Kasumi

A simple nod toward her captain, shoring up her legs from the spread and tapping the toes of her right foot in the dust. There was a silent understanding as she tightened the orange ribbon in her hair, and they would wait idly by should such a command arise again. The girl lunges toward the dark leaves of the canopy, a blink of purple light, leaving a spray of small petals that glimmer down softly. Spinning through the air, like confetti, harmlessly. They'd play the part of shadows, just outside the peripheral of what was visible. Freyd needed no sight to move his pieces, the board was his to

Relaxed: Full EN restored It would be a mistake to underestimate one's opponent, it may have been easy once. But in method, to assume that this instance would be the same would be a folly. "Then the routine will be the same." Kasumi mutters through her stance, centering herself and stabilizing her breathing through an active control. Like a timer on an oven, a small ding catches her ear. But the girl pays it no mind, holding a beating heart to an alternative rhythm through a set pattern of inhale and exhale. Kasumi seemed so calm, so collected in her meditation. She could pick up every so

Charge CD [1/3], Concentration CD [1/5] "Understood" spoken in tandem with a mirrored assassin, as a parade of whispers drew arms and began to circle. Without warning, Kasumi rushes the reflection of Mari with a set of Montjoy at her back. She slows to a slide as the shadows hiss, slamming weapons into a produced pole arm of her own. That orange hair bends and twists, being illuminated by light with each successive blow. The crashing wave follows suit, providing adequate pressure and making the thing desperate. A swipe of her leg, it ducks. Jabbing an extended set of fingers with a high p

A scattering of lilac petals, swaying ever softly like snow. The blow rings out, as a trail of purplish light slams into the side of a pale reflection. This false personification, rising to the flats of her feet, only had just barely managed to wipe the dribble from her mouth before getting sideswiped by an extended leg. The crashing wave retracts an extended black clothed leg, a soft exhalation escaping her lungs signifying some semblance of practice. Her foot falls, and find purchase before sliding apart. Arms find a place to anchor after large circles, right: to her hip and left: just in fr

Relaxed: 1/2 Full EN restore, Vanish Refreshed, Charge Refreshed A slide of her hand into an awaiting ponytail sees a tiny head poke up, an itty bitty pink tongue pop out. Her clothes shift from black to white, a moment of rest so the skill could fade. "I've been on at least one before." Her view twists to Freyd and Raidou. "What do we expect to encounter?" curious prodding on Kasumi's end. This was her first real one on one conversation with Freya, and she was going to weigh just how much the girl had paid attention. Watching an almost boyish inspection of her body, beckoned the girl to

Charge CD [2/3], Vanish CD [2/3] "It does seem to be a simple kill. Our numbers are something It wasn't designed to handle." Kasumi rebukes, ripping her right foot up and her heel engulfs in purple light. A sudden downward sweep sees it dig in deep. Ugzeke was on his last set of legs, which was ironic given his current posture. It didn't matter if he was angry, or buried. The damn thing had less than a few moments to live, and despite dwindling energy pools. A remove of her heel in a slide, revealing a concave break where it had struck, despite the meaty frame it had come in contact with.

199920, 17+6=23, Stealth Maintained, Charge CD [1/3], Vanish [1/3] "As before." The girl reciprocates the loosening of her bounds, and as her captain dives right into the thick of it, she ceases to be. An earth-shattering bang fills the dimly lit cavern, leaving a steaming pile of ugly in a concave imprint on the floor. "Argh, YOU!? AGAIN? WHY?" The creature objects to the whisper's frequent visits, smearing him across the stonework on numerous occasion. It starts to lift a weapon in rebuttal, before it seizes. Something hurt, a lot... Retracting a slender peach covered hand with a s

In a conglomerate of her allies, all matched with their own set of skills looking into the face of an opponent they'd been facing for quite some time. She recalled the little show and tell with Raidou and Freyd, and virtually dealing with some of their forces. They needed to be stopped, and this was the head commanding the limbs they've been battering for so long. A single ruthless shatter of armor, her hair seeming to stop as she connects and the g force not catching up just yet. It was as if time had stopped, her hands moving before she could even process. Pure instinct. The blow riddles bac

One, two, three steps in a rhythmic tapping before she lunges through the opening and disappears to a cascade of lilac. Seconds later, as a foot finds the woman's chest owned by Freya, the pure tide appears. Her hand cocked back beneath her right shoulder. The fist unfolds into a dagger like firmness as her feet slide apart. "Sleep well." she comments with a bite of her cheek and an almost grim look on her brow. Kasumi's hand becomes engulfed with a deep purplish blue light, and as she drives it forward, a blood-curdling snap. That bladed fist connects with the side of her exposed throat, and

"Oh... I guess that makes sense, focusing on the here and now." Kasumi twiddles her thumbs, as most of what Koga outlined she had a guild to provide. It must have been tough to do all that on ones own. "That's a lot to have to deal with." Her gaze struggles to take his, red like salmon meat. "Me? I uh. Kinda wanna go back to school, my grades have probably plummeted. I would like to hang out with my cousin, breath in the fresh air I know is real. Have lunch that isn't perfect... My garden is probably dead now, isn't it?" All those little things that made up ones day were completely torn away,

A varied light show and a gust of wind, just a parade of different methods working in tandem. Freyd beckons, and with that notion a glimmer in violet and a handful of petals get sucked into that current and fill the chamber with graceful descent. A pair of feet jerk outward from being pressed to her chest as she lands, driving the one lingering ape into the floor from flight. It slams hard enough to crack the stone, and the sound of something else breaking with it is heard. Still, and not breathing. Kasumi lands after a somersault and a slide, her feet struggling to find immediate traction fro

A trickling parade of tapping from objects like sandals at the bottom of her heels. "Wind?" Kasumi remarks curiously, the last time she'd undertaken this quest there was no instant of wind riding. Last time they were just rummaging through cabinets and junk. A pluck of a single floating pink petal sees her attire shift from its normal white to that of black with red trim. It is as if her demeanor shifts, going from a soft and gentle one to something hard and rigid. "Then, we'll ride whatever winds it is. What kind of forces do we expect to encounter?" her inquiry searches both her cousin and h

The soft patter of her heels moving into the mainstay of Delilah, having just finished a few lingering duties that needed to be done. A sudden notification sees the girl pause, and her steps come to a halt. "Another quest, I wonder which one." she responds to the menu as if it could pay her some sort of answer. On her wrist, a small silver band pokes out of the wrap that usually held beneath a cloth hand guard. Kasumi taps it with her index finger, triggering the non combat transport item. Leaning into it, as some inscription on it begins to glow. "Floor 22, Forest of Memory." a smattering of

"Did you forget something?" Kasumi quips, struggling to keep that sentence together. It could have been that she had taken him away from something important with all of her nonsense. The girl hoped not, but it could have been the case. Fiddling with her hands a bit, just the sense of an almost uncomfortable silence between them. The blossom was completely at a loss of what to do or say, frazzled by the situation. Despite it, she was slightly happy, all things considered. Hands, fingertips sliding together and apart, and she was fixated on the action. A sudden realization causes her eyes to wid

"But we're only friends, though." Kasumi tries to correct Eruda, not sure how to put it into words. "He, uh, saved me from a lich and then we kind of had a lunch date after." Here she was gossiping about him but didn't even know how he felt. "It was to pay him back, and it went terribly." Ain't that the truth, the girl couldn't keep her mind from racing around and getting her in all sorts of trouble. "So we ended up eating in, and talking about ourselves for a while. Nothing weird happened, but..." she was notably flustered, just like Eruda was not but seconds ago. The glasses empty, and Kasum

Kasumi listens attentively, her expression shifting and becoming more placid as the recollection continues. The girl was just lost in the recount from her dear friend. "Uh, lemme think." She tapped a finger against her forehead. "Oh right, I saw him one time." A smile returns, remembering that it was him and his mother changing how the kid saw the dojo. Eventually that sharing ends, and Kasumi peels another pull from the straw bottoming out the remainder of her shake. The glass rattles as she releases and wiggles the straw with her fingertips. "Who me!?" The reaction is rather abrupt, as she

A sudden harsh suck of the strawberry milkshake, sees her brain turn into a popsicle. The girl coughs a few times, eyes watering as she almost face plants the table. "Really!?" Kasumi exhumes leaning forward, red as all get up and matched with a gleeful smile. "That's so good, oh my goodness." Her eyes welling in the mix of happiness and overwhelming cold. "Tell me all about it!" Here it was her cousin, and her best friend finally hitting it off. God knew that Raidou needed a release, and Eruda had been vying for his attention all this time. It was something Kasumi had been waiting for quite s

Eruda knew much more than she let on, it seemed as though her cousin had had quite the sharing session. It was a weird mix of delight and sorrow given the context, as such the girl's face didn't know how to react. "Truth is, his father has no choice. He cannot deny Raidou's prowess, and after his defeat you can almost tell his pride has been damaged. All that is left is time, and for my cousin to wish to take the seat as the head of household." It was on that second point, that Kasumi was not so sure of the outcome. She was present during the exchange, the duel of ideals, and listened to the w

"Hmm, maybe your mom has a relative she hasn't been able to introduce you to because of the restriction." Kasumi remarks with the only thing that could make sense. It hardly mattered in the grand scheme, given their shared predicament. It wasn't any bells for Eruda either. "Getting in as a student usually begins when you're really young, they see promise in kids in the barracks, which is half the reason they are kept so close. I started training when I was barely a year old." All the memories of the strict tutelage playing behind amber eyes, kept at bay by a chipper grin and a small decree on

She was a little curious, but it seemed that Eruda already knew quite a bit about it. It must have come from Raidou himself, which left her with a slight bit of joy. That mean he was talking about it, letting all that pent-up steam out. "There are a few families in those buildings, I just didn't know that you would be one of them. I know about them, because I live with my cousin. That's how I've learned what I have." That should have been apparent, but it rolls of Kasumi without even a hint of irritation. "Only students can enter the main building, likewise students are not allowed to mingle w

The blossom was a bit curious what else it was that Eruda wished to talk about, and yet she would wait for her to be ready to share. "You live in the barracks?" she was perplexed by the notion. She rounds her ear with her right hand, pulling a lingering strand of orange hair out of her eyes. Another sip, trying to put the pieces together in her head. "That's where the extended family live, are you related to him somehow?" Her question wasn't too unorthodox, she cannot recall the entire family tree of her cousin. She squints a bit, trying to pick up on some semblance of shared features. Not a s

A cup of her face with both hands, eying the waitress curiously, and yet she didn't seem any different to her. "Hmm." the remnants of a brain freeze fading and her breathing becoming regular. "I just assumed you were trying to figure yourself out. Everyone does it." The blossom dismisses it, after all Eruda was her friend. The following question takes her by surprise, and the shock plays out on her face. "You wanna learn Tenjinmon?" There was a mix of excitement and interest in her tone. "What for? I'll teach you, but, it's kind of a pain in the butt. You'd be better off learning from..." The

Landing in the small shop, shortly after Eruda given the slowed response. "Sorry I'm late!" Kasumi exhumes as she slides into the chair opposed to her friend. Placing down the tiny matched bag and sliding the almost patio style white chair closer to the rounded table. Looking to the small perspiring glass that matched the blonde tanks. "Is this one supposed to be for me?" A little heavy breathing given jumping in platformed sandals, she takes a single sip instinctually and exhales with a rather girly squeal. "Brain freeze." waving a hand near her face, with one of her eyes shut and a tongue po
