[OOC][PLOT] The Return of Planning for Arc 1 - Arrivals

[robkelk]

One idea I'd like to put forward is that special traits and/or talents each of us has wind up getting exaggerated anime-style.

SI-Rob has already demonstrated a superhuman ability to navigate bureaucracy, getting a government grant to get his building going the day after he applied for it.

(There's some truth in television there, though. I was the only one in my work group who got his security clearance renewed before the old clearance ran out, because I knew (a) how to complete the paperwork and (b) who to nudge to get the paperwork processed. It didn't happen in one day, though.)

For example, my tendency to sneak up on people who've supposedly "opened their third eye" and completely fuzz out in their plain sight.

In other words, Fate would declare Ben to be a living AMF (Anti-Magic Field) emitter.  Nowhere nearly as strong as The Numbers, but enough that he can effectively tank Nanoha and Fate's low to mid level attacks like Axle Shooter and all-but-completely confound their active search spells.  (The effect is somewhat like the Red October's Caterpillar Drive that makes US Navy sonar computers think they're hearing magma displacements - they can find him, but they gotta be looking REAL carefully.)

"Axle Shooter"? You keep her away from my car! (She can use "Accel Shooter" around the car if she wants, though.)

Hmmmmm... cars... racing... Let's rent a course somewhere and do this properly. (Why, yes, SI-Rob does know who to ask, and with his superhuman ability to navigate bureaucracy... ) Stock vehicle race, all comers. Yes, you can tune your car to your liking.

We need more than six entrants, though:

• Ten'no Haruka, driving her ... what is that car that she drives, anyway?
  
• Miyuki Kobayakawa, driving her Toyota Sports 800 (the judges ruled that a Honda Today doesn't count as "stock", being intended for police use)
  
• Sena Wakabayashi, driving her Lotus Super Seven
  
• Soichi Sugano, driving his Caterham Super Seven
  
• Lorna Endo, driving her Lotus Europa
  
• Takumi Fujiwara, driving his Toyota Sprinter Trueno
  

EDIT: Oh, yes - from my devfile:

He looked at the student ID card. "'Axel A. Rayder?' This is bullshit."

"Then tell us your real name."
