Yuki stared at Xoxi for a few moments. What she was asking brought about a number of thoughts on what would happen. Contrary to what others may think, the merging of two deities -or demigoddesses in this case- was easy. All that would be needed was for one to show a sign of severe physical weakness, or otherwise a willingness to fuse with someone else. Of course, there were conditions to determine who could fuse with who, but that wasn't really a problem, considering that Ixox was a clone of Xoxi. However, there was also another problem.

Yuki rubbed the back of her neck and shifted her gaze to the ground for a moment.

"[Color=fdc68a]Uh...I mean...Yes, but...Well...[/color]"

Yuki's uncertain eyes returned their full attention to Xoxi's

"[Color=fdc68a]Xoxi, there's a difference between what you want to do, and what Claire and I have as a contingency plan. Between us, it would be more like we're both prepared to lose ourselves and become an all new individual. From what I can understand, if you fuse with your clone, it'd be a forced one. That means you'd have an internal struggle with her while the new form goes on a rampage. It's highly dangerous if you fuse with her, as there'd be a chance that she overpowers you and basically locks you away forever as she revels in a new form and power boost. Same thing would go for you as well. Unless you plan on trying to convince her to work with you or something.[/color]"

Clariko was somewhat disappointed that she missed her chance to hold Ixox down, but decided to let it go. After all, she figured that using 'Blast' as a pun wouldn't get her in the mood. It didn't help that the skeleton thing was still bothering them. At this rate, she'd never find a chance to see what her body had in store for more intimate interactions with the demigoddess.

She had to find a way to get rid of that skeleton.

"[color=f7976a]Hm...[/color]

She thought and thought on it, and then remembered something...well, not so much 'remembered' as 'found something in someone else's memory.'

"[color=f7976a]Hey, Ixox...Does that skeleton seem familiar to you? I swear that my predecessors have seen him before, but I can't quite put my finger on it.[/color]

[center]Oh what fun it is...[/center]

Miriam smiled as she felt her heart begin to slow. Her opponent had a few tricks up his sleeve. Unfortunately for him, she was a bit more experienced than that. The slowing of...whatever it was that counted as her 'heart', worked a bit in her favor. It slowed her pace, and let her understand the situation better within a moment.

Despite the delayed movement, the Goddess of Blood forced herself through. She jumped up and landed on the blunt side of the cleaver. She activated the Whirligig Saw, and let it rev up quickly. The sparks from its usage began flying all around as she pushed the spinning blades closer to her opponent.
