4: Deep CR - When you've known each other for a while, and it's time to reveal your deepest secrets, startling confessions, and tragic pasts.
5: Sky Diving - You either just jumped out of a plane or are about to. Hope you both brought a parachute.
6: Resort - White sand beaches, blue waters, cool drinks, relaxation. Possibly Bond-esque intrigue? I don't know. It's late and I'm tired.
7: Doomed Last Stand - You're all going to die. Make them speak your name in fearful whispers for centuries.
8: Canon fusion AU - Both canons are crammed together into some kind of horrible abomination. Or just one of you is crammed into the other's canon.

Kohaku 5 (sort of)

[strongestimouto]

[Kohaku and Ako, standing atop the Aegis Academy outer wall. Beneath them, a 500+ foot drop leading to the cityscape below.

No parachutes.]

OK, the trick is to try and kick off the wall as close to the ground as you can so you hit it horizontally instead of straight on.

[haremtrap]

[Kohaku peers over the edge nervously, then looks back at Ako.

She does not ask of Ako is joking.]

I'm like 95% sure this is going to get me killed.

[strongestimouto]

Are you a Host or aren't you? Even if you mess up, your powers should at least keep you alive long enough to drag you over to a hospital.

[haremtrap]

Okay fine, I'm 95% sure this will grievously injure me.

[strongestimouto]

Then bet on that last 5%, and emerge from the experience stronger than ever before! It's the Yuhara way!

[citation needed]

[haremtrap]

If I don't you're going to kick me off anyways, aren't you?

[strongestimouto]

I have too much faith in your courage to wonder about what I'll do if you back down.

[haremtrap]

[She backs away and closes her eyes. Deep breaths. Get hype. she can...theoretically do this.

Give her a minute...]

[strongestimouto]

[Two forces are at odds within Ako. As a teacher, she wants to let Kohaku have this moment uninterrupted to focus and discover new untapped levels of potential. As Ako, she's getting bored and wants to throw her off the edge just to keep things moving.






She'll give her ten more seconds.]

[haremtrap]

Hrrrrrn...

[Jumping up and down in place.]

You know I only have normal human levels of strength and speed, right?

[strongestimouto]

So do I. Do you want me to jump first?

[haremtrap]

Um.

[Well, theoretically if she's at the bottom, she can catch you.]

Yes.

[strongestimouto]

HUP

[And there she goes. Ako leaps off the edge unhesitatingly, plunging towards the streets below.

Several seconds later, she angles herself back towards the wall, and starts running along it as she descends. A couple stories from the streets, she kicks off it hard enough to shatter a couple windows, and the rest would be smooth sailing except for the part where she smashes into a parked car.

A few seconds later, Ako staggers to her feet amidst the sound of car alarms, and flashes a thumbs up back towards Kohaku.]

[haremtrap]

[Yup there she goes. That's far enough down that anyone without superhuman senses wouldn't be able to see the thumbs up at all. Fortunately, this is not a problem for Kohaku]

Ooooookaaaay....

[There's like another minute of psyching herself up, but eventually, she does do it. While screaming. She's at least keeping herself close to the side of the building.

Somehow...]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

[strongestimouto]

[WOOO THERE SHE GO

Is she gonna make it?

She's probably gonna make it.

No point going for a rescue unless it looks like she's gonna die or something.]

[haremtrap]

[On one hand, she is NOT going to do it perfectly the first time, which would lead to a Kohaku pancake if she landed in the same place Ako did. She managed the kick off, but her angle was WAY too shallow.

On the other hand, she has a bit more of a sense of self-preservation and is better at planning ahead than her sister. She had aimed for an ornamental pond instead of the middle of the street.]

SHIIIIIIIIIT.

[strongestimouto]

[Whoof, that wasn't a big enough kick by a longshot. Still, her heart was in the right place...

Time for a little boost, then! Ako dashes into position, around where Kohaku's en route to hit ground. Then, at the last possible moment, she delivers a swift kick to redirect Kohaku's trajectory back towards the pond.]

[haremtrap]

[Kersplash! Kohaku didn't die!

Which is not the same thing as being okay. Especially when you're floating face down in a pond.]

[strongestimouto]

[Ako ambles on over and pulls Kohaku out of the pond. It'd suck if she drowned after all that.]

Not bad for a first try! Rejoice, for you have grown stronger once again.

[haremtrap]

You're-

[cough hack hack cough couh.]

uhhgh...You're as insane as ever. I can't believe I'm alive.

Leona

[blackparagon]

[How about her and Xander watching a tournament? Xander is a king, so he has the influence to make it happen, and Leona could be some kind of honored guest.]

[zenithguard]

[So may it be. Leona can be ruthlessly critical of all the fighters' technique.

Look it's not HER fault they didn't spend their entire childhood training for war.]

[blackparagon]

[Nohr is a land covered in heavy clouds, and the sun seldom shines through there. As a result, the sky appears to be caught in a perpetual twilight. Surely that would intrigue even the least devoted of the Solari.

Fortunately, though the common folk were often rough, the royal family was well up to the task of governing the land responsibly and benevolently. The young king in particular was determined to bring authoritative law and order to his kingdom.

However, Xander is also hospitable. He wants to keep his guests, even just one, entertained. Thus, he organized a tournament. Men and women across the land were invited to participate and show off their martial and/or magical prowess.

The king, his three siblings, and their guest had their own special box from which to watch the action. Once they were all assembled, the first round began. The first pit two swordsmen against each other. Both were mercenaries working in the border regions, taking jobs from local villages to drive off bandits. The fight begins, and their swords clash.]

[zenithguard]

[The sky here made her nervous. It wasn't right, going for days on end without seeing the sun. She had to actively try to not glow in response to the endless dim light.

Maybe this arena match would distract her from the gloom.]

It was quite kind of you to arrange all this, just for me.

[blackparagon]

Visitors who have traveled as far as you have are incredibly rare. In addition, this also benefits the common people. Honestly, Nohr could do with more reasons to celebrate -- we've had very little for a long time.

[Once the pre-match routine has concluded, the match begins. The two mercenaries appear to be evenly matched. They're experienced, but they're far from being experts of their craft.]

[zenithguard]

Nothing to get the blood pumping like a display of martial skill.

[Or so she thought. She watched them for a while with interest, but as their comparative lack of skill became obvious, her attention started to want to wander.]

These are clowns, right? The actual warriors will come out after one of them drops a bucket of white wash down the other's pants?

[blackparagon]

What?

[Xander glances over at Leona, clearly surprised.]

No, this is the first round of the tournament. I know these two are far from the best, but it's only the first round. We're likely to see some competitors who stand no chance at winning until the herd is thinned down more.

[zenithguard]

I'm tempted to go down there myself and show them how to hold a sword properly.

[She cut herself off at that, though. Being polite to foreign dignitaries was not something that came naturally to her, and she had to tread carefully here.]

I'm sure they're not the best Nohr has to offer, though...

[blackparagon]

[Xander shakes his head, gaze remaining on the battle.]

Far from it. These two pale in comparison to our top officers and royal retainers. Even our service staff are well-trained.

[zenithguard]

I should hope so, or you country would have been long since conquered.

And how does the royal family fit into this hierarchy of martial prowess?

[Do you even lift, Xander?]

[blackparagon]

To be frank, we had to be strong. Nohr had been at war with the neighboring kingdom of Hoshido for the better part of a decade. Hostilities only ended roughly a year ago.

[Xander steals a glance at his two sisters and his brother.]

You would be hard pressed to find greater warriors among the realms than us. Personally speaking, I made it a standard to lead my men from the front. I would not ask others to do so, but I find no better place for my own talents than fighting alongside my men in the thick of battle.

[zenithguard]

Any proper commander SHOULD lead from the front.

[So she approved of this.]

Tell me, does the royal family ever participate in these tournaments?

[blackparagon]

I'm afraid we haven't had any tournaments in a long time. The nation was too embroiled in war to participate in such demonstrations of skill with any kind of reasonable frequency.

But to answer your question, it is well within the rules to do so. However, it has not been done in my lifetime.
