✿ Thirty-Fourth Ink Drop ✿ - [Action| Voice]

[chiisaichou]

[Miyabi woke with a start, finding herself sitting on a rock in the snow, leaning against her sword and sheath. Rubbing her eyes, she caught a glimpse of something shimmering off to the side. Wh-What--]

Mallet...?

[What in the--oh...oh, that's right. She'd made herself bigger the previous day, to practice...for the war. Miyabi closed her eyes,

[redhairedknight]

Sure, I'll be right over. [Erza was always up for an opportunity to practice; she'll just have to try and learn to hold back for once.]

My name's Erza, by the way.

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

Erza... Thank you. Ah, I'm...Miya. [She breathes heavily and bows her head politely. She was still breathless from practicing Veil of Mist, but she wanted to actually test it on someone, as well and some new and basic moves with just her sword.] I'll be...waiting.

[Voice/Action]

[redhairedknight]

I'm on my way.

[It doesn't take Erza long to get there, mainly because the Battle Dome is so close to her apartment building. She arrives unarmed, but upon seeing the type of sword that Miyabi uses, she summons a similar one into her hand. She figures it's best to use a similar type of weapon in case she has to demonstrate anything.]

Nice to meet you, Miya. Ready to get started?

[Action]

[chiisaichou]

[Shoot, and she was hoping for a quick breather to regain some strength. Erza's swift arrival made the girl blink, and stand up from her sitting position, holding her sword out. She looked a bit exhausted, but determined all the same.]

Same to you. [She smiled, and bowed respectfully to her opponent.] I'm ready.

[Action]

[redhairedknight]

[Erza bowed in response, then dashed forward. She was starting off on the offensive to test her opponent's skill, but old habits die hard - she's still going to be putting quite a lot of force behind her first swing.]

[Action]

[chiisaichou]

[Ah, not much time to react, but this was perfect. Miyabi needed a speedy partner to test the Skill she was practicing earlier. Plus, she's equally light on her feet and quick.

Leaping away from the first strike, the girl swings her own sword - but not the blade. With the brush topping the end of her sword's hilt, Miyabi paint two horizontal lines in the air, which spread into a thick, white mist. The moment mist surrounds them, Erza may feel the effects. Her body will become heavy, and her movements will become drastically slowed - like a massive weight was placed one her.

The effects last only a few seconds (about four or five), however, though the girl had taken the advantage to strike. The flat side of her sword only will be aimed to hit Erza on the right side. She's not intending to harm.]

[Action]

[redhairedknight]

[For a brief moment, Erza wonders how Miyabi is going to fight with what appears to be a brush, but that's pushed out of her mind when she feels the effects of the mist. She tries to raise her sword to block, but she's not fast enough and gets hit on her side. The armour that she's wearing (her usual outfit) absorbs the blow, but she still feels some of the shock from the hit. Once the effect wears off, she doesn't seem irritated or angry - on the contrary, she's almost excited.]

What kind of magic was that?

[Action]

[chiisaichou]

[Despite the armor absorbing most of the shock, Miyabi's glad for it. She grins, panting a little from the exertion of her unrefined skill, and doesn't break her stance just yet. She knows how most battles go - let down your guard and you lose.]

The power of my gods back home... The...divine instrument - the C-Celestial Brush. It constrols...the very f-fabric of existence. Just now, I...I just slowed down time a bit.

[And dear gods was it hard.]

[Action]

[redhairedknight]

Really? Interesting... I've heard of magic which can reverse time, but nothing about slowing it down. [With that, she dashes forward again, swinging the flat side of her sword at Miyabi. She figures that, on the battlefield, her enemies won't give her time to catch her breath, and besides, she wants to see what other sort of tricks that brush can do.]

[Action] - ugh, my slowness. ;;

[chiisaichou]

The stronger skill allows you to warp through space and time, via magical portal called Origin Mirrors.

[Damn! Miyabi was unprepared that time, to she doesn't get to use her brush. Instead, she blocks the blow, almost falling to one knee. Gods, that blow was pretty rough. Gritting her teeth, Miyabi pushes her weight forward to try and get Erza to move back.]
