Pass it along! Let's see your pfp in its full-sized glory!

Made by me a long time ago. I want to change the pfp, but most of my sketches don't look great shrunken.

Tycho thankfully misses an opportunity to meet someone whom he has no desire to even think of ever again.

Sidra unfortunately has the displeasure of meeting that person and gets some harsh insight why he adamantly refused to even risk going.

Magic is a weird subject of law... regulations of it on the Mortal Plains currently fall under categories of law like;
"Disturbing the peace, "Rioting," etc. Depending on the specific damage done. But the thing is... the use of magic may not be noted in official files.

What's the relationship between magic and the law in your world?

Is magic illegal? If so, how is the law enforced?

If it's legal, are there any specific techniques that ARE illegal or forbidden? Why?

Is magic perhaps used to *enforce* the law?

Tycho quickly cut in. Tiamat snorted at that. "We know." Tiamat stood taller, then looked down on the tanuki. "But let us ask you this... how many rabbits quit recently?" Tiamat asked as she glowered at Tycho. "What does that have to do with anything?" He questioned, Tiamat rolled her hand, pointing with a single finger. "Staffing, that's what it has to do with this subject. Okashi is having difficulties finding qualified servants, isnt she?" Tiamat questioned before crossing her arms. "Ones that'd tolerate the Gods behavior... We know a good handful who could and would. The caveat being they're demons, and the Demon Redemption Program can only take on so many at a time." Tiamat began to elaborate, "I still don't understand-" Tycho started, Tiamat's eyes locked with his. "We want to open the gates of heaven to more hell-binded souls." Tiamat bluntly stated, "We want more demons in the heavens to serve Gods. We and you will make it possible. By making the message clear." Tiamat noted, Tycho shook his head. "I am not a fighter!" He noted, Tiamat lowered her head. "We know. The council knows. Any god who's met you can tell you that. You're softer than a sea sponge. They know you're nothing but a skiddish rabbit. Yet they also know you're a demon, and that's all we need from you to stay nearby, be at our beck and call. To show the value of your kind. Do this, and consider your debt to us cleared." Tiamat offered, Tycho winced at that. "In fact, we'd be in debt to you if this plan is successful." Tiamat held out a clawed hand flatly. "Now... do you wish to pay back the debt now, with rippling effects that'd help the rabbit you look up to or later when itll be too late to make a difference?" Tiamat spoke softly, and slowly. Her voice was a haunting, but captivating melodic choir in his ears, he knew she was twisting his words, preying on his desire... But he took her clawed hand.

"What do you usually do?"
"Brush my hair with that comb you're using."
"Then?"
"What do you mean? By then, I'm usually wearing the gaudy dress and crown."
"Nevermind, I get the issue."
Sidra looked over her shoulder, glowering at the tanuki annoyed, "What's that supposed to mean!?"

Tycho is one of the few rabbits who isn't just cutting checks at Moon Rabbit Services. He gets satisfaction out of working as a servant, whether it's cooking, cleaning, giving massages, pampering(pedicures, hair/fur brushing, etc.), it doesn't matter...

Once he got there, he picked up a dirty dish bucket, and began to make rounds. Figuring it'd be the least disturbing way to began to make himself useful. As Okashi mentioned, the rabbit would occasionally give Tycho's uniform a tug, he'd lower his bucket, and the rabbit's or other students would drop in a bowl, spoon cover in sauce, knives. A few imps and yellow banded students looking lost for an idea of how to meld in seemed to take notice of Tycho's work. They decided to follow Tycho's lead slowly integrating themselves in. A few minutes in, while he made more round, he noticed a few of the students with Navy Blue and Purple bands even offered to trade places with students with a Yellow band, or ones he knew where new to the kitchen. He smiled, it felt nice to see the staff of such an elite restaurant help newbies get mixed into the flow. Seeming to get lost in thought as his arm brushed against something... bushy. Way more coarse in feel then rabbit fur, he winced fearing he may've bumped into one of his superiors while absent-mindedly walking, one of the biggest cardinal sins in high in restaurants.

Powerful is subjective. There's many forms of it in the RPP, and picking one is extremely difficult... so I'll judge it by Death Battle standards, take the Gods and Demon lords out of the equation, and that still is difficult to judge.

This might be a tricky question, but in your opinion, what is the ✨️most powerful✨️ use of magic in your system?

Of course, this all depends on how you define "powerful"! It may not necessarily have anything to do with how much damage is dealt...

A lot of my uses of hurt are in spoiler territory... so I went with this.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
"He is wary of demons because a bad incident during our childhood." Sidra explained, The snake waved its hand dismissively. "I get it. I've had a few bad encounters myself." The woman shook her head, "Besides... that excuse is a hard sell, I dont want ya to hurt yourself getting tangled in lies. I've seen that imp you he travels with." The woman crossed her arms smirking. As her hands moved, Sidra's eyes drifted to a glint at the snake's hips, it turned out to be the sheathed dagger hanging strapped to the belt, showing blatantly on her clothes.... and looked rather sizeable with a round bright red gem in the golden claws of the hilt. "Pretty little thing isn't it?" The serpent pulled the dagger out... it was much thinner then the sheath made it look, thin as a needle. "If I had teeth or nails, it'd be a very tricky, and precise job. But get it done with unparalleled ways." She noted as she ran her claws over the thin needle like blade. At that, it seemed to finally click in Sidra's mind who she maybe talking seemed to realize who she was talking to. "If you are who, I think you are... Tycho says; Hello, he plans to visit again soon, and can't wait to look for more moss and mushrooms." At that the snake's brow raised, her eyes focusing directly on Sidra now... and her lips giving the fox a knowing smile. "If you are Tamara, the most talented Electric and Wind magic user in Spectre's Pass?" Sidra asked, making Murabaa give his cousin a confused look. "I prefer the title; Weather Witch of Spectre's Pass." The witch clarified, then gave a small laugh. "But yes. I am, and I assume if your asking... you want lessons?" "I am prepared to pay." Sidra nodded in confirmation. "It'll cost you more then money." Tamara noted, making Murabaa glower at the serpent, Sidra crossed her arms. "Would you like to clarify?" She asked trying not to sound suspicious.

Sidra and Tycho LOVE bargin deals. They rarely haggle with people unless it's in the Demon market, and even then, Tycho won't argue a price unless he truly notices a flaw in quality like bones.

The second flame is a taboo subject, because among other things... its a reminder of humiliating scars.

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
"Gods do not speak of the Second Flame because they hate to speak of the fire that left ashes of the pages of their friends and family, as do we." Tiamat answered vaguely, "I see... I won't ask then." Tiamat's lips subtly curled at that response, her eyes narrowing. "The Second Flame was a War." Tycho's eyes went wide, he wasn't expecting her to continue. "The War of the Second Flame, a War between Gods, that ended many, and left more wounded in a way they'd never heal, including ourselves." Despite the gravity of her words, they came out in that same choir like tone that captivated the tanuki. "Primordial, it is what we are, and what a handful of other gods are. In mortal language it means ancient, sometimes it means to be original. Before anything... that isnt wrong when referring to ones like us." Tiamat noted as her eyes watched Tycho carefully. "But to gods it has one additional meaning; finality." Tycho looked at her confused for a moment... then realized what she meant, her face going sickly pale. "You'd die... for good?" "The dreams, and prayers of many God's and Rabbits answered. Eternal, true death." Tiamat confirmed, Tycho's ears drooped. "I... I'm so sorry." Tiamat's smirk grew, she couldn't help it, and Tycho noticed. "Wh-why are you smiling? Is it not-" "Your evaluation has proven passable." Tiamat stated bluntly, "Wh-wait where you testing me!?" "Of course." "Was all that-?!" "No. It was true. Every bit of it." Tiamat answered as she began her stride to Tycho's side. "Our history, the war, our mortality, all of it; factual history." Tiamat's clawed hand rested on Tycho's shoulder. "We needed to know if we could believe your words." Tiamat stopped behind Tycho and her other hand landed the opposing shoulder. He could feel her slowly lean down and loom over his ears. "You give us genuine veneration. You act without question..." He could feel her exhale heavily, as she spoke, "You'll fit nicely into what we plan."

There's many divisions of magic, between the usual elements(fire, lightning, wind, etc.), unusual ones(music, written, glamour, etc.), the ones born from Demi-children and devils(honey-kenesis, chaos theory, greed's hunger, etc.)

Sidras' ideal date night would end with her finding a partner who could support her and actually help her beat a massive beast, no matter who or what they are.

Murabaa is a lot more picky. He'd want to feel a genuine desire for whatever woman stood before him.
