I will become God-Harem King of the World! [Highschool DxD/Exalted] (CLOSED)

BFldyq · Mar 22, 2014

I've been thinking: would the Evil Pieces even work on us? The "cost" of someone is determined by their current power, and their potential. As a Solar, our potential is limitless. I can just Issei agreeing to join her peerage, only for the Evil Pieces to go "DOES NOT COMPUTE" and refuse to change him.

Still, I'm wondering if we'll ever have a good enough relationship with Rias and her peerage that we tell them to truth. I wonder what their reaction would(will) be to finding out that Issei has both a Longinus, and a Longinus-equivalent from an unknown world.

Day 7

Despite the chaos of the past days, the week comes to an end peacefully.

You met interesting people and made new friends.

You studied, trained, suffered and in general pushed yourself beyond limits you didn't know you have.

Everything is just so...simple. You are sure no one should be able to learn at your pace. Does being an Exalt change so much?

Nonetheless, you finally reap the fruits of your hardships.

And what a fruit they are.

Issei gained:

Linguistics: O (Indo-European Language Family)

Linguistics (Intelligence): 6/30 days, 0/2 months

-2 Xp

Occult: O

Occult (Intelligence): 3/30 days, 0/2 months
Occult (Wits): 3/30 days, 0/3 months

-1Xp

Issei Gained:

Adamant Skin Technique
Cost: 8m;
Mins: Resistance 5, Essence 3;
Type: Reflexive (Step 7)
Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Spirit Strengthens the Skin, Iron Skin Concentration
Driven by her purpose and her Virtues, the Exalt becomes invincible. The Solar invokes this Charm immediately before the damage of a physical attack or similar effect is rolled. This Charm is a perfect defense against the raw damage of the attack, reducing it to zero after all other effects. As a point of clarification, this Charm (and its Abyssal Mirror Wounds Mean Nothing) reduces the raw and final damage of an incoming attack or similar phenomenon to zero after all other modifiers and effects. Damage added to an attack after soak is applied, such as by Fire and Stones Strike, cannot harm a character who activates Adamant Skin Technique.
Conviction Flaw: Charms carrying this Flaw do not function when the character has taken some action during the scene that is contrary to her Motivation. If, during the scene, she has acted against any Intimacy, or a Virtue she has rated at 3+, then Charms with this Flaw add a +3m surcharge to their activation cost.

AST (Stamina): 5/30 days, 0/2 months

-8 Xp

Irresistible Salesman Spirit
Cost: 3m;
Mins: Presence 4, Essence 2;
Type: Supplemental
Keywords: Combo-Basic, Social
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Any Presence Excellency
The glamour of the Lawgivers inspires others to dream of glorious things. This makes the Solars the ultimate salesmen and recruiters. Irresistible Salesman Spirit enhances a Presence-based roll to exert mental influence and make a favorable bargain or encourage a specific action. This Charm doubles the Solar's successes on the roll before comparing them to the target's MDV.

ISS (Charisma): 4/30 days, 0/2 months

-8 Xp

[X] Spend some time with the Occult Research Club

ORC (Socialize): 1/6 days
ORC (Charisma): 1/30 days, 0/2 months

School (Intelligence): 8/30 days, 0/2 months

Training Days I: Completed!

+4 Xp for honing your abilities without rest
+1 Xp for having opened many new options
+5 Xp for completing the training

You're on your way home after the regular club activity ended.

"It's already been a week, uh...?" You exhale while walking at the top of a fence like in Ranma 1/2. Why? To see if you can of course. You may be better at magic, but martial arts are just too cool to pass off. Beside, a Kung-fu Wizard is better than a Squishy Wizard, right?

Never mind the stares from the people walking in the street below.

[Feeling restless partner?] Ask Ddriag, your Dragon partner.

'A little. Since the attack from that male Fallen Angel there hasn't been news of Yuuma, I mean Raynare. It would be great if they gave up on me, but I have the feeling it's just the calm before the storm.'

[Possible, possible. My advice is: keep your guard up and, if they dare show up again, show them why it's unwise to mess with a Dragon.]

You chuckle. 'You're so hot-blooded. Are Dragons really like that?'

[More of less. Domination is in our nature, even if we suppress it, it will just show up later. So going all out once in awhile isn't bad.]

'Once in a while, uh? I can dig that.' You grin. When the fence ends you jump down. 'Where is Bright?'

[Closed inside her laboratory, doing Great Red only know. I swear I saw a robot walking around. A robot.]

...Ominous. That is not nice, but neither is Bright-sensei.

"Hawaau!"

Hmm? A sudden voice. At the same time you heard the voice from behind you, there is also a sound of something dropping on the ground.

When you turned around there is a Sister, a Catholic Nun, on the floor. She is spreading her arms wide open and has her face on the ground. That's certainly a clumsy way of falling down.

"Are you okay?"

You approach the Sister and give her your hand so she can stand up.

"Auu. Why do I keep on tripping over... Oh, I'm sorry. Thank you very much~."

'Judging from her voice, she is young. Is she the same age as me?' You take her hand to lift her up. As she stands up the Sister's veil flies off because of the wind.

Her blonde hair, which was hidden underneath, falls down onto her shoulders sparkling with light because of the sunshine.

—!

Your heart is taken by her instantly.

A blonde, foreign beauty is standing front of you. Both of her green eyes look so beautiful that it feels you will be sucked into them if you stare too long.

She looks exactly like your ideal girl (Blonde beauty version)! 'Is this is a flag!?' You're thinking something selfish like that.

[No, it's a Nun].

'...Ddraig, later remember me to explain to you what [Tsukkomi] means.'

Still, you need to say something or she will think you're strange.

[] Write-in.

Plan of action:

1) Give Ruby a call and see if she's anywhere nearby. Introduce them so Asia has a friend besides you.
2) Asia will most likely be forced to accompany Raynare's posse when they inevitably come after you. Summon Rias and friends and fight them head-on. Secure Asia in the confusion of the fight. Call Ruby too if necessary, she'll most likely bring Yang with her.
3) If all else fails, grab her and turtle up in the Occult club, that place is a fortress of rune work and Raynare would be crazy to attack Rias on her home turf.

Sometimes, you've gotta go for the story and IC reaction more than how to game the quest.

Plus, this seems amusing.

I would prefer a response that isn't going to make her back away slowly and then bolt at the first opening. Turn down the creep-o-meter please.

Heaven Canceler · Mar 22, 2014

It is unlikely that Raynare would even attack us. Remember, she is still badly hurt and another member of her group is also full with bandages.

Should we try to flirt with Asia and overdo it horribly? Issei doesn't have much confidence in his skills with females even with his dreams, so maybe he would even use a charm to make up for that. Would the Irresistible Salesman Spirit technique work for an attempt to flirt with her?

If yes.

[X] "Ah, sorry I got distracted because you are too cute..... Wah! I am sorry, not that you are not cute or anything, but!" You panik for a short while, but then you manage to calm down. You ask her what she is doing in the city and if you can help her after introducing yourself.
- [X] That was so embarrassing just now. Trying to talk with someone is hard enough without it being a cute girl. Maybe that Charm you managed to learn recently would help? Use Irresistible Salesman Spirit while flirting with the nun and offer to show her the city.
-- [X] During the tour, call Ruby and ask her whether she and Yang want to join us for a day out. Tell them we have found a newcomer to the city and want her to have a nice first day here.

Besides flirting with her we could offer to show her around the city. Then we call Ruby to join us and maybe get to meet Yang and make a day on the town out of it.

It's my favorite harem series. I've read most of the novels up to about volume 14 or so. Asia isn't so sheltered and naive that she wouldn't be weirded out by someone proposing to her out of the blue.

Heaven Canceler said:

Yeah, this works. Better check first to make sure Ruby and Yang speak English, I assumed so because of their heritage but it's better to be sure.

John At Dawn · Mar 22, 2014

I don't know man, for a nun, she sure seemed quick to join the "we want Ise's dick" club. Especially that scene after Rias moves in and she finds her and Ise in bed, with Rias naked, then tries to join in. Unless that scene was just in the manga.

Just how repressed is she?

If you have, then I have no idea why you'd think that. Asia is exactly like that - she wouldn't be 'creeped out' by anything short of attempted assault. And it's not like the statement's particularly creepy in context - the whole 'guy's struck dumb by the girl in front of me, says something stupid' bit is fairly prevalent in shows. I think this exact line was actually used by Ross in Friends.

But, since you apparently find it too wrong ...

[X] "... Marry me."
-[X] Immediately after that: "I-I mean, are you alright? Do you need help?"
--[X] Engage her in a conversation - who she is, what she's doing here, the basics. This is an opportunity to get to know the girl of your dreams - don't waste it!
---[X] Offer to treat her, use Irresistible Salesman Spirit to bolster your offer. Give it all you've got!

On the one hand you have a person who's saved her life, been the best friend she's ever had, and essentially adopted her and completely turned her life around in the space of a few days.

On the other is a person she has quite literally just met.

There is a rather substantial difference in status between the two.

[X] Flow with Canon events when meeting with Asia for the first time.

There are times when one has to deviate from canon. Right now this is not one of them. Do we really have to waste a Charm here?

Eh. She was rather considerate and understanding even before all that, and she liked Issei before he did any of that, even with his social skills.

See, this is much better. It's just missing Ruby and Yang.

Why are we calling Ruby and Yang out when we're focusing on Asia? That makes no sense.

I mean, if she mentioned something about not having any friends, then yeah, I could see it. Right now, though, Issei should be focused on the girl in front of him, not involving random people he's just met. It makes more sense to call Rias than it does to call Ruby and Yang - we've known her longer.

Good, because she will. She's new in town and doesn't speak Japanese, remember? Helping her hook up with our friends is a great way to help her get settled and also score potential girlfriend points. Asia needs as many English-speaking friends as she can get, this is not a difficult conclusion for Issei to come to. Introducing her to Rias would be a good idea if only it weren't for that pesky little nun vs devil thing to worry about.

Dimensionist · Mar 22, 2014

Out and out coming to that conclusion without in-universe prompting doesn't work for me, however. I guess I'll do this:

[X] "... Marry me."
-[X] Immediately after that: "I-I mean, are you alright? Do you need help?"
--[X] Engage her in a conversation - who she is, what she's doing here, the basics. This is an opportunity to get to know the girl of your dreams - don't waste it!
---[X] Offer to treat her, use Irresistible Salesman Spirit to bolster your offer. Give it all you've got!
----[X] Try and make her enjoy her time with you. If she's lonely, call in some friends (preferably Ruby and Yang). If she's lost, guide her. If she seems to have trouble with understanding something (she seems a bit sheltered), be sure to explain things to her. Be there for her - that's the least you, Hyodou Issei, gentleman extraordinaire, can do!

Smuthunter · Mar 22, 2014

And at this point the two primary options are essentially the same save for dialogue options. You want to call this one, Alex?

BFldyq · Mar 22, 2014

Here's a good compromise:
[X] "... Marry me." In Japanese.
-[X] Immediately after that: "I-I mean, are you alright? Do you need help?" In Italian. Wait, when did you learn Italian?!?

Different intent behind each option, and my vote has some additional details and actions involved - namely, offering to treat her to some food, offering to answer any questions she has about how things work, trying to get to know her, etc.
