003 - Pilfered Parts And Magic

Who: Andrea Hendricks, and anyone who happens to be in Nova City.
What: "Pilfered Parts" Bounty, Andrea is on the hunt for some thieves.
When: 11.05.
Where: Nova City.
Warnings: None

[ Andrea takes to the streets of Nova City, usually in the more populated places like plazas, bars, shopping and entertainment centers. Definitely within 5 miles of where her target is reported to have been seen. She's no detective, so she did what most people would do and ask around. She waves hello and asks: ]

Hey, got a sec? I'm looking for somethin', I'll be outta your way in a bit but...

[ Holding a holographic image projected from a device on her wrist, is a hovercraft truck that's linked to the thieves. It has a flame decal on the front with purple and orange colors ]

Seen this particular truck around these parts? I know it's a long shot, but it's important.

Video/Action - Fayren

[ Flipping her sunglasses up as she parks her motorcycle at the front of Konoka's store - Mahora Fortune and Onmyoudo - Andrea gives a low whistle at the very Japanese decor as she struts in the store, activating her phone to make a network video before being briefly distracted and calling out to a clerk at the store ]

Heeeelllloooo? Anybody home? Konoka, you alive?

[ She looks around for a second, turning her attention back on her phone ]

Hey network, gonna make this quick. I'm on the lookout for people who use magic, and I'm offerin' to train with you sometime. I'm a frequent patron at the Holodeck in Nova, and I need to expand my skills and get familiarized with magic some more. Since that's pretty much everywhere in this place, gotta know how to deal with it. In exchange, I can teach you what I know. Modern infantry tactics, close-quarters combat, use of firearms. Let's talk, y'all.

Oh! The armor stuff works just by slapping it on a solid enough surface. The 'trigger' is when it's applied to that surface. Unlike an offensive magic burst, it won't hurt the user so it's alright to have it immediately activate once it sticks to a surface.

I wonder if I could make it work by just adding in a timed delay...?

Shields, mostly. Repel certain kinds of magic or supernatural creatures. I've been working on elemental resistance but it's hard to tune anything outside wind and water.

[ On the other side of the store, Andrea might find more... designer style things. Wooden ofuda meant more for home decoration, charms for good luck, and even a display of a cute doll version of Konoka herself. ]

[ The doll doesn't actually react for a moment, not until Konoka notices it. It then swivels its head to look at her...

...and disappears into an ofuda tag, just like her other spells. Depending on Andy's reaction, Konoka giggles.
]

As far as I've tested, you can only use it for one thing, but it last a while. As in, you can 'reuse' an ofuda for a task, but you can't 'repurpose' it. This is usually why protection charms can be used in cute designs and last a very long time.

[ Konoka pulls out another ofuda, and she tosses it into the air, which then turns into one of those cute mini-Konoka dolls. ]

Oh, you can make cute doll versions of yourself to spy on things. Very useful for patrols!
