All she could and had ever done was change the relative objective measure of the Four Pillars.


... Okay. Thanks to your earlier post in the OOC, I know the Four Pillars are matter, energy, space and time. Which makes sense. Now to figure out what the "relative objective measure" of them is referring to. Hahahahaha.

Edit: Alright. Let's see if I've been an idiot. Hahaha.

Edit 2: Oh, damn. Sorry, WiseDragonGirl. I missed that you spoke to Amelie. My apologies. Guess she became deaf, too, because of my failure to read properly.
... Okay. So, uh, I won't be getting a post out within 12 hours as I said, because... well... friends had plans, and... (Note to self, do not expect to find the time or energy to get ANYTHING done on a Friday evening when you have friends like those XD)

But, tomorrow, certainly. I swear on my honor. I'll have nothing to do, anyway. But for now, I shall go collapse, because I am out of energy and had to strain myself from falling asleep just to type this. Haha.

Edit: There. That'll do. I don't actually know what you all planned with this encounter, but I feel that's how Lataniva would react right now. And, I skipped that battle-scene I wanted to write with posting at all as a priority. Hah.
I'll see if I can get a post up within 12 hours. Heh.
So, her claim was disputed. She could handle that, if she wasn’t getting killed. She kept her eyes focused on the male knight. Her Distortion Orb flickering the view around him. As per what he was saying, this world was… pretty dangerous. Those lightning orbs were going to kill them soon, too, huh. As expected of a dimension Penny had taken a liking to. Donny moved out of sight, Hiecro complained, and Amelie wasn’t about to comment on that. For that part, she was but a part of the ride right now.

As she had a few comments to make, Amelie opened her mouth to speak. … But she quite suddenly became very preoccupied with something.

Abruptly, Amelie's redirection orb vanished, and she felt her own innate affinity with her spatial magics go haywire - her senses pinwheeling like a compass trying to find true north in a lodestone mine. As if distinctions such as direction and distance had suddenly lost all meaning and were illusory, and that the whole of the world was rushing in to collapse upon her all at once and as though the land was rising up to meet the sky with all the horizon about to be swallowed whole by finely honed ivory talons.

Amelie could but blink in confusion for the brief moment she could still stand when everything turned against her. She winced, and her expression twisted in frowning pain at the experience. With her vision playing tricks on her, Amelie closed her eyes, but her senses of direction was all over the place and she couldn’t stay like this.

She intentionally fell to her knees, knowing she wouldn’t be able to keep herself standing. If otherwise unsupported, Amelie twisted herself to fall onto her back or side… but how did she even know what direction was her side? The priority was to not fall onto the spikes on the inside of her shirt, but how did she even know what direction that was right now? … She simply had to go with her instincts to move her muscles so that she would, trying to use muscle-memory to shift her weight left and pull her left shoulder forward. At least, that’s what she thought she was doing.

She tried to direct her fall to land on her side, but other than that Amelie couldn’t do much other than pray she got more used to this, trying to take control of whatever beast was unleashed on her senses with her own magic. Her fists clutched her shirt even harder along with the blanket if it was given to her. She was still trying to prevent contact between the spikes and her skin, but wasn’t entirely sure how to. For all that was possible, if the ground came up to meet her, then her fall might be shorter than she thought it would be.

This felt so impossible. The feeling of distance and direction just vanishing, logic undone, Amelie had to assume this was something only she was experiencing. Counter-magic? Aimed at her to get rid of the Redirection Orb? Something which blasted her orientation out of the water? If it was, she had to consider that first after she had recovered, so she focused on trying to get a grip of herself. … What were those talons…?
Hm. I'm having a bit of difficulty deciding how much this should affect Amelie. One one hand it is seemingly only her magical effects on things that seems to have gone crazy, but the rising and such of ground rising and talons swallowing the horizon sounds distinctly visual, making me consider that perhaps all her senses are affected. Yet, that could just be likeliness of what her spacial magics were experiencing, or... not. ... ... ... It does say "her senses", which would mean all of them. Doesn't say which specific senses or so. Hm.

Edit: Then again, her only magic sense is her sense to sense magic (of the variant from her own world), and I don't think that's what's spinning out of control. Hah.

Edit 2: Um, anyways. She's going to fall over. That's about that. Felt important to get out so that people could react to it. Hah.
Whelp. Okay, understood. Don't write like that, no matter the mental state at the time. Haha.
Currently doing that phone-call over PMs because faster conversation without cluttering.

… They knew her gender. It wasn’t a major thing, but it was a detail to note. From where? Shatterpoint seeing her and distinguishing from her form? From information that had been left behind from the time of her trigger? If the latter, it meant they also knew her identity. However, if they knew her place of residence, it wasn’t impossible someone had been spying inside where she didn’t hide. That would mean they knew Viola as well. … They might have followed Speedrunner, and just happened to come across Wisp while doing so. Wisp put this information on her mind as she listened. Unfortunately, it seemed she only caught the latter part of the conversation.

From the door, even if she could turn light to look inside, there wasn’t really a way for Wisp to peek at what Shatterpoint was doing. … Or was there? Focusing on her powers in a way she hadn’t thought of before, she attempted gathering the photons she was receiving from the desk, from more than one second, and attempted recreating a magnified image in her eyes to watch. Of papers and potentially the light from the computer if she could grab enough indirect light to create an image for herself.

… She hadn’t thought of doing that before. Could this be used to watch things from all around… in a much more detailed fashion? Light bounces on walls. All the walls in the whole world could be her mirrors… … … … No, she was getting ahead of herself. Even if she theoretically could do it, she didn’t know where to possibly start gathering such an image from all the light she was collecting. Also, compounding theoretical images was a good way of getting false positives. Back to the matter at hand.

Shatterpoint. The person who could theoretically see her. Wisp inspected him while leaning to the wall allowing the grunts to pass by her. The question remained. Can he see her? … This would do for a test. It wasn’t a guarantee that the future would allow for a better time, and at such a time perhaps she’d rather not be seen. This time, she was somewhat okay with potentially being seen. She took a silent breath, and then stepped into the doorway.

Wisp kept very careful watch on Shatterpoint for any sign that he saw her. She had only stepped into the doorway and stopped, intending to not be hostile but surely in control. She crossed her arms, standing and waiting in full view, waiting to see if Shatterpoint could see her. Even if he pretended not to see her, she was looking out for any movement that looked like he saw her. He could react quite a few different ways, not all of them positive.




IF… he gave an indication that he could see her, she’d give him a bit of a message, in the shape of white letters of light floating in the air.

that wasn’t the message i gave them
not that i expected their accuracy
should i be talking to you or ceramix?


She’d be standing still with her arms crossed as she told, hoping to give an atmosphere of confidence. In truth, she wasn’t really, she felt exposed. But, he couldn’t see her expression, she hoped.




IF… he didn’t. If he couldn’t see her. Then Wisp would lightly tread into the room, careful to not make any sound, and more directly spy on the contents of the desk and computer. It’d occur to her, this is a registered villain with no way to see her. If she could see any holes in that armor, she could… she could stab him. The world would be a better place. Eh. In any case. He was typing at his computer, wasn’t he? … Eh. Let’s do this.

She’d move within a meter of his eyes, hopefully diagonally behind his desk, and do her thing. She’d take the colors from the computer screen, and suddenly, it’d appear to Shatterpoint that instead of the words he intended to write, the letters he wrote on the computer became

i don’t really appreciate house calls from thugs

She’d adjust the number of letters to the number he wrote, and come up with more to say if he kept writing. She was honestly just playing with his eyes, if he went away from her range the computer would revert to what he had actually written for him. Not that she’d let him. She’d take steps to make sure he was within her range, unless he somehow swung for her. Then she’d dodge.

Edit: Though, if he used the computer to reply to her for whatever reason, she'd allow that message to show on the screen.

@Rune_Alchemist Nicely posted. Excited, aren't you. Laurinda's feeling used. Haha. Anyways, yupp.
@Bright_Ops I'll note that my goals and Amelie's goals will not be one and the same, and I'll be making my decisions based on both. Like, Amelie definitely wants to live. I mean, I kind of want her to live too, but unlike Amelie I'm okay with if she dies for the sake of overcoming the hazard. Haha.
