give her a hug. make you both feel better.

dont worry, its not like its supposed to be common!

nor related to our family!

and have i told you i got a new kitty? he glows in the dark and piss lava!

>>186759
Seriously that happened wasn't your fault, if anyone is to blame it's the demon.

Take your seat next to her and make sure you haven't missed anything important for class today.

Hug's a bit too much, really, but a hand on the shoulder's okay.

"This really puts a damper on getting a new kitten. I'm sure things will be okay."

>"I guess you're right... just kinda weird."

"Maybe I'll have to show ya that kitten sometime. Kittens cheer anyone up."

>"Heh... maybe."

We head into school. A lot of people are talking. ...I just need to keep quiet. It shouldn't be too hard to act like that. Right?

Just act like you always do, but try not to force it. Just remember that you were nowhere near the explosion and know nothing about it, right?

>>214884
Sound advice. You should follow it.

>>214884

Uh oh, guess who just woke up!

All right. Stay frosty. You do have a giant cockroach that was sleeping in your backpack and she just woke up though.

Don't worry! Just smuggle her down to the school kitchen. She'll fit right in with all the other giant cockroaches there, and you can pick her back up after school. Just make sure you grab the one with the bow when you leave.

Hey Paro what do?

After claiming a stall, I open my bag.

> "Did you feel that? We gotta go!"

"What're you talking about? I've got school! I can't just leave! And you can't just go moving about when you're in my backpack!"

>"No, you don't understand! There's one of them out there! We've got to go get it before it gets too strong! You've got a responsibility!"

Oh fuck what the hell do I do what the hell. I can't just leave school but I can't leave this thing alone but if I'm not here they'll call home and if I don't go it'll get stronger oh man...

>>233704
Transform right now. They'll have no idea it's really you coming out of the bathroom!

Totally.

>>233705
If only there was a way to make them believe you were still attending classes!

>>233704
How much stronger how quickly? Because if you have to ditch class that would be very much a problem. And if you have to fight in the middle of the day that'll be an even bigger one.

Tell her school is as much a responsibility as this whole monster slayer thing. It's not like you want to be here, you have to be here.

>>233704
Hmm, you need to get sick leave. Quickest way to do that is probably throwing up near a teacher, that tends to make them insisit that you go home, especially if you look sick and pathethic. Just have to make sure they don't notice you faking it.

>>233704
send cricket to scout everything, when the class intermission happens, go kick butt.

ask if she can make an illusion. an illusion of you still here would be great. could even just leave it here in the bathroom.

>>233704
Go to class, leave Cricket here.
Have Cricket pull the fire alarm while you're in class, then meet up on the roof or something.

"No, YOU don't understand! I can get in a world of trouble if I cut class! I have to be here, even if I don't want to be! I've got a responsibility to be here, too. I'll get in trouble here and at home. And what the hell were you doing in there, anyways?"

"What's a little trouble compared to your whole WORLD getting thrown into chaos?"

"Look, you said it would get stronger. How MUCH stronger? How quick? And we'd be fighting in broad daylight!"

"That armor you first had wasn't exactly tissue paper, and last night, you ruined it. And that was only against a demon that had only just joined with its host. The longer it has to get familiar with its host, the stronger it will be, and the longer its host has to get used to the abilities, the stronger it will be. That's not even including its recovery from being imprisoned for so long, naturally healing."

"Well... isn't there some way to like... I don't know... make some kind of body-double or something for me to still be in class?"

"I don't know. Can you make illusions?"

"No... but... you're magic! Can't you do something?"

"Bugs... don't exactly have the best magic potential. Too small, short lived. I'm trying to figure out this form, but right now, it's looking like I might have trouble even simply channelling energies until I figure it out. This isn't exactly the figure I grew up and lived my life in, you know. It's lucky that this figure can fly on its own."

Ohhh balls. I leave, I'm screwed. I stay, I get beat up more when I go after it. I leave halfway, maybe I could do better against it, but it'll still suck. If I get sick, they'll call my mom to come get me, or maybe my brother. They never make it look this difficult on tv... oh man oh man...

>>255475
This is gonna suck...
First thing that comes to mind is "Pull the trigger" and sneak out of your house, but that'd be too slow... Fuck it, just bolt and if anyone asks... I don't know.

PRIORITIES.

What is more important? Stopping this monster before it can cause more destruction? Or maintaining your status qou?

Bolt and say your friend is in trouble?

I mean it's kinda true so long as you consider the world to be your friend i guess

>>255475
Pull the fire alarm. Make damn sure nobody sees you. Fight monster, preferably in some alley where people can't see you. Then return before they notice that you're missing. Ok, they might notice it before you're back, but you can come up with some excuse then.

>>255527
Stand on the toilet, shout out "THE WORLD IS MY FRIEND! IT NEEDS ME!" And then it is time to run off and save the world.

>>255558
Best solution.

pray that a teacher is one.

alternatively, make bug pull fire alarm, fight in nearly empty school.

>>255560
Oooh, good idea. The destruction would close the school for a few days, too, making it easier to go out and fight.
DO NOT PULL THE FIRE ALARM YOURSELF. THEY SQUIRT INK THAT BINDS TO SKIN AND CLOTHES.

Rrgh... don't have a choice...

"...fine. I just need a way to get out of here. I'm gonna go to class. When I do, I need you to pull the fire alarm."

>"The what?"

"The fire alarm. It's a red box on the wall that says 'fire alarm'. It's got a lever to pull down. It'll set off alarms, and we'll all have to get out of the school while they check the alarm out. I can use that time to get out of here."
=====
Soon, I'm running. I have to hurry. Maybe I can get back quick enough if I get this done.

>"I think we're far enough away. You should probably change before we find it. Just remember that method I said last night."

What? ...oh. Right. I should change, shouldn't I? I run into someplace out of the way...

I skid to a halt as Rebeka slows to look around.

"I could swear this is where I felt it..." She darts around, looking wherever she can.

I can't really feel anything different.

"So where is it?"

...

What was that just now?

Is that a fucking squirrel.

Is it fucking pulsing with green energy.

Hit it with your bat and then run away.

>>274416
Looks like a squirrell, possibly powered by the green sun. And it's fast as all fucking hell.

You're going to have to try to use that speed against it. Look for a place with a lot of gravel. That way you can throw the gravel into the air when the thing is zipping past and that should make it slow down some, or possibly work as a weapon if it goes fast enough.

>>274416
Shit. Demon squirrel.

Well, first line of defense is "whack with bat," right?

God damn it all... I guess I'll get plenty of exercise today, at least...

>>274439
Find super glue or some other good adhesive. Put large amounts on the ground around you. Squirrell tries superspeed attack and then gets stuck. You whack it with the bat and victory is yours.

Speed is king in a fight. This is going to be difficult unless you can corner it or predict its movements. I would suggest trying a feint, and/or drawing it into an enclosed space.

>>274439
Yell "Heartland Slugger! Projectile mode!"

Try and find somewhere with a large body of water (pond/lake/river)? It'll either restrict it's movement, or get it wet enough that it'll skid around in straight and easier to predict lines.

...stupid bug... stupid squirrel. "I was hoping this stupid looking bat could shoot lasers or something."

NOW she tells me... "Well, how do I do that?"

"Can't you teach me ANYTHING? Like how to cast or tap into magic some crap?"

Stupid vauge, confusing bug... "...whatever."

... The squirrel's doing something. "It's doing something."

>"Yes, looks like it's waiting for something or getting ready."

"No, something else. I don't know what, but it's doing something even though it's stopped up there and--" Oh fuck what was that? here it comes.

Close your eyes, turn off your targeting computer, trust in your instincts.

...and swing for the fences.


(Either it works, in which case you look awesome, or it fails horribly, in which case we will be highly amused)

>>304115
Focus, and imagine a shield in front of you. Block its charge and then smash it while it is stunned.

>>304115
Okay. He is charging right for you. STEP TO THE SIDE.

Use its speed against it, it has momentum, things in motion want to stay in motion. Just hold your bat firmly with both hands, your hands should be 2 feet apart on the bat. one near its bottom and one halfway between the middle and top. Then just move it into the path of the creature as it zips on by. Your bat seems to steal power from the demons for you, so if it hits it, it might make you faster, fast enough to fight it on a more even footing perhaps.

Also, when you beat this thing, do not run away... you should wait for the news reporters and the cops, then show the news reporters (cops can wait, you want the news to see it first) how you transform. Then tell them everything. Make sure to say that the demon blew up that street yesterday, not you, you just stopped it from blowing up more. It was a fire demon.

They can help, remember your friend? her dad's car was ruined... what if her dad was in it? he could have died. If people know about you then you could get out of school whenever needed, the police can evacuate the area, you can get training and aid from the military, your friend the roach isn't going to be killed be exterminators, your family will be taken care of, and there could be a police car or helicopter ready to drive you anywhere you need to go to fight a demon. Oh, and they could get scientists to learn magic from Rebeka, study you and your equipment and the animals you save. Don't worry about dissection, that's just movies and its stupid. Scientists know better than that, if you dissect something you can't study it well, you need to look through it while it is alive. This means using MRI machines, used to be X-ray but MRI is better in that it doesn't give you cancer.

Better idea, rather than have the goverment get in the way of you saving your city and everything and poking at you with sticks for the next 5 to 10 years, how about just running away faster while waving to the witnesses that are no doubt watching you.

Although the battle plan for the squirrel sounds solid! Teach it some SCIENCE!

Just concentrate on the world... and your mind will speed up...
