Overview Text Transcript

Finally got something new this time. Let's do the usual checkup.

Paige Elizabeth Turner​

Height: 5' 6" Weight: 134 lb. Age:

Species: Human Origin: Earth Branch: ??? Crossroads α

Pronouns: She/They Gender: Woman Occupation: Vagabond

It's funny. You know, there are some experiences that come once in a lifetime. The kind so dramatic, you'll never experience something so bizarre again. But here I am. Going through it a second time.

I was just kickin' back, as would any 18 year old- give or take. But instead of waking up in my bed, I'm on some floating island high above the sea, and there's a high-tech city up ahead.

Honestly, I wish I were more excited. It's a cool place I found myself in. Haven't seen something this wild in a while. But what does it matter? Nothing's on my level anymore. It'll get boring eventually, like it always does. Nothing ever changes, in the end.

Whatever. I'm not gonna turn down an alternate reality. It'll be fun, for a while. Maybe I'll take the old man's advice, and see it through until my body fails? I got all the time in the world, after all.

Look alive, Paige. The book is in your hands.

Description Text Transcript

I look about like this these days. Same orange hoodie. Same blue jeans. Same ball cap. Same book.

For future reference, I'd say I'm a Chaotic Orchestrator.

People can't beat me down if they tried. I like to keep track of the battlefield, and focus on a lot of moving parts at any given time. Got a lot of experience by now. It is not too difficult for me to adapt, and I try to keep melee and ranged options open at all times.

People always seem thrown off by my attitude. They don't get it. That's fine by me though, but I should at least give myself a frame of reference.

I don't really care about that much, I guess. As mellow as I've always been. I engage with the world around me as best I can, have fun and all. I try to get excited about stuff. It all feels so distant, though. Sometimes, the only way for me to feel like I'm part of the world I'm in is to mess with it a bit.

Still don't care about dying, it doesn't mean anything. Fighting's still my go to, to feel alive. Adrenaline, and all.

I'm kinda tired of it all, honestly. But it's not like I can do much about it. I just wish I could see people as people again. But they all go back to how they used to be, in the end. At least my apathy helps me make the wretched ones suffer, as they deserve.

Gotta remember to do these check-ups, lest I forget. Again. Painfully.

Tempomancy

Tempomancy Text Transcript

I've recently developed some new... abilities, I suppose. They allow me to manipulate things related to time, though I'm not entirely certain how. I've never had them before arriving to this "Crossroads", but regardless, I should jot down whatever I can for future reference.

- - -
[ Weak Force ]
An object in motion stays in motion.

This ability allows me to move significantly faster. In doing so, I apply more force whenever I come into contact with something. That means I can move heavier objects, or move lighter objects more easily. That said, I best be careful not to break anything by accident, as a result.

When I use this move, my perception slows down as well- it feels like the whole world around me slows down. In reality, I'm moving fast- it just looks the other way around to me. It's curious. I find it amusing, to imagine how it looks to others.

The only caveat is that this move wears me out when I use it. Right now, I can't use it for more than twenty seconds straight before breaking into a sweat. That makes it tricky for me to use it long-term...

Speed IV + Ongoing - Side Effect: Tiring

Move Object IV - Side Effect: Tiring

Bats and Clubs

Bats & Clubs Text Transcript

Let's take stock of my bats. I'll use a similar system to the one I use for my skills, so I can gauge their potential.

[ Baseball Bat ]
If you swing at the king, you better not miss.

A genuine maple swatter of my own design. It's about 3 feet, perfect for my height, and emblazoned with the CHRONIC BATTERY logo.

Yo-Yos

Yo-Yos Text Transcript

Now, for my yo-yos.

[ Sports-Grade Yo-yo ]
Ready to kick some ass.

I still try to keep up with yo-yo battles, even now. Got me a 10 foot string, and it's not tied at the axle either. I can wrap it around my finger to vary the length for tricks, and then send it flying at whoever I'm fighting.

It's a pretty weak weapon, unlike others I've used. Obviously. Could you imagine casually fighting in the street with a legitimate weapon?

It's still useful for restraining opponents. I can hold them in place, trip them up, or tie them to something. Also useful as a makeshift grappling hook, as long as I can get it caught on something. Long poles, hooks, or even someone just grabbing onto it.

I do have to concentrate when I'm doing tricks. As long as I'm in the groove, and have the hands for it, I can do something else at the same time. But if someone breaks my focus, the trick I was doing will be ruined.

DON'T FORGET TO REPLACE THE STRING. It's good for several fights, but tying up the competition with it wears it out faster. I should remember to bring string with me, whenever I go out.

- EFFECTS -

Damage I + Indirect​ + Transferable​ - Removable​ - Concentration​ - Finite​

Debuff III: Restraint + Indirect​ + Ongoing​ - Removable​ - Concentration​ - Finite​

Movement: Swinging + Indirect​ - Limited​ - Removable​ - Finite​

Ranged Weapons

Ranged Text Transcript

I always did like a nice revolver.

[ Revolver ]
Never leave home without it.

It's my favorite. A six-shot revolver, with a polished silver barrel and a mahogany handle shined to a T. It packs a punch, too.

The chamber takes time to pop out and empty. I can reload a single bullet in one second, or all six in three.

Damage IV + Ranged​ + Transferable​ - Finite​ - Removable​

Miscellaneous Items

Misc. Text Transcript

Now for all the miscellaneous stuff.

[ Cell Phone ]
Damn, I really need to update my voicemail message.

Flip phones are too satisfying to trade them out for the bricks that'd get popular in the future, so I opted to modify one where both screens are touch interfaces. Has most phone features. Calling, texting, apps, internet, the whole shebang.

[ Swiss Army Knife ]
Beats hauling a toolbox everywhere.
It's nothing special, just an extra large army knife. Fully retracted, it's about 4 inches lonh. The tools it has on it include:

4-inch blade​

Wood saw​

Gutting blade​

Reamer​

Screwdrivers​

Bottle opener​

Can opener​

Corkscrew​

Pliers​

Tweezers​

File​

Refillable pen​

Wire cutters​

Wire stripper​

Several sizes of screwdrivers. All the blades are equally useful for shik-shiking any creep that tries to jump me.

Inventory managed, let's go into relationship status for this branch.

[ Chron Horol ]
What a debonair dandy, this guy looks to be. I wonder what his story is?

Chron's History

~ Dante's Abyss ~

Contestent #37​

20th Place in Dante's Abyss 2024.​

Having arrived late, his quoted reason for entering was to be "fodder for the slaughter." Started with mere taco bell sauce, before finding unlikely companions in the clumsy gungan Jar Jar Binks, and the meticulous leader John Connor. The bell tolled for Chron after a bizarre run in with a strange typewriter, and a ruthless 5v1 versus the fused monstrosity of Gilgamesh and Erik Vrell.​

Claude Frollo

Frollo Text Transcript

[ Claude Frollo ]​

Residence: City of Hope Opealon​

Origin:​

The Archdeacon of Notre Prophéte, a large cathedral located in the City of Hope's central hub district. It's a place to generally worship the man Cornsto Comstock, though Frollo himself seems to be of a Christian denomination. Apparently, that makes him a rare breed in the Crossroads.

He thinks himself a pious man, devout and virtuous. Takes his role as archdeacon very seriously, inviting newcomers to the cathedral and educating them on the city founder and his faux-religious nature. To some degree, he seems to mean well; he offered me a home, when he heard I was new to this alternate reality.

But I know a sinner when I see one. Frollo has... let's call it a "restrained experience with women." Seems to be a sore spot, in part due to his piety, but I bet there's something deeper going on there. Either way, it makes him easier to exploit, but I get the sense that I shouldn't fuck around too much. Ones like him tend to get weird about it, after a while.

Frollo's History

~ Introduction ~

Met Paige within the walls of Notré Prophéte, and assisted her in performing a baptism-like ritual called a "suscitation". Leads to tension, as he mistakes her for a boy and tells her to undress for the ritual. Brings the catboy Oliver to her chamber, at her request.​
