being meguca is suffering
Sassy Welsh Cat
Kyoko Sakura and Kyoko Sakura and the very bad mission.
small letter
small letter
i was initially worried about how my plans would be affected by the magic thing but actually, no, i think this is more than fine
small letter
it just speeds up my timeline
small letter
okay uhhh. lets see. its safe to say that kyoko won't transform unless she has need for it, and so the general situation about magic will be known to her before she gets to that point
small letter
and she talked yondu into teaching her some different combat moves, buuuuut they arent gonna hold up against monsters without her magic boosting her... everything...
small letter
so i need to pick a different task for her to do
small letter
this won't last long, though, because what i'm thinking is
small letter
- she's sparring with blue kyoko on the train, and i can have her put more magic into it ......... which means she'll be burning through a good chunk of her magic just in the day of platform
small letter
between her own personal training + fighting with blue + using illusions to play chase with nozomi
small letter
so she'll be leaving the train with a serious chunk of her magic used up
small letter
- just existing on the planet will be draining, let alone dealing with the mental health spiral kyoko is in. plus add on whatever task she ends up joining, and her soul gem is going to get polluted at a rate MUCH faster than it otherwise would since she isn't using her magic to fight
small letter
i think there will probably need to be some kind of catalyst situation -- either she has to exert herself for some reason, or something happens to set off a mental breakdown
small letter
and then that lands her where i want her, which is
small letter
- facing down her darkened soul gem and eventually deciding to claw her way away from Death Or Witch by asking the SCA network for help
small letter
i was initially expecting she'd have to spend the rest of the mission on the train, but we'll see what ends up happening
small letter
looking at the south island...
small letter
i want her to deal with a headbutter just because its kyoko in pig form
small letter
man, remember all those thoughts i had about how kyoko associates her magic with her agency and as a solution to feeling helpless? haha...
small letter
more fuel for the spiral
small letter
maybe supply runner...?
small letter
okay. with the further-explained info and the event logs up, i think im finally decided on what i wanna do
small letter
kyoko's going to stubbornly try to fight. transforming and summoning her spear will have more of a drain than she expects, so she won't try to actively use magic more than that, but also, just doing all of her usual acrobatic tricks requires magic
small letter
i'm gonna send her north to basically rescue-mission lost sali (i think i'm understanding that right, anyway)
small letter
i confused myself so i asked another question
Usagi
rip kyoko,,
small letter
she's gonna have a bad time
small letter
finalizing plans finally:
small letter
1. npc thread bc kyoko's gonna do a prayer at a statue. shes in that kind of mood and they said there would be interaction opportunity there even if it isnt an actual like, magical kind of spiritual prayer
2. generic south island prompt of some kind (maybe dealing with A Prickly Pig for funsies)
small letter
3. hold on to the meltdown until start of ongoing (or backdate if ongoing doesnt vibe), bc i want her to do a fight (birds or red sali, haven't decided) mostly solo and then escape, hole up somewhere, have her little meltdown, and then do her call for help
small letter
X-( tags done
small letter
i've decided i'm going to tag out instead of toplevel for this first part of the event, so if y'all want me anywhere, lmk
small letter
>tag to statue
small letter
>tag to nozomi
small letter
>tag to seto
small letter

small letter
