mostly it's just a chance for me to draw attention to yes, she really is a magical girl because this is the most stereotypical "magical girl yells about the power of love and justice" shit that's ever left setsuna's mouth since arriving on the rig, that time she bawled out price in text included
kerrigan approves of punching things to dust but not of the speech
setsuna is just going to always be Like This so kerrigan will just have to learn to deal with it
she's ignoring kokichi, she can ignore this too
honestly i love that setsuna got paired with these two extremely tired space marines
because, on the one hand, setsuna can hit hard enough to back up the force of her convictions, on the other hand, her convictions are ... like this
space marines from universes where love is 100% Not Enough: the fuck was in those ivs jorgmund was giving you
(fun fact tho, the moral of halo is in fact Friendship is Magic)
technically, she should still be on them. somewhere out there, a bunch of nurses are in a panic because they saved Setsuna's life and now there's a child killing monster out there and she's missing
yeah i have no idea how magical girl secret identities work b/c i have watched like...15 minutes of sailor moon and they look exactly the same between their civilian identities and their superhero ones
i'm assuming the key is in the magic part
okay, so you're not actually supposed to be able to recognize them?
i need to know so i don't have kerrigan ask setsuna what her damage is
yeah, one thing abt precure is that precures can look anywhere from close but not quite their civvie guise and their magical girl selves, to wildly different
(though the telepathy might do it with kerrigan)
(that said, IIRC, in the sailor moon manga, the one time they run into a guy who knows them pretty well in their civilian identities and gets an actual, honest to God good look at them, recognizes them pretty easily.)
f'rex: the protag of the season that just finished airing, normal vs magical girl appearance
vs setsuna, in same
vs ... megumi aino, the lead from
happinesscharge, in same comparison
Considering the hair they gain
they oughta consider donating
precure semi-regularly wind up interacting with people they know normally as precure without anyone ever clocking they're the same person off appearance alone; some of these are because their friend circles are also all kids and are as a ruleprofoundly oblivious* under certain circumstances
..... why did the asterisk betray me
and then on the other hand it's because usually they're in the middle of fighting a monster, so they don't much give anyone a reason to even think about whether they know the magical girls doing the fighting
the few times someone's been motivated to want to know who they are and then winds up immediately hearing a precure say something only their bff/hero worship figure irl also says, they clock 'em immediately, and there's no like
it's because you like times new roman
plat that was terrible and also obscure
that makes it even better!
thing preventing them from just giving the game away by mannerism or anything. they're just. usually different enough and magically changed enough that nobody, sometimes not even the villains, figures it out
(90% of the time the villains figure it out because literally no cure ever runs away from a monster, it's kind of their defining unifying characteristic: the one universal criteria that almost guarantees you're a precure is you see a giant monster terrorizing your city/town and instead of running away you grab, i dunno, a mop, and try to fight it.)
so i'm personally playing it fast and loose wrt whether people clock that cure passion is setsuna, because there's enough wiggle room in the franchise on that score and most everyone on the rig is perceptive enough that literally any conclusion a player wants to come to about that is a-ok with me
kerrigan's a telepath so when she sees setsuna she'll probably get it
nora will never ever notice
i feel like this means south's going to be really goddamn confused by the fact she can't actually see someone who looks like setsuna currently looks on the print out lmao
"who tf is helping us right now"
anytime i worry i'm playing nora too dumb, i remember it took her a solid 5 minutes to make a connection between characters named qrow and raven and an ability to turn into birds :')
tara, there's a small village in gaul?
to be fair to nora, qrow spells his name with a q. that could've confused anyone!
she busts out with her conclusion and everyone in the room is like "...anyway"
ping ping ping for
dragoon1940 and
gravenrose setsuna's trying to vouch for adora here but she's run into the snag of ... not having been with either of you two the whole time before the alarm went off, so she kinda has to fall back on catra's word on the matter now, whoops
I feel like adora and Catra have been shacking up while Setsuna is in hospital but I'd want to confirm with
dragoon1940:
yeah that was my guess too but setsuna definitely wouldn't have been hanging out with them for that whole block of time herself, so i legit have to toss this one to you and stefan
tenten's just very >| that everyone trusts Robbie and Brainy and Dave and is ready to throw Adora under the bus
Brainy and Robbie were legit shacked up most of the evening bc they're happy about earning a door
Also wasn't there a thing about a uniform?
It's hard to determine sizes but there are heights and weights to help people estimate
Like Robbie is a solid 6'
dave, adora, and brainy all probably fit a medium
since they're all 5'7"/5'8"
unless i am bad at heights.
i might be bad at heights, also, i usually am
how do i add a row for setsuna to this chart without fucking up someone else's row
Adora has been staying with Catra for the most part, yeah.
Add her to the bottom and I'll do up the range selection later
I just gotta select a bunch of columns and it sort by range
dragoon1940: "for the most part" is unfortunately not going to cut it with the rest of the rig, i don't think :x
setsuna is just going to try and befriend every single thorny-exterior/yearning-interior antagonist on this rig if it kills her
(hard mode for her with this plan will be when/if she ever gets around to attempting this with armstrong.)
apologies to north and south for setsuna
He just doesn't want people to get hurt is all!
setsuna is completely with him on this line of thinking, she just also thinks he counts as people
and also drastically misunderstands what kind of sibling relationship the dakotas have with each other
sometimes it is better to ask forgiveness than permission and it is in that spirit that
setsuna does not wait to find out if anyone else has already tried literally hitting some sense into adora before just walking across the medical section halls to do it herself
setsuna is too good for this world
lmao, Stacia was on her way to do just that! But then she got distracted by Ragabashing instead
the girls are fiiiiiiiiighting!
