Her Willhammer attack had failed. The Vilda Toroshu was still moving.

 

Sighing, Kaede activated her Huna once more and dashed forward towards Ashka and Relisai duo, sword raised above her head, ready to bring down on Relisai's body.

 

Kaede was going in for the kill. She wanted to end this now and forever.

Emerging from her stance, Chiyo looked around, confused.

 

Where had her mark gone?

"Y'can never be too careful," Saritsu said with an airy shrug, before flashing a well-meaning grin at Tetsu. "But if my sister trusts you, that's good enough for me. Let's try and get onto the right foot here, shall we?"

 

The Menti put her hand out, offering it for a shake.

 

"Welcome back to Casa Eiyu, miss Tetsu. Good to have you."

IC - Inazuma Tetsu:

 

Tetsu nodded, shaking Saritsu's proffered hand. "It's nice to be back," she said. "This is the closest place I have to home, and it's not often enough I get to spend much time here." She withdrew her hand, stretching, and then frowned at the pair just in front of her. "So, is there any news amongst the Toroshu and their retainers that the common folk - and those of us who no longer really belong to any group - might not be privy too? I know some of what is happening, but I want to know the full picture."

[Keeper of Kraata]

IC: With the blur of the realm of the mind and reality, Askha didn't notice the Huna-user activate her mask; she did notice the running on the cobblestone of the alley. It didn't take a tactical genius to put two and two together. The targets were either her or Relisai... and she hadn't really annoyed these Menti enough to warrant a stealth attack.

 

"Relisai, look out!"

[Toa Fanixe]

IC:

 

"Relisai, look out!"

 

The Vilda Toroshu hadn't needed the warning. Like any well trained Menti, she knew that a darned Sighteye illusion like the one that had been cast on them held but two purposes: to slow down the victim and to open them to attack. All the warning achieved was irk her even more than that incessant high pitched whistle. Relisai swore she would flog the first Sighteye back home that ever dared do the same to her during a sparring session.

 

Before Ashka had called out Relisai had already been readying herself for their next move. There were few ways to combat a Sighteye illusion, but Relisai didn't care for any of them now - they were too time consuming. No, Relisai would simply run away. 

 

She closed her eyes, envisioning the street as it had been seconds before.  Long and narrow, before splitting into a fork in the distance.

 

With a mighty surge of her Mindarm powers, she hurled both herself and the Mashtet sellsword beside her forward and into the air, over the heads of a curious onlooker or two. As she left the ground Relisai heard the clink of metal on stone - Ashka had been right, the Huna user from before had been about to strike. That didn't matter now. They were a distance a ways from her, and the worst of the Sighteye illusion. Like all Menti disciplines, Sighteye had a range to it - psychic energies could only be controlled from so far away. The greater the distance, the weaker the discipline.

 

They landed, Relisai nearly stumbling but managing to stay on her feet. She knelt to the ground, panting. Throwing herself and Ashka such a distance, had been taxing. Still, it had been worth it. The whining was a only a quiet whurr now, the inversion of directions greatly reduced. The sky was normal though it held the mostly faded image of the street, and vice versa, while there was a similar effect on her left and right.

 

She raised herself, fierce determination on her face as she stared at Ashka. She still breathed deeply.

 

"Lead on" she said. Relisai followed after Ashka towards the Docks.

OOC: I think it fair to say that the previous display of mindarm powers is beyond reasonable.  The effort required to lift oneself, let alone two people, should be enormous and leave Relisai in no condition to get away with any kind of speed--even if it is possible.  I will await any judgement.

 

IC:

 

[sado, Market District]

 

Yukie grasped at empty air as the menti’s kakama activated--sending her straight into a building.  One of the Hogo guardwomen followed after her.  That’s one down.

 

Relisai and the other sellsword then tried, rather pathetically, to flee, but they were apparently slowed down by the Eiyu warrior’s illusion.  In a split second other Hogo guardswoman vanished, and the sellsword yelled “Relisai, look out!”

 

He sense Relisai reaching out with a rather strong willhammer command toward Higashi.  He ignored it, Relisai’s concentration would likely be disturbed by what was about to happen next.  He dashed forward again, aiming to catch the old Vilda in an arm grab and tug her away.  If he was lucky, he could apprehend her and prevent the irritated Hogo from doing something too drastic.

Edited May 19, 2015 by Mel

[Krayzikk]

OOC: There are actually a multitude of issues with that post. Firstly, as was noted earlier, moving oneself with Mindarm is incredibly difficult. Throwing oneself like that is beyond the realm of what should be feasible. Even if it was not, I think you misunderstand exactly how disorienting it is to have all of your senses inverted. Every way you would normally react only serves to unbalance you. Even if Relisai could have thrown herself that way, landing would have been outright impossible, given that her senses are actually telling her gravity is pulling in the exact opposite direction that it actually is. Additionally, the landscape is featureless, which means that there is no point of referfence whatsoever.

Even if Relisai had memorized the street layout (which is exceedingly unlikely), she has no point of reference. If, for example, you were to look around the street outside your house and then close your eyes and try to navigate it, it wouldn't work. Scaling your actions is impossible.

The most grievous error, however, is in the misunderstanding of how a Sighteye illusion works. It targets the senses, not an area of effect. Yes it has a range; that range is whether or not the Sighteye can tell a mind is there. Which means that even if all else in that post were possible (which it is not), Relisai would still be trapped in the illusion.

She could only pray that there would be a relatively thin spot of trees close to her. If she had to navigate her way through thick shrubbery, with a dragon (or two) on her tail...

 

IC

 

The deep, harsh growls of the two dragons' communication were faintly audible behind Sora and Vazaria even as they fled: the female's almost plaintive at the loss of her egg, the male's sharp and aggressive, both equally wrathful.

 

And then they were up, snaking up into the sky like many-coloured banners and hurtling down the mountainside with terrible speed. Even with the Kakama and the Kadin, the dragons gained swiftly on their targets: the male bearing down on Vazaria, exposed above open ground as she was, and the slimmer and more maneuverable female chasing Sora as she ran for the cover of the forest.

Masayoshi took several deep, calm breaths to revel in the peaceful afternoon - even if it was one she couldn't see. Unbeknownst to her, the sun was just starting to deep in the sky, first smears of red and yellow painting the sky of Sado. A few Menti were strolling through the Garden, but most took no notice of her or nodded politely when passing with their friends or sparring partners. The smell of lavender, pine, and fruit clashed in the breeze, forming something altogether pleasant if slightly alien. A bird sang overhead. 

 

It was a beautiful day.

 

A bird sang overhead.

 

.:Some speech, ye?:.

 

Behind a crystal visor, Masa's ruined eyes widened imperceptibly. 

 

.:Wouldn't have missed it for the world. I can't believe they never even looked twice at me. Lucky break, huh?:. Desdemona Umbraline's Willhammer tag, normally so resolute, so thunderous, wavered thick with emotion. Wherever she was, she was crying.

 

.:Don't look for me. Please, Masa, do me this favor. I should...I should be back. And we'll do tea. I'll explain why I left...if it doesn't get out beforehand. If it...in case I...well, just get some tea ready. And I'll do my damnedest.:.

 

She was a good princess, and when she gave her word she meant it.

 

Masa's Arthron was going wild looking for her; she had to be somewhere in the Gardens, but...

 

The unmistakable sensation of thin arms wrapping around an abdomen took her from behind; a slightly strong chin was being nestled into her collar. 

 

The fleeting sound of an adolescent's single sob carried in all directions through the Gardens; Des had amplified them with her Sighteye ability, just as she had skillfully faked the embrace. She'd made Battlemaster last month.

 

"I'll miss you either way," said a shaky voice, before the illusion abandoned her all at once. Masa couldn't see the rustle of the foliage to her 4 o'clock, but she could hear it. By the time she turned and made her way there, she could smell the dirt and grime of the Markets, with a hint of Des' old perfume, but any footprints the Chojo had even left tapered off when they reached a bed of rocks. Clearly she'd walked on them to avoid leaving a further trail.

 

She had vanished like she was never there.

 

It's a beautiful day, wailed a bird overhead.

[Toa Fanixe]

ooc: Sorry about that last post, and for the lateness of this one, but thanks for providing feedback and explaining the intricacies of the Menti disciplines. Truthfully, that last Hanabe post with the illusion was a little hard for me to conceptualize.  I hope this one is better.

By the way, Tyler St. Francis, Relisai Willhammered Higashi previously. Not sure if you've taken that into account?

 

 

IC:

 

Relisai blinked, trying to make sense of everything. She really hated Sighteyes. She knew what was likely to happen next, an attack from one of those fools that blindly served their Empress whom they knew nothing of. What sad, pitiful creatures they were. Relisai unsteadily assumed a defensive stance, trying to listen over the incessant whirring noise for footsteps that signalled an incoming attacker.

 

The Vilda Toroshu heard a noise. Someone running? 

 

Before she could properly move of the way she felt a Menti grab her arm and pull her to the side, following by a loud clink of crystal on stone.

 

Relisai growled. These crazed fanatics were trying to kill her! She wrenched herself from the apprehending Menti's grasp and slammed forward with telekinetic force to push Yukie away.

 

 

 

"Oh dear" Robalta whispered to Raiyo. "I was afraid all this would happen" she told the maidservant. The pair had caught up to Ashka and Kavina and were now watching the battle for Vilda leader's freedom from behind the corner of an alleyway. All this pointless fighting sickened the Datsue -why couldn't they all just get along? Roberta's heart dropped when she saw Relisai and Ashka stumble in the middle of the street, frozen. It didn't make sense, why weren't they moving. Then there was a lot of movement , and Relisai was still glaring around like a blind woman. Like a blind woman...

 

"Be ready to help get the two of us out of here." Seeing the distraught looked on Raiyo's face, Robalta placed a reassuring hand on her arm and squeezed lightly. "Don't worry, we''l be fine."

 

Taking a deep breath, Robalta reached out with her mind. She'd noticed one consciousness that stood out. The Vilda elder begin slinking subliminal thoughts into Hanabe's mind. :Stand down. Conserve your strength. Sighteye is overkill here, Relisai is taken care of, see to the safety of others here.

[Mel]

OOC:  As I understand it, Willhammer requires active participation on the part of the user. Relisai had enough things detracting her after she willhammered Higashi for her suggestions to be noticeably diminished, if not erased.  From the starting post: “Mental entry is, in its nature, a one-sided negotiation of wills; as such, it does not work automatically” also: “Their discipline also requires much concentration, and as such restricts most bodily movement.”

 

[sado, Market District]

 

Yukie had been expecting some sort of retaliation from Relisai, but he was honestly getting really tired of people trying to mindarm him out of the way.  He spun sideways to absorb the momentum.  As Relisai was positioned, she had her back to the wall--nowhere to run.

 

“Miss, please restrain yourself from trying to slice the Toroshu in half. Torushu, I believe a just saved you from grievous injury.  I think it would beneficial for all here if you stopped resisting now.”

 

Just then he detected another willhammer thread, much smaller and subtler than Relisai’s.  It was aimed past him, at what he guessed was the Eiyu warriors mind.  Still facing Relisai, eyes narrowed, he send out his own consciousness.  The delicate crystal petals entered the warrior's mind, slicing through the threads of suggestion and forming a snug cocoon over the surface of her thoughts.  The person who was sending the thoughts was clearly skilled, but they weren't pressing hard, so it was easy enough to defend against them.

 

:Whoever you are: he said for all to hear.  :I doubt you have the power to make a difference in this conflict.  Reveal yourself.:

 

"So, any place you would like to stop before going to Oki, Shuuan?"

 

[sado, Ferry Dock]

“I’d like to swing by one of my clan shops to drop this off before it stains permanently,” I said, gingerly holding the bloodstained scarf--now free from Jiyu’s arm.

 

She signed the document with her name and title, then dripped a blob of wax beside it and pressed in her signet ring. She blew softly on the red seal to cool it, then folded the paper in half and passed it to Hatchi.

 

"Here," she said. "Show this to anyone who questions your right to passage through my lands, and they will let you pass."

 

 

[Odaiba, Mahuika Hall]

Hatchi bowed deeply to Kilanya as she took the paper.  “Your actions are exceedingly generous, great lady.  I am deeply ashamed I cannot do more.  I will convey your wishes to my Toroshu as soon as possible.  Now--” she stood up again “-with your leave, we would like to return to our humble caravan, for the night is cold.”

 

It's a beautiful day, wailed a bird overhead.

 

[sado, Imperial Gardens]

 

Masa was not the only one taking to The Gardens after the Rora’s speech.  Plangori Morie often found them a relaxing place to ponder the latest political developments while composing an ink painting of the abundant flora.

 

She was preparing her pallet with water and an ink stone when she detected the unmistakable pull.  She nearly dropped her supplies.

"Revolution." The Toroshu answered simply, crossing her arms with a casualness at odds with her station. "In the simplest of terms, that is. Whether it will remain peaceful is yet to be seen. The Dastana have seceded, and a few others have gone with them. They feel the Empire's ways are beyond reform, and that the Rora has no right to rule them."

 

"What I heard as we passed through Sado was that her Highness would not take action against them, but did not condone their actions."

 

IC:

 

Hanabe's eyes narrowed as she exercised all the force of her will to maintain the proper illusion on both Ashka and Relisai. The Menti was unable to act against them directly, not without letting them escape the illusory construct she had placed around them, so she would have to rely on others.

 

Her other half's presence would have been excellent.

But she made a mistake. Two, actually.

 

She told me not to follow.

 

And whether she realized it or not, she told me where she was.

 

And she was scared.

 

I pivoted on the spot, waling swiftly back towards the palace. I had a few things to retrieve, before I went after her. And I would go after her.

IC: "Hey! Hey! Quit manhandling my meal ticket!"

 

A grimace spreading across her mask, Askha reached out to grip Yukie with Mindarm, and yank him both away from Relisai and towards herself. She readied her saber to slash at the Menti when she was pulled within range.

 

IC: Raiyo peered at the battle from around a corner. "What could I do?" She looked around, examining the environment.

 

IC: Somei sighed. "The other two, Askha and Maripi, operate as sellswords. They are currently in the employ of Clan Vilda, trying to rescue someone, their Toroshu if I am not mistaken. I fear for them, but I'd rather help them than the two run off on their own. The explosion was a surprise to all of us."

[Mel]

OOC: I have made edits according to how the staff informed me.  Yukie is not in immediate danger of death; Relisai and Askha have done nothing so far except shove him around with mindarm while they are both blind and balance impaired.  He is from a clan that specifically focuses on detecting willhammer usage, and he is in the middle of battle--where he would certainly be prepared for activity both on the mental and physical plain.

 

[sado, Market District]

 

“If anyone’s been manhandled here,” said Yukie wearily as he braced himself again the tug of mindarm.  “It’s me.”

 

Keeping the ally of the Vilda out of Hanabe’s mind took little effort enough that he was able to resist the pull of the mindarm.  It helped that Hanabe's mind recoiled from the suggestions.  He wasn't surprised--it was hard to make someone do the nearly exact opposite of what they wanted to do.

 

Resisting the mindarm was just like leaning into a particularly strong wind, but for safety he activated his mask, the shimmering pink shield coming to life again on his left arm.  Under the influence of the illusion, Askha was actually pulling him to the right instead of straight at her.

 

“And I doubt the Vilda are going to be much of a long term investment for you, sellsword,” he said, looking back at Relisai.  “The Dastana obviously want nothing to do with them, and everyone knows they hold most of the wealth.”

Could staff clear this up?

"Actually, I'm the one that's been manhandled, and I'll say right now I haven't appreciated it" Relisai said, still angry that her senses were being replaced by some idiotic Sighteye."

 

She reached out again with her Mindarm, creating a quick pulling force on Yukie's ankle to bring him to the floor. For a moment.

 

 

 

:This is too tiring. The others can take of everything. Go find the Dastana: Robalta continued to silently Willhammer into Hanabe's mind.

​"Don't you have somewhere better to be?" she asked the Empire's pets.

[Keeper of Kraata]

IC: Raiyo pointed at the storm drains. "I think those lead out to the bay. It's not going to be fun, though..."

 

IC: Again, Somei shrugged. "Honestly, my interest in politics has significantly waned since the days when I traveled the Archipelago visiting clans to renew their Mashtet carvings. We have been lucky not to have to deal with this 'civil war'... but that times appears to be at an end."

 

IC: Askha continued feeling around with her Mindarm and her other senses. She got nothing.

 

It would really really suck if someone shot her with a crossbow or something.

IC: Saritsu - Eiyu Castle Grounds

 

"Guessing that's the reason you left?" Saritsu asked, crossing her arms over her chest. 

 

:Keep an eye on me, sis,: she said to Nihonei. :This one might be a bad influence on me.:

 

-Void

 

IC - Inazuma Tetsu:

 

"Yes," Tetsu replied, her face quite serious. "I'm rather tired of the outdated caste system, the government, the infighting between clans, all of it - and don't try to tell me it doesn't exist, because we just got to see it," she growled to the two of them. "The government especially. It's quite ridiculous and I can't say that, in my view, it works all that well. Sorry, Nihonei."

[Toa Fanixe]

IC:

 

Robalta peered downwards, moving only her eyes while the rest of her body was motionless as most of her concentration was focused on keeping together the Willhammer energies. She saw the storm drains Raiyo was pointing at. It might be a tight fit, but Robalta knew her sister would fit. 

 

The Datsue smiled.

 

"My dear Raiyo, you're an angel! Do you think you can ran out there onto the street and lead Relisai and her friend by hand into the drains? I'll work to keep the guards busy."
