    That Pokémon buddy is... unnatural.

    Not to double-post! But I'm double-posting! Ahahahaha! That's TWO posts!

    On to slightly less stupid things. A third NPC is gonna show up soon - specifically, I'll be bringing out one of the Eight Masters from before (if I've namedropped them). Would you prefer to vote on who y'all want to see first, or would you rather I just RNG roll it? Or just pick one out myself.

    Keep in mind, most of them aren't going to be hugely plot relevant - + - the only one who is isn't going to be an option, and if y'all vote em I'll go for the runner-up   . At most, this will change the personality of who you're talking to, and possibly get some insight on certain schools of magic. Not much will change in the long run, just a name for you to know.

    @WavePearl @SAF @Jupjami @122 Generation @ID Zeta

    I realized I didn't give y'all enough information, so as request on Discord: names and quick blurbs.

    Alchemist Master Harvin Jerof: A nervous but well-meaning man. The most recent Master, only around for a year or two. His studies focus on trying to break down what makes the Luminous tick.

    Bard master Cira Sairon: Mischievous and laid-back, but honest and gets the job done. An investigator with a knack for getting the truth out of others, owed to her own magic.

    Battlemage master Penelope Qing: Friendly and outgoing to everyone around her, regardless of rank, but still very much a fierce warrior on the battlefield.

    Duelist master Idra Wei: Serious but gentle, and a bit grandiose in manner of speech. Often seen as the leader of the other Masters. Specializes in teleportation and has sort of a galactic flair to them.

    Summoning master Sirènne Yun: A quiet, beautiful woman with a small smile on her face at almost all times. Also kind of terrifying, with ghost stories floating around her.

    Terraforming master Marlen Cho: Stoic and straightforward, but fair in judgement. Takes work seriously. Their intimidation is owed to their muscles, height, and tendency to not smile much.

    Transmutation master Revelo Anneleth: A cocky young man who knows he's the... stuff. Speaks to the point with an aura of smugness. Is not afraid to be brutal in combat.

    Vitality master Alfred Hui: Strict. No-nonsense. Blunt. Probably lacks a humor drive. Looks like he wants to go back to his lab and never leave, and acts about the same way.

    As for their appearances, I'll post that here when I'm done.

    Honestly, out of the Eight Masters, I'd rather have a friendlier one to show up first...

    @WavePearl @Jupjami @122 Generation @ID Zeta

    How about you guys?

    I'd want to meet the Bard master first, but that's me.

    So now we have those two posts above (me wanting to see a friendlier master first and Wave specifically wanting to see the Bard one), and according to this:
    upload_2023-5-6_5-28-11.png
    Jup wants to randomize and I'm honestly not sure what 122 meant, so...

    @ID Zeta?

    I kind of agree with seeing one of the friendlier masters first, but I don't have a preference beyond that.

    Speakin of the Eight Masters! Now with a visual guide.
    The lines in the back are height bars. As a rough sort of guide, Cira is supposed to be like around 1-1.1 meters tall.

    Note that some of them are using their Luminous powers in this - that would be Cira giving Idra their effects, and Revelo, who always has some part of his body transmuted at all times.

    I meant the schools of magic :)

    @ChocoChicken

    You drew this?! This is well done! Although Cira is quite... smol maybe even Nora-smol?!

    That said, I wouldn't mind a map if you have the time.

    Too smol for a Nora-smol, actually. :D

    For the record, this is the Nora we're talking about. I'd imagine she could be easily mistaken as a 10 y.o. when she's actually 14 (was 13 at the start of the RP she's in) -- and Cira's even more petite than that! :D

    Cira is still (hopefully) pretty clearly an adult though, least I hope, though she's still young. Nora has time to grow, while Cira's stuck like this for eternity. Though I wouldn't call her petite, she is quite heavy.

    Aw, thanks! It took me stupid long (aka I put it off for weeks). But for a map, for reasons I will not clarify, I will not be able to provide that at this time. Sorry.

    And I did some calculations for the heights.
    - Harvin: 159 cm
    - Cira: 110 cm
    - Idra: 196 cm
    - Penelope: 149 cm (around Elio's height)
    - Marlen: 181 cm (slightly taller than Ando)
    - Sirènne: 147 cm
    - Revelo: 156 cm
    - Alfred: 174 cm (bit taller than Robin)

    Ah, should've clarified that I meant it height-wise. I'm pretty much aware Cira is an adult -- just too smol for a Nora-smol to the point of me thinking she's a dwarf's descendant or something.

    @WavePearl @Jupjami

    Speaking of heights though, how tall are Kanaru and Wakeng here? Just curious.

    Kanaru is about 5'3" (1.61 m)--just slightly taller than an adult Japanese lady.

    Hi everyone! This is just @LassusVulpes 's insane way of saying they want to rejoin.
    Since story-wise Li just kind of blipped into the background and this is probably a good moment to rejoin, I'm all for it, but I'd like to ask everyone else about their input. Their thoughts?
    I'll also ask Lassus to fill in their thoughts about Li's magic in a bit as well.
    Aight that's all, time to ping

    I'm not opposed. Now would probably be the best time to reintegrate Li anyways.

    Agreed. Might as well assume that Li was very very confused about whatever the heck just happened during our tutorial puzzle while at it. Y'know, the isekai premise and all.

    Based on the Chainsaw Man music here, I expect Li's reintegration to be dramatic or ominous ;)
