Nature Takes Its Course

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: Whatevr's been off the radar for a while, so I think this is pretty much a solo operation now.))

Ellen: *hops off the tail after it coasts to a stop* ...The tail itself would probably make a decent club, but that's not really my style.

[Raleigh]

Want me to root around in it to see if this one has anything hidden within?

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...If you want. I'll carve out an entrance in the meantime. *draws several cards and gets to work slicing up brambles*

*Acutus arrives at the bottom of the hill. She looks at the remains of her old tail and starts to say something, but takes a look at Raleigh and hurriedly shuts up.*

[Raleigh]

*Inspects the tail to see if it contained anything.* Hello Acutus. How are you?

[AmbushCat]

A bit peeved at the Forces of Nature, Indrisil, but that's normal.

[Raleigh]

I understand they return the sentiment. So I hear Viridi's got herself a pet electric goddess. If needed I suppose I could play with that one while you two conduct your business here.

[AmbushCat]

*watches Ellen eviscerate a tunnel into existence through sheer card-playing hax* I doubt she'd be stupid enough to try fighting you.

[Raleigh]

Aww, I wanted to play with Sparky. Oh well. Hey Ellen, ever heard of the Kusanagi?

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: *calls back* ...Some sort of Japanese longsword? I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it.

[Raleigh]

Indeed. Known as the grass cutter. Can clear a field of grass in a single swing. Would be handy for cutting a way through here. Want to learn an amusing trick that combines your magic and some minor sympathetic/totemic magic?

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ... *pauses* I'm listening.

[Raleigh]

Well first we would need to use some of that paper control to bend and shape the paper into the form of what we want. In this case the Kusanagi. *A handful of green sheets of paper appear in Raleigh's hand and begin to float out and contort and bend until they take the form of the famous sword.* You try and get some paper to assume this shape too.

[AmbushCat]

*A half-dozen sheets of legal-sized paper fly out from Ellen's person, melding and combining together into the sword in question.*

[Raleigh]

For the first time it might help to write the name on the creation to help you focus it better. After that, it is a matter of tying your representative object in your mind to the legend. While you write kusanagi along the side of it I'll elaborate on the history of it and its significant details. *He sets to doing so.*

[AmbushCat]

*Ellen listens carefully, writing the sword's name on it as instructed. Acutus yawns and walks past them into the tunnel that been carved out up to that point.*
