[VOICE | Backdated Pre-Event] Survey

[You wanna play it this say, Raph? Taking surveys to prove a point? Fine. Let's play.

It's not about who cares - well okay, to be fair, that's the MAIN reason they developed such fine-tuned stealth skills in the first place. But that's not the only reason a ninja should stay hidden. With enemies who would probably not announce themselves first, who would see him and his brothers on the Network and then proceed to silently hunt them down one by one...

The last time the team faced Shredder, he nearly killed them all, starting with Leonardo himself; the memory of seeing the intent in Oruku's eyes while facing down his blade remained a deeply chilling moment. But now Leo's team is down by one, they're not always together and they can't just stay underground here. If Shredder found one of them out in Keeliai, alone, with no way to contact the others for help...]


How many people have had their enemies show up.

[A question with the cadence of a statement. That's how you know he's serious, apparently.

If this survey turns up zilch? Leo will have to concede the point completely. But he doesn't really suppose that'll be the case. Let's find out.]

[That's good, so it's not just her.]

Oh, so you were trained by your father too, huh? [Modesty? What's that?]

...I think everyone's stuck on that same boat, there are some things we know, but anything important, well [in her best Kedan impression] "that's the Emperor's business."
neoguardian: (shocked)

[personal profile] neoguardian 2013-05-27 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't...it's just that you were trained by the best...and so was I i just so happens that is my father as well...[and then it hits her]...oh! Was that supposed to be a secret or something? I'm sorry, but I won't say anything about it, Guardian's honor.
neoguardian: (excited)

[Life is just filled with boombies.]

I won't go spreading it around either, not that I know your father. [Something they have in common, she's pretty much a daddy's girl.] I'll bet. [Because she feel's the same way about her father.]

Yeah, he's the primary Guardian of Angel Island, he's stronger than I am...but that's probably because his mutation was more direct...and, well, I'm still in training.
neoguardian: (chatty)

Enemies? [Since Leo seems very concerned about his enemies in this particular post.] Don't worry, I'm not a big-mouth.

Hn...I wouldn't exactly call Mobosapians a mutation so much as an evolutionary miracle. [She gets that it's probably confusing especially since she's come to realize that people on the island who aren't human are considered mutants.] When my dad was still an egg his father exposed him to radiation from the Master Emerald...let's see...ah!

[Lara-Su removes one of her gloves, since she's using video she can actually show Leo her retractable claws.] Normal Echidnas don't have these...the radiation also enhanced our strength...and a few other things. It's not all that noticeable. Anyway, my father's mutation trickled down to me.

Ah! [Don't worry, that's an excited sound, not a terrified sound because...well...she's already met your brothers or some combination of them.

She'll wave back energetically.]
Hi! Nice to meet you face-to-face...and yeah, I think I might have met one or two of your brothers. I can see the family resemblance, but you're all definitely different.

[Mikey's special and Raphael is...Raphael, unfortunately they were not properly introduced. She met Mike as well.]

So [she can't help noticing the swords on his back and she'll gesture indicating that she's noticed] your father taught you how to be a great warrior?

[What Leo surmises is true, because Lara is from Mobius she's more attuned to the way individuals on her world look like...and really there were some pretty obvious differences between the brothers. Coloring, markings, eye color, personality...very different.

But she's not thinking about that right now, she's too busy leaning forward, interested in what Leo has to say about being a warrior. It's a topic she can appreciate.]


Ninjitsu? [She's not familiar with the term, but it sounds interesting.] Cooool! So that's a particular style of fighting right...I learned how to grapple and dodge...but for the most part I just throw my strength around. [Not to mention she's still kind of a trainee.] So ninjitsu employs the use of weapons?
neoguardian: (neutral)

action

[personal profile] neoguardian 2013-05-29 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Agreeing that a demonstration would be much easier than trying to explain it. She could only imagine how difficult it would be trying to explain chaos energy to someone who had no idea how it worked. More often than not actions speak louder than words.

So she agreed to the meeting spot, the edge of the Water Sector was a pretty good spot at this hour. The lighting and the growth would make it difficult to get a good look at them so there was plenty of cover.

After arriving at her designated meeting spot she kept her eyes peeled...because sneaky ninja!]
neoguardian: (happy)

[personal profile] neoguardian 2013-06-01 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sneaky ninjas are pretty sneaky. Lara-Su isn't usually one to startle, at least not very easily, but she does jump at the sound of rustling vegetation. Having an amazing sense of hearing is a fortunate thing, but jumping at the sound of leaves...well...nobody saw that right? Right. At least that's the story and she's sticking to it.

At Leo's approach she stands up to her full height which is maxed out at barely four feet. She doesn't necessarily view her stature as a disadvantage, but she's certain that some people see her as non-threatening because of it.]


Likewise. It's always nice getting out. [It seems as though hand shaking is a universal thing, recognizing the gesture she extends her hand immediately. She has one of those deceptively strong grips.

Not being one to push certain matters where others are concerned, she'll wait until Leo decides he's ready to talk about ninjitsu, in the meantime...she's not too shabby at small talk.]
How's island life treating you?
neoguardian: (nervous)

[personal profile] neoguardian 2013-06-03 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lara still finds it difficult to wrap her mind around the fact that anyone would have to spend their lives in total secrecy...Okay, she could understand it if it was a villain trying to lay low, but Leonardo didn't seem to be that kind of character.

Different worlds, she supposed, but it did seem a little unfair.

In spite of that her attention was riveted as he began to explain ninjitsu to her, well, the setealth also explained the preference for the secrecy. If your art meant practicing caution in movement then revealing yourself would be counter intuitive, wouldn't it?]


Ah [and she laughed a little, mostly at herself because she just realized that his approach was meant to be startling] you seem to be very good at what you do then. I like to think I have pretty good hearing, but I didn't know you were here until you wanted me to know.

neoguardian: (neutral)

[personal profile] neoguardian 2013-06-04 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
[It's more than a little unnerving that most of the island's population outstrip her in the height department, so being able to talk at eye level is a nice change of pace. It's comforting not having to be waist deep in the world every now and then, though there are a couple of kids out there that she could relate to height wise.]

Utilizing a strategy would mean you'd have to have a diverse arsenal to work with in order to adapt to any situation. [Lara was able to extrapolate that much just based on the techniques that Leo had mention so far. Stealth, the use of weapons, strategy...skill. Skill implied a number of things.]

So...against a lumbering enemy with great physical power, it might be better to use speed? [Lara chose her own spot to sit, using the temporary break in her thoughts in order to find a decent sized boulder--it was a little distance away, but Chaos Control could fix that. Encompassing her makeshift seat in a green light enabled her to levitate it a little closer, dropping it a few feet away from her companion before climbing up and arranging herself comfortably.]
neoguardian: (nervous)

[personal profile] neoguardian 2013-06-04 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Training had been significantly different for Lara-Su, especially given the fact that she'd only been in training for a couple of years. Guardians typically begin much earlier, her father was about three when he started...and yet for many years Knuckles had forbade her, wanting to end the guardian line...so it took a lot of begging (no one needs to know that).

While her Chaos training is coming along smoothly, her hand-to-hand combat skills could use a lot of refining. She basically wings her way through most physical fights and relies mostly on her strength.]


That sensei of yours sounds pretty like a pretty awesome person, that's some profound words of wisdom...I take it you have to be hyper aware of your surroundings...[It might be pretty cool to meet someone capable of leaving that kind of impression...

...but as the conversation switched gears, Lara-Su glanced down at her seat, nodding her head and looking completely amused by Leonardo's reaction to her Chaos Control.]


Got it in one, that's my trick...it makes it very easy to skip rocks you know. It's only one though, I make energy spears and freeze things in time...it comes in handy when you want to preserve food.
neoguardian: (nervous)

hope you're having a good one :D

[personal profile] neoguardian 2013-06-14 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He managed to wring a laugh out of her if nothing else, because battle preference is just one of those casual conversations.]

Y-you know, this is the first time I've ever really thought about it...but it's possible that the energy spears chose me...you think that's possible? [Hey, she seems impressed, or maybe it's just because she can't tell he's trying to be cool because he already seems cool to her.] Though I gotta admit, I think throwing boulders is a pretty bad way to take out a bad guy, I kinda like it.

Woooooo~!
