[Good luck. (Or I could just click it again if you like...)]

(( totally wasn't going to tag here until I got this power. come at me, bro! ))

[Syre felt... free. Powerful.]

[Whatever had happened to her, she was blessed with an ever-so-useful gift -- and she was going to make use of it.]

[Want to aid her? Feel free. Want to stop her? Good luck.]

[This is horrifying.]

[The sound of laughter echoed in the alleys, loud and manic.]

[This new power of Syre's was almost intoxicating; it left her feeling so... so alive!]

[She's clearly lost in the moment, standing over whatever was left of one of her victims; a clear chance to attack.]

[What will you do, Prince?]

Surprisingly addictive, isn't it? [He was watching. Saw the whole thing. He's good at hiding. But this kind of thing goes down every day in the city. It's not unusual.

What is unusual is that some upstart decided to hunt on what the entire gritty underside of the city was supposed to know was his territory. he honestly thought that the last few killings made that clear... but she is new. She'll either learn, or end up teaching others. You don't kill here without permission, or you're on the list.]

Do you know where you are?

It is. And it's oh so very delicious.

[Syre turns, looking at the pointed-eared watcher with a wide, sly smile.]

I haven't any idea where this is. [There's a quiet chuckle.]

The prey ran, and I gave chase. Where the hunt ends matters not to me, so long as I get my kill.

[He'll mostly be using this to make his surroundings purple - it goes so well with his outfit, and he's never cared much for traditional superpowers anyway. (plus, he can't keep his mind on one thing long enough for the whole "constructs" thing to work) Still, try to stop him (or be nearby when he gets bored), and he'll probably bust out a laser or two - it saves him money on bullets.]

((He pretty much canonically has Dimensional Manipulation, so...))

[Dead Sea brine...check.

Lamb's blood...check.

Bone of a lesser saint...check.

Where do you want to go today?]

[flight :|

at least she'd be more useful than her boyfriend in a fight now.]

[resurrection. I SWEAR TO GOD I LEGITIMATELY GOT THAT ONE.]

[He gives a smile at that, playing with the hilt of sword between two fingers. Well, some call it a sword... It's more of a glorified smooth-edged carving knife.]

You should always pay attention to where you're going. This town's not always the nicest of places. I guess you know that by now, though...

[His smile fades abruptly.]

Tell me, have you heard the stories of the Bloody Prince? They say he roams the city at night... actually, some of the things they say are pretty scary.

[Superhuman physiology. Suck it, Superboy.]

[ empathic affinity D: ]

Oh, I know that all too well.

[The movement of his fingers is not lost on Syre. Nor is the sudden change in demeanor.]

I've not heard any such things about this "prince". Furthermore, I see why I should be concerned -- I've yet to inconvenience him.

And I'm fairly certain hunting a pathetic mouse [--here she motions to what's left of the poor fellow she's consumed--] will not earn me the ire of any man.

You've never heard of him? Really?

[He's legitimately surprised. He figured she was new to the whole powers thing, but she must have been new in town, too. Rather suddenly, his expression steels itself. He steps towards her, and then sort of... blurs. He's fast enough that he almost seems to vanish.

Only to reappear behind her, where he leans forward and whispers into her ear.]

I'll have to make this memorable, then.

Ooh...

[A shudder of anticipation winds up her spine, her eyes glinting mischievously as she turns her head just enough to glance at him from the corner of one eye.]

And what will you do to me, mm? Stab me? Slash me open?

I'm all a-flutter with excitement.

[Step right up, get your Hypnotic Music here!]

[Flawless Coordination must be why the bullets keep missing.]

[ And thus Shirou became useful. ]

Tempting options. Very tempting...

[He sees her mischief and raises her a flirt; he closes in until his words mingle with his breath and brush the fine hairs around her ear, before pulling away and turning to face her former victim. He doesn't necessarily need to be angry. After all, if she's being honest, she didn't mean any offense when she killed here.

But you don't need to mean offense to offend... and he doesn't need to be angry to strike. For now, though, he's curious.]

Why don't you tell me how you did this, first? I've never seen injuries like these...

Why tell you when I can show you?

[With that, she walks over to a streetlight nearby. Her fingers lightly grace the metal of the supporting pole, a faint golden glow beneath them. If Prince is paying particular attention, the glowing of her fingers coincides with the dimming of the light, and only strengthens when she presses her entire hand against the shaft.]

I don't quite know how I came about this ability of mine, but I find it quite useful... and it gives me such an... electric feeling!

[Her entire arm is aglow now, and the street light has long since gone out; now, the rest of the lights along the block are beginning to dim as well.]

I can feel all of it... the energy, flowing oh so freely throughout my body...!

[Of course he's paying attention. She told him she was going to show him, and so he'll watch. It's fascinating, this power... Absorption of energy? Just electrical, or other forms as well? It was definitely making him more and more curious.

Which meant he had to keep her alive. A lot harder than it sounds, when she left so many obvious openings... He could have snapped her neck three times in the last minute, for pity's sake!]

It feels good, huh? All that energy, that is. Can you only use electrical, or what?

Oh yes. It feels so, so very good...

[She pulls her hand away from the lamp post almost reluctantly, smiling at Prince as though coming down from a high.]

Ah, if it were only electrical, I wouldn't have devoured that poor sap back there. [She laughs softly, huskily, lazily running a hand through her hair.] If it has energy... I can feed from it. The stronger the energy... the better it makes me feel.

[Well, if that wasn't a warning flag... His eyes narrow slightly as he focuses on the petite woman. Has she been sated? Or is she going to try something? The lights above flicker slowly back to life, seemingly brighter after the darkness, and illuminate the scene in stark relief. The two of them, standing opposite one another, her lack of control opposing his tightening grip on himself. A grip that might be slowly loosening...]

I think it's about time for you to leave. [He steps forward, hands near his sides. If she tries anything...]
