Divided We Fall

[Alice The Necrofox]

Griffin looked up suddenly at lireal.
"What is it? Are you okay?" He was shocked. "Why are your powers dissapearing now? You should talk to Lane."

[KittKat chunky~]

She pinched her nose, laughing softly...
"Disappearing? My powers where never fully fledged..."
She blushed, even though she didnt know why, looking away from Griffin...
"I'm young, very young... for my.. i mean, our race..."
She sighed, unpinching her nose when no more blood ran...
"I shouldnt bother Lane.. it's fine... just practice i suppose..."

[Artemis]

All of a sudden a loud rumble came from outside the cave.  Lane had been shooting fireballs at the same boulder that wouldn't break, and then suddenly got extremely angry at the boulder and threw a fireball at the boulder that pretty much broke the thing.  It was a blue fire he had never been able to procure before, and he probably wouldn't for a long time.  His temper still flaring, he cursed at himself for his lack of strength.  After that, he felt normal.  He had just needed to lash out at something, let it all out y'know?

[Alice The Necrofox]

"Well it sounds like he is practicing outside too, by the sound of it."
he looked down at his paws.
"So, you and Lane have powers? Wow... i was wondering that since we are now like you guys, we got something like it. How did you guys get your powers?"

[KittKat chunky~]

Lireal looked up at Griffin, it was still weird to see him... well... as he was now... she looked down at her own paws, and with a moment of concentration, they became ghostly and silver up to her forearms... if you tried to look directly at the area affected by her power, your concentration would always be inexplicably diverted, like trying to look at a really bright object...

She stopped, her fur returning to its normal silver, and looked up at Griffin... "When i was.... about six, if you translate it into a human age... i just had this feeling.... i knew i could do it.... and i could... well, not very well... and even now i find it hard..."

She stood up, pulling a face of disgust at the blood which had soaked into her T-shirt from her nosebleed... "I guess you could have powers... i dont know.... by the way Griffin, you know any places round here i could get some new clothes? mine arent really wearable any more..."

She motioned to her Shirt which was torn from the fight with Lorazys, and covered in her own blood from the nosebleed...

[Alice The Necrofox]

"Yeah I do, but the only problem is that you are a walking cat and I am a walking fox. And Rachel here is a walking wolf (i am pretty sure that is what you are, Mystique ). I will have to sneak into the area, but the CIA has the whole place under sanction, which is gonna make our job a whole lot harder."
He still was petting Rachel absentmindedly.
"I think she should be waking up soon..."

[KittKat chunky~]

Lireal sighed, nodding... Griffin was right of course.... well... unless she could sneak in, ghostlike powers would be usefull for sneaking the clothes away....
"Dont worry... i have a feeling no one is gonna see me go in... or out.."
She stood up, hitching her jeans further up her hips and turned towards the cave wall...
"Take it easy Griffin... dont go getting yourself hurt after you survived all this okay.."
She smirked, and then, took three steps straight through the cave wall... Once on the other side she set off at a light jog towards the town, it was night-time, and so what she was going to do would be made all the easier... concentrating as she ran she shifted her whole body into what she had nicknamed 'the ghostrealm'.... to any passing observers she would have almost completely disappeared, visible only as a flicker of light and shadows...

Once at the back door of a suitable looking clothes shop she paused for a second, and walked through the door.... she smiled to herself.... it did seem to be getting easier... if anyone took a shot at her, the concentration would be broken, and she would be hit... but for sneaking around.... well, it sure was usefull...
She set off along the aisles of clothes, trying to find somthing that would fit...

[Artemis]

Lane walked into the cave, his paws steaming from the heat of his fireballs.  "So you're alive.  The both of you it seems.", Lane said, waving his paws in the air to cool them down a bit.  He'd gotten used to the heat since he'd gotten his powers, but he still wasnt even close to his prime.  "Where'd she run off to?" Lane asked.  He was refering to Lireal, of course.

[Alice The Necrofox]

"She is off getting new clothes. She has been acting a little strange though... is that normal for your species to suddenly lose focus on their power?" he said, sitting next to Rachel.

[Artemis]

"Depends on how efficient they are with their powers, their attention span, and temper control.", Lane answered.  He was fairly efficient with his fire, extremely efficient with his running, and was uually able to focus, but more than once his temper has caused some side effects.  When using fire, it makes him stronger, but while running he slows down and starts to trip.

[Alice The Necrofox]

"Hmm... something must be on her mind. I think I am gonna wait for Rachel to wake up before we try to come up with anything drastic." he smiled, and petted Rachel's new fur. It was relaxing. Soothing even.

[Mystique]

Rachel held her breathe and promised herself she wouldnt scream when her organs and bones moved and changed, sculpting her new form. She hadn't realised she was holding her breathe so long when she finally fell asleep with lightheadedness. When she felt Griffin petting her, she moved her new tail a little and woke up gently. Rachel turned her head upwards where he was sitting beside her, "hey ... guess I did pull through, sorry for the wait" She smiled.

[Alice The Necrofox]

Griffin breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"I knew you would make it." he hugged her tightly.

[KittKat chunky~]

Lireal pulled on her newly stolen shirt,  clutching her old clothes to her chest... she felt better being in shorts and shirt that werent covered in blood... she walked to the back of the shop, and walked through the backdoor again...

~SMACK~

Lireal blinked twice, getting up from her new position on the shop floor, and groaned as she gingerly touched her muzzle.... correction... she walked straight into the door.... taking it slower this time, she let her breath slow down, and then slid easily through the solid door... once on the other side she  threw her old clothes into a bush and set off back towards the cave at a light jog.... she'd picked a set of camo pattern shorts, and a deep blue shirt that stopped at her navel, feeling the cold night air through her fur she smiled for the first time in a while....

Lireal entered the cave in the usual way, through the door, not trusting her own skill... after all, her muzzle did hurt quite a lot now... she took two steps into the cave, and then sat softly down, her tail curling up around her....
