Does that mean you're typing up a description?

[Zaleramancer]

So.. What are we waiting for?

[Zaleramancer]

I am waiting.

For you.

To post.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

The Atmosphere continues to attack Phi's forces.

As for Marv, he shall have to deal with my Cosm attack force. I redirect my energy-absorbing living cosmic storms toward him.

And Zale's side shall have my legion of Gullets to deal with. Their gravitational vortex inhalation powers will prove most effective.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

My senses alert me. Bunny Hugger? Oh, dear...

I look at the bubble containing one of Zale's molecules. This is one of the only things keeping him from regenerating. But, then again...what fun would that be? I'm actually kinda anxious to see what he can do with his reaper and his frightening-yet-cutely-named weapon.

And so...I pop the bubble.

And await the consequences.

Never fought an atmosphere before.

Golet glides across the outer limits of the atmosphere, severing the tendrils of magic with her weapons. Soul uses his mirror powers to refract and bend a section of the atmosphere, trying to break the barrier.

[Zaleramancer]

Nearby particles surge forth to rescue their companion and move as one to the space near the Shadow. They form into something as formless as smoke.

The bluish cloud groaned with a thin and tired voice, "Start.. Jabbing. Now.."

My Shadow was happy to comply, and shook the spear she held in Wulf's direction.


The universe.. shook. Space-time quivered like a leaf in a strong wind. Nearby stars exploded into supernovae and screaming planets imploded. A wave of power unlike anything seen since the cosmogenesis rushed towards Shad like a death bringing tsunami.

Never fought an atmosphere before.

The atmosphere bends and ebbs and shifts, but will not easily be penetrated. For every blunt force attack it takes, it reflects it tenfold. And for every slashing attack it takes, it bends, almost like magical rubber.

(O Fortuna begins to play in the background)

I whirl around at Techne.

"WOULD YOU TURN THAT MESS OFF???"

I turn my attentions back to this here wave of impending quantum-physical death and demise. That can't possibly be pleasant.

And so...I reach my hands behind myself. I sit down in a gravity field like a chair. My hands grip that warped gravity, that distorted space-time, and decide I shall make this my command center. The gravitational and space-time flux bends around me in a sphere, and within, I can see the expanse of our playing field. This wave is large. I'd have to put Bunny Hugger on my Christmas list.

But for now...I point to the wave's proportional position on the gaming map. Nothing happens. I gesture at it. STILL nothing. I even punch the screen, and still no effect. At least not on the wave. When I punch the wall of my command sphere, I notice a shift in space-time itself. The entire game field sloshes about momentarily, like a cork bobbing in water.

Oh, snap. I just linked myself into the game field's space-time.

I place my hands on either side of my command sphere, and turn with all my might.

The game universe itself begins to rotate erratically, as thought we're fighting inside a classroom globe. I begin rotating it faster and faster, and the very sky shifts like the inside of a blender.

THIS is gonna be fun.

[Mik_Hael]

Okay, what did I miss. Something about another giant space glutton?



...."looks at title"....Okay I give misnomer or Irony?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Actually...its the Name of the School Association between Me, Wulf and dryad. We are the Souls of Intellect. Our Three schools have made a pact.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Neither, Jester. Neither.

Welcome back.

[Mik_Hael]

Interesting, mind another joining in then, It's not technically mine but I wrote the book.

[Mik_Hael]

most likely not for long.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

That depends...since when do you run a School?

[Mik_Hael]

I don't run it, another guy does. Merlin Academy, I know it's not an original name but they named it after it's founder....no, not that one. It's the one Kaen went to.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Well, I would give a tentative No since you don't actually run the school, but Wulf and Dryad may think differently.
