[Lady Serpentine]

[Halls]

Presumably, then the pair resume patrolling until Vesa's shift is over.

[Beans]

[Halls]
At that point, she will follow her friend to wherever it is she wants to spar.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Halls -> Alia's]

Probably her room.

"Suited or no? Or both?"

[Beans]

[Alia's]
Out-of-suit is best, since we don't want to risk any damage to them.
She slips out of her suit and harness, and floats nude as she places them somewhere out of the way.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

Alia slips out of her suit and such as well, and stares at Vesa once the other woman's gear is stowed away, more in surprise than anything else.

"You can fly without your suit now?"

[Beans]

[Alia's]
Vesa nods simply, hovering over to Alia.
That was one of the changes made when the Clinic did its work on me; I believe you will see there is a general increase in my combat capabilities as well.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

She grins, and nods, looking rather interested in the outcome now.

"Sounds fun. You want to know when we're going to start, or have to just react/initiate?"

[Beans]

[Alia's]
I am ready to begin now, unless you think we should be wearing clothing for this.
She shrugs, not understanding the quiet hilarity of how little she understands the possible implications of this.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

Alia shrugs, smiling at her. She does understand the possible implications, but since it's just them, she doesn't really care what other people might think.

"I'm fine either way, so unless you prefer to spar in clothes, let's just started."

[Beans]

[Alia's]
She smiles a little--- not a "I'm going to do something cool" smile, but a "I am enjoying time spent with a companion" smile---and drops down to push off the ground in a flying-forward knee thrust.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

Alia tries to spin out of the way, turning the movement into a punch aimed at Vesa's mid-back if successful.

[Beans]

[Alia's]
Vesa is struck, but quickly replies by turning, her own momentum feeding into a lashing kick.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]


Something I forgot to mention last post is that, if possible, Alia will pull her attacks at the last moment, since she doesn't actually want to hurt her friend, just have a friendly sparring match.

In any case, Alia is hit as well, and goes to pin Vesa's leg under her arm, trying to pull the pale girl off balance as she does.

[Beans]

[Alia's]
Vesa tries to use her weight to throw Alia off balance and get her leg free, using her hover unit a bit for some advantage.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

Alia is indeed thrown off balance, letting go of Vesa's leg in the process, and grins as tries to steady herself, plainly enjoying being up against someone who can match her.

[Beans]

[Alia's]
Vesa nods and leaps back, her trajectory more horizontal and less vertical than it should be.

Showroom

Gertrude leads Sedrat back toward the more curious sights and sounds. On their

"Face... clone... those are relatively easy to approximate, sir. You could call it somewhere in the ballpark of two to three thousand gold pieces. But a suit of metal?" Gary smiles charmingly, despite saying, "You'll have to be more specific."

The creature replies with it's thick...Australian? Accent. Yes. A mechanical suit, like a second skin. A very hard second skin. I want a suit, made of the hardest and lightest metal possible. I want it immune to magical attacks, resistant to physical ones, and I want it to cover my body. I have plans, special blueprints. It will have weapons in the hand areas, a laser gun, missile launchers...everything. I want you to go all the way on it. I want ti to fly....darkvision....evrything. I have a fortune....I need to spend it. My name, is Enshadu.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

Alia takes the time to get back on better footing, and waits for Vesa to make another move, wary of going after Iru right now.

[Beans]

[Alia's]
She starts to circle her with loping, astronaut-on-the-moon bounds.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

Alia watches Vesa circle for a bit, memorizing the timing, and then, unless Vesa attacks before then or she'd otherwise be prevented from doing so, lunges forward just as the other girl is about to jump, trying to get her in a chokehold, though she'll keep it loose enough to not actually cut off bloodflow if she's successful.

[Beans]

[Alia's]
She is caught, but struggles pretty well.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

Alia tries to catch one of Vesa's hands with her free arm, twisting it out to the side, much like she might to take a weapon away from Iru, though in this case the goal is simply to get control of the appendage.

[Beans]

[Alia's]
She eventually un-tenses, accepting Alia's victory.
This has been enjoyable.
((Pokey to Nest, though we'll need a new thread soon.))

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

Alia nods, grinning, and going to spin Vesa around for a hug.

"Definitely. We'll have to do this sort of thing more often... You want to get cleaned off first, or should I?"

[Beans]

[Alia's]
Hug!
Simultaneously tending to hygiene would be more time- and water-efficient.
I kind of love how Vesa manages to wrestle naked and wants to shower with girls without a hint of flirting about it... in contrast to every single other character of mine.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Alia's]

Wouldn't Callie be similar?

Also, your last post in the Forest is just a deadtime notice, so... *Counter-pokes*

Alia nods again, and heads for the bathroom, leaving the choice of whether to shower or actually take a bath up to Vesa.

Lobby

Tucking his bowler cap under one arm, Badger checks his reflection in the big glass doors of Elexxion's clinic, clicking his tongue in annoyance at the state of himself. Twigs in his fur, unwashed, why, one could nearly mistake him for a mere wild animal! First order of business was to find some sucker, con him for enough to get a proper manicure done.

In the meantime, a quick paw run through the streaky black-and-white fur atop his head and a drop of spittle to slick it down will have to do, the hat then returned to it's proper place and adjusted to what Badger would consider a 'jaunty' angle.

Looking a molecule more respectable than before, Badger waves the automatic doors open and pads into the lobby proper, pulling up a chair to stand on while he addresses the receptionist. "Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but, this would be a body augmentation clinic, hmmm? I was wondering I might here purchase a set of thumbs as nature has, ah, left me sadly lacking in that regard." He says, holding up his clawed, thumbless hands and wiggling his other fingers with a dramatic sigh of remorse.

She intends to shower, though if Alia prefers a bath she'll do that.
((And Callie, while asexual, at least kind of understands sexuality enough that she's not likely to do stuff that Vesa wouldn't blink an eye at.))

Alia is fine with either, so it probably ends up as a shower; presumably, the pair help each other get cleaned off and dried, Alia taking care to not do anything that could be taken as getting handsy.

[Beans]

[Alia's]
Soon they'll be nicely and efficiently clean!
