Training to use Charms - Currently Product Testing

[3kul]

((Ok, I'm not entirely sure how this will work out, but I'd still like to try. Basically, the aim of this thread is for me to see how other people would use charms - I'd like to see which ones you'd use more, and how you would use them, and in this way I can best decide what kinds of charms I should next stock in the Inconvenience Store.

Since I have an alternative motive for this thread, I'll try to sweeten the deal a little - those who do post in this thread have unlimited* use of charms, and to start with, we'll only be using the ones described in my Store thread. So basically, no post limits to worry about, and no need to worry about running out of charms.))

HollowEyes walked into an unused room and set several small pouches down on the floor next to the door. Each pouch was crammed with the enchanted pieces of paper, yet not so much so that it wasn't easy to access them.

~Are you sure that this is a valuable use of our time?~ Little Sister queried, standing at the far end of the room. HollowEyes nodded. "Yes. If we plan on distributing charms to people, we may as well see which ones they'd do well with." Little Sister cocked her head to one side, contemplating how this would be useful. ~I suppose it's also a good way to maximise profit as well...~

HollowEyes sighed, unable to understand why they thought so differently despite the fact that they shared a mind between them. He opened the door and stuck a notice on it, which outlined the rules for this practice:

[Netdroid9]

*Net opens a pouch and selects a Charm of the Vexing Fox. He then grabs ten Charms of the Demonic Squid and applies them to his new wolverine-style claws, hoping that they'll then be able to inject poisonous ink into people or something cool like that.*

((Your choice 3kul ))

[LordPsycho]

((What? They can't use the Charm of Sanity? Or Turncoat? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE...I'll start selling charms of my design! That's what I'll do!))

[Vromoth]

*Vromoth gets two "Charm of the Petrified Beetle Sample" and was about to rub one on himself to see what it was like when he saw Net and thought it would look better on him*

[3kul]

((Net: Sorry, but since the ink isn't usually poisonous, it wouldn't become poisonous in this case. I guess you could still inject it into wounds/the opponent's body, but I'm not sure how this could help. It might screw with people's healing processes and the like, or really screw up someone if they're a robot of some kind, but I can't think of much else that it would do. For future reference though, you wouldn't need a charm for each finger, just one for each hand.

However, a poison charm might not be a bad idea, I'll have to see what I can think of...

DP: Yep, sorry, but this thread is only for my charms, and yours might be a little difficult to practice with

Vromoth: You don't rub them on yourself, you stick them on yourself . Also, with charms you have to specify where you plan on sticking them (arm, leg, head, torso, etc), as they'll generally only affect a single limb.))

[Leporidae]

*Places a Charm of the Petrified Beetle on her body, and it turns into stone* WHEEEHEHE! *Places Charm of the Demonic Squid on her tail* Muhahahaha! *Starts running round the room with her stone body and her tail creating ink* This is fun!

[Vromoth]

If only you had told me about this before the olympics.

[Netdroid9]

*Ink dribbles out of Net's claws, turning them black at the tips.*

...Meh, looks cool though. And I'll never run out of ink for my refillable ball-point pen. Now, let's see... Petrification charms?

*Net applies two to his arms and practices using them to block.*

Nice. Let's test them...

*Net lunges at Little Sister.*

[3kul]

((Why is that Vromoth? I don't sell my items on Al's forums, so it'd be a little unfair in the individual tournament for some people to have access to my items whilst others don't. The team tourney on the other hand... ))

As Net lunges, the ink sprays across the room from his stony claws. Little Sister manages to block this by bunching her hair together across her body, but the ink has made her hair sticky, and she's unable to tighten it or weave it like she usually is. Instead, she decided to dodge aside, taking advantage of the fact that Net's movements were slightly slower due to the newly added weight that he has to carry.

~Ugh, this ink takes forever to get out...~ Angrily, she swipes across at Net with a large amount of ink-soaked hair.

((Just so you know, the ink itself in liquid form would be reasonably sticky so that people can't just wipe it from their eyes.))

[Vromoth]

((I would have been aball to be stone like Blackfoot.))

[Netdroid9]

...Hmm... Not as cool as I'd hoped, but still... I hear Parasitian tounges are highly valued by Psychotopian Alchemists, Little Sister. It's about time I made a profit out of this.

*Net lunges at Little Sister again and again, hoping to corner her against a seemling empty weapons rack.*

[3kul]

Little Sister hits against the rack, and decides to switch to the offense. She spreads out a large amount of inky hair in front of her, and began to close it together, aiming to entangle Net in the sticky, web-like mess.

[Netdroid9]

*Net struggles tofend of Little Sister and is forced backwards, giving her more freedom to move. Thinking fast, he grabs his BFG and shoots at her hair, hoping that the Ink is flamable.*

((If the ink is flamable, how about a 'Aura of Fire' charm?))

[3kul]

((Hey Net, re-read the rules :

[Somefreakoverthere]

hmm..*she morphs to her demon form and sticks one Charm of the Vexing Fox on each hand,and slashs hr extended claws about.*

Sweet.three inches long-a nice size.oh well,they won't last forever...
*she grins and starts slashing at a wall,leaving a claw mark on it that instantly repairs itself.*
this is too cool.*she grins and starts chewing on a lump of raw meat,cutting it up with her claws to a managable size((about the size of a remote controll)).*
