WHO LIKES HOT BLOOD I LIKE HOT BLOOD

[sun_sun]

Hello! Prof, player of Chris Okabe and Sara Kirisame, here with character number three. I had a lunatic and a hipster, but no doofus!

This was once Akane Hino from Smile Precure. A hot-blooded Osakan Volleyball player slash chef who lives a secret double life as Cure Sunny, explosion-flinging magical girl who transforms by setting her fist on fire and punching herself in the heart.

She is now Annabelle Cino, a.k.a. Annie, a 9th-grader from New York whose dad runs an italian restaurant that's named after her. She's been in town for about five years, so I am all kinds of up for establishing pre-existing CR with the high school or middle school characters or teachers. Also, her mom is a middle school teacher, so that could be another CR point? Who knows! Let's talk about ideas!

As always, feel free to hit me up on plurk at ProfessorProf or at her plotting/permissions post.

IC intro incoming in mere minutes.

Well clearly her mom needs to be one of this grumpy kid's teachers, then!

[sun_sun]

Did someone call for some FIRE AND ICE RIVAL CR

[icy_heavens]

Ugh, fire. Get it away! Sure, why not? Debatable how much he'll actually care, but semi-one-sided rivalries are fun!

[part_time_overlord]

This sounds suspiciously like HERO TALK. Your doom shall be swift and painful.

[sun_sun]

Bitch please I've already fought multiple evil emperors in my past life

[part_time_overlord]

Foolish hero! What kind of evil overlord would I be if I let past failures have any influence on my behavior!?

[sun_sun]

I hope you're ready for me to use the word "hope" in five consecutive sentences!

[part_time_overlord]

If you absolutely must.

MIDDLE SCHOOL CHARACTERS YOU SAY

Hi, have a middle school bus driver.

[sun_sun]

Yes, we spoke briefly on plurk!

Annie is totally the kind of person to remember her middle school bus driver and be super pumped to talk to him again.

[italktofish]

Yeah, I know we did but I felt like saying hi again anyway. 8D

And he'll be excited to see her, too! It's always nice to know the kids are getting where they need to go even when he's not driving.

[stop_hamerutime]

I need to hurry up with certain plans.

[testsonseashells]

hey hot blood/doesn't it feel/like our time is running out

[sun_sun]

HOT BLOODED
check it and see
I'VE GOT A FEVER
of a hundred and three

[testsonseashells]

i don't actually know any music

except for like one or two songs per band

[sun_sun]

yeah I didn't know your song so I bluffed by referencing a different one

[wonk]

phoenix by fall out boy

how about you.

(same person different journal)

[sun_sun]

Hot Blooded, by Foreigner.

[peacefulwinter]

Huh. I seem to have missed this entirely, somehow. Oh, well, I sure see it now. GREETINGS, CASTMATE.

Winter continues to be the (self-proclaimed) protector of the high school and member of the all-powerful student council, so that might be a good place for Annie to know her from, as she's quite visible when she's doing student council work.

[sun_sun]

FAIR WARNING the only seasons I've seen all the way through are Heartcatch and Smile, so I don't actually know anything about Rikka. She sounds like a blue ranger?

[peacefulwinter]

You have good taste, but yeah, Dokidoki is airing now, so that's probably right. Rikka's her team's blue and is still the smart one of the team - think Reika except as the lieutenant to a pink with even more responsibility, and you're pretty much there. Conveniently, Cure Diamond is an ice-user, too, not that Winter has any of her attacks back; she just got back her transformation last week.

[sun_sun]

Personally I'm planning to regain as many of the useless Decors as I can before any useful powers.

[peacefulwinter]

Oh, I've been doing that myself - except since Rikka actually needs her fairy to transform, half of Winter's Echoes have gone into making him useful. She's been here since June and just now got her form back, ten Echoes later.

...I am so waiting for the day Annie expects something awesome and gets the Strawberry Decor instead. Or worse, she gets the Decor Decor and has to put it somewhere.

[sun_sun]

At least the Banana Decor has theoretical slapstick combat applications!

[peacefulwinter]

No, no, she has to use it for emergency cooking ingredients. "Annie, we're short a banana!" "No, I think I found one, hold on...!" /obnoxious drums everywhere

[sun_sun]

You know I didn't think about it until just now, but these two actually have met in a past life, haven't they? Assuming we're counting the All-Stars movies as canonical. Maybe I should rewatch New Stage 2 for reference.

[peacefulwinter]

That's what I was going to ask at some point - do we want them to get that back down the line, or should we play without the All Stars movies for sanity's sake? I'm okay with either way, considering how loose of a meaning "canon" has here.

[sun_sun]

As a Super Robot Wars fan, I can only vote in favor of legitimizing goofy nonsensical crossovers.

[peacefulwinter]

True enough, I don't know why I even asked. We'll pencil in NS2 for being a thing we do here, then... I suddenly have the horrible thought of someone apping from Fresh and having five All Stars movies to work from.

...Thank heavens half the movie is fairy shenanigans, or we'd be getting regain pings every five minutes.

[sun_sun]

ANYWAY, to jump back about three topics, I am totally on board with these two dorks knowing each other already. I've even got an intro post up if she wants to say hi!

[peacefulwinter]

Mm, I was waiting for a green light before I tagged in, let alone for figuring out what to do with them if they ever meet while in Cure form. Now that that's resolved... /switches tabs

[sun_sun]

SO I just went back and skimmed through NS2 again, and these two never actually interacted in it! They were both there during the big battle at the end, though, so they at least saw each other. In Cure form only.

Still! It's something.

[peacefulwinter]

Okay, we can work with that.

/sees tag ping

You said Annie's a freshman, right ?

[sun_sun]

Yeah. Did I get the years wrong? I can edit.

[peacefulwinter]

Aye, Winter's a senior - they wouldn't be in the same year.

[heymiki]

I feel like it would be mandatory at this point for Miki and Annie to get CR.

Would that be okay with you?

[sun_sun]

Certainly it would, although I don't know the first thing about Miki regarding why it's critical CR.

[heymiki]

Ohhh pfffttt

It's just me making a joke about how Miki's canon is kind of like a magical girl show! Don't mind me!

And they're both in the 9th grade so they're probably familiar with one another?

[sun_sun]

Oh OK, I've seen just enough Utena to have an idea of where you're coming from in that regard.

Looks like they both transferred in at around the same-ish time, too.

[heymiki]

Yup \o

So yeah, just letting you know and all if you're up for it!

[sun_sun]

I am!
