[quote=@j8cob] True dat. Tis why Hana is still sheathed. But guise... What kind of "battle mode" phrases would fit all the characters? For instance: when Hana gets serious, she becomes [i]unsheathed[/i]. That kind of thing, to add epicness. I can think of a few for my characters. Ajax: Time to erupt. Piper: Time to lock and load. Stacy: Time to grab a beer. [/quote] Jeanne: [i]Silence, as light seems to shimmer and feathers slowly descend from her wings akin to the fiery pretense of autumn into the bitter, chilling freeze of winter. The thin black lines of onyx tears that trace down her ivory-clad cheeks thicken, as if mourning the ill fortuned future that her opponents are soon to face.[/i]
