Turn 0: In which they become magical girls:By rights, it should have been a dark and stormy evening. It goes with mad science like clouds go with the sky, after all. It's
traditional. Instead, the sky was clear and the ruby red sunset filtered through the clouds of steam surrounding the city, shedding the last rays of the day.
And then everything went horribly wrong. One of the research labs exploded suddenly, blossoming into a cloud of flame, smoke, and flying debris that covered the skyline and blotted out the sun.
Much of the falling metal scrap was useless, but some of the sturdier items survived, including seven unique talsimans. Each flew in a separate direction, and when they landed, bursts of energy discharge warped the terrain slightly, drawing the attention of nearby people.
Actions:All: Inspect the strange energy burst
(
6): Each of you finds a strange, metallic gem covered in small hinges and faint creases. As you approach, another discharge of energy lashes out, knocking you backward, and unconscious. When you awaken, you find the gem has attached itself to your wrist, and your clothing has changed slightly. A small recording begins playing from the gem, though the sound is tinny at best.
"Unauthorized activation detected; Attempting to cancel... Attempt failed; System damage and error detected; overwriting user data... complete; beginning introduction:" followed by a more normal, masculine voice saying "Greetings magical girls. I am the professor who designed these talismans. By now the talisman should have fused with you, and is impossible to remove short of the removal of the attached arm, or death. You should find that you can transform between a "Magical girl" state, and your normal appearance at whim, simply by concentrating. When in the MG state, you can release the energy within the talisman to alter the world around you. The energy will recharge slowly, afterwords, so be careful. I expect you're eager to get to saving the world, so this is the end of the message. See you soon." At that, the recording cuts off, and you sit there in a daze.
