Bielle looked at Zenl, "We-Well no i-it's n-not m-my super power. Well you see I'm dead. I'm no living alive." she said a little relieved saying this to the boy. "M-my n-name is Bielle." she added as they ran down the road and a long the pathways to get to the City Hall. Bielle took a few deep breaths to calm her undead nerves and relaxed a little. Bielle then looked at Zenl "Wi-Will you come in with me?" she asked a little scared about this situation and clamped her hands together over her chest looking at Zenl with a worried right eye and her bright blonde bangs covered her nonexistent left eye.

Malcolm saw one of the girls from the warehouse, along with the guy who had showed up after they had reached the island. Malcolm new that the girl was nervous due to his ability to sense people's emotions, and he was also curious about her odd appearance, so he walked over and said, "Hello, I'm Malcolm, what's your name?" He extended his hand towards her and waited for her to answer so he could introduce himself to the boy next to her.
|
The girl charged Serhan and as she crashed into his legs he did a forward flip to absorb the contact, then corkscrewed in the air to land facing her. Then he spoke, "So a fight, then? Good, good, good. I like to work for my paycheck, after all. How about a sword fight, then?" Then he lifted his arms up with the katanas sticking out and assumed a stance. It seemed she had no difficulties controlling the power. Hopefully he could us his size or experience as an advantage over this kid. Or come up with a way to outsmart her. "Aren't you a little too young to be fighting trained soldiers?" He said, he was going to try and stall while he thought of something.
|
"Aren't you a little too big to be picking on a little girl?" Tali shot back, trying to get an emotional rise out of him. She took a deep breath, and, with a thought, created a boken, or Japanese training sword, exactly like she used in Kendo. It was a good thing she never took off that gi; she always did better in martial arts with it on as it provided more freedom of movement. I can do this, she thought to herself, attempting to calm herself down. You've fought five times as many men as him who were each easily twice his size. It won't be so hard.
With a sudden, and nearly impossible, speed and power, Tali threw herself at her opponent, swinging for his legs. |
"Sure, Bielle, I'll go in with you," Zenl said, grabbing her hand again. "That's a pretty unique... power you have. Is that it, or is it a part of something else?" He was about to enter the large building when another boy came up and stuck his hand out.
"Hello, Malcolm," Zenl responded, though he knew the greeting was directed towards Bielle. "I'm Zenl, local sound technician." He laughed as he said the last part, trying to keep Bielle calm, as well as give a friendly impression to Malcolm. |
"Katherine is the name I was given by my parents, but no one has called me that in years..." she replied politely but she decided not to ask Daemon what her real name was. Angel listened as the girl told her about herself. "Fire can be quite dangerous at times, I hope you are carefully," she suggested sweetly as her wings fanned out behind her. Usually she did more flying in a day and her wings were beginning to grow agitated form the lack of movement. "I can control light and darkness." She felt like adding but she didn't want to mention the capacity of it, sometimes it would freak even a mutant out. "And I can heal myself as well as other people." She didn't think that she would have to mention that is how she got her nickname and when she had said the thing about the angel and the demon walking together she couldn't help but smile. "I guess you could say that," she told her trying to make her feel better but then she realized why she apologized. "Most people judge from first impressions," she told her as she looked up at the sun, she could feel its light filling her with energy. Then she looked at Daemon with a smile. "But I am not one of those people."
|
Serhan laughed as the girl snapped back at him. He saw her form some swords. They looked like training swords. Why would someone use dull swords? Maybe it was a trick. He ignored and as she charged him he just stood motionless, relaxed even. "Here's a good opportunity to test her." He thought. He wasn't worried about killing her, she seems to have good control of his powers so unless someone hit an organ no one was dying here. That was good since the bosses made clear they wanter her alive if it all possible.
Finally, as she was just closing in on him and swinging her swords for his legs, he shot numerous long spikes out from his body in her direction. |
Tali used a dirty trick on her opponent. She knew it, though she didn't particularly care. At the last instant, as her blade connected with Karakura's bone projections, she sucked most of the calcium from her teeth, as well as drawing upon it from the rest of her tiny skeletal system, creating an immensely strong bone that snapped through the majority of his projections before she lunged up, sharpening it to stab into the man so she could escape.
"Okay guys, what's the first order of business?" Jacob asked as he took his seat among city council. "We need to discuss collecting taxes, as well as the mutant situation in South America. Then the general public can ask questions and see about getting permission for things as usual," a gruff voice said, belonging to an elderly man of average height. "Thank you, Mr. Craon," Jacob replied, nodding in the man's direction. "Okay, what are some of the proposals for taking taxes?" "Well, we figured we could act as tax-collectors and go around collecting them," a female piped in. "No, that won't work," Jacob dismissed immediately. "We can't take the money, and tax-collectors are seen as sneaky and dishonest." "Well, what if we vote people to act as our tax-collectors every year? Lie detector test and everything if need be," another elderly woman said. "Yes, that would work quite well," Jacob pondered before continuing. "All in favor?" "Aye!" came the response from the rest of the Councilmen. "Now, I was thinking we should tax the people ten percent of their yearly income," Jacob opened up. "Ten percent! Don't you think that's a little high?" "They don't have to pay bills or spend money on gas. Is ten percent really too much to ask for?" Jacob countered. "Well, what would it be used for?" a voice from the crowd called out. "I'm thinking about buying a private island nearby from a wealthy family. Our little island won't be able to support us forever after all," Jacob responded, pointing out their population. "So, ten percent? Good. Now onto the next order of business..." Cailyn sat in her little workshop, conversing with her computer about the status of her project. "Computer, how much antimatter do we have stored in the Dark Matter Chamber?" "Two hundred grams," the monotone masculine voice replied. "That's not too bad. All I have to do is complete this little antimatter producer and put it in the Antimatter Energy Unit and I'll have the energy source ready." She wheeled herself over to her work table, sipping from a can of Vanilla Coke as she did so, and began working on the specified project, a power source that would power her new weapon. |
Daemon smiled a bit, glad that she hadn't offended Angel. She frowned, noticing that the blond girl was moving her wings a lot. "I hate to have to ask, but..." she thought about how to word this, but finally gave up and went for the blunt approach. "You look like you'd prefer to be flying." She winced internally, hating how that sounded. "Well, I've never flown much, I never had the chance. If you could, think you could help? So far the highest I've been off the ground is just a few feet."

((wow, it happened again. I lost my internet 2 days ago and I just get it back, and of course almost everyone's posted, lol))
"hello zenl," Malcolm said, retracting his hand. He thought for a minute, taking note of bielle's nervousness and asked, "What's a sound technician?" |
Bielle looked at Zenl, "M-My po-power is a-a little different, I-I h-have tentacles i-inside in my body a-and I h-have an alter ego I-I should never be angered." she said as she took Zenl's hand to go into the study hall until she saw the hand come out of the door, Zenl laughed and responded. Bielle became surprised by this but became calm when Zenl told him it was alright, "I-is th-this a fr-friend of yours?" she asked walking closer to Zenl so she could get a better look.
|
Malcolm looked over at Bielle and chuckled, "I just got here as well. We came at the same time, I recognized you from the warehouse." He held out his hand towards her again and said, "My name's Malcolm, what's yours?"
|
The girl snapped through his leg bone projection and then swung her weapon up at him. The bones were going to be fairly damaged and he sucked them back in, but luckily he hadn't put much into them. He said, "Nice try." and blocked her attack with his right blade, then formed his dominant left arm's projection into a dense bone gauntlet and swung at the kid, intending to knock her away to recoup.

Dani strolled into the house Jacob had told her about, taking the time to knock first. It was common courtesy to do so after all. "Hello! Is anyone in here?" she called out as she crossed the threshold. Curiously, Dani stuck her head into every room, seeking the people she was supposed to greet. A huge smile burst to life on her face when she found a girl who looked to be her age in the kitchen.
"Hi!" she called out cheerfully. "How are you? I'm Dani. Jacob sent me here to greet you guys and make sure everything was all right. Is there anything I can do... Oh crap! How'd you get that wound on your shoulder!?" She cried after seeing the bullet wound from earlier on the girl. "Let me heal that right up!" she said as she ran over to the girl, building up her biokinetic energy. Directing this energy at the girl's shoulder, she imagined how it should look; how and where the muscle fibers were located, as well as the properties of the skin and the veins and arteries passing through the area. In no time at all, the area was completely healed, and Dani was standing next to the girl. She hadn't needed to get close to use her power; it was long-range healing essentially. "Are you okay now?" she asked, grabbing a nearby chair. |
|
((Sorry I haven't been on guys. :sweat: I've been really busy with school work and stuff. And Blacklash, Zafiri's character didn't get close to Nyx, she stayed away and healed the wound from a distance. ;)))
Tali saw Karakura's gauntleted hand come at her, and ducked down to dodge before twisting into a spin kick directed at his thighs. All of this was a fluid motion, brought on by her martial arts training. After her kick, she continued her assault relentlessly, throwing punches and directing kicks at every open spot on his body; every time he blocked one spot, another spot was being targeted. Using his stamina made it so that she didn't have to worry about growing tired nearly as fast. Her tiny body didn't use nearly enough energy to hugely impact her stamina. |
((Oh, she said "ran over to the girl" So I assumed close enough >.< Since they were in a room already.))
|
((What's the range on that anyway? That would probably help a lot. :D))
|
((Like Leech, a few meters away I would think in a regular state.. Whatever is not God-modding by your book i'll go with. I said touch before, because she was physically drained. I would assume when someone is on the verge of collapsing, they loose a bit of power too. But instead I had Nyx focus on one of her powers at the chopper. Offense instead of defense. Now though, she has gotten time to relax, and eat. Giving her some energy back to focus more. What do you think? Or should I just change the whole thing?.. and type less xD))
|
((Okay, two to three meters sound good at regular conditions: full night's sleep, three square meals, regular exercise. We'll just say that her range had decreased to a little under a meter, though it's steadily increasing again, m'kay? :)))
|
((works for me. Should I still edit my post?))
|
((You can if you want to. :) I'd say not to worry about it. :D))

"That's... unique Bielle," Zenl said smiling, taking note of her warning about angering her before turning toward Malcolm. "A sound technician is a person who works with speakers, microphones, and sound boards, or sound waves in general. My power is manipulation over sound waves, so the title was a given." He watched as Malcolm welcomed Bielle before he noticed activity inside.
"I think they started the meeting. We'd better get in there Bielle," Zenl announced, grabbing her hand and dragging her through the double oak doors. |
Bielle smiled a little then stared at Zenl. She was then suddenly pulled into the City Hall through the door walking through the big hall passing big pictures that seem to move and come to life. Bielle looked around then back at Zenl, "D-Do you really think they will let my parents come here?" she asked walking behind him as they walked through the hall.
