Scenario #16 (Ivy, Aphrodite, Mei, Jade - Request in the OOC if you want to join and have a good reason for doing so)

Over the past few days, Ivy had been helping Jade to gain mastery over her powers. The girl's absolute banality vis-a-vis [i]ethical[/i] use of dark magic meant that the training would be a long and arduous process. Ivy had excelled at a young age because her difficulty in empathising with others had allowed her to use maximal force, only stopping short of actually killing her quarry.

The two, now into their fifth lesson together, were soaring over the rooftops of Ceteris. Ivy, masterfully controlling a circular plate of ice underneath her feet, was trailed closely by Jade. They were both in pursuit of a petty thief; easy target practise. His panicked and frantic scrambling across streets and alleyways suggested that he was aware of their presence. This would soon turn out to be a boon as the man's panicked state of mind hindered his ability to escape: he turned into yet another alleyway and stumbled over an errant pile of bricks.

"No witnesses." observed Ivy placidly. "Good. Contain him and slam him against the wall. Watch your power. Too hard and you'll kill him."
