[IC] Orphange for the Unusual

[Vindle]

Vindle took the dual swords. Linking them with his powers was visible, having darkness cover the swords. Vindle then adjusted the sharp blades much more duller. Though it wasn't like he was going to be able to land a hit on the housekeeper anyway.
He then went to the opposite side of the field. He figured it'd be best to let the housekeeper approach him first.

[KatherinWinter]

The housekeeper smiled as two swords appeared in her hands. She approached the boy. "Can you use those or are they for show?"

[Vindle]

"Since you can mimic me, I guess we'll find out, right?" Vindle replied back.

[KatherinWinter]

"Points for you." The housekeeper congratulated him. "You are the first to figure out that I can mimic others. I can only mimic your ability not your skill. Lets see if you are as skilled as I am." The housekeeper swung one of the blades at him.

[Vindle]

"That's what I thought. Word on the streets get around fast after all." Vindle said, dodging the blade just barely.
"Though the streets also provide practice for my skills, of course." he added after dodging.

[KatherinWinter]

"Not bad. The streets can teach you a lot but they can't teach you everything. Can you do anything besides dodge?" The housekeeper taunted.

[Vindle]

"They do teach you a lot, yes. Dodging may be everything I need, to be honest." Vindle said. He didn't think it was possible, but now he was thinking there may be a chance to beat the housekeeper. As long as he focused and thought quickly, and didn't give in to any taunt.

[KatherinWinter]

"Dodging will keep you alive but it wont win you any fights." The housekeep swung a blade at him, "If you can't defeat your opponent you will die."

[Vindle]

"Hmm, expand your thinking a bit more. The problem is that your thinking inside the box too much. For example, what if I can dodge longer than you can swing?" Vindle said. Even though he was talking calmly, he was just barely dodging these swings. It's true Vindle's endurance of moving around was beyond comprehension, but if he got hit he'd have to think very fast.

[KatherinWinter]

"So you are pinning your life on out lasting your opponent?" The housekeeper shook her head. "That is a terrible strategy." The housekeeper backed Vindle the far wall. "What are you going to do now?"

[Vindle]

"Seems I've gotten myself in a bit if trouble. I don't know how to sink back into shadows yet, either. Hey, mind if I ask you something?" Vindle said, deciding to swing the two blades towards the housekeeper.

[KatherinWinter]

"Ask anything you want to." the housekeeper told him.

[PsychoticBreakDown]

Sarah watched and throughout to her self. What can I do to win this fight since she can mimic our powers but not our ability ok well have the power to control wind in all is fun but being able to use that to get away from you enemy by well the limits of the ceiling is another. The only thing other than cyclones Sarah can kinda control if floating on the air which would be helpful since well the power is warrantless needs to be controlled but isn't that why she likes it.
You stand outside on a windy day, your hair blowing everywhere. Don't you just want to go were ever it takes you. Then have the power to let the wind just take you, then yes she loved her power but like the wind you can't control it.

[Vindle]

"How might you know that the streets teach a lot? Many would just say the streets do nothing but turn people into criminals." Vindle said.

[KatherinWinter]

"I lived on the streets too boy. It was long ago but I doubt they have changed much. I have also been the housekeeper of this orphanage for most of my adult life. I have seen what the streets teach." The housekeeper told him. Now go sit down we're going to learn self defense."

[Vindle]

"I figured as much." Vindle said, going back to his seat.

[KatherinWinter]

"Now you are probably wondering how self-defense is different from what we just did. The answer is simple. In self defense you will not be allowed to use your powers. How would like to give it a try?" The housekeeper explained.

[a00000000000]

"I will try." chip said as he stood up.

"Volunteering twice in one day? Interesting." The housekeeper commented. Lets see what you can do."

[CallaLily180]

Cassedy sighed, she wished all these people would let her try. It didn't seem right that they got so many tuns, but that was just her opinion. "Housekeeper, can I go next?"
