The Forest of Airaisal was far from what one would think of as a "party scene." A quiet wood in one of Spirale's less high-tech branches, more a fantasy world than anything- far from the kind of place that attracted the hip, anarchic types like Ember. However, she had heard of a certain attraction within the forest, present only for a short time...and so, she had spent some time within this private glen, the ethereal blue glow of her flaming hair flickering across the clearing. There was a conversation to be had- one she wished she could've been on the other end of a long time ago...

"...just wish I had my real axe to show off. Not a metalhead alive that can shred like me." "Yeah, but like...that toy's weirdly pretty dope! I didn't think I'd be caught dead playing something like that outside of when I just started learning, but if you're supposed to be me, then..." "Only cause I don't have the real deal on me. The jerks running this town jacked my gear when i first showed up! I'd burn the place down to get it all back." "Whoa. I mean, I get it, but...kinda harsh, huh? Like, your whole pop-punk goth aesthetic is sick, and I guess I'll get more into that later, but it's pretty wildly different from what Ricky and the others do."

A tense silence hung thickly in the air.

"...You good? You look like you're about to flip your lid. What is it?" "No, it's...it's nothing."

Ember turned to pace away from the other girl she was speaking to...only for her eyes to draw up and go wide, her body freezing before dropping into a disgruntled posture. "Of all the stupid..."

✲ "Hey so... You just shouted "I'm going ghost!" and then your hair and clothes changed?" She felt like she'd just seen something she should have. Is that what you referred to as a "magical girl transformation"? It was something worth researching later but that wasn't really the point.

TK will be reserved for you!

they'll all be placed on hiatus for you!

Aki wasn’t really a fighter - not like so many other people here were. In the span of his year long stay in this place, he had seen so many people with fantastic abilities that felt like they came from right out of a novel. Maybe a movie, or something, too. 

Thankfully he was able to purchase something to help defend himself in this sort of situation, but his skills were better off helping people rather than fighting alongside them. Making sure those capable could keep fighting. 

Well, at least, he could try. It left him running up to people the second they seemed like they were having a hard time getting back up from being knocked down. It was tiring, running back and forth, but he’d hardly be able to call himself a doctor if this much was wearing him down. 

He was saving that fragment be bought for when he started to wear himself down too much, too. Hopefully that wouldn’t come - but seeing as the latest person he caught seemed like they were just a kid...it was probably going to be sooner than later. 

Well. This isn't very cool and sensei-like of him, is it? Dei blinks hard, trying to figure out when exactly he'd ended up on the ground. Or on Danny rather.

"Wow that was some terrible vertigo, un. I'm usually way better at managing that, yeah." The ninja is burning up and breaks out in immediate goosebumps where Danny touches him. He moves to sit up and promptly pales by several shades, only managing to awkwardly roll off the younger boy.

Her plans, however, would shift around a bit when something in particular caught her interest. Well, not so much something as someone. She was more used to seeing him in dorky spandex with his hair a flash of white rather than black, but she knew this form just as well. It was hard to forget the kid who’d pulled the plug on her plans twice, after all. If her powers were so weakened here, maybe his were too! She could at least torment him with her presence- there was no guarantee he knew she was weaker here too, after all.

Letting her feet lift just slightly off the ground- the one power she knew herself to still have- Ember drifted slowly across the way, making sure to stay out of sight from him. Notably, he seemed unaware of her presence, which, if she remembered his power set right, was a big point in favor of his powers being taken away too. She slipped through the crowds until she managed to get behind him, slowly dropping to the ground with a light clack of her boots.

“That ghost sense getting rusty, babypop?” A low chuckle escaped her. “Might wanna keep your head on a swivel.”

The ninja turns to make his way through the milling crowd of confused people and almost runs over a familiar face.

"Oh, hey Danny, un. What a weird day, yeah. Hey, do ghosts go to space, un? Because this is pretty wild for a ninja like me, un." He nudges a bit of debris with his foot and clicks his tongue. "I thought it was supposed to be put together better though, yeah. Shame."

He brightens though, giving the kid a sharp grin.

"We're supposed to go find our spiramonsters, un. Wanna come with me to look for them, un? Mine's a dragon and he's very cool and awesome no matter what anyone else says, yeah."
