[Alright Asgard ARE YOU READY FOR SOMETHING AWESOME TODAY??? Because somewhere outside in the open (probably somewhere in the Hel district maybe) there is.

SOME AWESOME FIGHTING GOING ON.

And by awesome I mean there is one red leather jacket-clad kimono-wearing knife-wielding girl doing the LET'S GET DANGEROUS tango with one dual lance-wielding love-spotted Irishman aka this handsome dude right over here also known as broduil yep. IT'S A REALLY INTENSE fight with lots of insane speed and crazy hits and all that good stuff they might as well be out of an anime straight from an action movie or some crazy shit like that. Granted it's probably been only three minutes or so but this whole thing is so cool that it feels like time is stretching for eternity!!

But this is TYPE-MOON and we can't have nice things. :( So in the middle of this badass fight of badassery there's a moment where she closes her eyes and sighs, almost as if conceding something. Certainly not this fight, right? Not a moment later though her head.

You guessed it.

EXPLODES. All over her opponent and quite possibly onto you if you were standing by close enough; it's about as messy as you can imagine it to be! What a way to end a show right... About an hour later though, there's a new post on the network. For anyone who did manage to catch to catch Shiki's hideous, gruesome death, she looks quite fine! Not even a trace of blood everywhere, and remarkably unshaken up for someone who just. Y'know, died.]

Talk about a let down. What was that, five minutes? Not really enough time to do much of anything, but I'll say thanks anyways. Dying was kinda shitty I guess, but it's not really dying anyways if I'm back. Still can't call it much of a fair trade, but whatever.


[ooc: For those that would like to GAWK AND STARE at Shiki's headless body, broduil will be responding. o/\

[histories]

Apart from that! Do you know what led up to it?

[ryougi]

Guessing it's cause I got my, ah... "real" powers back.

[histories]

... And it lasted only for five minutes before... [... ugh, remembering that sight makes her feel disgusted...]

[ryougi]

I died, yep. Think something exploded... probably my head, right?

[histories]

... That's right.

I'd just like to ask, what sort of powers did you have from home, in the first place?

[ryougi]

Thought so. [SO CASUAL ABOUT THIS IT'S AWFUL though the question has her a bit more :|a.]

Mm... does it really matter what kind of powers they were?

[histories]

[yes, how is she so casual about having died?!]

[but she's going to just... let that slide for now...] Think of it as mere curiosity, then.

[ryougi]

Didn't have anything to do with my head exploding, that's for sure. [Except it sort of could make her head explode if she didn't handle them as well as she does ALAS SHE DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.]

Anyways, hm... They're the kind of powers where I can kill anything.

[histories]

Powers... meant for killing? [that's really vague...] I... see.

[ryougi]

[Being vague is great okok.] Yep. As long as it exists, I can kill it, even if that thing is a god.

[histories]

... How does that even work?

[ryougi]

[Short pause as she debates explaining... but fuck it she's probably not going to get her powers back ever again and it doesn't really matter does it.]

Everything in this world has a flaw, from humans to will to even time. My eyes can see those flaws.

[histories]

Ah?... [she doesn't necessarily understand it completely, but she believes she gets it to some extent] I see! So you would generally strike at those flaws, so as to kill.

[ryougi]

Yep. That's about it.

[histories]

I see, I see. That's an interesting ability to have had.

[ryougi]

[casual shrug] Guess so. Got used to it after a while, so not having it again is sorta weirder.

[histories]

I can understand. I used to partially change into a hakutaku every full moon, myself. Not experiencing the pain from that transformation for once, while having done so every month for over two hundred years... It's quite an unsettling feeling to have.

[ryougi]

Hakutaku... what, so you were like a demon?

[histories]

Something like it, I suppose. I was imbued with a fragment of the spiritual beast, which in turn made me a half-youkai.

[ryougi]

Half, huh? [...] Well, that sorta stuff isn't really any of my business here.

[histories]

That's true. [she nods.] I don't suppose you were some sort of demon hunter before?

[ryougi]

Eh, not me at least. The family used to be in that sort of business I think.

[histories]

Then shall I say it is safe to assume that we can work together, should the need arise?

[ryougi]

Guess so. Dunno when that need would ever arise, but yeah.

[histories]

Seeing as this was no doubt the doing of the gods... I have a feeling it might be sooner than we may think.
