*basically stays out of reach of the sword without too much difficulty, what with her grasp on the cloak* *tries grabbing near the shoulder of the cloak with her other hand* (([20] Nice!)) *once grabbed, pulls down and back, hard* ((Ooh, a natural 20! Though I'm not sure exactly what Alia's trying to do, so I'll just assume this:)) *The strength of the pull is too massive, and Starla falls to the ground. Starla grimaces, and the area around her gets darker...*

((Indeed I did.))
*Alia manages to pull off Starla's cloak. The removal of the cloak reveals a small pack on Starla's back, but not much else, other than a few things in an inner pocket.*
Starla: No! ...Nevermind, I'll worry about it later. *She stands up as quickly as possible. The area around her seems to be darker than it was before, and she charges Alia to try to knock her back with her sword.*

RAUGH! *banging and a sound like glass both being cut and being shattered*AIIIIEEEE! ! .oO (*frightened tone* Yep! That's definitely Zero! But who's that other voice?) Wow, Vile. He really seems to hate you. *trying really hard not to laugh* .oO ( That was Vile?) *pain'd back into wincing* .oO (This must be why you're supposed to be asleep when someone accesses your data.) *mumbles something* So what's going on here? Data research. Yeah, and what did you do with the others? Oh, them? Those cowards managed to escape before we could get to them. Haha. Too bad they were too concerned about their about own *spits word* pathetic lives to care about yours. What? N-no! They wouldn't. Come to think, why should I even bother asking you *also spits word* Mavericks? Vile? It's true. You see these gashes? They woke your other 'friend' up as they were leaving. They probably wouldn't have escaped if I wasn't busy being clawed. *fear starting to show through* .oO (No... did they really-) *pain'd* Ngh! .oO (Two kinds of pain. I'd hate to be him right now.) ((Indeed I did.)) *Alia manages to pull off Starla's cloak.

((Axxxxxxxl ;-; )) *spoiler'd for length*
Neretta: *looks at Nosegrind, EYF, and Omen* Take a seat. *sits down herself*
Fell: *sits down beside her*
Nosegrind, EYF, Omen: *sits down*
Nosegrind: *looks around the large cavern* What is this place?
Fell: A training ground.
Neretta: We will be teaching you. Expanding on your knowledge of magic...and teaching you to soul-merge.
Fell: You already have strong affinity towards certain elements, yes, but as tyros your alignment is not yet firmly set.
Neretta: Because of this you can still soul-merge with someone of any alignment.
Fell: *looks a little amused* Just remember to never soul-merge with a male.
Omen: I thought I was squarely air-aligned.
Neretta: You leans towards air, yes, but also light and dark.
EYF: What does soul-merging do?
Fell: Soul-merging was designed to increase the power of both Rinamians involved in the merge. You can merge more then two souls, but it is not recommend for anyone who is not a master. The danger in soul-merging is that one soul may overpower or consume the other, if the mergers are not careful.
Nosegrind: ._.
EYF: ... What's you're alignment, Fell?
Fell: *smiles a little* Fire.
Fell: Look inside of yourselves. In order to safely merge with the soul of another you must first be in tune with your own. *closes her eyes* Neretta, Omen, Nosegrind, EYF: *all close their eyes* Omen: ... .oO(This feels so stupid) Fell: Nosegrind, would you turn of your thought-chat capabilities for now? I don't want you girls passing notes and distracting each other. Nosegrind: How did you know that I'm the communicator? Fell: I'm fairly well acquainted with Swash's thought-chat system. Communicators give off a slight frequency. For someone who knows what to look for, you're easy to single out. Nosegrind: Oh. *pauses* Okay, done. Fell: Now...concentrate... Can you feel it, your soul? EYF: ... It feels like a flame. Fell: Good. You who are born of the Soulsource have much fire in you. Nosegrind: *frowns* ... I think I feel it? Omen: *opens her eyes* Ug. I've got nuthin. Fell: Close your eyes and concentrate harder. Omen: *makes a few faces at Fell but closes her eyes and tries again* -this goes on for awhile-

((Don't say I didn't warn you.)) Hmm... Maybe... Yes. Yes! That would work! What are you going on about? I just had a brilliant idea! ... Go on. You see- ... *remembers Axl* Hmm... Perhaps it would be better to discuss this in private - away from listening ears. Yeah... and away from the crazy bat-headed guy. Are you sure that thing will hold? Oh, calm down. But yes, let's head elsewhere. *mumbles something about collecting data* ... Oh! *to Axl* Don't bother trying to escape. It's pretty obvious that you weren't built for strength. *really starting to hate his restraints* And you don't worry about being alone for too long. I have something special in mind for you. .oO (Uh-oh.)

Starla: *She grits her teeth as she swings her sword towards Alia, in the opposite direction of where Alia's going so that the sword runs into her.* (This... doesn't seem... right... The light... Can't think straight. Need to defend...)
