Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

'Odd,' she thought as she couldn't recall their names. Nobody really seemed to know each others names in this group, they kind of just... formed and moved out. maybe they will all be able to introduce themselves when they stop for the night. She petted her horse a few more times before turning to go back in the carriage when she noticed a man on the side of the road watching them pass. She gave a cute little smile and waved to him before going back into the machine with Metis. "Phew, it feels terrible out there, I don't know how they do it." she said to Metis referring to the others. "Hey, I can take another turn driving for a while if you want. How are we looking on water?"

Metis turned to behold Lynn entering the carriage the stunningly bright sun exposing her to so much surface energy she almost fetched her light goggles which though primitive functioned quite well as did her stillsuit. She smiled in her own way which was a display of colors that in some cases only another Tearian could see and was so happy when the door was closed and her shaded retreat dark warm and moist once more.

She sent mentally using the image of the actual gage as her image

”They are of the surface honored Lynn, the light and heat they live with comparable to the crushing pressure we water type live with as a matter of environment.

Metis agrees with Lynn that it is startling to experience what they live in but Metis also prepared to enter their world if needed.

Metis detects deficit in tactical orders, herd moves with no central directive…..Lynn attacks without prepared plan as if Lynn were berserker. Lynn is healer and valuable as is the blood of Vrondi. Metis begs Lynn consider her safety and act not impulsively.” says Metis to Lynn in her quiet musical tone of speaking.

(Right Center Tentacle) Metis’s RCT reaches down to the carriage dash and retrieves a retractable moisturizer hose that sprays a fine cool mist on the user offering it to Lynn as the image of its operation by Metis is sent to show how it is used.

”Metis is good with driving Metis tentacles almost trained to operate machine.

Driving easy for Metis, Lynn may study or read...maybe sleep if able in shaky machine.

Metis is happy herd passes trouble after so quickly diving into evil” says the Octo girl as a sphere of light floats into being the view inside its field showing the road ahead and drifting off to the sides checking any potential hiding places.

Lacy heard Zack ask if everyone was ready as she spun around in the air testing all the systems in her suit which briefly made her look as if her Phantom suit was going Insane before everything was retracted.

Smooth and normal looking now Elvira/Lacy (She alters her voice even taking on a thick English accent.)

”I’m tops Sweety”

Once Lacy had her new uniform under control she returned to ghost and felt an almost buzzing sensation of excess energy till she realized she’d passed through a power cable and recharged her ghost form. She was still getting used to that strange sensation and how she could look at a machine and tell you what its purpose was due to her primary talent Electrokinesis which made her a bit like a Technus without the shoddy software.

She loved the ability to operate machine as if she held a universal remote but what she really loved about her Phantom Form was the ability to fly. It was with this thought she searched her mind for a way to convince the others they should do some flight training and maybe try and steer it towards Aerobatics.

Lacy loved doing what was basically Ghostly Parkour more than she liked driving her car.

Lacy grabs her gear pausing for a moment to worship Sam with a brief glance at the beautiful young woman before heading to a changing room.

As she changed Lacy wondered how she might find some way to join Sam in her activist activities; locally Sam was a legendary activist and a role model.

Lacy was out of her leotards and jacket and into what had they called it?

Not recalling its true name she called it her Phantom suit as she connected with its onboard tech with her talent.

Ascension 3: A return to Chaos

@Jollan

Metis sat in the odd machine they thought to test her with lucky that she had extra appendages to operate the thing as it seemed to her to have been made for two Bi-symmetrical types to operate. Valves, levers, gages, and four floor pedals were required to operate the machine. Then there was the balance of pressures and heat which unleashed the power in water that in the wild shattered stones but in the carriage gave it the ability to move a machine that weighed as much as an Orca...perhaps two Orca.

The carriage was nice but would have to be abandoned soon because of how it consumed her attention meaning she was not properly Lynn’s bodyguard. Perhaps she could find a reptile to ride, they might not be as skittish as a mammal either that or she’d trot along with the herd.

“Why they not let Metis run?” she thought as she drove.

Metis was a creature of the wild, from beyond the extents of what most thought of as civilization. Here on the surface she of course was forced to wear a stillsuit to capture, filter, oxygenate, and circulate her body moisture so she didn’t dry up and die in a world that was all desert to her and she’d trained to survive here.

They may need horses and other strange mounts to cover ground but Metis was a Hunter and in her second stomach she had several condensed food pellets that were a natural product of her strange biology. Had she regurgitated one of the pellets to share with an ally like Lynn in an extreme survival situation it would have resembled a wrinkled purple brown egg with a thin translucent blood skin the size of a small chicken’s egg. It was how she survived between kills in the abyss excepted she didn’t need to move it any farther than her third stomach to survive three days before she needed to eat another.

Ami had been having trouble all morning her mount unfamiliar to her and she to it, he was being affected by her healing aura enhancing his stamina thus making him a stud in his prime. It wasn’t as if she didn’t have her ways of dealing with such issues but to have a mount for such a journey that she had little skill...where Ami’s thoughts as she first became aware of the troubled tree.

The others had already committed attacks at the poor possessed tree when the one she’d heard called Allard walked up to her as she gazed aghast at the revealing violence.

“Young lass, there wouldn't be any chance that yur able ta remedy tha land itself from this creepin' evil taint, is there?” he asked snapping her from her shock.

”Oh, sorry” she says her face flushing with color

”I can try” she says as her wings erupt the flames without heat and intangible are made of Holy Light….”The Light of Vrondi”

Mosses near her become lush and inviting the trees bloom or fruit. When she swings her leg over to one side of her saddle she dismounts not by stepping down but is carried up with a single silent stroked of her glittering wings.

Then a rare song, a song only heard in holy ritual comes from Ami as she pushes her blood talent into her spell of Holy Light adding to the blessing of light. The veil between the worlds is burned by the source of life back into hiding to await the dark before able to return.
As she sings Ami touches down the tip of a toe striking a puddle of water her purification granting it holy nature as she creates a Warding Barrier Circle anchored by a nine pointed star circle flown in an invoking pattern.

Ami lands on the primary, the anchor point and begins to feed the spell with her life force unafraid, without hesitation. Patterns of golden light form complex circles that rotate like the cogs of a ghostly machine causing the ley line to be drawn over the corrupted place by forming a sort of lighting rod effect the shadow princess serving as the fuse.

The banishing takes a lot out of Ami as she pulled no stops to end the source of corruption with all her effort. (She used a Sledge hammer to kill a mouse)

Once the thermos has consumed the annoying little twit ghost lacy pops the lid back on and turns 360 scanning the room for any hidden threats or any spirits trying to beat a hasty retreat.

”I wonder if that was a test set up by our mentors?” she says to the others tossing the filled thermos into the air and catching it.

”Ta made Niao!” (Chinese: God Dammit!) says Lacy who already in ghost form picks the nearest target to execute a front flip at it as her ghost tail alters form into a hammer.

Not a perfect or effective hammer yet it did distract the target so that she could land Fenton Thermos at the ready as she goes into two double roundhouse kicks knocking it to the floor as the Thermos lid pops open.
