Tatiana was scrambled, Thuy was getting pissed, Prudence was stunned and getting pummeled, and Ava had her mace taken. If they could continue this momentum, they could turn the tide. However, that candy was still bugging her. It could be nothing, but it could mean more. And Vicky was her best bet. [color=A2797E][i]”I can’t. I have to keep the fight going. If I stop and spend time trying to read their thoughts, I leave myself vulnerable, or everyone else gets hurt. If we can confirm that thing is sketchy, I stand a better shot of finding out more. And even if we do find out it’s something, I won’t be able to do anything mid-fight. Just please find out what you can.”[/i][/color] Sabine returned her attention to the Hex Girls. Prudence looked like she was nearly down, but Thelma wasn’t going just to let them clobber her. And she was putting up some strong defense. If they could get her away and distracted enough, separated from Prudence, the others could take her out. One less Hex Girl was always the best option. Sabine strode forward. She attempted to latch onto Thelma’s consciousness and have her stop with her wards, but Sabine felt resistance. Was Thelma onto her? Was she defending her mind. She needed someone to distract her, for just a moment. Long enough for Sabine to stop her. Percy latched eyes with Thelma for a minute. [color=ed1c24]“What are you warding against? Good fashion sense?”[/color] Sabine glanced over at Percy with a grin. Thelma seemed to be as well, and her attention drifted from Sabine to Percy. Sabine took her chance and sent her consciousness forward. This would be different as she wasn't changing or altering a memory. She was essentially telling Thelma to do something. Sabine's ego manifested in Thelma's mind. In it, Sabine looked strong. Powerful. In control. [color=A2797E][b]"Why don't you drop those wards now? In fact, I COMMAND you to!"[/b][/color] Sabine felt herself establish that bond and returned to her own being. [color=A2797E]"The defenses should be down. Get her away and take care of Prudence!"[/color] [hider=Round 1]Sabine: [list][*]Health: 30 [*]Focus: 65 [*]Karma: 1 [*]Notes - [list] [*]As an action, Sabine uses Command on Thelma for 5 Focus [*]Sabine rolls a 5, 5, and 2.
