The City of Montridge

[GIR]

Noodles did a half pout and sat down to try to find her "magic." "Grr. I have no Idea how to do this!" She mumbled. She stared sidelong at a tree.

[anarchyheartless]

"I'll help you...Noodles, was it?" Auna said turning to face her. Auna needed to do something to take her mind off of her wrongness. Auna stood beside her.

"Have you ever done something that made you so happy your were tingly all over?" Auna asked her. "That tingly feeling is very close to the feeling of magic. All sensing is, is listening for the tingly feeling." Auna explained.

[GIR]

"Yes, it is. Thank you!" Noodles listened and thought about it. "Yeah. I'll try that." She propped her head on her hands and closed her eyes to find the tinglies. She thought of Big'un and the rest and how they were like... The inner Noodles found something like the tinglies. She poked it and it flared all over with the tingly feeling. "Pwwing!" Noodles made the sound effect out loud as her hair flashed golden in triumph, "Yeah! I found it!"

(If I didn't tell you before, her hair changes color dramatically with her feelings.)

[anarchyheartless]

Auna smiled brightly, successfully distracted. "That's great! Now, all you have to do is follow the tingly sounds, or feelings, of things. And what we are looking for is a very small, but strong tingly feeling." Auna said with her smile still on her face.

[GIR]

Noodles cocked her head and sort of listen-felt for the feeling. She sorta felt the others' magic, but it was different. She ignored it and sent out her thoughts to find the tiny magics.

"I think I'll go put the stone back now," Jade said, it wasn't what they were looking for and it was kinda making her feel a bit nausceous, too. She went into the cave and put it back where she found it, and looking around, found that the damage was gone, the only sign that anything had happened was that the crystals that had been growing in the corners were scattered about on the floor, but that didn't matter, they'd be back in the next couple hours. She went back out and said, "Ummm, I think I was a bit too hard on them, it didn't do near as much damage as I thought it had."

[ashiko]

Jun shrugged. "You can't have been too hard on them. They blew up a cave, endangering us and many life forms. They deserved what they got."

[anarchyheartless]

Auna nodded with Jun," And besides, if we weren't hard on them, they would probably do something like that again.... then again they might just do it again anyways. But at least they are sort of scared of us...I think." It was getting hard to concentrate again. Auna shook her head slightly and looked around.

[ashiko]

Jun grinned. "Yeah, they're scared all right! Scared that I'll castrate them!" she laughed. "Actually, I wouldn't dare. That'd be just wrong. But I think they were more scared of you, Jade." Jun stuck out her hand for a high five.

"Er yeah, can we change the subject now?" Darius asked feeling uneasy about it. Not that this was his body or anything. Well it sort of was his in a sense anyway. It was half his and half belonged to the reflection he highly doubted that the reflection was enjoying this conversation either. He knew it had to be around her somewhere but he had already attempted to pick it out from all the other magic pulses in the area. So far no luck but he idi know it would give off a rather intreging feel, well at least to these idiots anyway.

[anarchyheartless]

Auna sent out her magic pulse again, feeling the magic around her, looking for a stone again. But she felt the strange thing on her. This time in a magical sense. It was in her feet...or shoes. But it was down there.

She looked down at her feet for a minute, but they looked normal to her. Auna shook her head.

"Well anyway, on to searching for the stones." She said pointing her hand off in no particular direction. She walked off into the trees.

[idyllian]

~I have to make sure she’s alone without him seeing her...but I don’t have enough magic to do that unless I use her own, but....~

The shadow writhed a little thinking about what to do. He didn’t have enough power to do this on his own, that was quite a problem really. He might be able to sub consciously make her go somewhere if he tried. He had thought about just trying to talk to her but when he remembered the last time a disembodied voice tried to talk to him he thought it would be best to avoid that route.

He would just have to stay inside her shoes for now, but not for long because this woman’s feet smelled, like all feet.

[GIR]

Noodles, not finding anything in a long thin sweep, thought "It could be underground..." and she sent her little magic feeler under her like roots and closed her eyes harder.

[anarchyheartless]

Auna sent out her continuous sense-pulse thing, and continually felt the magic bounce back feeling of all the things around her. She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on finding the stone, but her shoes....and the weird magic had was making it hard to think about anything else. She stopped and looked down at her shoes. "What the hell is wrong with me?!" She demanded quietly. It would do no good if the people behind her heard her screaming at her feet. She didn't need that right now, not when the barrier is about to break.

[idyllian]

The shadow recoiled suddenly sensing her frustration not only in the sound of her voice but her body temperature as well.

~Maybe if I just wing it....~

It thought a little more and squirmed a slight bit as it pondered what to say. Would just materializing and saying “Hi” work? Most likely not because he would be a disembodied voice. But it might work if he could make her see him, but would mean attaching to her face. That just seemed a bit to frightening.

~Well....I’ve got to do something.~

The shadow slipped out from her shoes and processed the situation before deciding to do what the second plan required in a more discrete manner. He slipped backwards into the shade of the trees attempting to create something a little more solid. The air grew slightly colder but not enough to be noticeable as he began to take shape, a white long coat clinging to his badly beaten frame.

His tresses were tangled thrown about his face in a poor attempt to his a black eye that he had gotten earlier. Though he was beaten his face retained a much softer, childish look then his other counterpart, the man in the black jacket.

He coughed shaking his head a moment trying to remain silent. Darius had moved on now so he had a bit more time to spend here. Although he hopped that he wouldn’t startle the poor girl.

“Miss...excuse me Miss, but might I be able to talk to you?” he asked stepping out from the shadows brushing off his gray slacks.
