Sprite-y Sword Practice

May 11, 2007 23:13

From what she's been hearing since she came in, Mouse apparently missed a real good dust-up the other night. Kind of a pity: ever since Ray Tracer got sent out to do some recon on Daemon's forces, she's been restless. A fight would've helped her shake the jaggies out. Well, it might've gotten her in the cells too, and then gotten Dot on her case ( Read more... )

-five pairs of glowing eyes watch the sprite's swordwork, but only one has the mind to understand it-

She is almost like Keely in her determination with the blade, but more skilled in using it, is the assessment of one maned wolf. But it's a silent assessment, so it's not likely Mouse will hear him unless she's telepathic.

Correctable if the Atlantis game drops, and that's an unlikely.

But she just might see him and four other shadows too.

When you spend a significant portion of your runtime in the rather unregulated sectors of cyberspace, as Mouse has, you develop a certain capacity for knowing when you're being watched. That, or you get deleted. Mouse has been aware of her watchers for the past few minutes (or, by her count, nanos). But they seem to be keeping their distance, observing her.

And, anyway, if they approach and turn out to be nasty, she's already got her sword in hand. She continues with her forms, keeping an ear on the watchers.

Just how would Ihlini magic work on a sprite? Could he hold her in place or crush her with a thought the way he did others?

If Mouse attacks Strahan will get his opportunity to find out.

Instead he'll wait until she's finished before talking to her.

Even sprites can't go on forever.

Mouse hasn't got any reason to start a fight, but after she does a couple more forms, she decides that enough is enough. Sheathing her sword, she calls out, "I don't mind havin' an audience, but I'd like t'be able t'see 'em. Otherwise it's a mite unsettlin', if ya know what I mean."
