Two Shadows.

[Angel]

((This a private RP, please don't join unless invited. ))

*Angel steps out of the trees, wings arched up behind her to clear the brush, and into the space beneath a towering oak. she steps lightly and her leather boots make no sound, even on the thick leaf litter. she reaches the gnarled trunk and settles on an arching root to wait for her Sempai*

[Sephirothsicase]

Aaabout time you got here shortfangs.

*Seph was sitting on a branch of a tree with no leaves, he seemed to be stuck inbetween nice Seph and evil/twisted Seph. If she did not know him, he could have passed for a human, his fangs were missing.*

You take too long, and you are too noisy. You know that, dont you?

*He leapt out of the tree, and landed on the grass with a soft, wet "Thud". His appearence was of a small boy, about 10 years old, ranging from 120-140cm's tall, he was wearing red-tinted glasses with round lenses, his hair was short(Ish, for Seph.) Black, and spikey, most of it just above his shoulders. He was wearing what seemed to be a black suit, with a deep scarlet shirt and a pure white tie. He took the glasses off and folded them up before putting them into his chest-pocket.*

Now, what do you want?

[Angel]

*She doesn't flinch but slight annoyance at not seeing him but she realises that it is to be expected*

I cannot stop my blood from flowing, and that is all the sound I made. *She stands and walks to the patch of grass, she still makes little sound but she doesn't bother to silence her boots this time. She isn't wearing any armour for a change, just a tight pair of leggings and a black T-shirt, and hooks her weapons belts on a tree branch and she passes*

we haven't trained together in a long time, I humbly request your company. *she bows formally but the glint in her eye belies amusement* will you join me?

[Sephirothsicase]

Sure... Why not.

*The boy takes out a small black metal tin and plucks out a small, dark brown cigar. Seph was more than over the legal age, so he didnt really care. He placed it in his mouth before shooting a glance over at the woman.*

Do you mind?

[Angel]

no, no, of course not. *she glances at the tip of the cigar and a spark snaps from her fingers to it*

start from the basics? may as well...

*she concentrates and her hair shifts in colour from black and white to deep red and through to silver*

[Sephirothsicase]

*The small boy starts pacing slowly, a chocolate smell fills the air around him, along with a small amount of smoke from the cigar.*

Good, but that is the basic. Try changing you shape a bit, make yourself taller, shorter, make your hair longer, change the colour of your eyes, anything. Changing your nails and hair colour is easy.

*He puffs out a small plume of smoke out from the side of his mouth.*

Try it.

[Angel]

keh, hold you tongue!

*never the less she obeys and moves on to the next stage, sending raven black hair down to her ankles and her eyes sparkle silver, then green. she plays with her feather colour, sending waves of iridescence cascading down them, and lengthens and narrows them into falcons wings scaled up.*

[Sephirothsicase]

Mmm. Good enough.

I wont ask you to change your teeth, you wont be able to.

*He removes the cigar and taps it once, sending the ash onto the floor. His fangs had completely dissapeared, instead, in their place were a set of perfectly normal, brilliant white teeth. He places the cigar back to its place.*

Usually I would ask you to change your body shape about now, but I cant do that, you still fight like a human with wings.

*He shakes his head, his spiky hair moves once and flicks up, over his eyes. Much to Seph's distaste.*

Your muscles and nerves might not be able to react to the change, your brain might...snap for instance. So try something else, have you gotten that feeling yet? The state of almost nonstop deja vu? That is the 6th sense.

Can you feel it?

[Angel]

oh, yeah... that happened to me once, not something I would like to repeat.
*she shrinks down to his height and promptly sits down, unfamiliar muscles responding wrongly,*

That's real? I thought it was Embri doing something unusual, yes i can feel it now you've told me, what is it?

[Sephirothsicase]

Third eye of the midian.

*He leans against a tree, and raises his right hand to tap it once. A small apple falls from a branch which he grabs quickly. Before throwing it directly at her.*

Think fast.

[Angel]

Gah- *she mantles her wings around her to deflect it but it slips through the baby feathers and smacks her cleanly on the forehead*

what did you do that for?! *she snaps back into her normal form and towers over him. the effect is spoilt by her rubbing the spot where he hit her*

[Sephirothsicase]

*Seph smiles, looking at the face above his before sweeping his foot to one side and tapping a nerve in her ankle, it would fail her in a few seconds no doubt.*

We need more work on that one...

[Angel]

Dammit, Seph! I'll- *she steps back, cautiously rotating the ankle* but I asked you here so I cant rightly do anything. *She sighs*

what do you propose then?

[Sephirothsicase]

That you try to predict where the able will go. Soon enough, you will be able to read what action your enemy is going to do by the pure movement of energy to the muscle.

*He plucks another apple from the tree before moving around 7 steps away.*

Now, try to predict where it will go. And eventually it will kick in.

*He lightly tosses the apple towards her.*

[Angel]

*she sidesteps, not relying to heavily on her injured foot just in case, and snatches it out of the air*

You'll have to throw quicker than that, flying gives me quick reflexes and I don't need to predict at this speed. I did sense something though, just before you threw... like a ripple..
