@Pink Madness Oh. Nicely posted.

@Pyromaniacwolf And nicely posted.

Yupp, I can see where you're going. This means I have some more to write. And I'm not as done anymore. Hahahaha. I'm going to need one more day, because I'm currently exhausted. Thank you for posting, that makes me so happy.

I will post tomorrow. Yupp.
… No. This… this wasn’t done by someone else. This wasn’t a counter-magic. This was HER magic. Perhaps it was due to the fabric of this new dimension she had entered, but it dawned on her. The nature of her own magic was different from what she thought. Perhaps it had simply been her inexperience with inventing new magic, but this… as it dawned on her… was so much greater than she had ever imagined.

… Those talons. She had to stop them. They were getting to her eyes, because there was no distance in between them. It occurred to her that no orb of her power was present, yet her magic was still affecting. Indeed, her orb was simply her focusing her power, and she had been manipulating the relative measure of the space in the orb. Then, to get rid of this danger, to lift everything away from pressing at her…

Away.

Amelie was somewhat aware that Ariett had caught her, physically she had just fallen into the woman’s grip and would have fallen over hadn’t she been given this support. She was thankful, but couldn’t utter the words right now. She had come to terms with what she wanted to do. Amelie let go of her shirt with one hand and directed it in front of her eyes. While the world was currently in a state of calm and tranquility right now, the effect was undeniably still affecting her.

She tried to press space away from her. Clearly, space had been pulled in at her, the relative measure decreased from her point of view. The girl determined to reject it, to restore distance relative to herself, how she was experiencing. Attempting to get it back to normal. Since it was only to herself it was happening, she assumed, she’d focus this effect on herself. Press it away. If it didn’t work, she’d attempt to create an orb the way she knew to see if it helped, if anything she knew how to do would have any effect.
Whelp. Okay. I'll attempt posting tomorrow. I've been a little preoccupied and will be tomorrow too, so I can't guarantee that I'll get the time to, but I'll try. That's all for this time.
After having stabbed, used psionic energy to throw enemies into one another and thrown daggers into the unprotected gaps of the Federation troops soldiers and having finished those off with the rest of the combatants, there wasn’t all that much important for the psionic alien to do, so she simply tagged along, pretty silently. She had no particular insight into their plan, and just went ahead with it, keeping her balance in case of any explosions. If they wanted to blow things up, sure. Currently, Lataniva was simply following orders.

She headed with Grayson when the command was given, and apparently let Saul do his thing when they ended up on that route. Then they ran into Amy, helpless without her armor. Lataniva raised her eyebrows at this, because she wasn’t exactly impressing after having said she would pull her own weight. However, fine, it wasn’t as if the rest of the team were having any trouble just yet.

When then suddenly a group of Federation troops appeared to attack them. Grayson jumped in front of Amy to cover her. Lataniva had none of that compassion. Yet, these were enemies. Enemies that were not to be left alive, and suppose it would be bad for the mission if her companions were to be gunned down. At the very least, it would be troublesome if Grayson died. Not going to let that.

She threw a knife forward and let it be destroyed as it blocked a blast from an enemy trooper. She then threw her hand forward and the dust struck the guns of the enemies, as well as their visors, because Lataniva was intending on disorienting them, and then she intended to move forth to dispatch them… when a voice called out to cease fire. Lataniva stopped as well, staring forward with her halberd drawn. … Father, huh. Lataniva let Amy walk forward to hug. The Dalentian glared, and then watched with pity in her eyes as Amy got slapped. She then spoke, weapon at the ready, and made very certain to speak her name.

‘I remind, Amy. Our orders are to leave no survivors.’
Lataniva said with a voice with zero sympathy. However, gazing upon the individual, she followed up on it.

‘Would you prefer we kidnapped this individual? Then we wouldn’t technically be leaving a survivor. We need an official for me to process, regardless. What do you say, Grayson?’
Lataniva then followed up on her words, with a little shrug and a similarly non-caring tone. She was ready to do her thing, given the command.

@Crossfire@Xandrya@Tickout
The <beep> are you posting in this thread for? You're messing up my subscriptions, I had a nice museum of all my dead roleplays lined up by date of death... XD [/joke]
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.
Terminal


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.
