I hope everyone's okay now! Cleaning up after all that is HARD but at least my house didn't get hit too bad... Does anyone need help with anything after last week? Oh, and speaking of my house, we just added a bunch of expansions! We've got an indoor pool now! Friends can come over whenever! I think I know most people on here anyway, and Mary-chan's got a bunch of friends too.

Also also! During that whole thing I tried the full shapeshift. You know, the dragon skill that changes you on the inside and not just the outside? I did it to be more giraffe than I already am because I thought it would help me fight. And it was like, whoa! I could see everything! And hear everything! And I kinda kicked a guy into a wall! Does anyone know how to deal with sensory overload if I ever do that again because it's kind of a lot and by kind of I mean a lot a lot.

P.S. Hina-chan's turning one on the 7th! If you're friends with her come over then! We'll have blood cake and regular cake.

{ this time he won't just wait and take it, as promised he does the opposite. he ducks his body down, the chain from his arm drawn as instead this time he aims for her legs to topple her over. }

[roundandaround]

[Rinku does fall, but she's prepared for this thanks to her training with Evangeline. She falls forward over Ezra and grabs at his shoulders while flipping forth onto her back, trying to yank him down with the momentum.]

[emanation]

{ unfortunately for rinku, people (or rather, demons) have often tried to do stuff like this. as soon as he can tell what she's trying to do he'll use the momentum and his own feet to kick up off the ground until he can flip backwards in the air, spinning, then kind of landing on his feet behind her.

it is a bit clumsy since he was lower to the ground, enough he does fall onto one knee after, but he isn't toppling down as well. he does laugh though, really not having expected it from her. }

Nice move.

[roundandaround]

[Rinku lets go in surprise. She looks up at Ezra and cheers.]

Whoa, you're good at this! Come on!

[She gets back up and throws a fireball at him, planning to rush to wherever he dodges to.]

[emanation]

{ don't boost his ego, rinku... he's overconfident enough as is. the way his smile turns smug says a lot about it. }

This is what I do for a living, I'd hope I would be.

{ but the next part when riku throws fire at him he isn't used to. he's practiced with creating it as well at this point but making it harmless, well there's a first for everything. he concentrates on the flame itself, reaching for it with his hand to try and catch it while focusing. she'll see the colour change, moving from the orange-red that flames usually are to something more of a softer yellow.



only he's so surprised at himself he does nothing to retaliate. he just stands there awestruck. }

[roundandaround]

[Rinku rushes him and does another strong kick, spinning on her heel to send him flying off to the side.]

There!

[emanation]

{ he's so surprised at himself it works--thankfully it isn't a full force kick like before where he definitely needed his shield and gabriel's powers to keep him safe but it still hurts like a bitch when he goes flying into the wall. }

Oof!

[roundandaround]

[Rinku winces. She undoes the shift and goes running up to him.]

Are you okay? Was that better?

[emanation]

{ from his place on the floor he just gives her a thumbs up. }

Good job...

[roundandaround]

[phew]

Do you wanna rest? It's kind of a lot. And I really hurt you.
