Hey there, the chat exploded into nonsense as usual and I was inspired. But I was also lazy and a bit stupid so nothing has changed. In it there were ideas thrown around and Mel's assassin led to Gunslinger Girl debates which led to magical girls and mechas. However, one thing sprouted and caught my eye. A romantic tale, full of slapstick, silliness, fighting robots, and alien battles. Time for basic summary.

It's the future, the threat of alien invasion is a constant worry. Schools around the world are preparing the next generation of Earth's defenders. Our story begins at Something Something Girl's School. I don't have a name. Here classes go as normal but their sports are a little different. Girls are paired up, either with someone they choose or at random. One girl, generally the stronger, more athletic one, is given the ability to become a giant fighting robot. The other, usually smarter, is trained to pilot them. The school holds tournaments and events as the girls learn to work together and trust their partner. However the aliens are out there, and far above the fun and romance of Something Something Girl's School, the aliens are coming.


So you may be wondering what the point is, the answer, none. I don't know. This is what I have, basic ideas, but I'd love to hear input from the rest of you. Consistent ideas and other things, I'm only one idiot after all and I need all the support I can get.

I believe I have already voiced my excitement for this vague concept that has yet to achieve any sort of direction. I think it is positively awesome! Dare I say, it's the cat's pajamas!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyhow!

Some thoughts about a few things here.

As catchy as Something Something Girl's School is, let's see if we can narrow down some names for this awesome place! I'm thinking of something slightly grandiose, so I looked up some of the Titans from Greek mythology. Considering this about girls turning into giant robots, naming the school after a Titan seems very appropriate!

I've narrowed it down to two.

1) Theia Girl's Academy - Named after the Titan, Theia, who is the mother of Helios (the Sun) Selene (the Moon) and Eos (the Dawn). I figured the connection to space and the fact that Theia is the name of the theoretical planet that crashed into earth and helped make the moon, it would be a good idea.

2) Themis Girl's School - Themis is the Titan who embodies divine order, law and custom. So, basically, an ancient goddess of justice. And with aliens beating down the gate, she also seems like a very appropriate choice to name this school after.

This is the result of boredom and access to wikipedia! I figure this setting could be in one of several schools that is devoted to training students in the art of turning into giant robots (it's a fine art).

On a side note, maybe students could be assigned classes named after figures from Greek mythology. It could be a way to describe how they act in battle and what kinds of tactics that they might use. Just some idle thoughts! Hope it helps!
