The delve into Romance/Erotica has begun! A big thank you to Chrissy for her help with the covers. Isabella Martin was born a hundred years after an economic crash, which changed the whole world. Countries fell, and others rose up in their place. Debt is now genetic. There is no escaping one's family without special dispensation. With the help of a few patrons, the government began a Program which oversaw private contracts between the rich and the poor, contracts that would pay off chunks of debt, or even allow a person to remove themselves from their family and hold a private debt. Each contract has very clear terms dictating what is to be expected of those who sign it. Each one has several escape clauses. The government employed private workers to check in on the contracts to prevent abuse of power. Isabella was a tomboy. She worked as a labourer alongside her father and brothers until she was hurt in a workplace related accident. The other skills she developed in the slums were not exactly marketable, leading her to the Program building in search of a contract to bring her family's debt down any way she could. She was presented with a 'blank slate' contract. No rules, no guides, no escape. This is her story. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LAEH2W8

Congratulations, and the cover is stunning! ::scurries off to buy this one::

Dammit, I always hate dealing with images on forums...oh, well, thanks for posting that since I apparently screwed it up. I was rolling with the assumption that Class Cards wouldn’t be a thing, so they’d basically just be like Sella and Leys, two strong minions that could fight Masters but probably not Servants, along with the Kaleidosticks probably not showing up at all.

After a few days of nothing happening, something happened to make me think, “Hmm, you know, Julian Ainsworth from Prisma Illya could be a Master in this.” He’s got a crazy wish to save the world that could easily be displaced into this, with him recognizing the world’s declining state and wanting to be the hero who uses the Holy Grail to do it. He’s got an interesting enough skill set with Flash Air (basically Kawarimi from Naruto except switching anything with anything), even without letting him have any of the weird Grail related powers he has. Plus the whole “dolls animated by the spirits of the dead” could totally be used. The Ainsworth family is old enough to be able to justify having an artifact to summon just about any Servant IchaSennin wanted to use. And last and most importantly, the two Dolls he has already, Angelica and Beatrice… I mean, Angelica is the closest thing we have to a canonical female Gilgamesh, so she’s always been great. But...this is official art, meaning Word of God, Beatrice Flowerchild do got the booty. And damn but she do. Hell, could use Prisma elements with it, too. The Ainsworths picked up Miyu during the fire to use as a Grail to save the world, Julian is still working at that but also has her be a Master to try and stack the deck in his favor, but she escapes and winds up with Shirou, eventually Julian tries something against Shirou, winds up losing Angelica and Beatrice, too. So basically the same thing that will happen to Kayneth could happen here, with Julian losing his servants and everything to Shirou.

Have since I came back from the last so call training exercise messed up. Now I am in the classroom setting only. Train them but do not go out into the field with them except overnight locally. And that is within 50 miles of home.

Thank you! In-character dialogue and behavior are a high priority for me. I think you’ll be satisfied with the outcome. The Loud girls certainly will be. Thanks for the comments!

Couple of them once. A small leak in the living room. Florida room had many leaks that I had to pull the ceiling to fix them. When they put the second story on the house over the garage and Florida room they did not seal it right. Now I have to find the leaks and fix them. Good thing that I have grandchildren to do that for me. The reason is that my wife will not let me get on the roof. She says with the bad knees that I have she does not want me on the roof.

So I'm weighing my options between army, navy and air force. If I go army, I want to go as a paratrooper or EOD. Navy and Air force would be as either weapons engineer or avionics engineer. Figured this was as good a place as any- given the number of vets- to ask for some opinions. Thanks

Thanks! She's conflicted at the very least. We shall see. No spoilers. I'm glad. Thanks for the comment!
