Alexandrine pulled out her phone. She had to give him a hint of what was coming with this surprise visit. “…Yes, it’s me..it has been a long time…”. Questions about why she called, if she was prepared to fight again, or if not, if she wanted to be the one to become his new wife. Not the first time he had asked her that. She had briefly considered it in the past, but felt she was in no condition to do it. “You’re right, I have sat in the shadows for too long…” ”…No, I must still decline. But that is why I have called you. I want to introduce you to someone. A possible bride. A girl I just found today. She is at least willing to meet you and consider it…”. He found the idea interesting. Alexandrine, attempting to play matchmaker, bring him a potential bride. She did not mention the demon blood, knew he would not care. “We will be there soon.” She said and hung up. Turning to Emi. “Follow me. I will take you to my van, drive you there. Meet him with you.” She turned and walked towards the door.

Alexandrine froze, a brief emptiness her eyes. A punch in the gut. That name. “…Zorn…”. She whispered shakily. So many memories filled her head, she felt like she might be sick. But she forced them back. Zorn was dead. She killed him, killed them all. She avenged the others. She did not see the body, but he could not have survived the slaughter she performed in that place. She took a few breaths to calm herself. “Forgive me. That name…He is one who has hurt both of us.” ”…Do not blame yourself for your father. Your mother was not the first or last to be violated by the enemy. Not the first to be given a child by it. You have demon blood, but you are not a demon.” She left it unsaid, but she had felt the first half it too. Had monsters force themselves on her on few times, though she never had a child. She returned to the plan. “At least talk to him. Consider it. I will come with you. Whether or not you agree, I promise he won’t hurt you.” She hoped Emi would agree after talking to him. He was a good man, not always a warm one. But he would accept her, give her some peace, maybe even happiness.

That could be fun, though will take some time on world building and gradually putting the team together before we start brining monsters in. Did see you voted for him with both versions of Ryan. Could possibly find a way to introduce them together before either join the team or Ryan discovers his power. Though they likely won’t get together until later, after those things happen. Him and girl Ryan having some fun together before either think about doing it the other way.

Well, it would be interesting to see how Emi reacted to this. A possibility she probably had not considered. “I know a man. A knight. He lives out of town, a large gated home. He is something of a traditionalist.” Someone who stuck to some older traditions, dedicated to the fight. “He would not care about your blood. Your appearance. If you were willing to fight as a Magical Girl, he could shelter you…”. Well that was true, but there was something else he would need. “…If you were also willing to become his wife…”. He was a traditionalist. He needed a new wife, he did not need love though. It was a practical thing for him. He looked at it like a nobleman, he considered Magical Girl/Knight bloodlines to be something similar. Sure, they did not rule people. But to protect people, to preserve the power. The bloodlines had to be preserved. ”He won’t try to control you. He is not a traditionalist in that sense, does not look at women that way.” Sure, certain ‘activities’ would come with being his wife. But he would largely let her do her own thing, probably even look the other way, if she found herself interested in others. It was essentially an arranged/‘political’ marriage of sorts. Was Emi willing to do that for a real home? Alexandrine was unsure, curious to see her reaction. The details would have to be talked out with him though.

Alexandrine thought on the name. Trying to remember if she ever met the girl’s mother. It sounded a little familiar. Not a friend or anything. But they might have met once or twice, even fought together on a rare team up. It was unfortunate that she seemed to be another Magical Girl who had met an unfortunate end. She would not try to make Emi talk much about her, let Emi decide if and when to talk about that. ”I live in an apartment building myself. I would offer to try to find you a room there. But that is a little crowded. You deserve more space. A chance to live somewhere you can relax. Not hide yourself….I do have one idea. But I’m not sure how appealing you will find it.” Free housing, where Emi did not have to disguise herself. That was not exactly easy to find. There was one option she had thought up, but she would not be surprised if Emi did not like what she would have to do to get it. But maybe a girl like this, so used to surviving would consider it a small price. Emi’s reaction would determine if she elaborated.

Alexandrine followed the girl, not making any sudden moves. Nothing that could be interpreted as hostile. One solution did occur to her. But it was one that would likely take some convincing, she would not say it yet. She followed the girl into her home. It resembled her own 8n some ways, except that she no holes to board up and had electricity. As she did so she introduced herself. “My names is Alexandrine. Alexandrine Deforest.” It was offer of trust. A Magical Girl did not casually give that out to someone who already knew what she was. Was it the first time the girl learned the name of one who was not her mother? She looked over the various surroundings some more. “How long have you been here? How often do you move?” She was curious how long the girl would have stayed here if the two of them had not met. Not especially long, she guessed.

Yes, that could happen. I’ve got some ideas with Emi, too. Including a different way to bring Hikaru into the story, help her living situation. Alexandrine may bring that up to her soon. Could also have some interesting father-daughter ‘bonding’ too later on. Could be a mix of an attempt to break her, and demons might just look at things like that differently. Zorn just might just think it is natural to do that sort of thing with his daughter, try to teach her to enjoy it.

I’m willing to do just about any pair involving my characters. And the main team is likely to be in a sort of open relationship with each other (I’m probably just going to vote for everything), though some individual pairs may be closer to each other at times. But yeah, we’ll see how quickly and what order things happen, for everything that both players are willing to do.

Just posted a second poll (convenient timing, I was able to add Mitsuko before posting). This one is sort of just for fun. A 'Matchmaking' poll of sorts. Anyone can vote on them, non-binding, just thought it would be interesting to see results (though if both players of a specific pair vote forsomething, it is much more likely to happen at some point). I think I got every option except for ones that involve two of my characters or sexuality incompatibility. I did put a few incompatible ones in, that I don't expect to happen, but that felt right to post the choices (Ryan as a boy, with other guys and Mitsuko and Zorn, the last one was put in because I had to make it 2 polls, due to the number of choices, and needed a second option for the second one). https://ecchidreams.com/community/topic/8092-what-pairings-do-you-want-to-seeplay/

Another poll, I decided to put up for fun. Feel free to vote even if you aren’t playing, or playing different characters. It is non-binding, no one has to play a pairing they don’t want to (though if the players of both characters vote for it, it is pretty likely to happen at some point.). They could be either casual/one time or more serious. I’ll mostly leave out pairs that don’t match character sexuality, but Ryan will get some options listed even if they are unlikely/impossible to happen. The polls will be expanded as characters get made.

“You are more like us than you think.” Alexandrine knew that was likely to be little comfort. She knew loss, how hard it could be to heal. It also looked like certain others had been more aggressive than they should have been, perhaps believing she was a proper demon or monster. She could not apologize for them, but she could try to help the girl. She meant what she said. “You are not the first of us to have been born that way…you can follow your mother’s path.” It was true that it was very rare though for hybrids to show what they were without transforming. That made it much harder. But with help, Alexandrine believed the girl could be saved from this life. ”I can help you. Make sure you are not targeted by those who should consider you an ally. I will not say I understand how hard your life has been…but I know I know what it is like to feel alone.” She considered the next step. “For now, let me see where you live.” Depending on the circumstances, she could try to find her a better place. She had connections.

That was the question. "We can't just leave you here. You are getting sick of this, aren't you? Having to hide? Being treated like a monster?" Alexandrine gestured to the shelves. "This is the only way you know how to eat isn't it? I suppose you could hunt animals, but I guess you don't want to live in the wild do you?" It was time for a sensitive question. "If you are doing this, do you have any family?" She guessed the girl's mother was another Magical Girl. It would have been extra unfortunate if she was an ordinary woman. Either way, the mother seemed to be gone. Abandoned the girl. or worse. She needed to learn a little more before trying to decide what to do. Maybe evaluate the girl's current living situation. Just find out a little more. "Your mother, she was like me?" Was was a risky word to use, their was a chance she was still alive. Alexandrine was mostly curious who she was. Maybe the girl had family she did not know about.

Characters don’t have to be on a team, but it would give them more opportunities. He would have a much easier time learning too, about his power and have some opportunities for fun. Other teams could vary, but that one has the potential for everyone having a little fun with each other at different points, as they get closer.

We can wait a little if you want. See if anyone else wants to make a second team. It would be a little bit a wait, but he could possibly end up in the forming Alexandrine/Emi/Ryan team as well. If you like him getting closer to one or more of them. You could also put him on a different team while putting one of the other characters on that team if you want.

Why indeed? “Responsibility? Duty? I know what you are now, and you have probably guessed what I am.” Alexandrine still did not transform. Even done innocently, it might be taken as a threat. “I keep an eye on the area. Protect it…at least I used to.” Her tone was difficult to interpret, the past weighing down on her. “I was asked to check on strange things people had been seeing.” Up close, sensing the girl’s aura, it was odd, she felt something vaguely familiar. Not entirely pleasant either, but she ignored it. This girl could not be blamed for what she was. ”Now I have seen it. You aren’t some random monster roaming around that I have put down…”. But did she have a different responsibility now? The two of them were technically the same. Alexandrine did not have monster blood in her line that she was aware of, but the girl still like her in the end. “…I feel I can’t exactly ignore you here, just walk away. You aren’t a monster, but I’d guess you have met plenty who thought you are one…”. She was not going to fight, except to defend herself if the girl attacked. But she was still trying to decide exactly what to do, and gave her a chance to respond while thinking about it.

Alexandrine watched from the side, as the figure approached. At the first glance, what appeared to be an ordinary young girl. A runaway? Orphan? Maybe she would she would just let her pass. Then her eyes caught what was partially hidden by the hood. Poor girl. Was probably the daughter of a woman a monster forced itself on. That was something all Magical Girls had to worry about, also something random ordinary women occasionally experienced, if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many experienced it. The sex at least, children were rare. It was also possible that had happened to one of the girl’s ancestors, rather than her mother. But if that was the case, she was likely to look human most of the time. Only transform into something else. At that point she stepped in front of the door, showing herself. “That’s enough of this little chase. I’m not here to hurt you.” She felt a little responsibility to do something about this. The girl’s mother would not have been one of her old teammates, but it might have been someone she knew. This was something the government or other conventional organizations were poorly equipped to handle.

Pictures aren’t necessary I figure, just a bonus. I’m not sure if I will find good ones for all of mine. And yeah I figure there aren’t many things that would not be allowed. You can do that.

Quiet. This was one used to stealth. Hiding. If it was a monster, it was not one of the animal minded ones. It likely knew it had been followed. Probably came her for food, not it’s home. This was potentially dangerous. Alexandrine could not see very well here. She was physically better than ordinary humans in many ways. But her senses were essentially the same. A few did have one or more senses improved as part of their power, but they were the exceptions. He fingers twitched a little. Thinking about whether to transform. She could make a show out it, or do it very quickly. But unless some homeless ordinary person, searching for food, they would sense the transformation. Revealing what she really was. That might be the safer option. But she hesitated a little longer, seeing if the other would break the silence, move towards her.

She would probably have to adjust to something like that. Alexandrine would have to get used to it again, though she has experience with them in happier days. Emi would be welcomed though, as long as she remained transformed the whole time (as any Magical Girl/Knight there would). The public knows some of them don't look entirely human, but believe that is just part of the transformation and a strange expression of their power (true in other cases) and don't know the reason for their unusual appearances. Alexandrine could try to drag her into it, to make Emi at least somewhat more accepted/known. Not a world wide event or anything. But a few of the neighboring teams could be present too. Hikaru likely, as well as the Jumi from the first post, among others.

Collecting supplies? Well, that could still mean any number of things. Some criminal, a monster that learned this was a convenient place to find easy food? Maybe someone who just needed help. She jumped down from the roofs, followed into the dark store. How much was still left here? How much was good? It felt a little more like she was some kid exploring a supposedly haunted pace. She had seen much worse though. Nothing was going to scare her. For now she listened. Listened for any hint of the one she followed in. Sticking near the door. Everything else appeared boarded up. This was the only way out. At least the only easy one. She listened for any hint was doing, if they intended to come back, or look for another way.

Posted a profile for the gender bender. Also a picture, posted separately, in the images tab.

Name: Ryan Barentine Race: Human (Magical Girl, to be) Alias (primarily for Magical Girls/Knights): Rin Nyoko Gender: Male, sometimes female Age: 18 Hair: Short Pink Eyes: Pink Short Bio: One of the many fans of Magical Girls/Knights. More the girls, but he admires the Knights as the heroes they are too. He was fascinated watching them from a young age, finding any records he could, any of the battles the public managed to get any recording of. Read stories about them, true and fictional. Bought merchandise of them, had room full of figurines and posters and other such things. As he got a little older, he became he became more fascinated with the Magical Girls. Their power, beauty grace. He had a crush on a number of them, like many boys. But it was deeper. He imagined what it would be like to be one. He started buying new things…outfits meant to resemble them. He started trying them on, making himself look a little more like one. He even got a job at a store that sold such things, working while dressed like one. But he plans to take it another step forward. He saved and saved. Bought a ticket for an upcoming convention. One of the events they speak to the public, sign autographs. Even tend to invite a lucky few to closed door private meetings. He does not expect to be chosen, but he hopes. Orientation: ‘Confused’. I could play this one in a team that takes full advantage of it. With girl(s) as a boy, with girl(s) as a girl, with boy(s) as a girl, and while this is something I almost never do, might be willing to mix in a little boy(s) as a boy. The likely possibility here is this one will meet some magical girl or knight and one of the various conventions/events where the public can meet them. He might be lucky enough to get a ‘one on one’ meeting. Like I suggested the info topic, it is an open secret/rumor that these are sometimes, but not always, intimate meetings. This one may or may not be. Either way, it is realized he has the potential within him. They assume he will become a knight. But as a cross dresser, it is not a complete surprise that he transforms into a girl. Powers will be figured out later. Looking for a new image
