<span style="font-style: italic">Stop it,</span>Doce thought, taking few steps away from the rest of the group to sit against the wall. She slid down against it and pulled her knees into her chest, crossing her arms over them and resting her head there. Usually, she preferred to listen to and memorize everything that was said around her, but she'd hardly had fifteen minutes to herself since entering this game, and her brain was overloading.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Everything is a process,</span>she thought carefully, moving her lips slightly to follow the words and concentrate on them better.<span style="font-style: italic">Pause, take notes, organize. You're in there somewhere.</span>She felt something shift inside of her. It was dreamlike, the way she instinctively knew what it was. Before Lucy's consciousness could fully manifest, Doce started forcing it into a small, jail-like section of her subconscious, but it gave off a quick calming aura that changed her mind. She let it talk.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"You need a break, right?"</span>Lucy said.<span style="font-style: italic">"Just let me take over for a while. It's my body; I'll take good care of it."</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">No,</span>She answered stubbornly. No explanation, just a flat refusal. Doce found her center and came to just in time to hear the voice summon them out of the waiting room. Upon receiving the gift, Doce immediately went to her inventory to check it out. It was listed as outer clothing in her inventory, meaning visual representations of her other gear could be overshadowed by it. The game had already designed it to match her preference, and she loved it. There wasn't anything in the description about a cooldown. It couldn't be used outside of battle, but as long as she reactivated the effect quickly enough, she should be able to stay invisible until her mana ran out. Lucy's 'mana' was basically a combination of her psychic stamina and focus, so it was also what she used to manipulate her vectors. Both the cloaking gear and her vectors used about 1 MP per second, so if she continually used both, she only had about 200 seconds of fight in her.<br/><br/>She equipped the item.<a class="postlink" href="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQC9bHyg__5THtB-A45nRLD1l5z1aB68HOIa_JAGrxUs_fFoKQuXQ">[ img ]</a>((They're all basically the same, but... the one on the left.))<br/><br/>When it came down to it, Doce cared more about how her character looked than how well it played. She didn't care how quickly she ran out of mana; she would just put more points into her Max Special. Doce nodded, agreeing with Rukia's sentiment. "Agreed. I'm keeping this gear. I don't care who we're up against--I'm going to destroy them."
