Magic School

*Ellen looks visibly reluctant at this, something which makes even Ezekiel raise her eyebrows. Just the same, though, she aims the card at Raleigh and slashes diagonally.*

[Raleigh]

*Manipulates the space around himself so the few inches are as good as astronomical units and still is cut.* Oh ho ho, now that is interesting. *The wounds do not bleed nor does any part of him fall off as his body instantly recuperates from the damage.* My dear, I think we will have to sign you up for some more detailed classes concerning space.

[AmbushCat]

Ezekiel: *nods repeatedly* Makes sense, makes sense.

Ellen: ...That's what I was afraid of. Bugger.

[Raleigh]

On the bright side, if you apply this right, you will have a form of teleportation available to you.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...Feels a bit like cheating to me, but why not? I guess I can't let Eebon and Echo have all the fun.

Ezekiel: *all smiles* Cheers! Up city! *glomps Ellen*

Ellen: *eye twitches* ...Mac Manc McManx you're not, now stop crushing my ribs.

[Raleigh]

Heh. Any other things to report on?

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: *grunts* ...Not from me, no. Ezekiel?

Ezekiel: *tilts her head, eyes shining* Speak for me?

Ellen: ...You have got to start using... more than 3-4 words at a time, Zeke. *finally pulls herself loose* Ugh... give me a moment, godpapa. ...Have to catch my breath.

[Raleigh]

Alright, no worries. I have all the time in the world.

[AmbushCat]

*Ellen takes a moment to catch her breath, making a quick check to make sure that none of her ribs were cracked.*

Ellen: Phew. ...Alright. This doesn't really tie into what Zeke learned at the school, but I'll bring it up anyway: her mutant superpowers manifested themselves within the past year. She's basically "Reed Richards Lite" in how she can manipulate her body.

Ezekiel: *nods happily* I'm fantastic.

[Raleigh]

I think we can help teach how to maximize the use of that. So not quite Plastic Man but definitely stretchy, eh? Not like superpowers are that much different than magic anyway really.

[AmbushCat]

Ezekiel: Pretty much. *to Ellen* Who's Plastic Man?

Ellen: ...Former criminal that fell into a vat of chemicals, was rehabilitated by monks, and decided to use his new powers as a crimefighter. *looks at Raleigh for confirmation*

[Raleigh]

Pretty much. Funny guy, likes to make jokes. Loads more amusing than Spider-man's lame quips.

[AmbushCat]

Ellen: ...I'll have to look into those sometime. ...Back on topic, her magic has progressed to the point where she can boil or freeze objects instantaneously just by touching them, which in turn leads to easily breaking apart standard metals. ...In addition, she figured out how to create a curtain of steam just by pressing her hands together. *shakes her head* ...Unfortunately, we haven't been able to work with her much in that department. I tried taking her with me to one of my magic lessons, but she spent the entire time hugging everyone instead of learning anything.

[Raleigh]

Like a steam smokescreen or just a stream that stays around her hands?

[AmbushCat]

Ezekiel: The smokescreen one.
