Paulina Benson

Nodding in agreement, Paulina collapsed the four images into two, one for each circle. "I know, right? And check this out. At the exact same moment that your brain activity goes nuts, mine goes almost completely flat. The areas responsible for autonomic functions act at a reduced, but constant rate, indicating that I am still perfectly alive, while higher brain functions go almost completely dark. Which would correspond with you pulling "me" out of my body and into yours, then putting your "self" into my body." An eager note entered Liam's voice, and the expression on his face looked like she couldn't decide if she was focused or excited. In truth, it was both, given that she was effectively looking at physical, verifiable proof of the existence of the soul. It was one thing to claim that souls were real (not that she'd ever had a reason to doubt Liam), but proving it? That was something else entirely.

When he suggested that it was time to swap back, she dismissed both magic images, nodding happily. "Sure thing! Lets get back into the circles; I don't want to miss any data, and repetition is key." As they stepped inside the chalk lines, and Liam made his offer to see more that night, she gave him a coy smile. "Mmmh, I like the sound of that. I can think of quite a few rigorous experiments that we could try," she whispered, her tone clearly implying what kind of "experiments" she had in mind. Even in the midst of a potential scientific and theological breakthrough, Paulina's mind seldom strayed far from the gutter. That's just the way she was.

Once she was back in her proper body, Paulina swayed slightly, and shook her head. The sudden change in perspective was disorienting, but passed quickly, and in a heartbeat she was calling up the brain images again. "See? There it is again! Your brain activity goes all Jackson Pollock, while I'm practically in a coma, then both are back to normal. That would support a hypothesis that the soul, conscious will, whatever you want to call it, everything that makes you "you", is primarily distributed across the higher brain functions." A thought occurred to her, and suddenly she was nearly bouncing on her feet, rapidly snapping her fingers. "Oooh! Oooh! Idea!" Abruptly, she grabbed Liam's head in both hands, inadvertently giving him a slight shake with each word. "Next field trip! You! Me! Hospital! Eeeh, this is so exciting!"

@sMoKe So that I understand things, you had Lilith's Gengar come up out of the ground in front of Shade and lick her?

As a recommendation for the future, when you do something with/to another person's character, could you mention them in the post? Makes things easier to figure out what's happening to whom and who needs to respond.

Nasty plot

Fling

Okay, cool. Whst about moves that are available to evolutions? For example, there's a couple moves that Sneasel can't learn, but that it's Gen 4 evolution Weavile learns naturally. Since we're limited to Gen 3 and below, does that mean Sneasel flat out can't use those moves?

@A Tattooed Girl question because it hasn't been clearly established: when you say that our Pokemon can use any move, do you mean any move they can learn naturally, or any move they can learn period? TM's, breeding, tutoring?

Paulina Benson

Catching the disapproving scowl the gym instructor was giving them, Paulina laughed and let the waistband of Liam’s gym shorts snap closed, holding up his hands. ”Don’t worry, we’ll keep things PG for everybody. Just having a little fun is all.” She stepped out of the chalk circle and knelt down, tracing one of the runes with his finger. “Now, let’s see what we were able to pick up, hmm?” Sending a pulse of energy into the rune, she smiled as a holographic copy of the circle rose up off the floor and rotated to be perpendicular to it. Inside the circle, a life-sized 3D image of Liam’s brain formed, the magic light forming it glowing and dimming in various areas. “Good to know I can still do this in your body. Makes things a lot easier,” she commented, touching one of the floating runes, “So, what happened?”

For several seconds, there was no noticeable change in the image, then suddenly it lit up brightly everywhere at once, fluctuating crazily, and settled back down just as quickly. Paulina frowned, gesturing with her hands to separate the images into two seemingly identical ones, additional circles appearing beside them, each containing three moving, wavy lines. “Huh. That’s interesting.”

Turning from the floating circle, she moved to the one Liam was standing him, shooing him out of it and repeating the entire process, until she was intently studying four brain images, rubbing his chin with his hand. “Really interesting,” she murmured.

I'll try to have something up tomorrow.

Legends Among Us (Pokemon RP) (closed)

If his previous OOC post was any indication, then I don't think we will be seeing him for quite some time, let alone for the duration of the battle. Are we giving him another three days before you take over?

I'm curious to see how many people catch on to what Rebeca is doing.

Shade

---

A faint rustling sound came from the tree behind Jackson, and a dark shape dropped down onto his back. Before anyone could breath, the Sneasel unsheathed one of its claws and pressed it up against the former Regime soldier’s throat, perfectly placed to slice a line straight across. It would take much less than a minute for him to bleed out, though he would be dead well before then from his lungs filling with his own blood.

For several heartbeats, silence fell over the group, then a feminine voice called out from the trees. ”What are you waiting for, Razor? Kill him.”

The Sneasel’s eyes flicked between its captive and the group standing before them several times, and it made a sound that was somewhere between a hiss and squeak.

”What do you mean, “no”?” Shade stepped out of the trees, scowling harshly. She was pissed that the scientist girl had survived, and not in any mood to be merciful. ”He’s Regime, we kill bastards like him.” Razor answered with a chittering noise, though he didn’t remove his claw from Jackson’s throat, and Shade’s scowl became even darker. ”I don’t care what he said! He’s with the Regime, he deserves to die.”
