>33709186
If anything happens, I'm sure we can afford a replacement, and that assumes today is even going to be crazy at all. Besides, maybe our middle school has a policy like Tokiwadai's, in which case we're getting used to it ahead of time.

>>33709186
Just wear normal, not uniform clothes.

>>33709186
Are we going to Tokiwadai perhaps? Even before we powered up we met their requirements as a level 3. I'm worried we might run into canon too often though.

How is that school Touma and Uiharu (and Saten?) go to called? A Certain Highschool?

>>33709264
>>33709271
Let's not.

>>33709271
iirc, it never gets named but "A Certain Highschool" is what people call it when they discuss Raildex.

>>33709264
I think Tokiwadai is only a high school. No elementary or middle.

>>33709271
That is the name, yes, though Touma's a high schooler and Uiharu/Saten are middle schoolers. I dunno which one they go to off the top of my head though.

>>33709213
I'm sure you can get a new one, but, still. Also, fireproof uniforms are probably not super-cheap.

>>33709218
But that's no fun!

>>33709247
>>33709264
I was thinking I'd offer you guys the choice of going to Tokiwadai if you wanted to- Akari's a fantastic student, after all- but I'm slightly worried about canon shenanigans. Tokiwadai seems like it's a damn big school, though, so I'm sure I could deal with it.

>>33709298
Tokiwadai is a girls-only middle school.

>>33709298
It's a middleschool.

>>33709298
But the Railgun protagonists are middle schoolers, so that doesn't work.

>>33709311
I'm not familiar with the setting, but I understand it the entire city is basically one campus for many many schools. Surely they have more than one school for gifted students ?

>>33709311
Eh, we can kick that can down the road a bit and figure it out later. For now, let's go do some justice!

>>33709311
>I was thinking I'd offer you guys the choice of going to Tokiwadai if you wanted to- Akari's a fantastic student, after all- but I'm slightly worried about canon shenanigans. Tokiwadai seems like it's a damn big school, though, so I'm sure I could deal with it.
The dorms are done by year (Kuroko only got Misaka as a roommate because of shenanigans) and it is a huge place.

Just have it so that Misaka/Kuroko/Kongou/Misaki are off doing other things or in other areas of the grounds separate from Akari. Shouldn't even be that hard considering she'd be just starting and they'd be in their final year (well, except for Kuroko).

>>33709311
>>33709324
>>33709341
Guess part of the cast is younger than I thought.

>>33709271
Only Touma goes there. And it's pretty much all low levels.

I mean a high level can hypothetically go there, since Mikoto is planning on taking the entrance exams, they just generally don't because it sucks compared to high level schools.

>>33709311
Akari must go to school with Mato, and Mato doesn't seem like the Tokiwadai type.

>>33709377
Yeah, a lot of Kuroko's antics get a lot creepier when you consider that she's like twelve or thirteen.

>>33709382
iirc, Uiharu and Saten were planning to go there after middleschool, Mikoto was thinking about going there, and Accel was probably going to end up going there if he ever started going back to regular classes.

>>33709353
Sure there are. Supposedly there are 5 "really good" ones, of which Tokidawai and Nagatenjouki (Accelerator's school on paper) are among.

Plus a bunch of other good schools that just aren't at the top.

>>33709396
Thats a excellent point.

Spats are those super-tight short-like things, right?

>>33709353
I'm sure they do. We can figure it out later!

>>33709396
The thought of Mato going to Tokiwadai makes me snicker.


Okay, so, do you guys want to wear your old/new uniform (with spats), or a magical girl costume, or... I think I saw a suggestion about a sundress or something similar a bit earlier?

>>33709412
Accel was going to go there, but he got transferred to Nagatenjouki instead.

I don't think Saten and Uiharu have ever had any plans to go there, unless it was some anime filler stuff.

>>33709413
Seems to me like it would be more interesting to use one of those, where you have more freedom to flesh out the students on your own without getting in the way of "canon".

>>33709434
Can't we just wear regular clothes?

>>33709434
>Spats are those super-tight short-like things, right?
Yes.
Either you call a proper vote, or go wit what has won, otherwise we don't get anywhere.

>New Uniform with spats.

>>33709434
>New uniform
The comedic potential outweighs the downsides in my eyes.

>>33709434
Old uniform with spats undeneath, for comfortable, non-flashing kicking.
And yes, they are the skin-tight shorts.

>>33709311
Tokiwadai is actually really small. There's less than 200 students.

It seems bigger than it is because it's part of the School Garden, which has 5 girl's schools. Only one other has been named though.

>>33709434
are we really voting again

Alright, new uniform with spats it is.

You'll most likely be fine.

>>33709498
Ah, right. I was thinking back to that scene with the library that was jam-packed full of girls.

>>33709505
No, just making sure.

>>33709517
If we stay on the periphery, I don't have an issue with us going to Tokiwadai, I just don't want it to turn into the Railgun anime plus Akari.

>>33709498
>part of the School Garden, which has 5 girl's schools
Reminds me of Strawberry Panic.

>>33709541
Or any one of the other 4 schools in the group would work.

>>33709541
Shouldn't we go to another school anyway? We're in a different judgement branch than all those characters. It'd be more convenient cause we'd be closer.

>>33709410
>creepier
Or sexier. Depends.

>>33709555
It's a psychotic place. No guys allowed, ever. Even male Anti-Skill aren't normally allowed in. Most of the girls there never leave it and pretty much never see men.

They tried to murder poor Touma when he broke in.

>>33709626
It's like some kind of madwoman's cr/u/cible...

>>33709626
Wow. Perfect for this quest.

>>33709610
No, definitely creepier. If it was just some unwanted attention it might be cute, but the date-rape stuff definitely crosses the line into creepy territory. How the hell does a twelve year old legally purchase an aphrodisiac anyway?

>>33709626
>They tried to murder poor Touma when he broke in.
That was the only good thing about that LN. It was like some kind of demented stealth action game.

>>33709410
Or more understandable, she doesn't really know how love or dating actually works, and is just aping things she's seen or read, rather than actually being a sexual predator.

>>33709699
Internet

>>33709699
When written by a hack author, anything is possible.

>>33709700
Tsuchi's rampage was also pretty good. The guy is fucking terrifying when he's mad.

It started going downhill once Rensa came into the picture.

>>33709699
Nope, still sexier. I'll admit that most people will not share this opinion.

>>33709699
It's academy city, pills and drugs abound, plus I doubt it was an actual functional aphrodisiac anyway.

You quickly shed your borrowed clothes and switch into your own, electing to don next year's uniform.

Mato, who you had forgotten was watching, reminds you of her presence by asking, “Do you really want to be fighting thugs, running around, and doing god-knows-what-else in a skirt that... short?”

You try not to look at her or dignify that with a response, given you were just naked in front of her without even realizing it (at least you were facing away from her, so she didn't see anything too... private). Still, she has a point, so you pull on a pair of spats as well.

Mato snickers as you turn around. “You forgot I was here, didn't you?”

You nod. “You could have said something!”

“I didn't peek. Promise!”

…

She peeked, didn't she?

Well, whatever. You need another armband for today's patrol, so you need to head back to Branch 90's office and get one. You're still early, but you never know what sort of delays might pop up if you don't do it now.

You should also probably tell Steve about your possible power-up. He can have you go through another test to measure your abilities, after all, and making progress so quickly is sure to impress him.

What do you do? You really only have time to do one before going on patrol, and that's assuming the researchers don't want to, yanno, do research or something.
>Go to the office and get your armband.
>Go to the research facility and tell them what happened.
>Do something else. (Write-in)

>>33709718
>>33709699
Eh, pretty sure that was an anime scene too. Most of her "Psychotic Lesbian" antics come from Nagai. When Kamachi writes her, she's generally just very over-affectionate.

>>33709747
It was pretty damn functional if the effect on Kuroko was anything to go by.

>>33709699
She's Judgement. She could have confiscated it from someone.
She's also from Tokiwadai, so she's the elite. She can buy whatever the hell she wants and nobody would ask questions.

>>33709765
>Go get your armband
Can do the tests anytime. Plus if we're going to a new school we're probably due for a System Scan anyways.

>>33709765
>Go to the office and get your armband.

>>33709765
>Go to the research facility and tell them what happened.
"Hey Steve you better rev up that ice cream machine."

I don't suppose we could get a fireproof armband?

>>Go to the research facility and tell them what happened.

I can't believe nobody is freaking out about the fact that Miku put a fucking chip in our brain.

>>33709957
No reason to bother, since we don't know that in-character.

>>33709957
I had assumed that was normal procedure for the setting, no ?
I'm sure Nee-san means well.
And the concern is justified ...

>>33709929
She was pretty fucking out of it, seems a bit much for a placebo.

>>33709988
Not really, no.

>>33709957
Why should we? She has no ill-intent.

Probably has more goodwill for us than Academy City does, and we let them do god knows what to us with no comment.

>>33709978
Yeah, that's a problem with POV-switches, but at least we won't be all 'ASSPULL' when it actually becomes relevant.

>>33710009
I mean it's a little weird, but it's honestly not worse than what AC does to us. Implanted nano-tracking devices, brain surgery, drugs, ECT, brainwashing, therapists whose job it is to drive us crazier...

Does having a Limiter installed mean we get to call in to Miku to have her release the lock when shit gets real?

You hold Mato's hand as the both of you head to work.

Once again, she's wearing her bikini/shorts/long-coat ensemble, with boots that come up to her shins this time.

You make hideously good time and reach the office in the blink of an eye. You open the door and step inside to see Mami and the Twins doing some sort of research or analysis or something.

Mami gestures at the coffee table, where a new armband sits. “Your armband is on the table, darling. This one should be a good deal more resistant to fire.” She turns and smiles at you. “I apologize for my lack of foresight in not fireproofing the first one. I don't know what I was thinking.”

You quickly put the armband on and, at Mami's direction, head off on patrol.

Where did Mami send you today?
