WAOA Arena

[Gearhead mk2]

Kenna held out one arm, which slowly grew fur and claws, transforming into a wolf-like appendage. "I can shapeshift a bit, I'm a lot faster and tougher than a normal person, I have better senses, that kinda thing." She flexed her transformed arm, clenching and unclenching the clawed hand.

 

[DotSlash]

Pix sighed a small bit in response before letting herself relax by slowly letting herself melt into a small puddle. [color=80bb00] "I see then... So what to do....?" [/color] Looking back to Solaris, she chuckled. [color=80bb00] "Well, I've seen those kinds of implants and marking on others arms before. And they act in almost a similar way to how that girl was." [/color]

[hr]

Ness blinked as she put her game on pause. She looked over toward Patrick and nodded. [color=666666] "Alright then... What did you want to talk about?" [/color]

 

[Random berk]

Ragnar got sharply to his feet as Kenna's arm began to turn, one hand going reflexively to the mammoth ivory handle of Kraken's Tooth.
"Morkai's Breath!" He exclaimed with shock, then stared at Kenna in confusion when the transformation terminated at her lower bicep and she explained her abilities. "But... what? It stopped!"

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Well, I always like to learn about others, so are you religious? Or even spiritual?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I can keep a lid on it." Kenna said. She focused, and her arm returned to normal. "There are downsides though. Silver and wolf's bane burns right through me, and I can't always control it. If I get too excited or supress it for too long, I lose control for a while. I've never totally lost it, but..."

 

[Random berk]

Ragnar's expression went slack.
"Wait... you... you can control it? Even if you do completely lose control... you can still become human again? The change isn't permanent?"

 

[Chungus]

"Hmm. I'll take for word for it. When I said my world wasn't as technologically advanced as this one, I didn't lie." Solaris responed, then paused as she ran her fingers through her hair. "As for what to do... We can start by etching some of the transmutation circles in you. After that, maybe practice moving as one some more." She answered.
[hr]
"You could say that? So you're not entirely, or what?" Eddie questioned.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Like I said, I've never completely lost control. But there's always this... pressure in my head... sometimes I feel like I could lose it at random." Kenna seemed scared of herself. "And if I do go all the way, I know that I won't be coming back. I've seen it happen."

 

[DotSlash]

[color=666666] "...I'm neither religious nor spiritual." [/color] Ness said, scratching the back of her head. [color=666666] "I can't believe in something whose existence that hasn't been reliably measured." [/color]

[hr]

[color=80bb00] "Woohoo~ More goo girl sketchboard time!" [/color] Pix said in slight deadpan. [color=80bb00] "And what do you mean more moving more as one? You wear me like clothes, pretty sure you don't tell coach those things into moving with you." [/color]

She blinked a bit before asking [color=80bb00] "...So when you said that you guys weren't technologically advanced, what's the latest thing that came out in your world?" [/color]

 

[Random berk]

"And there is no way to control it that you know of?"

 

[Chungus]

"If you have any other suggestions, let's hear it." Solaris commented after blowing a small sigh. "And by moving as you, I mean your preforming a transmutation on my cue, and preforming mid-range attacks when needed. It would be odd if I needed to give verbal instructions there."

When Pix asked her second question, Solaris hummed softly as she thought. "That would be... automail. Those are the mechanical prostethic limbs I mentioned earlier. They've been around for some time, but it as seen a real boom in the last ten years or so."

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Is that what spirituality means to you?"

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I control it by blowing off some steam every now and then. Get in a fight, do some exercise, something physical like that. By letting it out in small amounts, I can stop it from getting overwhelming. But there's no permanent control method I know of, and the only cure was suggested by someone I don't really trust."

 

[DotSlash]

[color=666666] "What happens to my 'spirit' or whatever you call it once I die doesn't matter to me. As long as I get done what I want to get done, I'm fine with whatever happens afterward, be it nothing or going to Hell." [/color] Ness said, looking Patrick in the eyes. [color=666666] "That only helps to deepen my lack of concern about the afterlife." [/color]

[hr]

Pix slowly rose up out of her puddle and looked toward Solaris, shrugging a small bit. [color=80bb00] "So prosthetics are the newest thing...? That's a while back to me..." [/color] She sighed a bit in response. [color=80bb00] "Sorry for not enjoying being drawn on terribly much, but yeah, I understand. Let's get started." [/color] Pix waited for Solaris to extend her arms before flowing back onto the woman.

 

[Random berk]

Ragnar grinned darkly.
"Getting in a fight helps you to control it? That doesn't sound so bad. I enjoy a good brawl myself. Any Space Wolf does. Perhaps you have more in common with some Wulfen than you think. I have not met too many humans off of Fenris who could handle their curse like that." He glanced up at Kenna again.
"Someone suggested a cure? What was it? Come to think of it, who was it?"

 

[Outisakanobody]

"Well, while I'll grant that the question of the afterlife is a big one, there is more to a spiritual life than just that."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"More just anything that releases adrenaline, I think. I could probably skydive and get the same effect. But I do like a good fight. I was actually training for MMA before all this happened. And the cure, the one who suggested it was someone that I had just beaten in the arena. Name's Carmen, I think. Silver hair, bat wings, weird eyes. She kept on tempting me to give in to my wolf side. The cure she suggested was a lotta hemlock or an exorcism, but she mentioned that the rules are different where she comes from, so they might no work for me."

 

[Chungus]

"Yes. Research into technological advancement has largely been put on the back burner, so to speak, in favour of alchemical research. At least, that's what it's like in Amestris. I don't know if the same applies in other countries." Solaris commented. "And how advanced is your world?"

As Pix rose up and assumed her humanoid form again, Solaris moved off the bed, and opened her arms. After Pix molded herself around Solaris, she moved infront of the vanity mirror, picking up the pen on the way. "I can understand that. But after this, there won't be any more need to do it." She commented. After looking at the reflection in the mirror, Solaris pointed to the transmutation circle already present on the breastplate. "Can you move this one down?"

 

[DotSlash]

[color=80bb00] "Well... humans have things that allow them to clone one another or even add on parts from animals to themselves... so... making Chimeras without alchemy, I guess." [/color] Pix said, thinking for a bit. [color=80bb00] "They've got weird boards that people stand on and allow them to fly around in the air like birds and stuff. Floating cars and other stuff... Not to mention beings like that girl we were speaking about. They're called androids. Even if your would's going down the alchemical route, they probably have a lot of things they can do that people in my world can't." [/color]

As she molded to Solaris, Pix made a small grunt in effort and the circle moved downward toward the abdomen of the armor.

[hr]

Ness looked over again, blinking a small bit. [color=666666] "Then what would you define spirituality as?" [/color]

 

[Random berk]

Ragnar leaned forward.
"That daemon does not have the best interests of any human in mind. None of them do. Be very careful of anything she says to you." He told Kenna urgently. "I do not know what this hemlock is, but do not take anything she offers you." With this, he stopped to think.
"That said... what you did before, channeling the wolf to change your shape in part... that suggests embracing it on some level. And yet, you still control it. That is an admirable thing, and must take a great deal of strength. It is that balance between the curse of the Wulfen and the great strength that it grants us that makes my chapter so formidable. You should be proud of that strength, and hone it. That seems like the way to gain greater control. Use it to your advantage, but never allow it to consume you."
