Stasis (Natsume thread with others)

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods and smiles tremulously. "Mmm...Hai, but...how will you know?" Ami asks seriously, with a slight, soft edge to her voice, seeking reassurance.

"When I get the upper hand, I can't let up, or she retakes the initiative." Ami explains. "I...may be forced to kill her, if that's possible."

[Halbarad]

"I DON'T know for sure, Ami," Usagi admits. "All I can do is try to judge when the best time will be. If it doesn't come, and you do have to kill her, then do what you have to - she's got to be stopped, one way or another."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami makes a face, but nods and smiles a little, as though she'd already known, but needed to hear it out loud. "I understand." she replies softly, setting her jaw. "I'll do what I need to."

[Midnight Sun]

"If she is as mentally unwound as you say she is, Ami-chan," Natsume says. "Then...perhaps, if it comes to that, death would be a release for her. Whose to say that isn't what she is seeking now..."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami blinks, Celcia's ravings about being touched by ice beginning to make more sense, in that respect. "Perhaps...Perhaps you're right, Natsume-chan...It certainly would fit..." she muses, rubbing her eyes. "I wish I didn't have to be the one to do it, but I suppose I chose the job for myself when I pulled her into my talisman."

OOC - Usagi, Soul check. Ami, soul check -2.

As you lie there, your body aches dully. The heat of the garden is unpleasant, yet..ugh....

You don't feel so well, suddenly.

[Anastasia]

<Halbarad> roll 2d6 for soul
* Hatbot --> "Halbarad rolls 2d6 for soul and gets 6."
<Ami-chan> roll 2d6-2
* Hatbot --> "Mistress_Ami rolls 2d6-2 and gets 1."

Usagi - You see Ami's entwined energy flare and clash suddenly, a great storm of blue and whites meeting in a brutal brawl.

Ami - You gasp as your body hurts, then as....you feel HER fingers across you, assaulting and prying...

[Bean Bandit]

Ami arches sharply, gasping with she shock of the pain, crying out and suddenly curling into a ball, trying to resist with a bewildered shock, squeezing her eyes shut, and trying to push the pain down, manage it somehow...

[Halbarad]

Usagi grimaces at the sudden and violent meeting of energies, taking the opportunity to squeeze Ami's hand. "Hang on, Ami-chan - you've been beating her so far, just keep it up."

[Anastasia]

OOC - Ami, Soul check.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Ana rolls 2d6 and gets 5."
<Ami-chan> roll 2d6
* Hatbot --> "Mistress_Ami rolls 2d6 and gets 7."

You shove back as best you can, as you feel her ripping at you...

Ami shudders, as the spectral claws of her nemesis wrack her body and spirit. Her cry of pain is heartbreaking, even as you feel her energies doing battle against the ferocious assault.

[Bean Bandit]

HurtbadpaininsidesonfirehurtshurtshurtsgoAWAY! Ami writhes, shaking as she tries to curl in on herself tighter, shoving hard against the her unseen tormentor, almost spiritually flailing, desperate to get away, as, as if from a great distance, a sob burts from her throat...

[Midnight Sun]

"Ami!" Natsume shouts, taken a back momentarily by Ami's sudden pain wracked spasms. She quickly grasps the girl's other hand, hoping to lend some kind of support. "Please, whatever happens, never forget the faith we all have in you. Remember the bokuto I gave you that night, I gave it to you because I knew it would be in the hands of someone with an exceptionally strong spirit. Make your spirit into a sword and you can strike down anything! I know it."

[Anastasia]

Natsume's words echo in Ami's mind, as she thrusts and lashes out at the spiritual war...

OOC - Soul check +1, Ami, and make a reaction if you like.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "Mistress_Ami rolls 2d6+1 and gets 11."

Ami arches upa gain, going rigid before collasping hard on the ground. Her breathing labors before settling, as her auras fade back into her inner spirit again. An intense burst of cold comes from her body, icing over the plants here and causing you to shiver! (5 damage to all in the area)

Cyprine and Ptilol grit their teeth at this, quickly chanting as a sphere of red and blue energy appears around Ami. It knocks Natsume back, as the icy and frozen genious continues her battle.
