We have added a few things to the requirements to power and ability upgrades. Be sure and read the details in the most recent update when you request a new power / upgrade.
Well, its the weekend here at MHS. Wouldn't it be great if all schools started on a Friday for the first day of school. What a way to start off. You get a weekend right after your first day. Well, this is because we are done with the first day of class. How so you ask. As you only went to one class. yes, but I am sure that doing the same thing for each class would get boring. So the one class you experienced is basically how all the classes are going to be.
Teacher posts role. Day gets started, end of class happens, everyone goes to their next class, or home..
Well, ezboard still hasn't confirmed anything on a final date when everything is changed over to Yuku. And we are working on what to do next. We all want user friendliness after everything is changed away from Ezbaord, and we are trying everything we can to ensure that we have just that when we are at a new board hosting site.
We have a guest book. Take a look. If you haven't taken a look yet, be sure and do so. ^_^

Summer Snow (SL)
It was nighttime, and the sun had fallen. Darkness covered the campus, pierced by the illumination of the full moon and the many stars that specked the sky. The clear night made it a good time to walk the campus, to enjoy the peacefulness. Which was what Knives did every night, unless it was miserable and rainy. And it was neither tonight.
The lake wasn't his destination tonight; which was strange, since it was his favorite place to go at this time. Instead, he was travelling through the forest, enjoying the sounds of night creatures, and the way that the light trickled through the canopy above. It was enjoyable for him; these things added to the peacefulness.
As he walked, hands deep in the pockets of his khaki shorts, his blue eyes wandered about the area around him, taking in the sights. his German Sheppard dog ears twitched, listening to all of the relaxing noises that came with nighttime walks. A sigh escaped him. He definitely enjoyed this, but there was one thing missing....
And that one thing was company. He liked how peaceful it was, but he was a social person. But he just shrugged it off. Everyone was probably asleep right now. And this moment gave him the chance to think: something he couldn't do during the day, when he was with his friends.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
"Evening Knives." Said a sweet and gentle voice from above...in a tree at least. The girl was shrouded in darkness as her dress blended with them. The white wings looked luminous, apparent against shadows. She waved of course, kindly as usual.
Not everyone slept peacefully...or slept at all. A few of the students were walkers of the night, existing in darkness and dreams. One of those students was Amber Ramius, who often found herself in the forest to train at night when sleep was elusive. The winged girl carried her sword on her back; rarely she would leave it behind for fear of things waiting for her, waiting to ensnare her...
None of that tonight, thank goodness. She took care as she hopped down and landed softly, almost a float to join her friend's side.
"You startled me."
Hence why she had been in a tree in the first place.
Re: Summer Snow (SL)
There are demons in the forest. V tries to avoid demons. Ergo, V is not to be found in the forest.
The logic is perfect. There is no way around it. Except V is in the forest. The lovely, golden-haired girl is dressed in black, as usual, and would be invisible, if it weren't for her pale, luminous skin; her bright, shining hair; her bright, gold eyes. She has one hand out, two fingers resting in the air, and the others curled inward. She's walking carefully, steadily; occasionally her fingers pinch closed and she walks around a tree. Then the fingers unpinch; she walks straight, again.
Until, until, until -- Knives will smell her. Any one with sharp ears will probably hear her.
Re: Summer Snow (SL)
Reikia stumbled along the path cursing herself. It would just be like her to get lost, to get lost yet be so loud. Being silent wouldn’t make much difference to her being found though. Her bright blue hair, tied back in a white band, made it virtually impossible to do so. She was an easy target, a target from what, who knows?
Stopping and leaning on a tree, she caught her breath. She had been walking a long time, even though she knew she should have turned back already. She silently thought about what to do. It was stupid walking around, being so loud. Sure, she wanted to be unlost, to not be alone, but that only depended on the company. She had no idea what was in this forest, and didn’t want to attract anything treacherous anymore then necessary.
Suddenly she heard a voice speaking nearby. Cautiously she walked towards the sound, spying a snow winged woman and guy with dog like ears. She didn’t revel herself though, trying her best to hide, not one of her strong points. She didn’t know them, and thought it would be best at the moment to keep out of sight, till she figured out what to do in her predicament.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
Nyoko couldn't sleep at all, which was very unusual for her. It was very rare that Nyoko found herself awake at night, even during her nightmares, she couldn't wake up. And yet, tonight, she was awake, but not for no reason. Nyoko was awake because some one was calling her name. She could barely hear it and it seemed so far off. But whatever is was calling her, Nyoko couldn't sleep until it stopped. And so, despite the fact she had no idea where she was going, Nyoko wandered off out of her dorm and outside, toward the forest. She had doubts about going alone, but as her parents had told her, it's not good to wake up sleeping people. Sleep was very important, which is why Nyoko was trying to get some by making this person stop saying her name.
Dress in her usually purple and pink dress, but in night gown form, she was dressed ready for bed, except she had a jacket on. She still wasn't skilled enough to dress herself and she even had trouble just putting on her jacket, but Nyoko didn't think it'd matter too much if she walked outside in a night gown. She didn't know any better. Slowly making her way to the forest, Nyoko's bare feet started could feel the warm ground and while she didn't pay any mind, she was lucky enough to avoid anything that might stick of stab her bare feet. Then, while still hearing her name, Nyoko heard other voice, coming from the same direction as the voice that was saying her name.
Popping out from behind a tree, Nyoko almost stumbled over a girl that was watching the two other people talking. "E-excuse me..." Nyoko said to the barely seeable figure in broken English. She blinked, trying to make the girl, but she then heard her name again, louder this time. Nyoko looked up, blinking and turning to the group where she saw some one she recognize. "Amber..." She said slowly, pronouncing her name correctly as she stepped towards them. "Were y-you the one c-calling my name?" She muttered in broken English again. But just as she finished speaking, the forest seemed to light up a bit. Then, from above them, gold snow started to fall on and around the group and shortly after that, the air started to get a bit cold, but not the snow.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)"You startled me."
Knives looked up at the figure that floated down towards him. He wasn't surprised at the appearance of Amber above him; he was part dog, and could smell her distinct scent from a mile off. When he saw her, he gave his big, friendly grin, stopping to talk to her as she landed beside him.
"Sorry bout that. I wasn't expecting to see you out here again....bad dreams, like before?" He frowned, and tilted his head to the side. It was something that bothered him; she was his friend, and although they hadn't gotten the chance to spend much time together, he didn't want something like that bothering her. Especially after he had experienced one of the "dreams" with her before, and knew at least a little of what was going on with her. "If you want, we can walk together, and I can try to help.."
Before he could say or do much else, though, several sounds caught his attention: sounds of movement, of branches crunching underfoot. There was someone or something behind them on the path. In reaction to this, he tilted his head back and sniffed the air to see what it was. Two his surprise, it wasn't one, but three different people: though he could only recognize one of the scents. With a smirk, he turned to look at Amber.
"It seems we have company. And one of em is V." Knives knew that V and Amber were good friends: he could tell by the way that they acted towards each other in class. So, he assumed that the arrival of V would make Amber happy. But the other scents...were they students? Knives turned around, to look in the direction of the two....he'd realized that they were right behind him, hiding behind the tree. But they smelled like girls....and Knives wasn't about to attack girls without reason.
He saw both of them, and gave a big smile. "Hey there, you two...wanna join us?" He glanced at Amber, as if asking her permission.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
At night is when Merciah usually stalks the night around the campus. He searches the especially dadark places, those mostly exist in the deeper recess of the forest at the edge of campus. Seperating the mountains and the teh Meadows. After a year of hunting beasts both large and small, magical and mundane, Merciah has learned one very useful skill. That of trvelling upwind. His great senses are helpful, as he can some times smell them like they would smell him if he were traveling the from the otehr direction.
Picking up a scent, that seems partially familiar, Merciah is cautious as he encloses on the large group of students. Stopping just far enough to hear there voices, Merciah recognizes enough of them to know that he would not be in conflict making himself known, so he walks up to the group, just as a golden snow begins to fall from overhead. Out lining his dark read robes that he wears this evening.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
"You know my odd sleep patterns..." She said to Knives, "Well, nightmares are part of it, but I feel better at night."
One after the other, two others joined them. Amber probably seemed visibly surprised to see both V and Nyoko out in the forest at night. For V, it seemed to be a rare occurance; but Nyoko...well she was small and cute, not one to be outside in a dangerous place. There were others with them, probably two but remained out of sight. Knives could probably hear them, smell them. Amber could only feel that twinge in the back of her head and watch the gentle-colored pulses of the pendulum tied to her wrist like a bracelet.
However she smiled at V-chan arrival. While Knives suggested the other hidden souls to join them,
(In which she cheerfully echoed his invitation: "Yes, come join us!")
she listened to Nyoko's question with her head tilted in a gesture of curiousity. Well, that answered her question of why Nyoko was out this late, but still the question was odd. Amber shook her head.
"Ah, no Nyoko, I didn't call your name. Why do you-?"
Yes, Amber was certain of what she was seeing, falling from the night sky. Golden snow, brilliant and silently around them! Like a curious kitten, Amber held out her hand to catch one.
Re: Summer Snow (SL)
V joins the small collection of students in the forest. (They're all assembled, now.) When Amber smiles at her, V nods (so slightly, miminalist) in acknowledement. The exceedingly perceptive might notice that her eyes drop, brief, to her fingers, follow a line to Amber's chest. Then she brushes her fingers off (likely, the stuff of flashbacks, don't notice now, but later remember). Her glance sweeps and includes Rei (who's not so hidden anymore, neh?), Knives (as exuberant as ever) and Nyoko (as hesitant as a cat).
Then the air lightens ( like magic) and gold snow begins to fall. To say that V regards the snow as if it might begin to burn their flesh off -- would be a completely accurate statement.
"What is it?"

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
Reikia had silently followed them into the assembly. She never had expected to see this many people here, especially at this time of night. Suddenly she felt a cold chill and golden snowflakes were falling all around them. Surprised she held out a hand, she couldn’t remember ever experiencing weather like this. Not even snow. Where she lived it was more like grey wet slush. This however was different, and somewhat of an unusual colour.
Uncertain, she looked around the grouping, a hand in her mouth biting a knar finger nail. She didn’t really recognise anyone except V, who was acting like the magnificent snow was acid. She heard V and a girl she had never met before with wings, comment on this unusual spectacle. She, however, remained soundless, watching the snow flakes gracefully drop all around them, illuminating the tree inherited sky around the area.
Re: Summer Snow (SL)
Nyoko blinked and looked at the two as Amber answered her question. "Then who is...?" She asked herself more than Amber as she looked up to see the snow. It was gold and it was very pretty as it slowly fell around and on them. "It's p-pretty..." She said holding her hand out to touch it. "But it's n-not cold..." She continued to say as the air around them got cold, but the snow wasn't. She looked at Amber and then the boy with dog ears. "Is this was snow is like here?" She asked in near perfect English as the snow started to cover the ground and give it gold coating. Ten, after hearing that gold snow was suppose to be odd, Nyoko looking at it again as it started to pile into her hand. "So all snow is white then?" She concluded, turning her hand over and dropping what snow was in it. Still confused and ready to ask another question, a slight rumbling stopped her from speaking.
There were no signs of anything at first, but something did happen. A man, in his mid-twenties, appeared wearing a white business suit, white gloves, and a white top hat. He looked like some kind of entertainer from Vegas and even had a cane. He strolled toward the group, looking down and not facing them at first. Then, he suddenly popped his head up with a wide smile. "It seems that this was the perfect place to hide it." He started to say, looking at the students and already knowing of the hidden ones. "No matter, I shall make this quick." He said as he set his cane to the ground and leaned on it.
Nyoko looked at the man and instantly recognized his voice when he spoke. He was the only calling her. Leaning over to Amber, she whispered. "He was the one c-calling me." Now gazing upon the group, the man sighed. "Hello kids... My name is Hyde Aye and I wish to speak with one of you." As he spoke, he pulled over a cube from his pocket. "But it seems that this thing has attracted more than what I needed, so...." He started, ignoring any of the rambling the student might have. He paused for a moment, trying to think of how he could go at this without revealing his motives.
"We are going to weed out the unnecessary lot. Welcome to my home of Summer Snow." And as his said those words, the space around them suddenly started to change. All the trees disappeared and the sky turned a bright white. The snow had stopped, but the entire ground was covered with a thin sheet of gold snow. Hyde bowed to the group, smiling. "This is my power. I create a space that I can control at my will. And so, the one I'm looking for is obviously the strongest, so if you live, I'll be very happy. Good bye for now!" And with that, the man disappeared without even attempting to listen to or answer any questions from the group.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
"You know my odd sleep patterns...Well, nightmares are part of it, but I feel better at night."
He laughed a little, turning to look at her. His hand found its way to the back of his head, scratching it a bit. She did seem to have abnormal sleeping patterns, as this was the second time they'd met like this. Yet he wasn't really one to talk; he was often up until the early hours of the morning, before sleeping in until afternoon the next day. Most would consider his normal sleeping hours very strange, but he liked them perfectly.
"Yeah," He said with a laugh, "You do have funny sleeping patterns." Then, he gave her a shrug to let her know it wasn't a big deal.
Then, two new scents. One was downwind of him, so it was rather faint, and the other was a completely unrecognizeable one that seemed irrelevant at the moment. He ignored that one. Instead, he turned to see as V and two girls he hadn't yet met appeared from behind a tree. He gave V a big, friendly smile, and a wave - she was the only one he knew. Then, he gave a similar friendly smile to the other girls, motioning with his hand for them to come to the group: which it seemed they did.
Ah...this is very odd, ne?"
Knives blinked, drawing his eyes away from the newcomers to gaze over, first at Amber's face, then down to whatever she is holding in her hands. He blinked. Very odd, it was, indeed. A thoughtful frown appeared on his lips, as he looked all around them, at the blanket of this strange snow that covered the ground. Then, he smirked, and laughed a little, smiling at all of the girls. "I guess it's golden snow. I mean....we are at a very strange school. Why can't we have very strange weather?"
The unrecognizeable scent became more prominent behind him. That was reason enough for Knives to turn around to see exactly what it was. He wasn't very impressed with the way the man was dressed, but it didn't bother him either. In fact, he acted like he barely noticed that the man seemed rich. Knives listened to his speech, and then laughed a little at the mention of the gold snow being his power - "Awesome! I wish I could make snow...." - and then, before he knew it, the scene shifted...
"...And so, the one I'm looking for is obviously the strongest, so if you live, I'll be very happy...."
Knives blinked again, looking around. "What the hell..?" He wondered aloud, walking around in a small circle as his blue eyes wandered across the new landscape. He sighed, and his hand came to rest upon the hilt of his sword, just in case. After all, the man's words had made it sound like they'd need to survive...well, something....
"Alright...anyone know what's going on?" He looked around at the other faces around him.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
Approaching the students, Merciah looks around the group, recognizing a few before the entire scene shifts. A man, in a white suit with a cane seems to be addressing them. Merciah even almost misses the whole thing as the surroundings change and he tries to capture with his observation as good as he may.
Just before the man leaves, he mentions something about them having to survive. The first thing Merciah does is look at the students around him and make sure none are panicking, and the greatest action he sees from the start, is the dog boy as he moves his hand to the hilt of his sword. Thinking it good as he doesn't draw the weapon, less he causes panic among the rest of those around him.
The next thing Merciah checks is the surroundings, and he scourers everything with his eyes, and listens for the the simplest sound that might come from something other then the students, he even pays attention to the vibration's on the ground ground, feeling for anything that might be subsurface, and to add, any strange scent, though the entire area has a different scent, as they appear to nolonger be in the Forest of Itami.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
No, the snow was not normal. What happens happens at a rather fast pace: A twenty something gentleman in an suit fit to entertain guests would reveal himself to them and speak to them in a dismissing manner. Nyoko pointed him out as the one calling to her; lucky that Amber kept her eyes on him. A quick flash some something darker as her hand immediately gripped her sword, ready for whatever may come.
Hyde Aye.
The House of Summer Snow, sounding very much like a odd funhouse the way he said it. And he planned to weed out the weaker ones or something similar, he had said that much before he would vanish off. What a strange man, vanishing from sight the way devils and angels do; but he didn't carry the same feeling thankfully. Once he was gone, Amber relaxed but her hand remained on her sword.
"Ara-ara, not good at all." She said gently, sighing once and her wings drooping mimicing her mood. "It's always troublesome...and now we're all involved."
While Hyde Aye speaks, Merciah materializes, wary, and Knives regards the snow with puppish enthusiasm, and the trees fade into a white sky, she looks around, and then the trees are gone. Before Mr. Hyde Aye has finished speaking, he has her attention again. If you live, he says, and, I'll be very happy, and as he says that, V snatches at the air with one hand. This quick, elegant gesture, and then he's gone. Vanished.
She exchanges a glance with Amber (cute Nyoko half-hiding behind). Then glances at Reikia. And then answers (or attempts to) Knives' question: "If this is a space he can control at will, and our lives are in danger, we need to leave this space immediately. But if he controls it and doesn't wish us to be able to. . ."
Troubled. Quietly troubled, yes, because V does not lose her composure in times of crisis. But it's there, and visible.
Re: Summer Snow (SL)
Reikia sighed, shaking her head as she did so. She always seemed surrounded by bad luck, normally she would have been in her room but deciding to take a stroll got herself lost. Not to mention here and possible in great danger. Why did she have to pick tonight for a late midnight wander?
"If this is a space he can control at will, and our lives are in danger, we need to leave this space immediately. But if he controls it and doesn't wish us to be able to…”
Reikia frowned at V’s response to Knives. Warily she glanced around the area, as if looking for potential threats or a sign which indicated ‘Exit.’ Her face, usually covered in a naive beam, was now for once serious; the ecstatic gleam vanished.
“So basically we’re screwed,” Reikia said bluntly, breaking the thoughtful silence in which had descended for an instant. It should have been a question, but the monotone way she had said it made it seem more like a statement.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)“So basically we’re screwed.”
Amber made a small nervous laugh at the unfamiliar girl's statement. Maybe it was the way she said it that triggered her reaction.
Yes, they were trapped in the dangerous forest of Itami...or at least someone's warped form of it now shaped into his power space. Yes, they would probably have to fight their way through whatever beings or obstacles that would manifest before them, and it would probably cause even more trouble for them. Amber knew Merciah and Knives could fight very well on their own, she could hold out on her own as well. As for the others...
"Ah...when you put it that way, miss...it makes the situation seem quite hopeless. But I do admit we are in a pinch."
Re: Summer Snow (SL)
Nyoko blinked and stared at the man as he gave his little speech. Alot of the words he said were hard for her to understand and the whole point of the speech just kind of flew over the top of her head. Standing there behind Amber, she blinked and amazement as the forest around them became an all white space and gold floor. No trees, no sky and no seeable limit, they were in a blank space. Of course, this confused Nyoko to no end. She didn't understand how he could change the area around them like that. All she knew is that it was him that was calling her name and she wanted to know why.
She then started to look around at everyone else. They all seemed worried about something, but Nyoko couldn’t understand what. New people had even appeared and yet, she was still as confused as ever. "What's wrong...?" Nyoko asked slowly, not understanding the danger they were all in. As for V, she got quite a mind full. The man's thread was a deep black color, showing a horrible and increasingly deadly fate. In fact, the thread was short and his end was coming very soon while it lead to him being all around within the space. His thread was entangled deeply with two other threads, one alot longer than his and the other only a bit longer. One thread, surprisingly enough was connected to Nyoko, while the other lead to a mysterious woman.
Shortly after the verbalizations of everyone's worries, the enemy had appeared. All the gold color that was on the floor moved and swirled together and a ball in front of them, leaving even more white space. The gold snow molded and formed together into a very obvious shape, a snowman. It hand arms and legs and a round tubby body just like it was made of snow that somehow stayed stuck together. It had no face at all and without warning, it attacked, slamming a hand down at Knives.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
Knives looked around at all of the people around him. Most of them were his friends, and he could tell quite easily what their emotions were, simply by the way they carried themselves or the looks on their faces. As his eyes looked back and forth at everyone, from Amber's droopy wings to the look on V's face, he could see the uneasiness they felt. None of their words were even necessary, and even seemed to hurt the situation. Especially Reikia's words: they seemed to make the others even more worried. Knives let out a deep sigh.
“So basically we’re screwed,”
Knives laughed, and shook his head. He turned to let his eyes fall upon the girl that spoke those words, his lips curling up into a smirk, and his eyes narrowed into that same playful look, with a hint of courageousness glinting within them. Then, he tilted his head to the side, cocking it back a little, adding a bit of insanity to that courage. But the smirk never faded into a look of fear. "Screwed? Nahhh.."
he puffed out his chest, and pounded a fist against it, turning his head back forward again. The insane look had only been there for a moment, and now it was gone. He simply looked proud. "We're not screwed. I know I can fight." He turned to look at Amber, "I think Amber might be better than me..." His eyes fell on Merciah, "He seems strong." Finally, he turned back to Reikia. "And I've seen what you can do." He laughed, as he turned to the last two he'd left out, V and Nyoko. "I haven't seen either of you in battle yet....but I bet you're good too." He smiled, looking around at all of them. "We can take whatever they throw at us!"
He hadn't intended to give an encouraging speech, he had simply began talking. It was true; there was no fear on his face. In fact, he wasn't very afraid at all; he was rarely afraid of much anything. It just wasn't part of his personality: he was happy and excited all the time. He was also a thrill-seeker, and a battle might mean an adrenaline rush....Maybe if he'd been alone he'd feel a little bit worried, but he knew that, with this team, they'd be fine.
Suddenly, an ear twitched. Knives had heard something behind him. And it was closing in. Knives didn't move, but the muscles in his body tensed up, ready for an attack. As the hand came down towards him, Knives leapt to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack. In mid-air, he spun around, his hand pulling his sword from its sheath. In the same movement, he made a horizontal slash, slicing towards the snowman's middle. If the creature didn't move, the blade would slice clean through it. He then landed on his feet, now facing the snowman, having done a 180-degree spin in the air. Both hands were gripping the handle of the sword now, holding it out in front of him, ready for a second attack.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)
As Knives is speaking in return to everyones reaction, Merciah is silently taking in the new surroundings around them. He has been in far to many places that have created disturbances, and this is just another of the many that he can mark on his list. Only question Merciah has though. Is this the reason for all of the attacks lately in the forest. Can this man in white be the reason so many students have ended up in the nurses office, having been attacked by creatures along the edge of the forest. Aswell these being creatures that normally don't leave the deepest parts. Only a simple moments thought allows him to brush that away. Ofcourse this isn't the reason. As this man in white has brought them out of the forest, so he wouldn't be affecting that within the forest.
Just as Merciah finishes his thoughts a large snowman from almost nowhere attacks Knives. The student swiftly avoids the attack, yet Merciah is unsure how he wouild deal with such a thing, and would rather not give the snowman the chance to hurt one of Merciah's schoolmates.
As though he hadn't even moved, yet he has, just with such great speed that he seemed to literally appear in the space that he now occupied, behind the snowman. A small sonic boom from Merciah's movement, perhaps throwing others off gaurd, yet hopefully also giving a distraction for what ever this snow man that attacked Knives enough to allow the other students attack to be succesfull.
Now visible again behind the snowman, Merciah stands though croutched low. His right foot forward with his left below him. Merciah's right hand sits out directly above his foot of the same side, not in a fist, yet not entirely open as his fingers curl to almost a close, his thumb at the top. Merciah's left hand sits just beyond his breast as it aswell is like his right hand. His stance one that even most fighters wouldn't recognize, as teh Kung Fu that he has spent his entire life learning is not one that has ever been taught outside of the temple he lived in as a child.
As soon as Knives attacks, Merciah literally leaps into action as he sends himself towards the back of the snowmans head. His fists moving so fast, that they literally appear to not move as he strikes at the rear of the creatures head. The sound of wind blowing could be heard as Merciahs fists move fast enough to crash right below the sound barrier.

Re: Summer Snow (SL)So, basically we're screwed, Rei says, and Amber, it makes the situation seem quite hopeless.
V, half-turned away, to gaze into the distance, and see what there is to see, twists ( the thread) her hand around, and around, and around, the gestures the same as what would be used to loop a strand of rope around one's wrist, and then knot it. Then she folds her arms over her chest.
( The thread shines, for those with the eyes to see, so dark and so . . . Brief.)
Knives speaks; she only half-attends. The threads of fate, the ability to see and touch them, is so new; she's not 100% sure what everything means. But she can see the prominent strands connected, can touch them, too; touch the one which quivers, so bright, straight into Nyoko's heart. She looks at the girl, who can pronounce English words perfectly one moment, and the next seem as if she just came off the boat, and her eyebrows furrow slightly.
What is this . . .
But the end of Knives' speech causes her to look at him. "Don't assume that; I can't -- "
And up comes a huge snow man, and crash, crash, crashhhh! It's massive, glittering hand descends on Knives' head like the hand of God! He, fluid, pours into action; and so does Merciah, more quickly than can be seen.
