DeathMatch: Tournament of Blood

[Chrono Blackwyng]

While everyone was busy, and awaiting Blaire's return, Chrono went over to a nearby shipping yard, heading to the tech vendor to order an EMP barrier in case Blaire or himself are chosen to fight Y again. He then ordered a nano-clone with a few hidden files and back-up systems pre-written. The price was actually very small, but only because he was not only a favored customer, his account was listed a 'alpha-beta', a tester for new tech. This gave him a total of a 90% discount on all tools, and no charge for tools he personally tested.

Although the author of this rp wonders how a worldly hated heretic is a favored costumer in a store I won't inquire.

Because the devices he tested usually turned out badly for the user if malfunctioned, and Chrono needed the money so he could actually get something for Blaire. Of course, only a black market vendor would let a heretic be a customer, but Chrono was good on his word, and his money.

Akayla awoke. She had only fallen asleep for half an hour. Yawing, she stretched and stood. She looked down on the arena and sighed. She started her descent down the hill. What is he going to say? He only knows my connection with Chrono, and that can only go so far. She thought to herself. Midway down the hill she 'jumped' and was back in the arena, in her room. Akayla looked the door and meditated.

Y raised his eybrow at the new Chaplain in confusion "Likes the smell of..? Never mind."  Y shook off his confusion and spoke in all seriousness.

"I wasn't able to get much before she teleported but here's what I know."  Y felt his guilt slash through him like a sword as he began to speak.  "She is a bit of an adrenaline junkie, she is...very curious, despite being here she is very emotional, she can create a psychic link with anyone she chooses, her ability to teleport can be temporarily disabled as can most of her powers by a simple knock on the head.  Her abilities to read auras allows her to tell friend from foe, so anyone with malign intent will be detected.  She is the lover of the Heretic, Chrono and has established a very strong link with him.  However, upon suppresion of her powers, she becomes quite helpless.  She has come to rely too much on her abilities." 

Y halted for a moment and then continued in order to not raise suspicion.  "Suggested course of action is to sedate her from afar with neural inhibitors before approaching for capture or questioning."

After meditating Blaire walked out of her room. Her eyes were a bluish gray. They stared blankly into the air and through anyone who walked past or approached her. She shut off all of her links. She could only hear her own thoughts and nothing else. Her mouth was shut tightly, her tail did not sway like usual. She portrayed a whole new person.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

As Chrono finished speaking with his vendor and walked away, he started to get the feeling of being isolated. He tried to see if Blaire was reachable, but no luck. If she had told him before it occoured, it wouldn't be such a nagging concern. Shes just trying to stay low... thats all he thought as he worked his way through the constant stream of people. All he needed to do is get to his room and work on his rifle to keep his mind off his paranoia. In the middle of his walk, he didn't notice he was walking right into a woman, and almost knocked her over. he apologized with a nerve-wracked voice and continued down towards his room.

[Shenzii]

Blaire let open one link. She was tired of the quiet. Chrono?

[Chrono Blackwyng]

His frayed nerves started to relax, but he was still somewhat worried. What happened... did you block the link?

[Shenzii]

Blaire sighed. I didn't block it. I cut it off. I cut everything off. I had no links what so ever. The noise and words were bothering me. Driving me insane. But so was the silence from now hearing your voice. But We can't depend on the connection as much. It's going to cause issues.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono got to his room, and nodded to himself. Want me to give you all that I've seen, just so that you have more places to 'jump' to. he 'said' as he finally calmed down.

[Shenzii]

Blaire smiled. It's fine. I'll be able to deal with things on my own soon. I can't depend on my skills so much. They've become my escape from everything. She walked down the hall. I'm sure we'll talk soon. she 'said' to Y. Her voice a bit agitated, as if her words dripped anger.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Want me to get your armor... since you won't be relying on 'jump'ing? he 'said' as he did a quick repair on his own form of protection.

[Shenzii]

No. I will be using no protection. If I am to fight, it will be fair. Blade to blade. No more running or hiding. Blaire cut the link. She went back to her room and sat on the bed. She shut her eyes and hummed. Her humming awoke tribal markings that had been resting peacefully on her body. They now illuminated a bright green against her black and white fur. She opened her eyes, as they also illuminated green. Her meditation had finally succeeded.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

He sighed and only sat there, considering that finding her will only cause problems for them both, and feeling that he should still lay low after that one incident.
