<div class="floatleft">(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EFUS_JCWkAEjgaD.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Lucien Norva (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333483.msg15943817#msg15943817)<br/><strong>Race and Occupation:</strong>Dhampir Alchemist<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time:</strong>Generic Cave Dungeon One | Afternoon, W1D2<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Rei<br/><br/>His ears rang, a reverberation through mind and body, dizzying and unpleasant. His body near pleaded for a quick sitdown, but the danger of the moment was incredibly motivating. He righted himself, forcing his eyes on enemy and ignoring the slow, cool trickle of wetness at the back of his head. And it was just in time to see the weight hurtling toward him.<br/><br/>He stabilzed his footing, readied himself to move, unknowing if it would be enough. And...<br/><br/><em>Clang!</em><br/><br/>Rei appeared before him in a flash, deflecting the heavy weight and losing her fancy blade in the process. When her back hit the wall he was quick to place a hand at her shoulder, squeezing firmly to gain her attention. "Good work." It was simple and curt for a thank you, and lacking those specific words, but there was an earnestness to his voice as he stood, reaching into his inner pockets for more potions.<br/><br/>Out came a liquid of wintry ice. He popped the cork off, lifted it it, and drank it down...<br/><br/>A second passed, then another, and finally, as the third second struck, his mouth opened and a gout of blue engulfed one of the dummies. A blizzard-like flurry, it seemed. But soon enough the flash of light past, leaving the dummy untouched. A low, deep sigh escaped the alchemists mouth, a breath visible with the remnants of blue light.<br/><br/>Then, a sizzling sound echoed through the cave, followed by a crackling as the wooden dummy grew all the stiffer. It froze, pieces of it breaking off in icy chunks as it toppled over motionless.<br/><br/>A smile touched upon Lucien's face, the look in his eye making his urge to whip out his notebook all too clear. But for now he took a look at the final dummy, then at Rei, then at the weapon left discarded. "This one's all yours," he said, before dashing towards the blade, taking up its hilt, and tossing it toward the plucky ninja.
