[Thread PL: 85] Hyperbola was a very cold, desolate landscape. Or rather it would be if it weren’t the Ice Elfen that thrived on the planet. Unlike most species, they not only could comfortably live in this harsh environment but also thrive in it. Of course, the capital city appeared to the most ambitious ice sculpture project ever. Towering buildings that appeared to be made entirely of ice. At least on the outside. Not many visitors came there, so most people only had rumors to go on. Their smaller villages were made out of more standard materials. Although they were some that used a lot of igloos. Glonice was one such village. Unfortunately for them, this made them a prime target for curiosity from someone who had little restraint. When Sylvia happened upon the ice village, she had floated just outside the perimeter, her eyes almost glittering with excitement when she saw the igloos. She was on her way to the ice capital, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t take her time getting there. And the moment she saw all those people in those igloos only one thought entered her head. Grinning, she went down the ground and started forming snowballs. “SNOWBALL FIIIIIGHT!”
Shouted the strange blue girl. The ice Elfen on the ground looked up in surprise. Then something zoomed through the air and slammed into the chest of one of them. The Elfen cried out as they were sent sprawling across the ground in an explosion of snow. Sylvia had thrown a snowball at them. Then a barrage of them came from all over the place. Sylvia knew that Elfen were fairly strong. It was why she had infused a tiny bit of ki into her snowballs. Otherwise, they would just burst apart without doing anything. Unfortunately for them, this had been the first time she had tried this. So some of them had a little too much ki in them. Some of the igloos outright collapsed under the force of the snowballs. They shattered into pieces under the onslaught. Either through direct hits or Elfen being knocked through them. There were shouts of panic, and some tried to block the snowballs by conjuring ice walls. One of Sylvia’s snowballs shattered them though. She did a fist pump, letting out another shout of glee. “BULLSEYE!” The Elfen on the ground prepared to launch a counterattack. Only to find out she was gone. Sylvia had quickly gotten bored of the game since it became clear it was one-sided. She was now back on course, zooming towards the capital. The villagers were too busy assessing the damage to give chase. Without anyone to supervise her, Sylvia was a loose cannon. If she decided to do something similar in the capital, she could potentially cause irreparable damage. The well-renowned architecture of the icy city was at risk.

Photina was slowly breaking out more and more onto her own, now that she was an adult in her own right. She was stronger than most of the people in her group too. She had come out to Hyperborea mainly to see how things were going there for the Boreas Tribe. But a quiet walk through the snow suddenly turned into her feeling a strong power surge. One that was very close to her own... And it was on top of a village, from her recollection.
She took off running at her full speed. While her sensing wasn't perfect, she was sure she wasn't mistaking the fact that there was some kind of fight going on there. Soon enough the village comes into view, and she doesn't spot the perpetrator responsible, but the village was definitely a mess... So many people hurt, and so many homes damaged or destroyed. She takes a moment to check on them. Thanks to her healing technique, she's able to reverse some of the injuries taken, and it looked like no one was killed... But it would take awhile to reverse all of the damage.
Photina could still sense that energy, and she took off pursuing it. She could tell where it was headed based on the trajectory, it was going right for the capital. " I've gotten do everything I can to catch up to it before it gets there..." There was also something nagging at her mind. Something about that power felt very familiar to her. Was she just imagining things, or was it really who she thought it was? There was only one way to find out, and that was to hope that she could catch up to them in time! Of course, she was making no efforts to hide her power. Her energy was flaring at full, and anyone that could sense it would be able to easily pick it out, just as she was doing to Sylvia right now.

At first, Sylvia didn't notice the large energy signature that was going after her. She was too focused on reaching her destination. But as time past and her initial rush wore off, she could feel the familiar energy signature trailing her. She wouldn't have stopped until she got to the city or they caught up to her normally. But this energy signature was very familiar. Grinning eagerly, she flew towards the ground, in the middle of a ravine surrounded by mountains. She touched down in the snow, looking up at the sky and waiting for Photina to show up.

Photina certainly wasn't playing around when it came to tracking down Sylvia, and it seems that the energy finally touched down and stayed in one location -- was she sensed earlier, then? Whatever the case was, it meant that she could close the distance between them in really short order! As for why Sylvia was looking up to the sky, that was simple... The Light Elfen leapt into the air and cleared a cliff fall as if it were nothing, and then she lands rather gracefully on the ground, coming to a halt in front of her.
Now... How to approach this situation? She didn't want to just accuse the girl that she assumed to be a normal Fae, but that damage and the energy signatures were unmistakable.... Play it cool for now, then. " Hey, Sylvia. Did you stop by any villages recently?" , she inquires. Wondering what the child-like girl might tell her in response.
Photina wasn't really looking to fight her. More to understand what happened and why, and try to take steps to prevent it from happening again. Fortunately, she was stopped before reaching the capital too, so she didn't have to worry about THAT getting out of hand... A bit of relief washes over her, but right now she still felt pretty tense.

This was the second time that she was going to run into Photina. The light Elfen had been a highlight to her time in the amazing city of Ura. She was one of two people she met there who she had fun interacting with. Although she hadn't revealed her tail to either of them. She waved as Photina approached. When the other girl asked about if she visited a village, Sylvia nodded her head rapidly.
"Oh yes! I ran into a village with these weird buildings of snow. I couldn't resist starting a snowball fight. They were really sore losers though. They kept on shouting and yelling. None of them got serious injuries and those kinds of houses can be rebuilt. I didn't see what the big fuss was about. They were really bad at snowball fighting."

Sure enough, Sylvia confirmed everything that Photina was suspicious of without even really even having to be questioned further about it. The Light Elfen takes a deep breath... This was a tricky situation, because it didn't seem like Sylvia knew what she did was wrong. It really gave her the impression of a child. One that had a lot of power and didn't know anything about the responsibility that came with it. So, she begins to gently pat Sylvia's head." I'll tell you why they got so mad. That was their home, and while you didn't kill anyone, they weren't asking to be hurt either." , she explains this gently, and then kneels down to face Sylvia properly, now gently grabbing her shoulders with a soft smile. " Think about it this way, you wouldn't want anyone to hurt you, right? Even if they were just playing." She was trying not to be patronizing, of course. It was just... Hard to imagine Sylvia as anything other than an unruly kid. She seemed so innocent, even despite what she did back there. " And you wouldn't want them to break the things that belong to you either, right?" She pauses for a moment, wondering how Sylvia might respond. " It's not always a matter of strength either. Someone could be stronger than you, and they could do those things to you. That wouldn't make it right, though." Photina then calmly stands up, letting go of Sylvia. " Tell you what though. Next time you get bored and want to really let loose while playing, you can ask me! I'll be up to the task." She just hopes that all of this really gets through to her... Sylvia

Sylvia frowned, tilting her head and cupping her chin with her palm. She tapped her skin with her index finger, looking at Photina with genuine confusion. Why were people so bothered by injury or their house getting damaged? Honestly, it made little sense to the bio-android. “I wouldn’t be mad if someone injured me to the degree that I did those people. It isn’t any fun if you don’t risk injury to yourself. Besides, I can easily regenerate from minor wounds like that. I can even heal life-threatening injuries if I wanted to. If I accidentally hurt one of them too bad I would have repaired them. And I don’t really own anything either. Other than my clothes. But I have ways to protect those.”
Sylvia said nonchalantly. To her, it seemed like serious injuries were just a minor inconvenience to her. Not only that, but she didn’t seem to think any harm could come to her. What she failed to understand was that not everyone’s circumstances were the same. She looked into Photina’s eyes when the Elfen grabbed her shoulders. Her soft voice, bright smile, and shining hair gave her an angelic quality to her. Sylvia nodded her head rapidly when Photina backed off, and gave her a grin. “Right now then! I’ll be able to show you! You can go all out on me and you won’t be able to hurt me badly! Comeon Photina, this is the perfect place to play!”

So Sylvia thought it wasn't fun unless there was a threat to one's life involved? That was kind of a strange way to look at things... But she chalked some of this up to her being a Fae, too. " Well, I'm glad you would take actions to heal them if you did too much damage. But just so you know, not everyone is as capable as we are, okay? Not everyone likes being hurt, either." , she explains.
But, it seems like Sylvia really did want to prove that her way of playing wasn't all bad. Photina sighs a little, this girl was going to be a handful, wasn't she? But... That was kind of charming in it's own way. " Alright! I'm pretty strong though. So let me know if you need to stop." , she explains to Sylvia as she eases into a fighting stance.
It didn't seem like the girl really meant to cause any harm or trouble for anyone. So maybe the way to solve it was just to be her partner. Fight all the energy out of her so she feels like just hanging out and having fun in more conventional ways. Wasn't a bad place to start, in any case." Ready when you are!" , Photina then states, allowing Sylvia to kick things off. Sylvia

Sylvia rolled her eyes. “I’m not stupid. I know that not all beings can take as much punishment as me. But Elfen are naturally strong. If I just threw normal snowballs at them they wouldn’t so much as flinch. Especially since they’re ice Elfen. I needed something with a bit more of a punch in it.
Sylvia grinned, turning her palm upwards. A blue sphere of ki formed. It then steadily began to grow bigger and bigger. Sylvia grinned eagerly at the light Elfen.
“I know! I could sense your power all the way back when we first met! I really wanted to play with you then, but there was so much else I wanted to do there first, and people would have gotten in our way. You should be more worried about yourself though, Shiny! Catch!”
Sylvia’s ki sphere had grown to the size of her head. She arced her arm behind her back, sliding back on her left foot. She then bent her upper body forward, throwing her arm in an arc and tossing the sphere at Photina. Her movements themselves were exaggerated and telegraphed her attack. But the sphere itself zoomed at her target like a fastball. It was aimed right at the Elfen’s chest.
Actions 1-2: Sylvia charges up “Catch!” 5% < 10% < 15%
Action 3: Sylvia throws her Energy Sphere at Photina. Gains either 1 or 3 experience for the technique (depending on whether or not it makes contact).

[Thread PL: 90] Photina shakes her head lightly. " It's not a matter of being stupid or smart, Sylvia. It's about empathy." , she replies calmly. " I get you're really strong and capable. But it's doesn't really feel good to get hurt, does it?" , she queries, wondering if the girl might catch onto the point that she was trying to make. But maybe the only way to fix it at this point was to serve as the "playmate" to Sylvia's games.
Photina was fairly confident that she could handle whatever was thrown her way. " Well, I can't deny that you have a knack for sensing power! I'll make sure to play seriously for you." , she replies to Sylvia, allowing her to make the first move in battle. She could already see that sphere of ki growing by the second, and there was a fair bit of power packed into it.
But the Elfen did have an advantage here, especially with her element thrown into the mix. Her body almost seems to turn into particles of light as she then phases through the sphere of Ki, re-appearing properly just a little closer to Sylvia. With little warning, she prepares a sphere of her own and throws it at Sylvia!" Here we go!" , she yells. Right now she was taking it easy, if she used too much of her power she might hurt Sylvia, or make her think that she was in danger. Photina REALLY didn't want to hurt a child, even if they had done wrong. Sylvia Actions: 1 - Tier 2 Lightphase versus Catch! Charge of 25%, Defense of 23 versus a damage of 13, wins with 10 leftover. -5 Ki 2 - Fires Tier 2 Miniature Sun at Sylvia! Charge of 25%, damage of 23 heading towards Sylvia. -5 Ki 3 - Nothing +10 Ki from Natural Regen HP: 180/180 Ki: 100/100 Notes: Environmental Overdrive:None in the universe carry as much control over nature as the Elfen do, and as such all Techniques with the "Elemental" tag and the element that matches the user's birth element automatically have 15% more of the user's Ki applied to the total.

“I wouldn’t know: I’ve never been hurt before! You can try your best Photina, but I bet you can’t land a scratch on me!”
Sylvia had never experienced pain before. She hadn’t lived long enough to experience it. She came into existence strong, so she didn’t get typical cuts or bruises or anything like that. She looked surprised when Photina vanished in a flash of light. The particles it left behind shone in the air. Sylvia was entranced by the shining remnants of light for an instant. That was all it took for Photina to get a shot in. But Photina’s attack would go right through Sylvia. Her image wavered for a moment before vanishing. Sylvia appeared 15 feet above Photina, floating behind the other girl. Grinning, she cupped her hands together and charged her ki. She then fired a white beam of energy at Photina.
Actions 1 - Tier 2 Wild Swap vs Minature Sun! Charge of 25%, Defense of 23 versus a damage of 23. Barely manages to dodge it! -5 ki
2 - Sylvia charges a tier 2 Hellmouth Wave. 10% < 15%
3 - Sylvia unleashed her Hellmouth Wave at Photina. 13 damage headed Photina’s way -5 ki
HP:170/170 Ki: 100/100 (regains 10 ki from passive regeneration).

Sylvia was confident in the fact that she couldn't be hurt, and with the skill showcased in that dodge, Photina could understand why that was the case. The girl certainly had a ton of power packed behind that tiny body of hers, and it rightfully explained why no one back at the village could so much as make a proper stand against her. "Well, I should be a little bit more of an even fight for you!"
As she says that, she tracks Sylvia's energy down and spots it behind her, she turns quickly and without even time to prepare it for a stronger defense, she throws a barrier of light up in front of herself to block the incoming beam of energy! Just in time, too. Her Wall of Lux Technique does manage to hold against the blow, and she lets out a calm breath in response.
So far, neither of them had gone all in on an offensive, they were merely testing the waters and seeing how the other responded. It helped that, at least from Photina's perspective, she wasn't trying to fight to the death. This was little more than a sparring session to her. Still, that being said, she would raise a hand with the palm facing upward, and then a beam of light is shot into the sky, before beams begin to rain down towards Sylvia!
"What do you think so far, Sylvia?", she queries.
Actions: 1 - Barrier of Lux versus Hellmouth Wave! Charge of 25%, defense of 23 versus a damage of 13. Wins with 10 points leftover, no damage headed towards Sylvia, -5 Ki 2 - Fires Rays of Light at Sylvia! Charge of 25%, damage of 23 headed her way. -5 Ki +10 Ki from Natural Regen

Photina wasn’t just trying to save face. She really was as good as she said she was. Not only had she dodged the first attack, but she had conjured a barrier to deal with her second attack. The difference in strength between Photina and the other Elfen Sylvia had encountered was night and day. Sylvia raised her arms above her head, keeping her eyes on Photina. The air shimmered around her, and suddenly a barrier surrounded her. Photina’s rays of light slammed into it and bounced off harmlessly. Although Sylvia grunted and flinched slightly at the initial impact. She lowered her arms, giving the Elfen a wide grin.
“You’re amazing! Are all light Elfen this strong?! Hey, how serious would you like me to go? I feel like I can go all out against you. Can I?! Can I?!”
Sylvia was tremoring with excitement, clenching her fists and looking at the Elfen hopefully. Finally, she had found one of the things she was looking for. Someone strong enough to test her full capabilities against. She knew instinctively that she was capable of doing so much more than what she had done so far. But she also knew that against most people, it would completely overwhelm them. But not Photina. She could handle her max strength, she was sure of it!
Actions 1 - Tier 2 Daemonic Forcast vs Rays of Light! Charge of 25%, Defense of 23 versus 23 power. The moves cancel each other out. -5 ki
2-3 - Sylvia waits for permission to go all out.

Somehow, Sylvia and Photina were pretty evenly matched. It proved rather surprising for the Light Elfen, to say the least. This girl really was pretty strong! You wouldn't even think that Photina had a slight power advantage. Even with all of her natural prowess with her elements wasn't enough to pull out an advantage. The more surprising aspect of this, however, was that Sylvia then reveals that she's not even going all out yet! Just how strong was she? Photina was a little curious to find out.
Especially since the girl was so excited to finally be able to compete with someone that could match her blow for blow. The Elfen had to admit she was pretty curious how she'd do, too. She was one of the strongest within her group, even despite her young age. "Nah, I'm one of the strongest in my particular group. I can't speak for all the Light Elfen, though. There might be one out there that's even stronger than me.", she admits to the girl.
But now it was time to answer the question she had, too. "Sure, go all out against me! If we get hurt, we can heal each other.", she then responds.

“Then you’re special like me?! I knew it! You’re not like all others at all! You’re so confident and shiny! I can go all out without you being afraid of me! Get ready Tiney!”
Sylvia floated down to the ground, clenching her fists and tremoring with excitement. An aura of white Ki began to surround her. She was charging up energy for an attack. She couldn’t afford to hold back. She raised her arms above her head, her palms facing each other. A large, blue sphere began to grow in between them. It was going to be in another dimension than the one she had thrown previously, that was for sure.
Actions Sylvia spends all 3 actions charging her tier 2 “Catch!” 10%-35% HP:170/170 Ki: 100/100
