Maya smirked as she hit Emily and sent her sprawling further away. She slowly forced herself to stand up as her ears rang and her head spun. But this was going to be easy. All Emily had done so far with her abstraction was fling herself into the dirt whereas Maya actually knew how to use hers. She could just sound blast her a bunch of times until she admitted defeat… fuck.

Claudette had said their abstractions in any way that was harmful. Which was Maya’s entire abstraction. Well, she hadn’t said anything about hurting each other in other ways.

Maya was distracted wallowing in thought over the stupid rule Claudette had put in place, and the first rock hit her square in the forehead and snapped her right out of it. A sharp pain spread around her already aching head but she ignored it as she flung up her arms to block the rest of the stone barrage.

It would be easier to blast it all away, but where was the fun in deafening herself?

One of the pebbles smacked right into her broken finger, her hand dropping with a cry of pain. She gritted her teeth as she narrowed her eyes at Emily, taking a step forward. [color=FireBrick]“Is that really all you can do with that new abstraction of yours? I don’t think I even need mine to beat you…”[/color]

She smirked before quickly covering the distance between them, bringing up her knee to try to slam Emily in the stomach with it and grabbing onto her hair and pulling sharply.

Wow, she’d really fucked things up. 

But how was Isla supposed to predict that one of the other newbies would extend out a massive tree arm and grab the flag? She’d totally not seen that coming [i]at all[/i]. So could they really fault her? If she hadn’t thrown the flag someone else would’ve got it.

Ok, she definitely should have grabbed it herself. But there was no point in worrying about that. 

Vashti was already going after Kara and nobody else was a threat to the flag. Isla stood in place as her beanie once again glowed a bright purple, holding out a hand towards Kara and yelling (unnecessarily), [color=f26522]“Stop!”[/color]

A faint purple glow appeared around Kara as Isla used her abstraction to try to force her to stop running, even as it slowed her down too, in the hope it would mean Kara couldn’t easily avoid Vashti’s drop kick.
