Raypoint (Ami thread)

[Bean Bandit]

Ami shudders and twists to the side, shoving out against the Mau hard. "I said stay AWAY!"  she screams, beginning to feel deeply, deeply afraid...

[Anastasia]

With the shove and the world shaking, the two of you seperate a degree, giving you a chance to recover. Artemis scowls, seeming to look away, as if distracted by something..."Damn it," he(she?) mutters, seeming to focus away.

[Bean Bandit]

Again, Ami lunges for the view if the other Artemis, distracting Celcia's puppet from attacking her. "Let me out!"

[Anastasia]

The view flickers once again, Artemis's face blinking. "Did you just say that, Ami," he asks, seeming to be moving, grunting, as if wresting with your outer body. "Ami, fight her! Do it!"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami shivers, remembering the mention of a knife, and a horrified, Icy cold bleeds into her consciousness, beating back the exhaustion. "Celcia!DON'T YOU HURT HIM!" she all but screams, desperately clawing her way up to the image. Horror at what she might have caused, or might yet cause, should she not be able to retake her own body lends her a near crazed energy, and she fairly blazes with anger.

[Anastasia]

As you resist your binds and claw upward, the other Artemis turns to you, advancing at you! "That's enough from both of you," it grunts, coming to you, a flash of bright cold coming from it's hand!

* Hatbot --> "Ana-chan rolls 2d6 and gets 9."

* Hatbot --> "Mistress_Ami rolls 2d6 for escapiness, and gets 5."

Miss! It misses by a narrow margin, a twist of your body just evading it! The fake Artemis continues to drift closer, as you approach the image above!

[Bean Bandit]

Ami relentlessly struggles back toward the real Artemis, redoubling her efforts, not wasting any more effort on speech, simply intent on reaching and saving her best friend...

[Anastasia]

Rushing! Rushing to it...gah!

As you hover merely a foot away, you feel a hand on your ankle tight! It prevents you from going, a look  down showing Celcia in place of Artemis now. Shivers pass through your body as she holds you, reaching up!

OOC - Your reaction, etc.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami, almost beyond rational thought, kicks hard at Celcia's face, fueled burning hate for the....thing that tried to use the most precious thing she has against her, and took her first time, as well.

[Anastasia]

The kick hits home firmly, as your....

Whooosh!

Awareness seems to come back fully as you see Artemis above you. You're so cold, Artemis shivering as he pins youdown grimly. "Come on, Ami," he hisses, desperately. Besides that, your blue arm draws your attention, the Talisman glowing like ice caught in the form of fire.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami takes a deep breath as she comes back to awareness, looking wildly around before the bracelet catches her attention. "Get this off of me!" Ami shrieks, shaking badly, adrenaline and fright shifting her goals now that she's alive again!

Desperately, Ami dips into her nearly depleted reserved, and tries to muster enough energy to fuel her affinity with ice into removing Celcia's toehold into her body.

[Anastasia]

Artemis starts as your yell, but nods quickly as he reaches for your Talisman! As he does so, you focus your will onto your body! It meets another, as the blue, up toyour shoulder, shrinks back slightly!

"AH!" Artemis winces, his hand darting off as bits and patches of ice form on it from the momentary contact. "I can't even grasp it, Ami," he exclaims to you.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami doesn't even acknowlege the statement, depserately trying to hold the advance at bay, and reaching out, desperately trying to restock depleted energy reserves...

[Anastasia]

While you can't seem to gather you energy, your instinctive responde does keep the advance at bay a little longer - even as you feel a tugging down again.

Artemis looks around desperately, before reaching and coming  up with what looks to be a frigid ice knife, formed and wickedly jagged. "It's worth a shot...I'm going to try and cut your Talisman," he says quickly, trying not to let go of the starting to melt weapon.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami, narrowing her focus to keep Celcia's energy at bay nods tersely. "If that doesnt work, cut my arm." she replies with bleak, flat force, her thoughts coming quickly, and with grim clarity edged with desperation. "I can't handle a prolonged battle..."
