Fourth Eden - Silhouette and Mirage

[birthclod]

[Nearly a week's worth of drinking Mayfield-brand milk has passed. All of this, Clod felt, was just a taste of this town's hospitality. It could always do more later on. She endured through worse in her world. She could only do her best and continue enduring

[Well, hello there red grid.]

As long as it's interesting, I certainly don't mind. Though you may wish to change your mind if it's boring.

[birthclod]

Hehe! I wouldn't say it's uninteresting. With so many people with powers, though, it might seem like a parlor trick than anything else.

[Well, gee. What a relatively nonchalant response. People here really aren't all that normal.]

But before we start, I'd like to know what your favorite animal is.

[wise_king]

A dog is my favorite animal.

[birthclod]

An excellent choice.

[Raising an arm towards Merem, Clod begins channeling her powers into his body. A normal entity has the power to also tap into the Silhouette or Mirage attributes within others.

She taps into Merem's Mirage attribute. The grid around him glows and from within the boy's body, bursts of red light shoot out towards different directions.

The light materializes into shadows given solid form. Dogs of different breeds including terriers, rottweilers, greyhounds, and St. Bernards surround Merem. They're all quite lifelike.]

There, lots and lots of dogs to your liking.

[Well, the physical change is slightly surprising, but considering he's a blue-skinned, red-eyed twelve year old, who exactly is he to judge weird colored bodies? He'll just watch for a moment, shuddering a bit as she extracts the razor, before watching a moment. It genuinely didn't seem to hurt her.

He'll go and sit down beside Clod, quiet for a moment, before asking.]

So I guess you got back something other than just being colored green?

[birthclod]

[She smiles at Pokey, but the one she's wearing is her usual fake one. She has more than enough energy to keep up that face, after all.]

Invulnerability, yes, among other things.

I'm God again.

[godisachild]

Yeah? Sweet deal, I guess.

[Guess who's kind of jealous. All he's got is stupid immortality, and even then? He'd give his immortality away in a heartbeat if he could by this point.]

It still probably won't mean much here though.

[birthclod]

Yes. I could create as much life as I'd like to, but none of them would have the power to escape.

Well. I lied a little.

I don't have all of my powers back.

[Kiritsugu doesn't even answer. Unfortunately, even if he had his magic back, it's doubtful he'd have enough left to break through a bounded field (or anything similar).]

[Without a word, he grabs a bullet from his overcoat, inserts it into the Contender, and fires at the grid. The .30-06 ammunution of this weapon is seven times stronger than his other gun's, and the initial velocity a whole 2.5 times faster, so he reasons that this is the most likely thing to work.]

[If it doesn't, well...]

[birthclod]

[The bullets simply phase through the the grid and hits a tree just across from the man. Nothing in particular is really keeping Kiritsugu trapped. The sphere simply indicates that he is within range of Clod's magic channeling, but of course he wouldn't know that.]

What a waste of ammunition.

It's not as though I'm trying to keep you locked up. It's me, remember? Clod.

[maguskiller]

[Not a complete waste. Now that Kiritsugu knows it's harmless, he tries passing through it. Slowly, of course. Not going to get confident.]

Then...?

[birthclod]

I just want to channel my power inside of you.

You needn't worry. I'd just like you to be a little patient with me just for a bit.
