Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( Actually, yes. About 90% of my character is based on his being able to control his energy enough to live right under the noses of the most powerful Shinigami for a very, very long time without them noticing the fact that he is very strong indeed (gotta balance the power somehow; so I avoid using it except for story stuff). Would you mind not having your character penetrate my character's disguise? ))

...

The other 10%, if you were curious, is flipping a coin to decide what to do.))


"Clap clap." Rednal said, smiling widely beneath his mask, clapping as he did so. He glanced at the wall that had been damaged, then looked up at the ceiling, as if wondering if it was going to fall on top of them. Which was a fairly reasonable reaction for anybody who was inside of building that had one wall blown out and another scraped with big gouges. Rednal looked at his hand curiously, then pointed at the wall and grinned widely as he moved his finger horizontally, creating a thick gouge in that area as well, before stopping due to further concerns about compromising the structural integrity of the building. "So I have, like, super claw skillz. Cool!" You could actually hear the 'z' being pronounced in the way he said it.

Which didn't actually explain how the gashes had appeared BEHIND the guy. Shockwaves didn't tend to go through one thing and hit something behind it. And no power had been felt in the spaces where the attack would have had to go through, like it had never crossed space at all. Which was clearly ridiculous. Still, Rednal got onto the walking machine. He fell off of it about a minute later, panting heavily. "Light, what's that thing made out of? Some sort of Deathstone?" he moaned.

My Eyes Can't Be Hazed.

Takashi groaned. He'd saw all he could; His thoughts about everyone were correct, especially Shigoro. Staying in the warehouse any longer would put him to sleep from boredum, so he simply stood, concealed his zanpactou within his coat, and began to leave without a word.

My Soul Can't Be Swayed

((I know, just seeing if anyone else it alive in here -_-))

My Eyes Can't Be Hazed.

Takashi stared at the wall. "Lovely." He sighed and kicked at the floor with his toe slightly. Now all he could do was wait... fantastic.

My Soul Can't Be Swayed

Toumaru Evangelle

"Oh...A barrier. Phooey." Touma said to himself, noting the strange spiritual pressure surrounding the warehouse district. Given its history, he could only assume that the inconsistincies were indeed some form of shield against invaders- And that some vizard was perpetuating it. Though, he had to admit, knowing such things wouldn't hlep him in penetrating the barrier. So, with a sigh, he simply sat his a** down and waited for someone to greet him. It wasn't like he had anything better to do, within the Soul Society or otherwise. Nothing much seemed to happen there anyway. "And what little taste of earth I've had, I have so enjoyed!" The sarcasm almost toxic in his voice, a faint scowl enveloped his lips. It was not a happy thing, to be alone.

((For the record, I am outside the barrier. Didn't know if you wanted company for the training or not, so I figured I'd wait.))

"Huh." the female voice said. Rednal's hands were lifted, then came down together in a slashing motion for form gashes all across the clone thing. This wasn't even a serious attack, of course. It was more a question of whether this thing had a set power, or if it was trying to mimic her strength as well. By now, the power level Rednal's Hollow Side was displaying had reached about the level of a Lieutenant, and the strange gouging technique was getting to the point where it could actually hurt you if it hit.

"Seriously, is that all?" the girl's voice said as Rednal's body smoothly slid to the side to dodge the attack the copy had launched. Well, at least she had gotten some solid information out of that. While this thing looked like Rednal, it clearly did not have his powers, since it obviously had no idea how Rednal's powers actually worked... as was evident by the wide gashes that had appeared on its chest. It was just trying to copy what it thought she was doing, which was a long ways from actually getting it right. In other words, even though it looked like Rednal, it was far from a real clone. On top of which, powering it couldn't have been easy; energy didn't just appear out of nowhere, and with Earth so lacking in ambient reishi, the summoner guy had to be supplying the huge majority of the thing's energy himself if he wanted it to keep up with her. Not half as impressive as it could have been. Just a cheap copy. "Hadou #63: Twin Lotus Blue Fire, Crash Down." the voice said as fireballs appared above each of Rednal's hands and launched towards the target. The voice continued talking, but too quietly to be heard.
