I feel like Myriad Reality is somehow the secret glue holding this entire site together

People like to nudge aside the fact that there's a level of commitment to hosting, and joining an RP. The majority of players don't have it in either case, regardless of how interesting an idea is.

I've been gone so long that I forgot what the status bar was like. It's like coming back to an old apartment, except it's not an apartment anymore, it's just two walls and a lot of heroine addicts.

@Empath You're good to go.
@RyuShura Would be good to have you on board.

@13org Go ahead.
Ki detection would likely be able to locate her regardless, but the alchemic smoke would likely mask her arcane signature. It's rather impossible to hide your Ki, but it's also extremely rare that Ki users can feel the presence of other living Ki sources.

I'd say that there detecting her would be very rare, but not impossible.
The clones flames bathed Jenso's hand in fire, overcoming his abilities for a moment and burning his entire arm. But moments later, the disappeared, and the clone was trapped. Jenso's followup strike hit the clone head-on, turning its head into a splatter of goo and shot out backwards. The clone didn't move afterwards.

Ada grit her teeth and began checking her nails for dirt. "Oh, did you think it was over?"

The clone's head began to regrow, and its feet began to solidify, again. It reached forwards with its free and for Jenso's throat, its hand covered in blue flames.

"5 minutes."
Ezekial knelt down and huffed with Lucas still rested against his left shoulder. He reached towards the fleshy plant as it fizzled away, but as he grabbed it, the lily dissolved in his hand. Ezekial kissed his teeth and stood back up. "I don't know. It might have been, I've never seen anything like it before. Maybe it was a creature in and of itself? Or.." Ezekial's eyes scanned the treetops, but he couldn't see anything else between the dark recesses of the leaves. "Somebody might be watching us, through whatever this was." Ezekial continued forward, through the thickness of the forest, urging Mikhael to follow him with a curt nod. "This forest all looks the same to me. If we're already lost, and somebody is watching us, we may never escape its grasp."
Emilia didn't move when Lystra spoke, but as a second stone fell, the collision snapped her out of her stupor, and she turned to Lystra, eyes wide open. The girl chased after her, jumping straight into the pool below, and landing with a surprising amount of grace. The underground chamber continued to crumble as Emilia swamp to safety, adamant to make her way back to the lake's edge, through the tunnel and to the water's surface. Emilia knew Lystra wouldn't freeze up like she did, but had completely forgotten that her swimming capability was less than optimal in her sudden panic, instead focusing on getting herself out of the cavern as quickly as she could.
The clone looked up at Jenso and reeled its fist back, coating it in flames that resembled the head of a dragon. Its action was quick, reacting to Jenso's speed with identical motions. It flung its fist right down at Jenso's up-ward swing. What would happen when the force of the two punches collided?
With each step, the steel's shine grew brighter, but to Lystra's eyes it was not overbearing. Emilia on the other hand, winced and shielded her face from the blinding light. "Uh, Lystra!" She warbled, inching closer towards the curious girl. But it seemed that there was no stopping her. When Lystra made up her mind, getting between her and whatever the hell she wanted to do, or touch, would only be delaying the inevitable. Emilia knew that. Even if she dragged Lystra back by her hair, she'd probably just find her way back here, even with a tedious swim dissuading her. "Lystra!" As Lystra's hand made contact with the metal, the shine disappeared. Emilia glanced back and forth, in utter confusion. "Huh?" To Emilia, it was like Lystra had just hit the artifact's off switch. But from Lystra's perspective?

A warm light flooded her body, flowing up her wrist and digging at the very core of her being. From within the disc of metal, something resonated with her soul, but just as quickly as it'd come, the power vanished, and Lystra found herself caressing the cool steel of a moderately sized shield. There were no etchings or designs across its smooth, rounded surface, but if she were to turn it over, she would find a pair of straps, used for wielding the strange steel disk.

"Lystra! Are you ok?" Emilia practically shouted, dashing to her friend's side. "What the heck was that?!"

Kalo panted with heavier breaths than ever before, clutching a wound near his lower right abdomen as it bled profusely through his coarse fingers. The boy glared up at a man donning a Green robe, who wore no shoes, and had no face. Rather, he face was obscured by a feature-hugging black mask, revealing only a pair of emerald green eyes that glinted as if they were on fire, each dotted with a darker flame that mimicked a human's pupil.

"Even now, you respond to my kindness with violent intent. Why? I've merely stated what is true," The trespasser said, sternly and with a hint of contempt clinging to his raspy voice. It was the voice of a heavy smoker, laden with tar, but he spoke as clearly as he could.

"You keep talking to me like I'm trash! You claim my family to be comparable to rabbits!"

"I had hopes for you, boy. Such grandiose hopes. You've disappointed me. It's true after all, as he's said. Just like the rest, you're no different." The man gave Kalo no leeway to speak, ignoring his objections and stepping closer to the boy as he backed up against a nearby boulder. The green-clad man shifted his limbs and tensed his body, raising his left hand forwards, and pulling his right arm back, with both feet planted firmly in the ground.

"Why? How long have you been..." Kalo paused and choked on his own words at his attacker thrusted his right palm into his skull, and smashed his body against the stone behind him.

The entire foundation of Emilia's hidden cave began to shake and crumble a minute later. Chunks of stone began to slide out of their place above them, falling towards Emilia and Lystra in chunks large enough to crush them both in an instant. Likewise, their exit began to fall apart, albeit at a far slower pace. "Lystra!" Emilia shouted, unsure of how to react. The girl froze up in the heat of the moment as a series of horrendous events ran through her mind. They had to escape before it was too late.
The mine's explosion just barely missed Jenso, but the clone turned around immediately and gave chase after the smoke cleared, only to have its feet seared into the ground by a sudden burst of fire that spread against his ankles like a shallow wave. The clone's footsteps were halted for a moment as its feet melted against the ground, and it looked up at Jenso. Ada frowned and tapped her wrist.

"6 minutes."
Ezekial stepped back at Mikhael conjured his golden flame, taken aback by the sudden magical prowess. The creatures at their feet that still held life stopped and scurried in little U's, turning away from Mikhael's magic in a panic. They didn't go far though, stopping no more than 3 yards away from the flames, afraid to go any closer. But it was not just the fire that deterred the little vermin, it was Mikhael's Arcane energy. The power he'd used to manifest his spell. Ezekial looked onto the bugs in relief, and rose his hand again. He waited, longer this time, to know that they were truly safe, but the bugs did not retreat. Henry's spear however, did not hold for long. Within a minute, it fell apart, and the flames that Mikhael had conjured set a controlled blaze by his feet. The Millipedes took advantage, and flanked around the flames. Were they intelligent? How so? A flower dropped down from behind Mikhael and glared upon the three knights with another human-like eye that glistened against the shine of Mikhael's magic. Ezekial looked up and noticed the subtle glint, twisting his face in horror at what he saw. But now it was time to act. "Jump, Mikhael!" Ezekial shouted, lugging Lucas over his shoulder and sweeping his hand in a 290 degree arc around his body. A wave of frost shot out in all directions, immobilizing and freezing over all the bugs within his radius that clung to the forest floor. Straight afterwards, he flicked the same hand after a short delay, toward the eye in the trees, launching an icicle right against the fleshy substance. The eye popped like a balloon, squirting green liquid before falling from the tree as nothing more than a decrepit lily.
