Kino and Enma "This is fun, Nee-san!" Enma exclaimed excitedly, as their combined efforts managed to bring down two monsters, who leave behind malevolent skulls brimming with morbid energy. Enma collects the items with interest and presents them to her sister, "Can I keep them? Pleeeease?" "No. Whatever such things may be, they rest better still in the hands of that researcher." Kino points to the researcher behind her before she extends her hands, gesturing for her sister to hand the skulls over. She had examined the actions of her colleagues along as she fought, reali

Venus Even after a series of attacks, the Helicopter still maintains its functionality; Venus reprimanded himself into the arrogant thought that destroying the motors would be an easy task, but glances in intrigue at the essence of the weapon Ana was using in particular, while preparing his next attack. It was not damaged enough to his liking to prepare his coup de grace yet. Venus fires his second Artful Flourish at the Helicopter.

Venus The active, airborne craft before Venus was a first for his eyes, exciting him as easily as it startled his attention. It's mechanism, at a glance, seemed simple enough, however -- two sets of rotating blades, on top and on the rear end, were what kept the mass of metal aloft. It was a practical invention for flight, no doubt -- yet with such a conspicuous weak spot, too. An enticed smile emerged, hidden from the hem of his mask, as he withdrew Whisper and allowed the vorfruede of the performance to spread within him. No longer was the novaturient artist subject to the bored,

Kino chants an ancient incantation before a ghastly figure of her very close liking, shrouded with heavy amounts of souls behind her, conjures before her -- Kino, knowing that they now needed to fight, releases Enma and her kindred of souls bound to her. "Go -- do what you will." "At last -- come, brothers and sisters! Revel in our time for adventure!" Ecstatic with her rare moment of freedom, Enma baltered as she floated about swiftly, enjoying the sensation of being able to move, and have fun, and to take all that she desired, albeit knowing that her sis

Kino Kino, having been distracted to appease to Enma's sensing of various lost souls in the vicinity -- partially out of need for the two siblings to spend some alone time -- wanders around and rejoins Mitsu; with the aid of her brethren of souls she barely manages to endure the obstacle course (her souls can meld with her grant her a relatively powerful resistance/amnesia-esque reaction to pain, but does not protect against physical injury; consider her having sprained a limb or two in the process), sensing the increased heat in the room as she arrives. "What's going

Repost of old TPOS character Speed: 2 [Debronee prefers to settle matters as quickly as possible, personal capabilities notwithstanding. Alas, he can only run and move on par of that of a normal human though his wings provide enhanced manuverability in the air.] Melee: 6 (Doubled from 3) [Debronee’s most distinct trait is his strength; the boy is as skilled a swordsman as he is a hand-to-hand combatant. Preferring close-up, hard hitting offense as a means for a quick finishing, Debronee’s mech provides him with enhanced physical strength, enabling his strike

Venus Bang. Bang. Bang. The sound of three trainers firing at targets befuddled Venus’ mind like a disorientated orchestra. It took practice to shoot well, but Venus could not resist the umpteenth tinge of contempt he had throughout his journey between these mysterious realms. Perhaps his fame had garnered arrogance with what it was due – he knew and cared not. Beside those who trained, a young man near his age of silver hair trained with an instructor in tow. Wyvis, he presumed, if he have had the inclination to remember that name, was practicing with an eye-pa

Kino Kino assumed that the activation of the pressure plate triggered the sudden rise of green matter in the pool -- yet it seemed that there was little to attend to that Jade and Mitsu had not, and, mildly lamenting on her being late, quickly but carefully crossed over the pool with the aid of her spirits, and followed the two near the other diverged path. A series of conveyor belts and a pit with an unseen end presented itself before her -- a prospect of which piqued Kino's curiosity somewhat, not knowing what laid there. Even for Kino, it all seemed so ominous. Afrai

Kino Kino, having been distracted momentarily to appease her sister's hunt for friends, catches up as she reaches and halts upon reaching an intoxicated pool. Seeing her subordinates on the other side, Kino leaps over, wanting to join them.

Kino As Mitsurugi decides to return to the temple to regroup with Kino's yet-to-be-seen future acquaintances and colleges, Kino was about to follow suit when Enma pestered her slightly. Kino-nee, you're getting attached to this girl, aren't you? It's been a while since I've had interaction with a real person. A pout of jealousy escaped Enma's disembodied figure. Nee-san, you're not telling me you prefer taking to live people over us? Of course not. Don't you miss our olden days when we were all still alive? I do, but the

Kino Noticing Mitsu's actions, Kino follows suit by seating herself in the pillar near the temple, then pointing the lens to the nearest tower, before searching for other towers, perhaps hidden somewhere. Kino notices several others, hidden beneath the veil of lush green forestry, and points toward their location.

Kino Kino watched as Mitsurugi operated the machinery that was presented before them, with several other pillars within a stone's throw away that presumably possessed the same function. Watching what the goddess (whom she lacked full certainty of addressing her as such) was doing, she raised a brow in curiosity. "Mitsurugi-san? What are you doing? Are you watching something?" She asked. Part of Kino itched to put the one pillar nearby the the Temple to use.

Kino Her people? The revelation surprised the nun slightly, wondering what an amount her people actually pertained to. So there are a lot of friends in this thing! Enma chanted excitedly, I'll go inside and try to talk them out- No, she corrected. If you go in there, you might have no way out. These souls willingly bind themselves to it, remember? It's likely that they aren't welcome to intruders, nor have reason to negotiate, either. The hasty Enma quickly turned silent, agreeing with her sister's discernment. Such bound souls were not worth r

Welp.

Kino See? All good things to those who wait. The unexpected favor enticed the two siblings equally. So there are friends ensnared in this thing? We must set them free- Not until we know what it is. Kino eyed the seemingly ancient sheathe handed to her; it seemed dubious for what it looked like, and, true to its owner's word, there was some form of magic...some form of ensnarement or binding that existed within the piece of metal, as if it were alive. Try hearing it -- connecting with it. A few moments passed with Enma in a rare silence before she

Kino As Kino set the note down on her tale, she noticed her sentient companion collecting orbs from crates as they spoke, raising a brow in curiosity at her current activity. Nonetheless, she agreed with Mitsurugi's opinion of people with wrong, deluded ideals producing the same results. It was then, however, that Mitsurugi had asked a favor of the nun, piquing her curiosity even more. "I would agree with you. Is there something you require of me? I shall aid you in any way I am able, as thanks for your little rescue earlier." Nee-san, you aren't going to be wasting yo

Kino “I was raised in a religious order of monks and nuns. Cult-like, perhaps, if you will. According to my guardians, my sister and I were abandoned at birth. The order said that my sister and I were prophecized to do unspeakable, horrible things....which would explain why our parents left us. Yet the order took us in, raising us to duties such as ceremonial burials, burial rites, cemetery duties, and the like. Our purpose was simple; to free lost souls left in this world, to aid those near death, and tending to the dead as well. This vial of water is but one such artifact bestowe

Venus Venus was wordless for most of the exchange that was currently ensuing between the two new individuals and the rest of the team. In matters alien to the artist, Venus listened more than he spoke or asked; the analytical and resourceful artist would suffice in gathering information solely from the inquisitive minds of the other members, only nodding in acquiescence in any instance he would be addressed. From what Venus had the attention and inclination to gather, Venus and his assigned group of subordinates were to aid their new acquaintances in a rescue mission, and to seek o

Kino Kino remained phlegmatic, her face unchanging for the whole journey even when Mitsurugi was assaulted by the wild snake. Finding a certain impression at her skill of killing the animal, her cogitations shifted to one of concern as she withdrew an old cloth from her belongings, wanting to heal her the injury the reptile had caused. "Are you hurt, Mitsurugi-san?" She asked, "Let me help you." If only she had missed or any other sort, Enma reawakened in her mind, in an almost pouting tone. She could have been one of us. Pray not of unnecessary

Kino Mitsurugi's words caused Kino to lose her smile. Knowing now that the woman before her was, indeed, a deity of sorts unknown to her, to say that she was a follower of another might ha Maybe it's time you introduced me, nee-san. Hush. Kino would always respond to her sister in an indifferent tone, always unphased, never bothered by her impertinent pestering. "I am neither a mage nor magus, or of any of such sort, I am afraid," Kino professed. "Mine is a power I have....adopted, or accepted as a result of some complex circumstances. I would

Kino "A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mitsurugi-san." Kino curtsied as she managed a smile. "If I may be so bold, though, Saigai-no-Kami? Are you by any chance named after a god or any other sort?" This girl fashions herself a god? Enma asked. Must be a fun one to play with. That, I find uncertain. Hush, now, Enma -- I will speak to you soon. Kino-nee, I sense friends in the northeast. Her sister pestered, delighted voices chanting in unison with her. They will not wait. Patience, sister. She replied, For until our exchange is

The Unnoticed Girl Latens had hoped that the approaching shade would rid her of that wraith, having successfully shoved her into it -- however, despite an exchange of agony and struggle, the black only served to enrage it as the darkness now coated the angered, wild wraith as it lashed violently at her. Fear reentered her bloodstream. She wondered if the black had done anything to the wraith's senses; after proceeding slightly further away from the Wraith, she stood still, wanting to take a second or two to see if the Wraith detected her through her movement, or if the

Kino Having exited the castle later than the others, Kino found herself caught in the arms of another, a rather beautiful girl of her racial heritage. Japanese, much like herself, her pair of golden eyes bearing the same hue of the nun's unblemished hair. She seemed rather similar to her, at a glance; both wore robes of a new grayed coloration, though Kino could see that the girl's naturally assumed the dull color, whereas Kino's ceremonial garbs, once a white hue that matched the purity of virgin snow, had withered into the gray as per the ages that passed with it, collected by stains of

The Unnoticed Girl Determined to have better timing this time round, Latens awaited until the wraith approached a certain distance before she turned intangible again. When it would go through her fully, she would attempt to shove it into the creeping darkness behind her again, her heart pacing faster and faster, knowing that there was little time before she could proceed forward....
