Ah good point. Perhaps he smells you? I wrote that particular post in a rush.

Essentially, her sword allows her to channel her demonic essence into powerups for combat? Sounds fair to me. From what you explained in our conversation, I would say that this is perfectly alright.

Not powerups per-se, but rather just the attacks and parries that incorporate essence-channeling are superior to a standard action, with an essence cost tagged onto them. She restores her essence with mortal blood and flesh, which is why she dosen't subsist on a regular diet.

Example, a swift damage dealer like Mikazuki No Mai, or a simple more powerful attack, or a superior parry, which I feel I'm going to need agaisnt some of Kurama's scary moves. More versatile than Krylo's WMD-fist, but less powerful and a bit more costly. Requires she has her sword, and only the Angetsu Shouten, which is specifically designed for this. Offensive channeling is effective agaisnt mortals, mediocre agaisnt demons.

*laughs uproariously at his own post* sometimes I wonder about my sanity. Then I read what I write.

Chapter three? Twice? I like it! By the way Team Evil, I'm back so knock yourselves out.

Y'know, that would help team good alot. Having your enemies knock themselves out would make our jobs easier, as the only obstacles would be stepping over the bodies :p

Anyway, chapter 3 (the new one) was either a typo or a continuation. I am guessing typo.

You know Pyros, I do have my doubts about hearing Kirakiri 'breathing sneakily' as well. I'm not trying to be nit-picky but it something about it doesn't quite seem right. If Kirakiri is at rest and waiting for the people in the room to leave, why would he suddenly breathe loudly? And don't forget that this is on an airship, a craft filled to the brim with steam pipes, pistons, strange humming things and various other things that make noise.

I hope I'm not being too nitpicky. I'll leave you to decide what you want to do and whether you discover Kirakiri or not. Just make sure it makes sense.

As for the extent of Kirakiri's powers while divided, the two halves can act fully independently of each other. They are a little weaker than when he is whole and also can not mimic specific forms. The two forms also have to be relatively similiar in shape. He can't create as large forms as he can when whole and his shifting tends to be slower too. The distance they can separate is far enough that it wouldn't really come up unless someone specifically set up to take advantage of it. Let's just say, greater than the length of the airship for now and leave it at that.

EDIT: Uh, shouldn't someone on Team Evil have noticed that Kirakiri seems to have disappeared of the face of the earth? He's the type that does tend to disappear for short periods of time, but it has been a while now. There's also the fact he didn't participate in the battle.

Nobody cares about him. He has no charisma! :p

And who would honestly care about the dissappearance of a shapeshifter, when they have a hot priestess touching herself?

*looks at title of new chapter.*

......SON OF A BITCH!

Well, you can tell I wrote it at 1:00 in the morning. If someone with more modly powers *coughKrylocough* could change it to chapter 4, I would greatly appreciate it.

Waiting for another Team Evil member...one of the ones actually at the farmhouse...to post before I do.
