《Wonderland Secrets》Questioning Diamond
Advertisement
Jax looked at me and said, "Let's go." He ran off and I ran after him. While running I felt something hit my arm then heard it fall on the ground. Pain shot through my arm but I ignored it and kept running. A few minutes later we reached Diamonds house and we're out of site from the people with the bow and arrows. We stopped running and Jax turned to face me. He said, "At least they didn't have good aim."
I said, "They could have hit us or killed us if they want to. Come on lets go knock on the door."
Jax said, "Hold on, there's blood coming through your sleeve."
"Yeah they shot me with an arrow that's why they said they could have shot us or killed us if they wanted to," I replied. Before he could respond I went up to the door and knocked on it. A few seconds later Diamond answered it.
She asked, "What are you two doing here?"
Jax said, "We know that youryo the Red Queen's adoptive daughter and your going to tell us what you know and why you kept it from us."
Diamond asked, "Do I get a choice in the matter?"
Jax glared at her and said, "No."
Diamond sighed and said, "Fine, come in." We went inside and sat on the couch.
Jax asked, "Where's the first aid kit?"
She said, "I'll go get it." When she came back into the living room she asked, "What's this for?"
Jax said, "You're going to tell us what we want to know while I fix Sapphires arm."
"I'm fine Jax," I replied.
Jax said, "You got shot in the arm with an arrow and your bleeding your not fine. Now shut up and let me help you."

I said, "Fine." Jax stood up and took the first aid kit from Diamond and then sat back down next to me. He pulled my sleeve up and started to clean the cut out and make it so that it stops bleeding.
Jax said, "So tell us Diamond."
Diamond said, "Ok fine, I am her adoptive daughter but I left her awhile ago."
I asked, "If she was your mother why did you leave?"
"When I was a kid I didn't know that she was bad and wanted to kill Faye and some other people. When I got older she told me everything and that she wanted me to help her but I didn't want to so I left and moved back to the other world," Diamond replied.
Jax asked, "Do you have any rubbing alcohol?"
Diamond said, "Yeah." She left and came back with a bottle and a rag a few seconds later.
I said, "You don't have to put that on my arm."
She gave it to Jax and he turned and looked at me. He said, "Yes i do i have to finish cleaning it out and then wrap it."
I said, "Fine." He put some rubbing alcohol on to the rag and then pressed it against my cut. He held the rag there with his hand while he turned to face Diamond.
He asked, "What do you mean you moved back to the other world?"
"My mother went to the other world only one time. During that one time she decided she would need someone to help her get what she wants and to get revenge on some people. She went into an orphanage and found me. I was only two at them time but she adopted me anyway," Diamond responded.

I asked, "How old were you when you moved back?"
Diamond said, "I was eleven when she wanted me to join her I told her no and ran away to the other world. A couple found me and adopted me but a few weeks ago my mother somehow tracked me down and sent me a letter saying that she was coming for me and that I will help her."
Jax said, "Ok. So if you don't want to join her and be like her why did you move back here?"
"She said in the letter that she wants to see me and if I don't join her she'll kill my foster parents and then me," Diamond replied.
I asked, "So where are you real parents?"
Diamond appeared to think for a second and then she said, "They died."
Jax said, "How do we know your telling the truth?"
Diamond said, "Maybe I am maybe I'm not that's for you to decide." A couple minutes passed in complete silence. Jax wrapped my arm and then a few seconds later Cheshire appeared out of nowhere.
I looked at him and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Me, Hatter and everyone else know that some people attacked you guys in the forest," Cheshire responded.
Jax asked, "How do you know that? "
He said, "One of them went rouge and told us about it. He also told us who sent them.
I said, "Yeah it was the Evil Queen.
Cheshire shook his head and said, "No it wasn't."
Jax said, "Then who was it?"
Cheshire looked at both of us then at Diamond then back at us then he said, "Diamond told them to."

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.

Let's Shine
So, first things first, this here is a magical girl thing. There are girls in it, they have magical abilities, fight supervillains (who have magical abilities, too, but in a more menacing way, like superpowers), and also do girly stuff. But it's not for children. Or at least not entirely. The idea is, it should be cute, but at the same time serious. Cute-serious, yeah… So, this is experimental for me. I'm planning to make short updates for as long as I can keep it up or until the plot resolves itself, whichever comes first. Most of all, I'm planning to not overthink or overedit things as much as I usually do, so there are bound to be mistakes and inconsistencies. I'll try my best to keep them to a minimum, though. But if you notice something, please feel free to tell me!
