i'm sending a 2-in-1: riot kinds/t$$ universe swap. how would the characters fare in the other setting?

ooooh

T$$ Cast:

Hunter would be in the Riot Kings. Hands down. Even if he's still kind of an outcast, they'd give him the sense of belonging and purpose he's after. And since psychics exist, his implant would manifest as inherent abilities. It's entirely possible a research facility would make him their lab rat if his abilities became more widely known.

Joy would've joined the Fleet at a young age, but eventually separated and gotten into contracting, acting as an engineer or hired gun.

Jericho would be a Melchior lolol. Either climbing the ranks of the Riot Kings and making people angry as he tries to make non-violent change, or leading an entirely separate rebellion against the Fleet.

Vic and Sahota would be some of the Fleet's "under the table assets", sent in to do their dirty work. Sahota might've started as a regular recruit who accidentally saw too much, so Vic forced him into the role.

Kaius would probably be working intelligence at Mainfleet. Maybe in this case, one or both parents were high-ranking officers who pushed him into the field. He'd get detained for "treasonous behavior" after trying to report some war crimes he witnessed while monitoring missions.

Benji would also be a psychic in this AU, with minor telekinesis and memory abilities. He would've been "recruited" by the Fleet for research and training, similar to Nabi, but in his case he's being pardoned for theft in exchange for his cooperation.

Riot Kings Cast:

Nabi would be a college student who was randomly affected by a Rotorworx experiment gone wrong, and developed her empathy/memory powers because of it. Rotorworx would attempt to recruit her as an intern in order to study the effects and keep their mistakes away from the public eye, and failing that, would kidnap her.

Jin is a detective who drops work to find his sister, and Melchior is an investigative journalist who's been trying to expose Rotorworx's amoral programs.

By the time Nabi has been taken, Melchior has already been their captive for a while, having been caught while pursuing a lead. They befriend each other pretty quickly.

Jin runs into Wes while looking for Nabi, and discovers that he's also looking for a lost loved one. They team up. Melchior getting taken is Wes's fault, since he was cornered by Rotorworx employees and cracked under the pressure, letting it slip that Mel was planning to break into a facility.

Dr. Stevens would be a newly-hired medic who's supposed to look after the health of the subjects. She's immediately like what the fuck, but the contract has already been signed.

Roses and kittens “episode 4″

“So” Hannah started, knocking her opponent off the island with a wall of thorns “something strange is definitely going on at the mission site.”

“You think? It was smooth sailing until like, last week.” Purpled responded as he finished off his own attacker with a stab to the chest.

The crowd cheered as their champions tore through the competition. Events such as this were common. Rose often had her matches held in the largest arenas, drawing in massive crowds. Citizens from all around Hypixel came to watch the best of the empire’s warriors demonstrate their skill in combat. 

Sometimes it’s all three of the champions, other times it’s just one of them. Today Rose and Vio were performing for their adoring fans.

For anyone else it may not have been the best time to talk, but Rose found little challenge in her routine matches. Hence the distracted discussion.

“There hasn’t been any kind of resistance in a while. The stealth tactics were working so well. How can they even see us?”

“I don’t know..” Hannah admitted.

“Well maybe you should get on that miss magic.”  

“Oh like I’m in charge of knowing things, why don’t you figure it out ‘shadow of Hypixel’?” Hannah rolled her eyes as she put air quotes around one of Purpled’s many titles. With a flick of her wrist she sent an opponent flying away with a vine. 

Purpled dodged a slash from an attacker, teleporting to a perch above her. He leaned over to look down at her. 

“Whatever, I’ll just get Boomer to look into it. Either way we can’t tell Hypixel. He’ll start breathing down our necks, and I like our current arrangement.” Purpled said “it took a while for us to get to this point, and I’m not throwing it away just because this world is full of weirdos.”

Hannah wholeheartedly agreed. At the moment, Hypixel was letting them run their operations relatively unsupervised. But she knew that the freedom they had would disappear as soon as they weren’t yielding results. 

She threw down a seed that grew into a flytrap, snatching up the aggressor in front of her.

“Alright, no one says anything the boss, agreed?” Hannah held out her hand.

Purpled leapt from his perch above her, and In a swift maneuver Hannah caught him, carrying them both above the islands with the strength of her wings. 

“Agreed. You wanna end this?” Vio asked.

She smirked. Channeling her powers, Rose engulfed the floating islands in vines, and crushed them until they were dust.

Tina felt like she had improved. She really did. Having someone else to practice with was working infinitely better than trying to do flips and air boxing alone in her room.

There was something exhilarating about standing in a field and trying to beat the crap out of her friend. Neither of them got too injured, as their respective transformations boosted both durability and pain tolerance.

Callahan was floating on the sidelines, occasionally giving pointers. He was able to help them both improve, and develop at least some technique.

Tina threw a punch that sent Foolish back a couple feet. As he recovered, she readied her stance again.

“Ow” Foolish pouted “why are you so mean”

“Because you're bad and you suck at this. I’ll get you!” Tina shouted as she lunged at him.

He laughed and sidestepped to dodge her strike.

They continued to spar like this until the sun started to go down. The area they were in was fairly remote, and it was unlit during the night. Tina said her goodbyes and parted ways with Foolish.

She walked home with Callahan by her side. When Tina got home she flopped onto her bed. The training had helped. She felt a little better about her abilities if the minions came back. Or when. She wasn’t really too sure about them.

Callahan had informed her that Hypixel currently had three champions, and that she’d already met all of them.

Tina thought back to her past opponents. There was the guy with the giant frog. That had been strange. She never could have predicted how her life would change the day he first showed up.

Then there was the kid with the purple cloak. He had been a bit scary, being the first one who wasn’t blindsided by her. But now she wasn’t alone, and she was sure they could beat him again.

And finally there was the one with the wings that almost seemed to glow in the light. The image was burned into her mind. Tina knew she was evil and trying to take over the world, but she could appreciate the aesthetic.

Tina fell asleep thinking about wings the colour of autumn and dangerous flowers.

She woke up to the sound of her phone’s notifications. Tina groggily looked over at the invitation on her screen. 

Who is calling for you, guardian?

“Good morning Callahan” Tina said, still shaking off the sleepiness “oh it’s Karl. He’s asking to hang out today.”

I don’t know who that is. But I trust you’ll remain vigilant even in your off time.

“Don’t worry, I will” Tina smiled at Callahan and looked back at her phone to respond to Karl.

T: sounds good :)

And so she got ready to head about her day.

Hanging out with Karl was nice. Sure the minions of Hypixel could show up at any moment and spread distrust and discord, but one had to maintain a proper work life balance when fighting the forces of evil.

They went and ordered drinks. Karl pretended like he had no money on him and Tina ended up paying for them both. He claimed he would pay her back, but only time would tell.

As they were walking down a road, Tina felt the now familiar feeling that came with the champion’s arrival. Across the street, a shouting match broke out.

Tina racked her brain in how to get to the champion without involving Karl. She wanted to keep her friends out of danger, but she knew it would be incredibly suspicious to leave without explaining why. Even an excuse could lead to him following her.

“Tina, what’s up? You just stopped mid conversation” Karl said.

Tina realized that she had stopped walking. “Oh, uh, I have to go. Don’t follow me!” Perfect. 10/10 no notes exit. Tina turned and ran towards the energy.

On her way, she transformed mid run. Ribbons elegantly flowing behind her. She did a twirl, barely losing any speed.

Tina skid to a stop in front of the champion, coming face to face with a giant frog.

“Yo! The same trick won’t work on me twice, Betsy here’s come along to put up a good fight.” The voice came from on top of the large creature. 

Standing on its head was a man Tina knew to be Amphibian, the minion she encountered when she first became a guardian.

“You won’t get away with this!” Tina declared. She put up her fists.

Amphibian leapt back as the frog he had been standing on moments prior lunged forward right towards Tina.

She yelped and dove to the side. She felt an impact beside her as the best cracked the pavement. the frog turned towards her, and Tina jumped, vaulting herself over the frog.

Her vault landed her within a few feet of Amphibian. She nearly went to strike when a voice shouted out.

“Watch out!” The voice cried. Tina was pulled back just as a large frog tongue crashed into the ground she had resided in just seconds ago. She was tinged behind a column of a nearby building.

Tina was standing face to face with Karl, who seemed to have ignored her very clear and reasonable request when she left without a good reason. Worry was evident on his face, and his eyes kept darting behind her to where she knew the champion and his beast were.

“What's going on?” He asked Tina. 

“There isn’t really time to explain” Tina gave a weak smile. 

Callahan floated up beside the two. 

Guardian, it seems you are surrounded by people with the potential to become protectors of this realm.

Eyes growing even wider, Karl seemed alarmed by the new presence. 

“Tina, what is that?” Karl gestured at Callahan.

“Do you trust me and that I wouldn’t do anything that would be too bad?” Tina asked.

“Of course,” Karl responded.

Then do you, Karl of this realm, accept the duties and power of being a guardian? Do you swear to protect this realm from those who wish to do it harm?

With one last glance at Amphibian and his frog, Karl turned his gaze back to Tina and Callahan.

“I do”

In a flash of light Karl transformed. On his head were two round ears. He had a thin tail and fine whiskers on his face. 

“I’m a mouse!” He exclaimed.

“Oh, You are!” Tina turned her attention back to the minion and his frog. “Care to help dealing with this guy?”

Karl took a small bow with a dramatic flourish and grinned. 

“Stealthy secret gift!” He said in a playful tone, and disappeared.

Tina stepped out from behind the pillar.

“Thank you for politely waiting while I took my brief break. Now prepare for defeat!” She ran towards the side of the frog to close the distance between her and Amphibian.

On the other side of the creature, a small box appeared. It was colourfully wrapped with a nice little bow. A short tune played from inside the box, and it burst into confetti. The blast seemed to stun the frog, and sent the champion towards Tina. Reacting quickly, commendably so she must say, she aimed her hands towards him.

“Purifying heart blast” she shouted. With her declaration, the minion and his frog disappeared.

In the aftermath of the fight, Tina looked around. Standing across the street was Karl, grinning like a madman.

“Care to explain what just happened?”

Roses and kittens - magical girl au

POV Hannah

“I’m going to defeat you with the power of friendship and love!”

“What?”

This wasn’t the first time Hannah had been stationed here for an assignment, but it was certainly the first since this.. person had shown up. She had heard from Boomer that a new obstacle had shown up, and she was warned that they were eccentric.

But she couldn’t help being a bit taken aback by the sudden declaration. It was certainly a strange thing to hear shouted from below, a three story difference between the ground and the roof. She tried to hide her genuine confusion as soon as she could. After all, she was Rose, sorceress of Hypixel, the blooming flower, sower of conflict. She was supped to be unshakable, an imposing force.

Caught up in her own thoughts, Hannah missed the person mumble under her breath, a slight blush on her face.

“Um, nevermind,” the next part, however, caught Hannah’s attention. She shouted “Prepare yourself!” And leapt up to face her.

Reacting to the sudden advancement, Rose threw down her rose seeds. Vines quickly sprouted from the concrete rooftop, giving her time to put space between the two of them.

She had seen from Boomer how powerful a punch from this newcomer could be, and didn’t particularly wish to be caught by one.

Her decision to make some room was the only thing that allowed Rose to brace herself as her opponent vaulted over the barrier to land a powerful kick. The blow sent her back a few feet, and she was sure her arms would bruise from where she blocked it.

Still, she should remain presentable when representing her boss on a mission. She placed a smirk on her face and straitened to meet the determined expression of the one in front of her.

“That won’t be enough to stop me, kitten.” Rose felt that was a sufficient response.

In return, Rose’s opponent took on a ready stance. “I won’t let you hurt anyone else!” She then pressed her hands together in a sort of gesture, light beginning to glow between them.

“Purifying heart blast!” As soon as the words were spoken, the light from the feline woman’s hands became blinding, completely engulfing Rose.

When her senses returned to her, Hannah realized she was no longer on the rooftop she had been previously. She was back in her home dimension.

Judging from Boomer’s account from the previous week and her own recent experience, it seemed this new variable was here to stay.

Hannah smiled to herself. Her missions were certainly about to become more interesting.

Reversed Karma AU

A Rainworld Alternate Universe.

...

 The.. triple affirmative has been found- the affirmative that a ..solution has been found, the affirmative that the..solution is portable, and the affirmative that technical implementation is possible and generally applicable.

I remember that cycle... ancients swarmed the stuff, only privilege given to the founder, Sliver of Straw, was leaving us first.

And then cycle by cycle, our parents left..

Spoilered for absurd about of text, and general spoilers.

Saint never wanted to ascend anything. And by the time every last ancient was dead and gone, cycles passed, and structures fell. The green fuzzy thing was not once fuzzy, growing a coat as the rain sent by iterators stopped.

- - So it trailed along, guilty for what was not its fault, bringing iterators to life again. With a new name, [Pilgrim].

-- Footnote : Karma needs are reversed with the Pilgrim. Dying will up their karma, surviving will lower it. Secret passages will be added to cross gates you cannot with low karma, as it is needed to progress. =======================================

Rivulet is an odd case. I wanted them to obviously give rarefaction cells, as they did to Moon originally. So the tale goes they were created by a rebellious, younger Ancient who was fond of life and the cycle. One who refused the common ideals.

-- The swift little mouse they created, was given their own ability to create low-density rarefaction cells (singularity bombs) and refine them into more high-quality cells which the Ancient learned themself.

-- As soon as the news was spread to the general public of the triple affirmative, they sent the [Technician] out into the world, wearing several pearls describing their mission. ===========

Monk and Survivor lived with their colony, and were sent to scout a new home for the colony by the [Mapmaker]. They are named [Guard] and [Scout] in Reversed Karma. They brought Scout's two slugpups with them, even if the journey was dangerous, finding a new home for Scout pups was important to both Scout and their Sibling.

-- They find the tree in journey's end, Guard staying with the pups there as Scout tells the rest of the colony, including the leader, Mapmaker.

-- Footnote: Monk still brings Moon her cloak and several pearls. =========================================

The [Mapmaker] replaces Gourmand in Reversed Karma, making a map for their colony to follow. They are the leader of their colony.

-- Very similar to vanilla, leaving current living to the tree, showing the colony to the new home.

-- Footnote : Rain is beginning to return to normal, without cold mechanic. =====================================

The [Traveler] replaces Hunter in Reversed Karma, created by Five Pebbles to check on the local group. They spawn in the grounds of Unparralled Innocence. They do not have the Rot due to Five Pebbles more careful creation of a purposed organism compared to No Significant Harrassment.

-- Footnote : Cold mechanics are in work in these areas, as UI and CW were revived later than LTTM and FP.

-- Footnote : You may optionally visit Chasing Wind. ==========

The [Mother] replaces Artificer in Reversed Karma. Their slugpups are both alive, with the same explosive quality. They give Pebbles back his cloak and become a citizen after Sofanthiel locks onto them.

-- Footnote : Mother has bad reputation with scavengers due to passing tolls without payment before the campaign. They get a backspear due to one less hand slot having two pups.

-- Footnote : Rain has returned to normal.

-- Footnote : Mother has reduced food needs compared to vanilla Artificer due to needing to feed their pups. ===============

The [Messenger] replaces Spearmaster in Reversed Karma. They were created by Seven Red Suns to send messages between them and their friends, similar to [Traveler]'s check-ins with other iterators.

-- Footnote : Messenger has a mouth, and cannot duel wield spears.

================================================

A note from the OP: I hope you like them.. I've been wanting to show them off for a while. One of my headcannons for iterators was that the natural urges are coded into them with anti-ascension stuff. Like. Make ascension for us, but not for you. This is why they were wildly unsuccessful in finding the triple affirmative. Also.. Tumblr nuked quality of my image :c If u read all this and liked it perhaps a rb?? also hehe funny number thank u all

RK!Penny for y’all

so, it was hard to find a character that fits at least a bit with Penny. So i came to the conclusion that she is (at least partially) inspired by the Mock-Turtle. In EA, she is called the Lonely Maiden

why’s that? well, the character is marked as being sad and always crying about the fact that one day they were a real turtle. They also tell tales to Alice about their days in sea school.

Apart from making puns, i think it fits pretty well.

Penny also met Alix first and after a lot of begging, she helped her find Louis. She didn’t want to be involved with the kids, afraid she would bring them harm. But Penny ended up giving in.

she showed her powers to the siblings who where amazed at the beauty of it. Penny smiled.

Alix always showed concern about Penny’s emotions, the Maiden always seemed sad, the girl didn’t know why. They became friends. Louis was quieter and she liked him a lot, he was good company.

Sometimes, Penny let her old self slip out. She felt genuinely happy, something she didn’t felt a lot before the siblings. When they were gone, she blamed her self for letting them in, she mellowed out and everything ended going wrong.

Penny didn’t knew the Cat very well, since she isolated herself from everything most of the time. But they talked and they were sorta of friends. She trusted the Cat and after they betrayed them all, she shut down once again.

their "never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an elf" moment

(from the AU described in the second half of this ask)

Jin tried to go to his department with evidence of crimes against humanity committed by Rotorworx, not knowing the city police were paid off by the company to keep things hush-hush. After being warned several times to drop it, Jin and Wes were turned over to Rotorworx. Company employees then proceeded to (poorly) interrogate the pair to find out what they'd learned so far.

Roses and kittens “episode 3″

“What is that?“ Foolish pointed at Callahan, bewilderment evident on his face.

“This is my, uh, my dog! Yes, this is my dog Callahan.” Tina blurted out the first excuse she could think of. 

As she said it, she pushed Callahan from where he had been floating to the floor, hoping that Foolish hadn’t registered that dogs don’t do that.

“A dog, riiiight…” he enunciated the last word.

Foolish bent down to pick up Callahan, holding him out in front of him to get a better look. “This is a dog, sure..”

Unhand me

“Tina, your dog talks”

At this point Tina was a bit frazzled. People couldn’t know she was a guardian. People couldn’t know about Callahan. People shouldn’t even be able to see or hear Callahan.

People shouldn’t be able to see Callahan.

“Oh my god. You can see him” Tina stared at Foolish in disbelief. “How?”

Foolish was still holding Callahan, who seemed to be getting more displeased with every passing second.

“What does that mean? Is he supposed to be a hallucination or something? Because sorry to break it to you, but you have a floating dog” Foolish said. He paused for a second. “Also you have cat ears”

“Uh, well you see..” Tina started. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the edge of a purple cloak.

She immediately grabbed Foolish’s hand and headed to the back exit. “No time to explain, we gotta go!” Tina rushed them both out of the cafe. 

Once outside, she led them away from the cafe to try and get back to her home. 

Tina was rushing. She needed to get Foolish somewhere out of the way. After that she could think of a plan, but she couldn’t let her friend be hurt because he got caught up in her mess. She was pulling him along, trying to think of where he would be out of the way.

As they paused briefly at an intersection Tina caught a flash of colour before tackling her friend onto the grass. They narrowly missed the blade that now took up the space they had just been in moments before.

Tina kicked her leg into her opponent’s chest, sending him stumbling back a couple steps.

She got up and dragged Foolish with her. She stood between him and her opponent. 

She prepared to try and create the blast that would send her enemy away, but it seemed he caught on and threw something. Whatever he just did causes him to disappear, making a temporary retreat.

Tina led Foolish into a nearby building, all too aware that the champion could return at any moment.

“Look, I know this must be very confusing, but we need to get you away. This guy could be very dangerous and I don’t want you to get hurt because if you did it would be all my fault and I would never be able to forgive myself so-”

“Tina” Foolish interrupted Tina’s panicked spiral and put his hand on her shoulder and looked straight into her eyes “what can I do to help?”

“Oh Foosh..” Tina started, but she was distracted by a glowing light that grew in front of Foolish’s chest. 

Callahan appeared, floating in front of both of them.

Oh. You might have just gained some assistance in your mission, guardian.

“What do you mean Callahan?” Tina asked. “What’s going on?”

It seems your friend has the potential to become a guardian alongside you. He may help you drive away the minions of Hypixel.

“Are you talking about me?” Foolish asked, eyes wide in disbelief.

Callahan turned his attention to him.

Do you, Foolish of this realm, accept the duties and power of being a guardian? Do you swear to protect this realm from those who wish to do it harm?

Foolish glanced at Tina, looking for some sort of confirmation. She gave a small nod.

“Ok, I accept.”

Foolish floated up, and in a flash of dazzling light he was transformed. Much like Tina, he had been given a different outfit. He had a shark tail and when Foolish gasped, it revealed a mouth full of sharpened teeth. 

“Oh Tina! This is crazy, how long have you been hiding this?” Foolish asked as he checked out his magical form.

“Oh you know, not too long,” she said. This was all moving a bit quickly for Tina, but she knew they would have to turn their focus back to the immediate problem they still faced.

The group’s momentary respite ended as the champion returned, apparently having decided he was no longer in danger of being caught off guard and sent back.

“If you can slow him down long enough, I’ll be able to send him back to his realm.” Tina told Foolish. He nodded. They both headed out of the building to fight.

The two split up to confront their opponent from each side. Tina ducked to dodge an arc from the blade. 

“Alright, let’s see what you can do!” Tina shouted. The champion’s face turned from  an expression of concentration to something a bit more smug.

“I think you’re a bit outclassed here, but if you insist.” He said, preparing a strike.

“I wasn’t talking to you” Tina said with a grin “now!”

She looked over to Foolish. He lifted his hands out in front of him, and began to focus. 

“Shimmering sparkle storm!” 

Tina backed up a few steps as the air around the champion began to glow. Sparkling drops of light appeared, moving like a heavy rainfall.

“Ugh, what the” the minion tried to bat away the droplets. His movement was limited in the area the storm affected.

Tina took her chance, and readied her power. She spun and aimed her attack.

“Purifying heart blast!”

In a flash the champion was gone, sent back to Hypixel.

Tina ran over to Foolish, jumping up and down in excitement. 

“We did it Foosh! We did it!” Tina was grinning madly. Tina let out an excited noise and Foolish parroted her, matching her in level of energy.

“I know! Tina is crazy! You went pew, and bam he was gone, you were so cool!”

“You were kind of cool too, you know with the sparkles and stuff”

“Really? You think so?” Foolish said in a high pitched voice, pretending to be humble.

“Yeah! Thanks for the help, I couldn’t have done it without you.” 

“Anytime. But seriously, what is all this? We were just attacked by a purple guy with a sword. That’s crazy”

Tina thought about how to explain everything. There was so much, and she was very new herself. Maybe Callahan could explain it better.

“Let’s head back to the cafe. I’ll get Callahan to explain.”

“Oh of course, let’s go talk to your dog” Foolish grinned and started running before Tina could hit him.

___

Hannah was just minding her business in the common room. She was fiddling with a small flower she had grown in her hands. It was a small stem of lavender. She grew the buds and watched as they bloomed.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed from the ceiling, and from it came Purpled, who landed splayed out on his stomach.

“Hey, are you alive?”

“There’s more of them” Purpled mumbled, not moving from where he laid.

“Oh”

Roses and Kittens - Part 2 Pov Tina

After the sorceress had been banished from this realm, Tina slid to the ground and buried her head in her hands, face red hot. She then let out a muffled scream.

Why did she say those things? So embarrassing. It felt like the natural thing to do at the time, but looking back after made her want to put a fist through a wall.

Her tail swayed back and forth in agitation, which was still a strange sensation. Tina wasn’t really used to the extra features that came with her transformation. Only two confrontations wasn’t nearly enough time to be fully comfortable in combat situations.

She was probably going to try and transform more later when she was alone. She laid down on the roof and stared at the sky.

She should probably head back.

Tina’s day had started normal enough. She had woken up, gotten ready, and had almost been late to class.

Her friends liked to joke that she ran on Tina time, and that’s why she was always late. It wasn’t her fault everything always took so long. Nevertheless, she managed to barely make it to class on time.

When she had entered, something felt off. The atmosphere was more tense than would be expected of students waiting for a lecture. Even the professor had an uncomfortable energy roll off of them like a fog, pooling heavy in the room.

She slipped into the room and rushed to her seat. The lecture started relativity normally, when she ignored the strange tension. She paid attention as best she could until part way through a commotion was heated outside the door.

The noise kept getting louder until the lecturer couldn’t ignore it and went to check on what was happening.

As soon as they left the room, a small creature appeared in front of her in a puff of smoke.

“Callahan!” Tina whisper yelled “what are you doing, someone might notice!”

Nobody but you can see me. Don’t worry about that.

The words appeared in her mind, coming soundlessly from the little deer guy. She looked around and sure enough, she hadn’t gained any attention aside from a curious glance from a classmate.

You must have noticed that something is off, Guardian. The negative energy in this area is not natural. One of Hypixle’s minions is spreading discord on campus. You must find them and send them back to their realm before they can gather enough power to open the portal.

Tina nodded. There was identifiable yelling in the halls at that point. She used the commotion to slip out of the room without much fuss.

As soon as she felt she was out of sight, Tina started running down the hall. After running out of the building, she realized she wasn’t sure where the threat was. She spun around to face Callahan, who had been floating behind her the whole time.

“Hey Callahan, what exactly am I looking for?”

The minions of Hypixle exude negative energy to complete their task. Concentrate and reach out. Find the source.

Tina closed her eyes and tried to feel the world around her. As she did, she sensed the miasma that she had previously only passively felt.

It was almost visible to her, she saw it flowing like a river in many directions, all come from one source, outside the building.

She opened her eyes and began running to the source.

Once she was out of the building, Tina activated her transformation. Her body glowed as her outfit changed. Gloves with lavender ribbons appeared on her hands, and she felt her shoes change to heels that would have tripped her up if not for her improved balance. Ears and a tail showed up in a shower of sparkles.

After it was completed, she struck a pose. Her outfit was cute, with its soft pinks and lavenders, and she would not be embarrassed about it.

Tina looked up to the source of the energy. Atop the building opposite to her, was a woman hovering from the roof.

The striking figure wore a long flowing sleeveless dress, displaying flower vines that wrapped around one of her arms. The flowers crawled from her hand to her head, weaved into her wavy brown hair. The flowers themselves were the most vibrant red roses Tina had ever seen.

The most eye catching feature, however, were the massive wings, reminiscent of a dragonfly. The wings were enchantingly iridescent, with a gradient of greens, reds, and oranges. They were strikingly beautiful.

Tina tore her gaze away from the person above her and began to compose herself. She is a guardian, however little experience she had, and she was going to drive her new opponent and defend her world.

She took a deep breath and turned to face her foe.

okay so! i guess they're high schoolers, not uni students as per the last post, so connor and cameron (sixty) are seniors, and richard (nines) is a sophomore. obviously their nicknames match up with their jersey numbers, and connor used to be number 51 before he quit in order to be student council president (before resigning the role to markus bc bro is burning tf out). they're known collectively as the stern brothers (why they've kept amanda's name is smth im keeping secret for now) and they're sort of known around the district for absolutely demolishing their competition. hank is Proud Dad TM and makes sure to document all of their wins.
