Prompt 4 (Snowbunnies): Winter seems to bring out the cutest of all rodents; this isn’t the first time that small, white rabbits have infested Destiny City. They’re small, rarely larger than a guinea pig, and have large eyes and wiggling noses. They are always pure white and seem to show up whenever there’s snow. They aren't menacing or evil, they're just everywhere. They seem strangely domesticated; they are sweet, curious, and friendly creatures that will eat anything you give them. They always seem cold to the touch, and when they shake, little snowflakes sprinkle off of them. While they seem to be social creatures who seem to appreciate anything warm and will cuddle up to steal body heat, they are too skittish and fast to be kept for pets. They can show up just about anywhere, either alone or--often--in pairs. They tend to wander off on their own without any trouble, but if you surprise them or try to catch or hurt them, they may bite. Their little teeth are enough to break skin, but after one bite they run away. The bite itself isn’t bad, but the effects are a bit unpleasant: for roughly two days after the bite, the injury is cold and the victim will feel random, cold, shooting pains. Their core body temperature will drop and they will often be sent into random fits of shivering. No medicine seems to help, and no amount of blankets or hot baths can soothe the chill. You're just going to have to deal with it and hope it gets better… Most experiences with the bunnies are perfectly pleasant, you just have to worry about them burrowing. There are holes peppering Destiny City, and with the fresh fallen snow it can be impossible to tell where they are hiding. The holes range from small holes to several feet deep, so can be a minor inconvenience to a potential hazard. On the bright side, sometimes you wind up covered in bunnies looking for warmth from their sudden guest. On the other hand, there are a rising number of trips to the hospital for twists and sprains. The bunnies always leave with the snow, so best to enjoy them--or avoid them--for as long as you can.

Ascella had heard some crazy tales about these bunnies going around. They weren't just any kind of bunny. They were white and most importantly magical! She originally wasn't going to try and find them. But, curiosity got the better of her and she decided to check it out. She set out to find these mysterious creatures.
So here she was walking around this park and looking for bunnies. She knew that white bunnies were rare and magical, so she was determined to find them. She was determined to find out what made them so special and what others knew about them.
Then out of the corner of her eyes she spotted one in the distance and made her way over. Ascella was mesmerized by the magical creature. She couldn't believe her eyes. "Hello there Bunny," she said softly as she got closer. As soon as she said that the bunnies began heading straight towards here, and like a stampeed they all pounced on her and knocked her down to the ground. As they covered her she looked like a giant mound of snow just chilling in the park.

Oia knew that her outfit was one that would be questioned if she went out and about even during the holiday so she wasn't powered up and she wouldn't power up unless she needed to. As Henny she had to bundle up to keep the cold away. She was wearing jeans and a black coat and scarf and hat. The city was chilly this time of year. She hadn't seen the snow bunnies before so she was curious about them. She headed to the place where they were supposed to be and she saw a mound of white and she was confused as to what was going on. Snow bunnies didn't eat people right? She moved closer and tried to get a look under the pile to make sure everything was ok and there wasn't a person under the bunnies pile being hurt. If she needed to she figured she would transform into Oia and start fighting the rabbits. "Hey, anyone under there?" She called loudly at the pile of bunnies.

Ascella heard a voice and was so happy someone was out there. How were these bunnies too heavy? They looked so fluffy and cute but in reality she was seeing now they were bundles of cute danger. That were covering her body from head to toe.
"Help me," she said as she tried to knock one bunny off her right hand with a hard shake. Sadly the bunny only went away for a moment before just bouncing back onto her hand. The bunny had seemingly unlimited energy, and she couldn't seem to get rid of him. How had her patrol turned into this? Was this normal around this time of year? or was it just the bunnies really liked her.
Part of her almost gave up, resigned to the fact that she had to live as a pile of bunnies. But maybe just maybe this person would actually be able to help her. "Help me, please," she tried to speak as loadly as she could with bunnies on her.

Oia laughed and then said "Don't worry I'll get you out." She reached into the pile of bunnies searching for the person's hand so she could pull them out of the pile of rabbits. "Grab my hand and I'll pull you out, come on there is no reason we can't win against a bunch of fluffy bunnies." She said shaking her head at the silly situation. They couldn't lose to bunnies that would be so uncool. So she had already decided they weren't going to lose. She didn't care what she had to do to win vs these dark fluff balls. She waited for them to grab her hand so she could haul them out of the mess they had found themselves in.

Ascella was so happy to have the help. She tried to free one of her hands she shook as hard as she could to get the bunnies off her arm. At least long enough to grab the others hand. She grabbed tight and said, "I appreciate the help. I never knew bunnies could be so well dangerous if that's the right word," she said as she waited and hoped she could be pulled out of this mess. She really didn't want the bunnies to hold her captive much longer.

Oia pulled them out of the pile of bunnies it was not easy but she finally managed the task of getting the bunnies off the figure. She smiled and said "Ah ha there you are, are you alright?" She asked looking them over to make sure they weren't all scaratched up. She didn't bother to introduce herself yet since she wasn't sure just yet if she was dealing with a senshi, knight or a civilian then said Oia was a pretty simple name so why not. "I'm Oia and who might you be?" She asked curiously. If they were a senshi or a knight Oia wouldn't mind doing a training battle with them she could always use the training and she always wanted to become more powerful so she could help protect the city better. The idea had merit. "So what's your story?" She asked curiously wondering if they would tell her more about themselves.

When Ascella got free she quickly dusted herself off. She was so happy to be out of that bunny pile. She smiled and nodded. "Thanks to you I am much better! Not sure I am getting around any bunnies for awhile." She laughed a little at her response but really after that bunnies looked totally different to her. She was so happy this person had come along to save her.
"Oh I'm Ascella senshi of tranquility and I was just out here on patrol. Trying to get some more experience in. How about you?" she knew that petting bunnies wasn't really experience but she couldn't help it because they were cute. The cuteness was the trap though and she realized that now. She also realized she really needed to practice. Since if this had been a nega trap she would have been in big trouble.

Oia smiled and then said "Nice to meet you, I'm Oia squire of the Cosmos." She nodded and then said "Yea doing patrols, looking to see what weird stuff is going on this holiday season, since weird stuff always happens, training when I can since you can never get enough training in. Since everyone needs to be on their toes to protect the city."

Ascella's ears perked up when she heard training. That would be a perfect way to get some more experience. "Nice to meet you too, Oia! I've never met a squire before" she said happily before agreeing with their comment. This city was definitely different. "Very true weird stuff does happen and we always have to be prepared."
That was when the thought hit her. They could maybe still get some senshi like stuff done if they maybe practiced together - like sparring. "I have an idea. Would you want to try sparing? The thought popped into my head when I heard training. I thought it might be fun to get some practice in." Part of her really hoped they said yes, since she sure needed some practice. Especially with the bunny attack and the snow attack. She was definitely lacking in battle techniques.

Oia smiled and said "It's nice to meet you too and sure why not I'm always up for a good sparring match, I hope you are ready I've been practicing."

Ascella was so excited to hear them say yes. She had only practiced on snow beasts as of late, but how different could it be?
So with that she said, "In that case lets go! Feel the tranquility flow through your soul!" She really hoped this worked as she had never tried it on anyone before, but she was determined.
She leaned her hand to her mouth and small crystals begin to form in her hand. As they began to form she gently whispered words of tranquility to them. They calmly began to flow towards Oia. Crystal Calming Whisper If successful opponent will pause for a moment and feel a calming sensation through their body. For a moment they feel tranquil and less inclined to attack. Almost questioning their current battle. this daze will last for 25 seconds.

Oia had never felt such a weird feeling of the calm that came over her when she was hit by Ascella's magic. She pulled out her bunny baton and cast her own magic when the magic was over. She liked her power it was a strange thing and a good distraction so she could attack. She channeled her magic for 20 seconds, enough time for her to run up and tap Ascella on the shoulder with her baton. Squire: Cane Oia raises her cane and a flash of light shoots out in a ten foot radius. Any enemy who catches the light will be stuck in an illusion for as long as she is channeling magic. They will feel as though they are trapped in an eternity of stars; they may feel as though they are all alone and are infinitely small and helpless. They may also feel as if they are falling through the illusion and will be pelted by shooting stars. The stars can give the sensation of being pushed or shoved. If she stops channeling, the sensation will end immediately but players can choose to take lasting damage. She can channel her magic for 35 seconds.

Ascella was so happy that her magic worked that she got distracted. That distraction caused Oias attack to hit her straight on. At first she thought it was beautiful with the stars, but then she felt trapped like she couldn't escape their hills. She took a deep breath and just counted down until the attack ended.
"Wow that was amazing, but I do feel a bit dizzy now," she said as she took a quick seat. "I had no idea such attacks existed. Thank you for showing me, sorry the match didn't last long, " She said a little embarrassed. She would have to practice way harder now.

Oia smiled "Don't worry about it, it was a fine match and it was great meeting you and I wouldn't mind hanging out another time if you like." She said in a warm tone.
