Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Tricks?" Alyssa murmured to herself, anger rising. Tricks? Well, death it was then. You didn't attempt to kill her without dying. She whirled, books falling to the ground, which annoyed her further, but it had to be done. Back to Lexi, she glared at the men behind them. Se would show them tricks... Quick hand movements are made, a few murmured words. There would be a bright flash, and three men would instantly drop. Their hearts had simutaneously stopped working. Alyssa made a square turn, Lexi's back now on her left. She muttered a short incantation, and the man she was looking at would suddenly find himself sick to his stomach, to the point where he feel like he would throw up. Unfortunately, he no longer had a mouth. So throwing up would result in something...unpleasant. He would drown in his own vomit. Alyssa's last spell was one that worked only, for some reason, on curves. They'd made a mistake, standing in a circle. With an utterance, the snow rose as if controlled by some insane wind, gathering against something unseen. Building. Until Alyssa forced it violently along the rest of the barrier, mowing over the remaining men trapped by the ice, save the burly man. He wasn't in the semi circle. The men would literally be buried in snow, but the barrier was some powerful magic, and it taxed Alyssa. "...do you need anything from the last one?" Alyssa murmured to Lexi. If not, she'd kill him.

((*Ponders* Was that...German?))
"Well...they shouldn't throw things at me..." Alyssa said, bending to pick up her books again, dusting snow from them. Her magical aura had barely been sensed, and it was gone again, masked. "I'd just like to know where they had come from...twelve cloaked, random muggers? Either they've been watching your store and thought it prosperous, or they are after you personally my friend." Alyssa stood straight again, shaking her head. "...let's return to the Muffin...it's cold." Face was impassive, as if the fight had not bothered her in the slightest. It was...creepy.

((Me either. I just thought it was German.)) "Hopefully. Hope doesn't help much though, does it?" She said, starting to walk again, stepping right over one of the three who'd died of heart failure. Her face was set. "The store should be better defended." She said, books hugged to her chest, blue eyes thinking. "I know of some spells...and I have an entire book full of security ones." She commented, walking at a slightly slower pace he might notice.

Alyssa nods. "Alright." She says, tired now. She would love to shake whatever mild illness she's caught, and yesterday. ((Switch forum?))

((hm.....in what thread is this based in?))
