[Yeah, and when Jen loses her other arm, maybe they can start talking strategy. Vera stands up, pinching the bridge of her nose between her fingers with a frustrated sigh.]
You know what? Fine. We're not Team RWBY and you clearly don't need me. So when the world is fucking ending, don't call me, because I won't be waiting.
[ Jen gets to her feet quickly, too. ] No, we're not them and we may never be them, but I need to at least know that you're capable of pulling off half of the formation.
Freezerburn. It's name was Freezerburn. It was the first thing out of your mouth when we unlocked your Aura, but clearly it didn't matter enough to memorize.
See? All the more reason I think we should practice.
[ a pause, then a frown. ] Of course, I don't have - whatever Yang's weapons are - and even for my arm I don't have any energy source for it. So that exact move is off the table already.
Yeah. Just so that, you know, what we can both do won't be a surprise to either of us. Like me finding out you can get hit by a car, and me being able to shatter a giant sawblade with my bare hands.
[ Jen gestured with her hands, to highlight her point was proven. then she sat back down and leaned her head back to stare at the ceiling. ]
Hmm, there's the swordplay, obviously. Less like fencing from what I saw and more like ballet. Or anime. [ since when does she watch anime? ] There's the glyphs, too. I remember seeing you speeding up or slowing down movement, uh, accelerating shots fired I think? There was a lot of ice and crystals...
I mean, you're not wrong. You have that straightforward power, but mine strength is a lot more... elegant? It's a skillset that requires you think on your feet.
...Not that I don't have some heavy-hitters of my own.
[She leans in, slightly, cupping her hands together. Within them, a very intricate glyph begins to form, though it takes obvious focus and effort for her to do so. From the glyph, the figure of a man in armor rises, kneeling in reverence to its mistress. He stands at less than a foot tall, but surely he still looks imposing, right?]
[The knight doesn't get up from its crouch, but it does try to block Jen's finger with the broad side of its sword, turning its head to look up at the blonde like "dude, you mind?"]
It's... not easy, but somehow I'm able to create those monsters from our old lives to fight for me.

So, what, you want to start practicing?

Look, how about you tell me what you do know about my powers and I can fill in the rest.

This is harder to explain than I thought.

I... didn't know you could do something like that.
It's kind of cute. [ can she poke it? she's going to try to poke it. ]

[ she gestures. ] You should probably put that away. Doesn't it wear you out?
no subject
[So she'll release her control over the monster, and it slowly fades away.]
So... there. You can rely on me. I have plenty of tricks to keep myself safe.
