Essentia Animus

52-Angelic Stage

The morning circumstances lead to a chain reaction of events spiraling out in result. There were suddenly a number of things to accomplish, and so much preparation required to achieve everything.

Vwyx's training of that day completed, with Ayzherie having pitted Dhyinze against her in a mental contest while she was augmented, a scene that had almost shattered her aspect of emotionlessness in the process. This had encouraged a lot more training over the days that followed, in between other tasks. Sryine was challenged to never laugh while augmented, Riyxia had to put on a calm public speech for the hunters while herself augmented, with the expectation that she was professional the entire time, and she wouldn't even know the topic of discussion until she began. Regular training was mixed in with all of this, sharpening the girl's unaugmented ability as their past training had, though Riyxia noticed that Vwyx had started to spend a lot more time training with Dhyinze all of a sudden for some untold reason. Riyxia's lessons had also changed in the process, leaving her isolated in a vast number of situations as she did weapon training with possessed weapons, straining how many weapons she could possess at once, eight still being her limit. However, through the inclusion of her own training, she had learned that this limit didn't exist while augmented, she wasn't even sure there was one, as she took ninety swords into the mountains while enraged in a dazzling display of a bladestorm. She also committed her own lessons with her augmented essence, with one encounter having encouraged her foes to flee as their resolve was taken from their essence. It was proof that she wasn't just limited to destroying essences, though it still wasn't yet all that different.

Sryine finished her book within the first day, which actually left her cross-checking other books in turn. When her birthday arrived, the others had worked together to provide her with the present of a few extra books, adding to her selection for her own enjoyment. The entire birthday scene didn't get much attention, mostly at her own insistence, but she still wasn't about to turn down a few good books. Riyxia was actually quite proud of the book she had found for Sryine's birthday, a quite interesting book about the elements titled 'elements of life'. It was an aptly fitting present to come from Riyxia, one which she had hoped would help Sryine discover new uses for her newer gift. Jwyexzn meanwhile had after that offered to take her to a downtown library, to obtain even more resources for research, leaving the two gone for a good portion of several different days. She was also frequently busy with her simulation project, having been inspired by Riyxia's ability to possess objects and witness scenes from another perspective. She wasn't the only one gone for long periods absorbed in favoured activities, Riyxia had in fact also taken the opportunity to learn to fly, using the windcraft that had been left in her care for added practice. Ayzherie had worked to pass on lessons in that area as well, even though Riyxia was picking everything up like a natural. Vwyx started to take upon herself the responsibility to make sure the windcraft was always in perfect repair, and even her own crafting ambitions started to spread to new projects, stuff designed for Riyxia to find use in possessing. A large number of such didn't end up with any actual use, but it was a collection that could one day get used, and it was a fun context for Vwyx to build upon, a way for her to polish her own craft and adapt to Riyxia's unique ability.

Riyxia devoted the remainder of her available time towards the project Jwyexzn had previously proposed, with the whole thing developing a growing fanbase. Hyusziq had quickly wanted in on such a monumental business venture, quickly becoming their test bed for promotional presentations. Sryine had even been devoting herself to ensuring that everything was fiscally sound, when she could find her own opportunities. Ayzherie had made it clear that they would have the support of the hunters in this if it was within her power to ensure, giving them a position of presence and recognition to start with as all the other hunters agreed. Vwyx even gathered Dhyinze and Nuiqhyx to help her with preparing some props and scenes, resources to improve the quality of the presentation. One of their greatest resources for such was the projector Vwyx and Sryine had originally come up with together, something the two had gone back to reinvestigate and expand upon for such purposes. Eqriuxzl had however been especially absent through much of this period, his academic needs seeming to have taken him away from them for a time. This proceeded for more than a whole lunar cycle, with a deadline quickly approaching. Jwyexzn had achieved exactly what he promised, ensuring that the right lines were teased out to the right people, building a considerable demand for some rather influential people in the city to get the opportunity to meet and discuss business with the party that was involved in no more than five days. The entire subject was even up on the news, the latest and greatest subject of discussion, for a woman, member of the hunters, had discovered an ability for manipulating multiple objects, even in her sleep.. in a way that did not rely on the gift at all.
