((Okay, fine by me^^.))
Pliea's black hair shifted like ink in a glass of water inside the massive bubble. It lifted and fell, sliding on her skull with every movement. "Poor dear." she said, looking with sarcastic tenderness at the stout girl facing her. "Don't you think you're overestimating yourself a bit? Isn't it kind of mean of you to take me away from such an exiting fight? Really... three elemental spirits... what a waste. If anything you are making me a coward and are filled with the illusion of your own importance. But really dear, why do you think it is I am here? since you seem so certain." She talked lightly, as if she'd been a normal elegant woman discussing the latest play or book with an equally elegant friend. Her tone was tender for the idiot and disgusting for the smarter. And, as her honey-like voice trailed on, her hands swayed around in slowed movement through the bubble, cutting into the water-like air they swam in. It was very much like the witch had had bladed extending from the tips of her fingers like two long thin pallets.
Uzumi was surprised by the amount of air that returned to fill her chest as their threads of breath were released from the hands of the witch. Had she been that much chocked? She'd noticed that it had depended on how much impact of the explosion the person had taken and of immediate contact with Pliea but she hadn't realized how affected she herself was. Did this power somehow keep the mind from understanding its true lack of oxygen? Like shutting down the warning system? Well, now wasn't the matter. No, it mattered that one of her friends was taking an attempt at a strategy that would probably get her killed, that what was probably the most powerful shaman to walk the earth was within a perimeter of a few feet of herself, that that person had cut up another of her friend's chest up and that she couldn't do anything. Nothing, she couldn't do a thing. The list of possibilities ran through her head at a speed that confused her infuriatingly. There was nothing she should do any nothing she could do: she was truly of no use. She closed her eyes tight. No, no no... Nothing was a good idea... Think. She couldn't look away and tend to Arisu, she couldn't let Celeste dive in to her probable death, she couldn't prevent her either: it was a plan and messing with other people's plans never works. She didn't want to stay still. It was a feeling of uselessness feeding much more off of undirected anger that off of shame. Uzumi bit her lip and looked at Arisu, returning to the state of useless child. "Arisu?" she whispered, and, as she did so, she realized she could make her own plan, create her own part of the idea, be useful and not necessarily through her weapons. It immediately wiped away her anger of canalized it and made it more positive, of simply gave it motion. This lit new strength in the little girl and, suddenly, she wanted Arisu to wake up. "Arisu!" she repeated, more insistingly. Her eyes shifted down to the huge cut on the girl's body. Okay, start thinking.
((Sorry for the horrible post, really sorry also for being on so sporadically: I'm having a hard time balancing school and Internet this year...
Also, my lulz approve of your creative bump Ry XD ))

Sporadic user- I haven't been on in a while, but I'll be back to RP when my exams let me. Looking forward to it!

If you listen closely you can hear me cringing at all the purple prose I wrote on this green hellscape of a website circa 2011-2014.
