MGRP Red - Chapter 2

I REALIZED THE "TYPO" IN KANA'S MAGIC WASN'T A TYPO AT ALL YOU DO ASK HER, CAUSE SHE'S THE ANSWER KNOWER SASUGA ENDOU PLAYED LIKE A FIDDLE THE OPPOSITE WAY THE LONG CON

EDIT: I am a fool v.v its just a mistake on YPs part, the JP is ambigous about who the asker is Also they forgot to update Pythie's magic it seems! Kashiki can control many crystal balls, hmmm

Alright Old Blue give me the deets
So first real Lightning deployment, makes sense
Okay okay, so... trying to parse this. Basically, there was more or less a mage factory pumping out Lightnings, artificial human (homunculus?) girls for sale, and Old Blue realizes this is essentially perfect. She doesn't have to recruit humans to make into Princesses, she can just, make more of the same girl (or, use the ones she got) and turn her into the same super princess. (these girls wouldn't have magical aptitude, but they don't need it) So then like, I take it they're all made to the same spec, hence they'd all have the same human look and personality? but then they don't like, share a mind or experiences whatsoever? just the same base personality, and the Shufflin bit just comes, in how the Princess transformation manifests? Just assign roles and power to each one once transformed? Or did she actually fuck with the way 'human' lightnings are made? Hmm. I'm at least gonna assume, not just anyone can take a Lighting gem and turn into a Lightning, and that they're specced out specifically for these artificial girls.
I guess she herself as human could just be a kind of shufflin though I mean... this is confusing hahahah
ALSO BEFORE I KEEP READING, where WAS Old Blue before she was teleported here? LL3 says she came to Pythie's estate and blended into the crowd, and they had Princesses there, but like, there's no way she had her lightning army there either yea? that's top secret (surely LL3 knows tho) and they gotta stick together, so did she just, lie she'd be there and then wait it out with the army until ranyi called her over? probably that
lol she's like ah yea, probably the real ratsumu that figures
oh fuck yea the ace of spades, I guess she only has one then? and as smart as it is to have her deal with kana, I feel like that could backfire lol
Oooh, she's gotta get in there so she can KNOW what the deal is, her magic is also, of knowing
just trying to keep it from Pythie, of course
I feel like she's kinda falling for the trap though
oooh, I didn't think about how compatible their magics would be/had been
I've said this before but Juube, Old Blue and Kana's magics are all very crazy to think about existentially, they have access to empirical truth!!
rolling back a bit, her need to know the details is interesting, I think something about how the magic reflects the user and vice verse, her magic feeds into this need and drive to see the truth of things, however misguided that might be
so once again, Pythie wants to raise and see her ideal magical girl, so her ultimate goal is control of the magical system, and as we know, an eternal life that can survive to bear witness to this magical girl. If the system is adversary to magical girls and the source of their suffering, then all the better, its what's required to get what she wants in her view. She just needs to be on top and in control to make sure it happens, and to be there when it does
Old Blue wants to separate form the Magical Kingdom (who though like, earth and people in general?) and get rid of the magical girl system. Which might could be painted as based BUT I have doubts, seeing as she doesn't really go into the WHY or what the world would look like after, I have a hard time getting a read on her, too willing to sacrifice people to get her goals to be in it for magnanimous reasons, but not quite the maniacal world domination under Princess type. Is it just cranberry trauma lol, her misguided way of preventing any more suffering.. as she causes more of it too?? what do your eyes see beyond the horizon
just, so sure of herself I'm not sure I'd wanna take either side. Pythie's is bad but in a fun way you gotta respect the hustle, the ultimate magical girl stan
but yea she's here to deny pythie, which to me feels like playing into her game
but blue has seen her true nature by now!! what does that meaaaan

aw its pythie on the subtitle not kashiki, hm
jesus she's powerful, tap tap you're dead
collarbone again, maybe they got it in multiple spots
not her style, of course, just not cute
interesting in a way how despite being for keeping the system, Pythie sees magical girls as people, its all personal to her, to a twisted degree, while old blue objectifies and makes them to be tools
ahaha she's gonna have some fun before her appointment, help out her girls and get some training in
hoooo, big fight time??

Kanaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
she has the chain yesssssssss
whiffed kick, has to be the ace
also i just realized like, of course she's be powerful, sage and all, but then that means that Bella Lace homunculus almost took her down at the end of Black! maybe if she had known her full strength she could've shaken it off and walked out lol
acquire the truth, outside of things that have yet to happen, makes sense, not a future seer
god she's so badass
figured out they're luring her away, smart girl. Also good to see, even if they did get stronger, still no match
literally just some stairs and a corridor, wow
"the puk puck" was that a typo? the puk puck faction? or just, Puk puck? lol -"that green hell" oh fuck, Veridian Green real?? ENDOU WAS THAT AFTERWORD JOKE FORESHADOWING
utter fuckup, and I guess its STILL warping space around it given what Halna said about the ruins
Also I forgot to mention but we have a second mage who died in an accident! but I guess the sacrifice was intentional this time
god this is good lore, were these three even that special then? they just so happen to be the few that survived the incident, and got defacto crowned gods, barely aware of what happened then
okay I have no idea what she means about Halna getting a cut of the energy of the formula?? I guess just, Halna is set to profit off of whatever they make of it? or is already profitting?? or maybe this is about the garden, and she's siphoning energy from the ruins for it?
haunted by the visions of what happened then, god
we're gonna get some fucking body horror aren't we
I shan't speculate on spoilers
just fucking BOOKED it hahaha bye felicia
of course, she wanted to die T.T aaaaaaaaaa, whenever she had the time, she would think about how to do it so she wouldn't be brought back
of course, she cares so much about the class aaaaaa, but to the ruins first, thats gonna be a fucking mess, everyone there all at once
well, maybe pythie will keep old blue busy so its just gonna be kana/halna (like in my unreleased fic!-)

halna time, one day I will be privy to bweepys halna thoughts
oh fuck yea yupp, she literally has a pipe to the relic????
with a little valve!
that can't end well oh god oh fuck
how'd she install it she hasn't been down there yea?? I guess, magic an invisible pipe down, why not
now here's the thing, do I picture it as a very mundane real as valve and see through mario pipe, or like, a floating magic sigil that acts as a valve, and some lifestream magic pipe? the first is funnier
yea she's human, this can't be safe for her
oooh okay, she fused homunculus with their minds AND bodies. I was wondering how she got it done so fast, and if she had to dispose of the bodies, but I guess not, just, grafted and shoved it all in one
ahh she's barley holding on, which, fair
okay she's speculating who it is but in White she does call out Pythie and Lazuline, and she should know who recommended lighting so feel like, she ought to know its R&D and that its Lazuline, but idk
"There were rats aside from Frederica and Lazuline, too. People like Calcton from the Lab, Teetz from the Puk Faction, and Juube from Magical Girl Resources might be aiming for a theft during the confusion or to profit while others were fighting. But they were a low level of threat, harm, and priority compared to the other two, so she would leave them aside for now."
Yea i feel like she already ruled them out, oh well
aha yea, shufflins are bad news, just a little dangerous eh
So hearts with group 1, diamonds with pythie, clubs at the courtyard, and spades with kana?
PSHUKE?!
WHEN did she get Pshuke and I guess that explains why she disappeared but okay sure, damn
aaa, more magic
ooo, the true base of operations
god, the lightnings are creepy, smug shufflins...
also she's thinkin about the joker too! I thought not but, you never know
USE WHAT
oh she literally had homunculi clones as bases, I guess it makes sense they had to match to fuse right
WHO'S THE FOURTH??
snow white clone??

aaa, of course she thinks about working with everyone, class comes first, even if she frames it as work
help your girl yess
also lol at the lightnings all in casual wear, thats cool, and I guess, confirmed they have the same face human too, ofc
yuri.......
hell yea she picked up some gems
mgrp chekov's guns: sword, fruit, gems
ohshit
ohgod oh fuck this one's too chill
OF COURSE ITS THE ACE
extra fucking terrifying when she can express and scheme like that jesus christ, the deapan shufflins were a blessing
god this illustration is fucking perfect holy shit
Ace of Spades like OwO
ah fuck, hostage time, of course

I...neeed...to sleep... v.v I'll stop here, writing out reactions slows me down but its fun...lotta lore this time to be fair I'll do the last two sections in the morning and edit them in here

okay back, can I just say, there is some deep deep yuri in the ace of spades of your 9 of hearts gf holding you hostage- Also, Kana mentions the sages are whats in the way of the Magical Kingdom but I am wondering...do we need the magical kingdom? hahahaha, what happens if the energy runs out?

ASMONA TIME
seriously why didn't we get a chibi T.T
so fucking badass, earned her reputation, Lazuline can't even scratch her
okay having magic candies stocked up is pretty broken but makes perfect sense, its kind of telling she never had to resort to it until now
HANA'S MAGIC??
I wonder how it works with magic effect candies, I guess, if she was up against Hana, she could've taken Hana's own self boost, but its just, that instance of her magic, and she'd be perfectly fine to reuse it on herself later
or someone with similar magic who really knows lol
oh shit she got her
THE HAT????? HELLO
IS THERE A FROG IN THERE, MAYBE A MASCOT???
OR IS IT ALIVE WHAT
WHAT
a lover's distance you say...
oh she got her to bleed!
both pretty beat up
its alive?? what is this hat, is it somehow part of her too or are they just that co-ordinated??
see, didn't she use the hat to defend herself earlier in White? does lazuline need to know her target is alive for the magic to work?..
anyways, mario odyssey
every lazuline/candidate is always comparing themselves to Old Blue, if it had been her, she'd have seen through it, etc
Oh here's the gang
Oh Ripple stopped in front of them, lol
BRENDA AND CATHERINE THEY LIVE!!!!! YESSSS
talk about awkward lol, thanks Ripple
bye bye

Snow's still having a time of it
aaa, she knows she's making Ripple sad and upset, Ripple was done with violence, she wanted to chill with her, but Snow wants to keep fighting
yuri...
aaa, fal...
"She could hear the thoughts of those in need, but not her own, so she had no idea what the truth was." AUGH aaaaaaaaaaaaaa T.T
jesus fuck this line
kinda fucking hits hard not gonna lie, she's doing all this, but can't/won't listen to her own needs
YURI
YUURRIIII
oh my fucking god
Ripple's beauty after taking her revenge lit the fire under Snow White
holy shit
always measuring herself up against Ripple
that insecurity and self hatred, it still hangs over her, that she didn't act enough back then
but ripple did, she went through hell and back
the magical girl she looks up to
AND RIPPLE LOOKS UP TO SNOW WHITE AS THE PURE MAGICAL GIRL WHO DIDN'T DIRTY HER HANDS
AAAAAAAAAAAAARGHRAGH
THE PARALLELS
I'm gonna kms

Fuck, aaa, fuck, we haven't even gotten them to meet yet and I'm already dead.
