<span style="font-style: italic">Fair enough,</span>Doce thought as Dark Samus telepathically called her out. It was easier, however, to take action if you used simple classifications for people and situations. But why was it that so many "evil" characters called out "good" characters on there being little difference between good and evil? Even if "evil" didn't truly exist, Dark Samus was fitting the mold of what humans typically identified as evil. Anyway, things didn't stop there, and it looked like the mecca warrior's allegiance had been gained--for now. As Phibrizzo offered a little extra information on the Overseer, Doce felt a strange sense of deijavoo.<span style="font-style: italic">I get the feeling this was mentioned before... Well I f****d up. Better pay closer attention this time.</span><br/><br/>Adam accepted Samus into their group--for however long she went without killing them. And then, for reasons Doce found difficult to understand, stabbed Masahide. Was this really how they were supposed to manage this "hollow" thing he had going on? Ah well. After the blue-haired soul reaper was unconscious, he started to transform, just like Adam said. Also for whatever reason, Masahide's hollow seemed to want to take her on. Maybe it heard that thing the Espada who kidnapped her heard; that Joker souls tasted really good.<br/><br/>She sighed, acting of course. If she was going to fight, she couldn't be afraid--and she was afraid. If she was going to pretend she wasn't on the inside, she had to do the same on the outside. "The last time I was this close to a Bleach character it wanted to eat me," she voiced, just to set the mood. Regardless of her words, the King Joker rose behind her and King Jack rose up in front of her. Taking a slightly nervous breath (she'd never done this before, after all!), Doce stepped stepped up to, and then through, the King Jack Card.<br/><br/>It was an odd sensation: cool, like water. Also like water, the Card rippled as she entered it. She didn't come immediately out the other side, though. There was a two or three second lag as her form changed.<br/><br/>Transformation techniques varied. Some afforded you the powers of your form, others didn't. The King Jack was something of a middle ground. Your body physically changed to match the appearance you chose, so you would gain the forms physical abilities; but special skills, intelligence, any energy based techniques--you didn't get that sort of thing. For instance: if you turned into a dragon you would be big and strong, and maybe you could fly and breath fire. But, say, you transformed into a well-known wizard. Your physical abilities would match theirs, but you wouldn't learn all their spells. Well, when Doce came out the other side of the King Jack, she was no longer in Frahlah Tahmir's body, but in the body of Rachel Grey: her signature original character.<br/><br/>Miss Grey (in person) was an all-powerful goddess, but since all of her godly powers fell into the category the King Jack didn't grant, that was irrelevant. What<span style="font-style: italic">did</span>matter, was that the 5'2", silver-haired goddess in the plain gray gown didn't quite have a physical form. She needed to distract the hollow Masahide, not defeat him. This would do the job without getting her killed.<br/><br/>"In I go, then," she said in Miss Grey's soft, medium toned voice. She proceeded into the barrier zone, keeping the hollow entertained (if perhaps enraged) as it swung fruitless attacks at her ethereal form. Well, they weren't entirely fruitless. Miss Grey was a deity of fate and balance. Her body naturally absorbed negative energy and converted it to neutral and positive energy, as the surroundings required. However, an overload of negative energy would change the good deity into her chaotic counterpart--but she could definitely take stress for six minutes. She might need a different plan for part two, though. "Come now, sweet creature of destruction," she taunted lovingly as another attack passed through her. "If you're expecting blood to grace your lips, you won't get any from this body."
