Oh, whoops. My bad.

How big is this AoE?

I'm not exactly doing this in a small area around you.

And you're stopping me how?

Binatica
The air around her briefly shimmers, and Rynn loses his direct control over the air around Lunaritina; depending on its nature, his aura would be either cut off from him or pushed out of her personal space.
I'm not controlling the air, at all. I'm controlling the heat energy, and the moisture in it. And even if somehow I couldn't control the "air" around you, I would still get boundaries to which I can execute my dome, which would decrease the time needed to do it.

Sorry TMJ, it seems we're bitching again.

As long as it's not flaming.

Use this thread to clarify between each other as much as you'd like, but in both of your best interests, try to keep it civil or else nothing will ever get done.

I'm a moderator: I'm here to keep the peace and move you if it comes to that. But I'm not a babysitter.

The AoE is two to five feet extending from her body. And it's not like you can get a very large area in your attack, otherwise it'd be almost harmless; certainly she woulnd't be feeling the force of the ice shattering unless it was pretty close to her.

Water vapor is part of the air, and the heat energy you're manipulating IS the heat energy of the air.

Also, Jello, I want a call on his three turns worth of actions in one post.

Ok then. My dome has its edge, and the attack still happens, in the time frame stated. Do you not understand that a longer time would allow for the great acceleration of each shard, thus making a stronger force of impact? It'd be more effective the way it is at the moment.

Call me on what? Call me on the way my character is built? Call me on my character's abilities and how he uses them? Call me on not being completely grounded by human limits?

I'm sorry, now you're just complaining about my character in general.

Furthermore, who decided that that was three turns worth of actions? As I see it, I had the time to execute each one within the time alotted. These are my three steps to my one post.

Sorry I'm late in responding, but I've been a little busy/distracted.

Though it seems you two aren't going to resolve anything on your own, so I guess I'll move it along.

Chrjo12
No, I'm telling you how logic works. You said you bled earlier, so something about you must be living. Freeze something living, it stops life. It dies. Making it warmer isn't going to change anything. It's still dead.
Thou shalt not dictate an opponent's unknown biology.

1) Make a dome out of a relatively small amount of water, when there is practically an infinite source in the atmosphere.
Are you a cold user, or a water user? Make up your mind. Moisture is water, not thermal energy. Condensation happens due to a cold object and warmer air, but condensation is very slow, and won't get you anything in 1 second.

2) Freeze it, with an aura that already exceeds the freezing point of water by 10 Celsius degrees.
Freezing takes time, especially if you're trying to make something solid and not mush. At -10 degrees Celcius I can spit and it still won't bounce. Believe me, I've tried it.

3) Break it, and direct the shards towards Lunaritina.
Again... are you a cold user, or a TK kid? You could break the ice through a difference in temperature, sure, but unless you can manipulate (read: move with your mind) water, ice, or any object from a distance (read: telekinesis, hydromancy, or... um... refrigeromancy?), you're going to make hail and nothing more, especially if the pieces are very small.

Steps 1 and 2 are not hard considering the work is pretty much already done. Step 3 is the only one where I exert any relatively large amount of effort. Speed is something Rynn has practiced, and he isn't a normal human.
Steps 1 and 3 rely on skills which you have neither confirmed nor denied having at this point.

I can pretty much give you a way to get out of it.
But I'm not.
Because if you can't get out of it, you don't deserve to.
It's not an insta-kill, unless you let it be.

Again, heat, nothing about water in there... and you aren't even pretending to have a reason for saying that you can do it faster. Why is that? Not even pretending to. You're just saying that you can.

Badda-Bin, either explain or use those three magic words.

Binatica
Also, Jello, I want a call on his three turns worth of actions in one post.
A post is one turn's worth of actions, no matter what is included in it. This is because one post is one turn. If they try too much, they get smacked down mid-action for taking too long, if they try to retcon things, you twist their balls and say "bad puppy".

Chiji, stop starting your posts from ten seconds before Badda-Bin reacts to your last post. Do the math. That means that your current post is overlaping in the time frame from your last post, which means either you abandon the actions you previously stated (which you cannot do because they are already stated and confirmed as a dedicated course of action), or your current actions aren't going to work, since you're already performing other actions.

Stop doing that. Srrsly.

Moot.

I'll call you on that one. How is your character built?

Thanks for the Q's. From extensive rp-ing, Rynn is a mix between an ice elementalist and a water elementalist while combining and perhaps mainly using temperatures to his advantage. They're pretty much interconnected. If you control water, you do control ice, and vice versa. Rynn started off a sole mage, then began exploring hydrokinesis and whatnot. He is most likely going to be worked on more after this tournament.

TMJ's 1st Points
1) The temperature and water control are seperate items. Water vapor is pretty much always present, and if you can manipulate water, I'm under the impression you can control it in all its forms. Gathering the water vapor in the atmosphere and condensing it forcefully grants normal water.
If I'm wrong, and am forced to edit, I am going to instead draw any water I may find straight from the opponent's body, through the wound I have made.

2) Freezing takes time by normal standards. The freezing Rynn uses is mainly his elementalism, supplemented by the aura, to accelerate the process.

3) Ice/water elementalist with Cryokinesis and Hydrokinesis. Might not be a good mix in the eyes of others, but that's what it is until after this tournament.

4) Confirmed.


Regarding second quote: Less time required to set the boundaries myself. If I just control what I am able to in a dome, my boundaries are set for me. Less thinking. Is that what you were looking for?

Regarding third quote: *flinches at the mutilation of his own name* Anyways, understood. I'm accustomed to fighting in which interupts are allowed. But...

Rynn's Previous Post
Rynn eagerly awaits his opponent, though his guard was never dropped.



I believe this allows for what I did. Surely Rynn would not just sit still and watch as an enemy transforms and makes a big gun? Especially when he knows he is comparitively weak against projectiles. That's my logic, if it is flawed, I'll do my best to correct it. Though I see no error...

Regarding the final quote, Rynn is speedy, goes for quick kills, and avoids long range fighting in general, preferring melee by far. He has practiced long and hard in the now-dead thread The Leage of Elementum and is capable of conjuring, freezing, and manipulating with ease. Anything he does, he does quickly, and with deadly force, never playing around. Anything specific either of you wanted?

Here are my only two questions:
1) Is there a profile I may see?
2) If not, just what species/race/whatever is Lunaritina?

You need to think less along the lines of "slinging mud into a pile against the wall" and more along the lines of "balancing a glass on the edge of a desk". There's nothing for you to throw stuff against, just a void. If you cross into it, things fall. You'd have to be more careful about setting up if you were trying to do it as close to the edge of the AoE as you could, which would make it go slower.

There is error if there is overlap.

There is overlap if her post was an interrupt (read: taking place during the timeframe of) for your last post.

Why? Because you superceded her post and apparently started before her. If she started in the middle of your action, and you started before her action, then aren't you starting at the beginning of your last action?

...additionally, in regards to "three actions in one post", tacking that sentence on to the end of a post after taking two actions in it already is more or less a moot point. It's like saying "I just ran a mile, I think I'll not go the extra thirty feet because I want to be prepared for what's ahead of me". If something's going to happen, it will likely happen in the middle of the post, because people aren't quite inclined to let bigawesomespeels go uninterrupted.

And, no, I'm not quoting anything for this, since I'm not taking any evidence from the thread. Just Bin's bitching on the note that you supposedly have been doing this for the whole fight so far.

Chrjo12
2) If not, just what species/race/whatever is Lunaritina?

Ok.

I suppose I nullify my own point on your first quote?

On the second quote, ok. Less big boom in a second, less interupt-y-ness. Ok. An edit is in order, no- a massive edit that is essentially a new post?

I could have sworn I saw blood somewhere...

*chills*....*then flinches*

Hell if I know.

I'm just telling you to make sure not to overlap.

If one persons says "before you do that I do this", and the other says "before you do that I do this", and then you say "before you do that I do this"... well, you're going back in time one step at a time.

Keep in mind your timeframes when making posts. That goes for everyone.

Your post, Gel.

You're kinda...I dunno, past time limit. OOC and IC.
