Out of Season (13) : One would think that winter would be dismal and gray, and after each snowfall there's a hefty dose of white covering up the world. Except, all winter bright patches of wildflowers begin sprouting straight through the frost--as if spring has decided to push its way into winter a few months early. Blues, pinks, yellows, and purples bloom in vivid clusters, warming the landscape with bursts of color that look impossibly alive against the cold. The flowers behave exactly like their normal spring counterparts--soft petals, gentle fragrance, and even suitable for tea or simple crafts. They’re simply appearing far too early. Whether it’s a harmless anomaly or a sign of something stirring beneath the seasons, the sudden blossoms bring an unexpected beauty to the winter chill.
She was still mildly seething from the interference from the Captain, and utterly determined to get stronger so that she could be the one interfering from now on. Maybe her next meeting with Borax would be a list so that she could gain more power. She had done well against that other little order brat, after all. It would be wonderful. Having something other than a bubble wand. Thulite wondered what sort of weapon she would get, having been just a little jealous of the other woman’s sword…it had cut that a*****e Senshi…
There was the flicker of an aura nearby and Thulite turned towards it, narrowing her eyes and then blinking at a sudden splash of color. Flowers? Lovely flowers,and enough of them that it very nearly drew her attention away from the aura, but she shook her head and looked up, seeing someone in purple clothing. “Admiring the flowers too? A strange little sight to see, but whatever. Maybe they’re poisonous. You should go and check. You know, in the interest of ‘protecting’ the city and all that.”
Her voice was mocking. But, when wasn’t it.

Of all the chaotic and dumb things he had expected this city to do... a False spring was definitely not one of them.. Let alone even on the damn list of things things he expected. He stared various flowers, wondering if anyone else had come across this.
The appearance of the Lieutenant drew his attention away and he stared at her for a moment before rolling his eyes. "Poisonous flowers are so common that no one would bat an eye at them even if they were." He glanced at the flowers once more before turning his attention to her completely. "Besides. Poison never really bothered me anyway. I've been through worse."

Thulite snorted. “You sure about that? Because I think you should try. It might be good! Maybe it’s a new type of poison, or oh! Maybe I can just shove your face into the dirt? Could be fun, don’t you think?”
One less order fool would be great, honestly. “Or I could just like. Drown you in some water, I think there’s a fountain just up the way? The would would be so much better off without you don’t you think? Oh! Or I could take your starseed, that would work too. What do you say?”
Her bubble wand was in her hand and she twirled it through her fingers, grinning.

"Again. Been there, done that. I've. Had. Worse." He grumbled. "But you might be right, by all means. Bitches first." Necro said, bowing a little and holding his hands out to the side for her to lead the way.
Oh. No she wanted to do things the boring way.
"I'm not repeating myself a third time." He said with a sigh before he noticed her weapon. "Aw. Don't that just suck. You really got done dirty with that." Guess he'd never complain about his earlier weapon again. "Ya know, when I started, I had a fang that was probable about as long as my hand. Can't complain to much though." His bow was suddenly in his hand then.
"Wonder which one wins?"

“Oh, sassy, hm? It’s cute, but you’re going to lose if you think you can out b***h me, I’m unstoppable, let me tell you. And, it’s lame, I will agree but, it does well enough sometimes.”
As she twirled it, her fingers loosened the lid and she hummed, eyes on his bow. Just a bow. No arrows. Honestly, that was lamer than her bubble wand. At least she had something she could use.
“You went from a fang to…a bow. Doesn’t order even equip you with arrows or are you just going to bow me to death. Her hand jerked then, tossing the bubble juice right towards the Squire’s eyes. “I think I’d rather have the fang to tell the truth.”

Necro rolled his eyes as she continued her little monologue. "I don't care if I could out b***h you, nor would I want to." He said flatly, watching her.
"Oooh I've got arrows, don't you worry about that." He said, watching her. The Squire could practically smell the weird cheap bubble solution from here. Necro would give her one thing though, she definitely caught him by surprise with that. He made a face, rubbing at his eyes with one hand. Welp, that would burn for a while. "Well, it's no poison. But I suppose it gets the job done."
Barely.
"My eyes now burn like hell, but you're now out of your bubbles." Him on the other hand... "Me though? I've still got my magic." He said, drawing the string on his bow back, and firing. ******** his eyes really burned

Magic: Necromanteion draws his bow and fires what appears to be an arrow made of shadows. If struck, the intended target is wrapped in black and blue flames that absorbs the other's energy, leaving them feeling cold. The more they struggle within the bindings, the faster their energy levels drop. The flames are cold to the tough, rather than warm and smell of hot metal and sulfur. When Necro dismisses the magic the energy is returned to the owner slowly. Necromanteion has a magic pool of 35 seconds. With a Range of 8ft.

Perfect hit. Thulite felt so utterly smug and didn’t care to even bother listening to him brag that he had arrows. Sure, Jan. If he had arrows, he should have been using them by now, actually fighting and not just acting like he had sense, because he obviously didn’t.
Of course. Order did keep throwing magic at her. And that seemed to be what this a*****e was going to do as well…and that…she should have thought of that. It was just…she didn’t fight that often with people who had any fight in them, so the idea of magic, of…well. Not losing but…getting in a not great situation wasn’t ever in the front of her mind.
The stupid magical arrow hit her though and flames erupted. Thulite grew still, not wanting to be burnt, but…no, it suddenly felt colder, and she felt…kind of tired but…hm. It couldn't last forever. Like with the beefy gray guy’s magic, Thulite stayed as still as possible, hoping that the effects would pass…though. If someone else showed up again to ‘help’...she wouldn’t let them.
“Interesting. Cute party trick you have.”

Ugh, he was already so over this. But things could be worse, so he supposed things weren't all that bad. Still, he rubbed at his eyes again with a scowl. "You think so? I think it's pretty neat too." He said, trying to keep his tone chipper to irritate her, despite his own aggravation towards the situation. "How about you. Holding up okay over there? It's not to... 'hot' for you over there is it? Or do you suddenly have 'cold' feet." The Squire said with a grin.
Was it corny? Absolutely. Did he care? Absolutely not. It was the Lieutenant's fault.
"So uh, you at least wanna trade names? Or do you wanna pretend this little embarrassment didn't happen."

“Wow. Just when I thought you couldn’t get more lame, you’re cracking dad jokes. Father of the year over here everyone. How about you just leave. That sounds like it would work out best for me. But if you want to give me your name I’ll happily tell my General and get some kind of…Twilight Bark out on you. Just for funsies. Or, like I said. You can just leave.”
And she would leave and…while she wouldn’t pretend that this didn’t happen...she would collect some information on the magic…maybe there were things to learn.

"Well if you're going to act like a spoiled child, someone has to be the adult." Necro sneered. "I would like to remind you that you started this bullshit, clearly out ranked and where did it land your a**?" He fixed her with a flat stare when she tried to make her own poor pun.
That was absolutely not how that worked.
"You're just a delight at parties, aren't you?"
Whatever.
"I suppose I'll save you further embarrassment and just leave. That way when you have to explain it, you don't have to hear me say I told you so when your boss tells you it's dumb to pick a fight with someone outside of your rank." He then fixed her with a bright smile and a wave. "Buh-bye now."
