This choice: It was a "Steamy" magazine which causes Arthur to glow • Go Back... As Claris grabbed what was in Reiji's hands, she expected to have grabbed a book on mechanical equipment and the history of the Koubu, hoping that it would give her the edge in battle. However, unbeknownst to her Reiji was actually using the mecha manual as cover for what he was actually reading. A very...sketchy magazine.
Not having time to look at what she had grabbed, Claris began to chant a magical spell before firing a quick tornado at Arthur. The young captain tried his best to dodge, but it was no use. He was not faster than the wind.
As Arthur's body began to twirl in the tornado, Claris hoped that she had won and could go back to her writing. Maybe Arthur would get so tired from spinning he would pass out? Unfortunately that didn't seem to be the case as something strange seemed to be occurring as Arthur span around.
The first oddity was that Arthur's clothes got flung around the park, while many fangirls would probably cheer over this, he was clearly still wearing *something* in there. As if his clothes had been magically replaced. The next sign that something was wrong was that Arthur's totally-not-peasently screams as he spun began to increase to a higher and higher pitch.
Eventually Arthur's torture came to an end as the tornado began to slow down, releasing him, or rather, her...
Standing where Arthur was, scratch that, laying on the ground trying not to puke where Arthur was, was a woman wearing some, less than covering yellow lingere. "Good god, Claris, what were you thinking?"
Claris for her part was standing mouth agape, finally looking down at the magazine she had grabbed from Reiji and used on Arthur...she instinctively threw it on the ground in disgust and stomped on it.
"Nooo! My precious!!!!" Reiji cried in anguish as he followed the magazine to the ground, hoping it wasn't as tarnished as it now looked.
Rushing over to Arthur, Claris let out a "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?!"
"Huh, What're you talking about Claris? Is something wrong?" Arthur began to pick himself off the ground, seemingly not aware that anything had happened to him?
"I'm so sorry Arthur, I didn't mean to turn you into this!" Claris continued to apologize as she racked her brain for a way to fix this.
"Huh? Are you feeling okay Claris, you know my name's Ashley." Arthur just blinked in confusion.
"Claris! You owe me a new-" Reiji was about to demand Claris buy him a new magazine when he suddenly saw the new 'Arthur'. Comparing Arthur's current body to one of the models in his ruined magazine, Reiji seemed to instantly understand what happened. "Claris, you're a genius! Quick, do it to Seijuro too!"
"Ah, are you the photographer?" Arthur asked Reiji. "I was told there would be an important shoot here today, but I can't find the crew, only thing I see is people fighting."
"Wait, do you not know who you are?" Reiji asked at first before he realized opportunity had arisen. He did in fact bring a camera to help take records of this training exercise! "I mean, yeah, I'm the photographer! We can start at any time."
"Make sure you get my good side." The new Arthur said with a wink.
As Arthur began to make suggestive poses and Reiji nearly fainted as he took pictures, Claris was still completely panicking. How could she fix this?! That was when an idea popped into her mind, Arthur's fanclubs had written plenty of biographies about him! If she just grabbed one of those and tries the same spell then maybe that would fix him!
"Reiji, I'm going to the Libray! Make sure Arthur doesn't leave the park!" Claris shouted as she ran off. As she left, she couldn't help but take note that none of the other people in the park had noticed Arthur's transformation. They were all too preoccupied with their own battles to look at him.
Reaching the library, Claris began to scan the shelves and almost instantly found a good biography on Arthur to use as the catalyst for the next spell. As she checked out the book, Claris couldn't help but begin to get...curious.
Claris really didn't want to go back to the current training exercise. Tokyo had been at peace for a while now and she disliked the fighting. After using the spell on Arthur he didn't seem to care or remember the training exercise at all.
Maybe she could make some...more adjustments to the people in the park. Just to help them relax and enjoy this current peace like her, and when it was an appropriate time she could turn them back using written works about the Flower Division and others.
Thinking it over, Claris chose to...   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
