My name is Cecile, and I'm sixteen years old. I already thought my life was odd, what with my parents having moved halfway across the country for their new job and leaving me in the care of my older sister... but then my best friend went and had a book shipped to my house that ended up giving me superpowers.

With our stomachs filled with pizza, Charlotte, Gabrielle and myself have finally left the pizzeria and are now getting ready to head our separate ways for the evening.

Maybe.

>"Yeah, but I don't spend enough time at home as it is," I reply. "I don't want Allison to start thinking that I'm trying to move in with you."
>"I don't think Charlotte would mind that at all," Gabrielle says, glancing at her big sister's beet-red face.


"Sorry Charlotte, but I can't really do that," I say. "Allison'd probably end up pregnant if I wasn't around to keep her in line."
"C- c'mon, you two..." Charlotte mumbles.
"It's fine if you wanted to come over, though," I shrug.
"Wha!?" she gasps. "I- I mean I really couldn't impose like that... I have Milla to worry about too and I don't think your sister would be okay with-"

Oh.

Oh crap.

"I didn't mean to move in!" I say, throwing my hands in the air. "I was just saying that you could come over to VISIT if you wanted!"
"........."

Completely embarrassed thanks to this huge misunderstanding, Charlotte curies her face in her hands and turns away from us.

>>39393998

That at least was to protect people and save lives. Blood ink is a deliberate draining of someone to do something relatively mundane.
>>
>>39393998
It's less the contact with the blood itself and more the realization that someone was drained, possibly fatally, to pen that book. Death should still horrify her, even after what she's been through.

Yeah, pretty much this.

>>39394222

>>
Maybe there's a branch that can make use of someone's skills/powers by using parts of their body? It's both a means to create the book and a motive: More branch users means more powers, either on your side and available for donations, or taken out quickly and harvested while they're green.
>>
>>39394077
>>39394222
That is if the blood is drawn all at once. If the book was made over weeks/months it does not have to kill a person. Sadam Hussain himself bleed himself to force someone else to pen a copy of the Koran. Such an act is a blasphemy in Islam, but again, you can not destroy a Koran as well. I felt this is much the same situation.

"Wanna come over too, Gabrielle?" I ask, turning to my girlfriend's adorable little sister.
"Uh..." Gabrielle looks down at Shary and rolls her eyes. "I guess."

He must've said something to her... but I'm not about to pry into that.

"You sure I'm not gonna be interrupting anything?" she asks. "'cuz I know how you two make out all the time in her apartment, and-"
"Nnnnno you won't be interrupting anything!" I stammer.

I really hope she doesn't decide to join forces with Allison to double their teasing efforts.

"Guess I'll call Mina and tell her that I won't be able to come back online until tonight," Gabrielle says as she brings out her phone.

Maybe I should call Allison too...

I'd like to avoid a repeat of... -prior incidents- where I've walked into the house only to find my sister engaged in various stages of lewdness with random guys. And since I have Charlotte and Gabrielle with me today, this goes double. Or triple.

Or infinite.

While Charlotte tries to locate a taxi, I bring out my phone and give my sister a ring.

She picks up almost immediately.

"Cecile?" Allison calls out.
"Yeah," I reply. "You -do- check the number before you pick up, right?"

I thought she made that a habit after that whole business with her stalker last year.

"Yes, smartass," she groans. "I was just making sure. since it's getting late, I was wondering if Charlotte was using your phone while you were in the shower to say that you'd be spending the night or something."

...

"Dammit, I'm not THAT bad," I mutter under my breath. "anyways, I'm heading home now so I wanted to make sure you weren't getting sex all over the house like you like to do."
"IS that any way to talk to the person who takes care of your plants while -you're- off getting sex all over -Charlotte's- place?"
"......point taken."

"I'll have you know that I'm here at home all by myself," Alison says. "Fully clothed."
"Oh."
"I got a friend of mine to give me a ride home... you're not by yourself right now, are you?"
"No, I'm with Charlotte and Gabrielle," I reply. "They're coming over too."
"Great, so you're with them..." she says, breathing a a sigh of relief.

"...is something going on?" I ask. "Are you in trouble?"
"No," I'm fine," Allison replies. "It's just that there's been a string of disappearances lately and I don't want you to end up getting kidnapped again."

What?

"Disappearances..." my eyes widen. "Did this just start happening?"
"Since a few days ago," Allison replies. "I dunno what's going on, but people have been going missing and then showing up a few days later with no memory of what happened while they were gone. It's really creepy."

It sure as hell is!

"All the victims they showed on the news were hot guys so I wasn't too worried about you but then a cute girl went missing today and you know.."
"......yeah," I nod. "I, uh... I'll be sure to watch out for anything shady."

sounds similar to oathkeeper. A control branch enemy perhaps?

If so we may be screwed since overshine has no inherit defense against that style.

Never understood why control is weak against control while elemental is also weak to control. Seems like control branch users get a sweet deal.

>Never understood why control is weak against control while elemental is also weak to control. Seems like control branch users get a sweet deal.
Direct-target Control abilities don't work on other Control-type Branch holders. (Oathkeeper wouldn't affect Charlotte or Theresa at all, for example.)
Elemental abilities have theoretically unlimited growth.
Creation-type abilities can typically be strengthened with prolonged use.
Other is... Other.

"Hey Cecile, the taxi's here!" Charlotte calls out to me from inside said taxi.
"Oh- just a minute!" I say, waving at Charlotte. "Allison, I'll see you in a little bit," I say into the phone.
"Alright, stay safe," Allison replies.
"I'll try to."

After hanging up my phone, I hurry over to the taxi and scoot inside next to Charlotte. Looks like she already took care of telling the cabbie where to go, so all I'm free to relax...

...though that stuff that Allison told me about has me all worried that I'm going to have to worry about another serialkiller.

"Shary says that something's bugging Cecile," Gabrielle says, holding her stuffed cat out past her sister so that it has a good "view" of me.
"Hm?" Charlotte turns to me. "What's wrong?" she asks. "...we're not imposing, are we? Because I can always-"
"No," I shake my head. "I want you two to come over, that's not it."
"Then what -is- wrong?" Gabrielle asks, tilting Shary's head.

I reach out and Pat the plushie's soft head before leaning back in my seat.

"My sister said something about people going missing, " I say," and I can't help but be worried that this is gonna end up like it did with that serialkiller chick a few weeks back."


>[1/?]

>>39396479

"I hope this is just some regular-type weirdo doing this," Gabrielle mumbles. "I dunno if Daddy'll let me stay here if something like last time happens again."
"-That's- what you're worried about?" Charlotte asks, glaring at her sister.
"I'm sure she didn't mean it like that," I say.

Gabrielle's actually made friends with Mina and seems to like hanging out and all that, I know she doesn't want to have to leave before she's ready to just because some asshole decided to show up.

"Yeah, well..." Charlotte takes my hands in hers and looks deep into my eyes. "I'm not going anywhere, so you don't have to worry about that."
"Th... thanks..."

If Gabrielle wasn't here... and the cabbie wasn't repeatedly glancing at us through his rear-view mirror, I'd probably do something to express my gratitude right about now.

I end up having to fight lewd thoughts for the rest of the cab ride home, and before long the three of us are walking up the front steps of my house.

The cab driver is in on it. He knows we know and now he knows where we live.

>don't scare allison

She's worried about us, spooking her is just cruel.
>>
The thought to maybe make some illusions of SPOOKY GHOSTS inside the house on the other side of the door to scare Allison comes to mind, but then that stupid "conscience" thing gets in the way and I find myself feeling way too guilty to put my plan into action.

She's already worried about me as it is, scaring the hell out of her just seems unnecessarily cruel. I'll just save that for when she does something to get on my nerves.

And so, I open the door and let everyone in like a normal person would. No funny stuff allowed.

"Hey Allis-"

Before I can even finish, my sister runs into the room at top speed.

"Are you guys okay? No weirdoes tried to get you, right?" Allison asks.
"No, we're fine," I groan. "It's been a normal day so you can calm down."
"......if you say so..." she mumbles.

Immediately shifting out of panic mode, Allison flashes the widest, warmest smile she can at the two visiting sisters.

"Charlotte and Gabrielle, how've you two been?" Allison asks.
"Okay," Gabrielle replies. "We just came back from getting pizza," she says, holding up her box of leftovers.
"Ooh, it definitely smells tasty," Allison laughs. "I might be tempted to ask you to share if I hadn't just gotten done eating dinner myself.

Gabrielle seems relieved to hear that.

"You can go in inside if you want," Allison says. "Just put that box on the kitchen table or wherever's free, you don't have to keep on carrying it."
"Thanks," Gabrielle nods.

While Gabrielle scurries past her, Allison sets her sights on Charlotte.

"Nice to see you again," Charlotte says with a nervous smile. "How have you been?"
"Just fine," Allison replies with that same eerie grin on her face. "And what about you? Cecile hasn't been keeping you up on those nights that she stays over, has she?"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.

Not counting hospital bills, only a few hundred thus far. Charlotte's only really bought food for her, though that does add up over time.
