<strong>Character:</strong>Blue Girl<br/><strong>Who:</strong>Ken<br/><strong>Where:</strong>the subway tunnels<br/><strong>When:</strong>mid-afternoon<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>not much<br/><hr/>At the accusation that she's the vampires' caretaker, the Blue Girl laughs, a full, rich laugh that somehow does not move her sword so much as a micron.<br/><br/>When she's done laughing—and it's not a quick chuckle—she says, "I have nothing to do with your petty struggles. I'm here for<em>you,</em>Ken. I wanted to watch you fight. Never pass up a chance to learn about your enemies.<br/><br/>"And make no mistake, youngling—I am your mortal enemy. Either you will die before you learn enough to be a fitting challenge for me, or you will die on my blade.<br/><br/>"I would prefer the latter, so take this gift." In one impossibly swift motion, she draws a sheath for her sword out of empty air with her free hand, sheathes the blade, and tosses sheath and blade to Ken. While her gift is still in mid-air, she vanishes.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">What Ken's mystic senses perceive</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ken was too busy staying alive to notice the Blue Girl's arrival as a sorcerer might, but he certainly feels her departure. It's as though a vast, coiled spring had been there, or perhaps a ten-megavolt battery, something full of energy that could have destroyed this place had it been unleashed. Now it's gone, and the world breathes a sigh of relief. It's as though New York had been under a mile of ice, and the glaciers retreated, letting the continental crust relax from the strain of incalculable weight. It is as though the elephant has exited the Volkswagen.<br/><br/>If a normal person is a 2, and Ken and his friends are each a 10, the Blue Girl was...a 15? a 20? Ken doesn't have a standard by which to measure such things. But she was...<em>vast.</em> Greater than this poor shadow of a world.</div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ken's timeline is now caught up with William's.</div></div>
