3rd Magic Bullet

Man, that was pretty weird, huh?  How much of all that do you guys think actually happened?  Was it an illusion or something?  Or maybe it was a really long and awesome dream?  Either way, the people in charge around here must be pretty powerful mages to affect a whole town like that for so long.

I'm glad the robot's gone and everything, but I kind of wish they'd have let me keep my other stuff from home.  But they left me the most important thing, so I can't complain too much.  Anyway, if anybody wants to join me since the weather's warmed up, I'm gonna be shooting some hoops after school today!

[Action; Friday afternoon - Mayfield High Gymnasium]

[Just like she said, Yuna's in the school gym after hours today, practicing on the basketball court.  She's wearing a loose shirt and boys' athletic shorts for lack of anything suitable for girls, dribbling the ball up and down the court and taking practice shots.  The hoop's too high up for her to get any awesome dunk shots or anything, but she does land over 90% of the shots she takes from mid-court or closer.  Anyone can feel free to come and join her during her practice, or when she's gone over to the bleachers for a water break]

Hah... I wonder if anyone would be interested in starting up a girls' team?

[Action; Friday night - Makeout Point]

[Yuna didn't announce this, but late Friday evening after the sun goes down, she's up at Makeout Point to practice some gunplay.  It's secluded and out of the way, she reasons, and the fact that she might be interrupting some hot dates seems not to have occurred to her.  At any rate, she draws a small rectangular card out of her pocket.]

Adeat!

[As the command leaves her lips, the card flashes and transforms Yuna into an awesome gunner outfit complete with magical pistol.]

All right, time to get some practice in!

[And she begins running all through the area, dodging left and right and strafing while firing magically charged bullets at rocks and various other pieces of scenery.]

It's pretty complicated, but it's kind of like... the magic that keeps their world together is running out, so it'd collapse anyway. But the bad guys are trying to find a way to save some of the people living there while sacrificing all the other ones. Oh, and there's also other bad guys that just want to let everyone get wiped out. Negi-sensei has a plan to keep the world together without having to sacrifice anyone, though, so I'm helping him with that. But it basically means it's just him and the rest of my class versus a whole army.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

If you ask me, you're doing the right thing. If there's a chance to save everyone, you should always take it. Sacrificing others is never acceptable... even if you're up against an entire army, I think you'll win. Heh, that's how it'd work in manga anyway.. but even if you don't manage to pull it off, I still think you're definitely doing the right thing.

But I guess you already know that, or you wouldn't be doing it.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah! We'll definitely figure out a way to save everyone. I believe in Negi-sensei. He always thinks of a plan that works and follows it through to the end.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Even if it doesn't, trying was better than just giving up and sacrificing people like those others.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Now I just need to figure out how to come back from being turned into a stone statue, haha~

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

That sounds pretty serious... sorry I can't help you there. Maybe you could try, uh, moisturizer?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Well, I do have a spare tube of Nuru Nuru X at home, but I don't think the others are in a position to get to it.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Actually if you've already been turned to stone, there's really nothing you can do but rely on others to bail you out, huh?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much. But they'll think of something. We actually have a white mage, so if they can manage not to break me until they get back to her, I'll be fine.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

A white mage? I guess any RPG Party would be incomplete without one. But what does that make you then?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

I'm a magic gunner!

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Sounds kind of interesting, but not really an RPG staple.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's why I got put in the backup squad.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can switch classes or dualclass or something.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Well, I do want to learn some spells and stuff too.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Considering your predicament, maybe it'd be a good idea to try to learn some healing related stuff?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe that would help.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

I don't know how you go about learning something like that though. You can't just go up to people and ask them to teach you magic...

...can you?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Lots of my classmates are learning. I think it'll be a little easier for me, though, since my parents were both mages.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

So magical ability is a biological thing?

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Maybe! I'm pretty new at this. But Negi-sensei's dad was one of the strongest mages who ever lived, so it seems like that idea's holding up so far.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Then I guess you've got a leg up on the competition. You should do just fine.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Just gotta do my best like I always do, right?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Hm... maybe a little bit better than your best, even.

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Push it 110%! Something like that, right?
