Echo has posed:
As it turns out, there is no big plans needed for actually ripping something off from a musuem (at least not in Echo's mind) as she has simply walked in close to closing hours and proceeded to subdue the guards, or at least try to. Once a little action happens outside there is an alarm going off from the inside, which is audible from outside the place and a short distance away, prompting whoever is inside to work fast in getting away before anyone comes to try and stop them! Echo fixes her hair after chasing down one of the security guards and hums to herself, rubbing her chin as she peers over the velvet rope of the crystal ball-like bauble she'd apparently been there for. Was it even worth anything?

Deelel has posed:
Deelel had been back in Manhattan after all it had the link to her actual home world so here she was she's heard the alarm as she was just heading for a drive and that brings her light cycle to a halt, a moment later the craft vanishes into wire frames and light. Then it's cone Deelel grabs the baton that generated the graft slaps it on her leg and is now isn't sure what's gong on at the museum but she's got no love for someone messing with art which is meant to be on display for all, right?

So there Deelel is heading inside to see just what's going on here. She might look a good deal strange to anyone from this world or another the strange style of her partial body suit like clothing the going tattoos on her exposed arm that looked like computer circuits.

Echo has posed:
Echo frowned as after simply unclipping the velvet rope and stepping past it that she finds the glass cover of it won't budge. Her lower lip parted lightly in curiosity she extended a finger and frost began to grow around the glass on the point where her red nailed finger was pointing--increasing as mist wafted up from around the glass and began to crack, eventually shattering and leaving a large pile of cold, broken glass. "Ahah!" the black dressed female proclaimed, but then turned as if she heard something behind her. She would be standing there nearby with the crystal ball in her hands when Deelel walked in, casually hefting it about and peering at it.

"Oh hello! did that annoying noise bother you?" she asked, shrugging. "The people here don't seem to understand this thing's real value, so I decided to remove it in case they got hurt."

Deelel has posed:
Deelel is making her way in and looks a the damage for a moment as she has her arms folded.

"Nice try, your just a theif, drop the relic. The Police are already on their way. This is your only warning, I suggest you do the smart thing and give it up, right now."

Deelel makes no moves that are actually hostile and /seems/ to be unarmed but looks are deceiving after all so who knows. Also oddly her voice sounds a little bit distorted as she speaks.

"As of the value yes they do know this is a museum after all where things of historical value are put on display so they can be taken in by the population as a whole."

Echo has posed:
Echo seemed confused for a moment at the sound of the woman's voice, tilting one of the large bat ears of hers up to the side as if she wasn't able to hear it correctly. Though it seemed like from what she said next that she HAD heard her.

"Is that so? well, if they thought it was valuable they would have put it under better security, I would imagine!" she seemed to toyingly flip the crystal ball up in the air--where it did not fall, but instead floated lazily around, by magic apparently.

"I guess I'll just have to use force then if you won't let me pass," she said almost apologizingly, as if she was sorry to do it, though she might be sarcastic instead. She raised her hands and clenched them roughly, what looked like vines or creepers began to grow up from the tiles at Deelel's feet, trying to envelope her!

Deelel has posed:
Deelel :says "From the looks of you your from the world of ruin. It's under better than your aware of that alarm's already summoned the police. As you wish, you had your chance."

Deelel moves in such aw ay you'd not expect someone from a starting stop to do so she's flipping into the air an twisting as she goes. She comes down for a landing but does not do more than pull the strange disc off her back. The edge humms to life as she does so and she doesn't seem happy.

"So magic as well, that only seems to confirm it."

What is she doing? It seems she's preparing something but what?

Echo has posed:
"Ohh, you're fast," Echo looks surprised honestly that she was able to evade the streamers of vines that had cracked and erupted from the floor, breaking right through the tiles, tilting her head as she handles that disk-like weapon.

"You act like you'd never seen it before," the bat lady grinned a bit cheekily, then shook her head as she furrowed her brow and raised a hand again, having to chant a little as she pointed a finger at Dee. A huge gust of wind would begin to blow, lancing out at her in a concentrated jet, all the while the air around her seemed to become hotter and mini explosions of fire burst out of the air, sucking the air away!

Deelel has posed:
Deelel is indeed fast and she smirks a bit at the bat lady for a moment.

"It does not exist on my world and is rare on this one. One able to learn such on this world would have other things to do than be a petty thief."

Be it protecting the world or furthering their own interests whom is t say but this time the next spell does a bit better catching her the air is sucked away but that part has no effect on her aside form begin unable to talk for the moment. She's still effect by the explosion however that humming blade is put to use as it's thrown at echo, even if it misses it will bounced back to the strange human? woman and she'll launch it again before she breaks into a run for Echo.

Echo has posed:
Though Echo tries to sidestep the spinning chakram, the blade of it still finds her in a gout of blood. The scent is acrid and stinging to the notrils, a hiss rising from the bat's throat as if in surprise, or anger, maybe both.

"Ruthless!" she snarled, and raised her hands again, this time a much larger version of the frost she had used earlier on the crystal ball formed in the air above her--the cold air visible as the temperature dropped and opened up into a full on squall. Shards of ice began to rain down from it, aimed to fall right ontop of Dee.

Deelel has posed:
Deelel catches the disc as it returns in one hand and stares down the demi human for a moment as the attack comes her way, she doesn't fully evade the blast from the mage but it's enough she's still going. Deelel is looking a bit roughed up but she's far from out of it an. She's got her disc again even as she's got more battering and digging into her. She dives at Echo and attack up close dropping into a sliding lick then flipping with a back flipping kick before coming about with a round house while holding her active blade in hand, oddly not being employed.

Echo has posed:
"Nyom!" the bat seemed to relish the sprayed blood from the ice shards, catching a streak out of the air with her mouth and licking her lips as if she'd just downed something tasty. The is however taken back by the sudden and swift axe-like kick that slices across her, causing her to stumble back and be literally knocked aside as she is roundhoused into a display kiosk, knocking some ancient pottery over with a shattering crash!

"...Ow," the bat picked herself up and rubbed her head, looking worse for wear as she picked herself up, a magical series of light points appearing before creating long diamond like shards of material in the air, raining down upon Dee!

Deelel has posed:
Deelel does not seem to be one that's about to let up too much when it comes to combat. She makes no reply as she's caught with more spells and it's not looking too good. She's not happy about the damage artifacts. It's time to get out of here. She's gong to attempt to pounce the bat and throw her out the door which she'd left open on her way in and then attempt to follow up the attack with another combo of melee attacks hopefully being closer to bringing this madness to an end.

Echo has posed:
Echo gave a wide flap of her wings, the air hitting Deelel as she jumped back and actually lifted up into the air and away from Dee as they kept beating, those white wings beating pell mell to avoid the pouncing program. There was a serious look of what might have been surprise or fear on the demihuman's face, casting an arm out for a gesture sweeping across the room, the area around Dee becoming wreathed in fire.

Deelel has posed:
Deelel is hit again but takes the magic pretty well all things considered she's pretty badly. The bat continues to well do damage and it's time to get her the heck out. Deelel is not playing around at this point as she moves to make another attack on Echo she uses her disc twice trying to keep her off balance and closes in. She's just going to end this simply with a heck of a full out punch to the demi human's face.

"ENOUGH!"

Echo has posed:
Echo tries to move out of the way of Deelel's audacious charge, but is thrown back with a spat of blood from the thundering blow she takes to the face--coming up with a bit of red flowing throughout her teeth. Her own.

"You... hit me," she muttered, through the liquid flowing out over her mouth, and then she was taken by what seemed like insane rage--a large fireball forming in front of her, growing larger and larger until it shoots out in a wave of heat, the light from it bathing the room red.

Deelel has posed:
Deelel did indeed hit the bat, she's breing up he disc to go for another one but it's too late as the fire comes for her and Deelel just has time to scream she's hitting the ground hard smouldering but there's no sent of burnt flesh, it's strange it's very strange. Also the police are pulling up now as the sounds of squad cards are pulling in. If she wants that item it may be best to depart now. Deelel isn't going anywhere at the moment it seems but no blood no flesh. What the heck /is/ she?

Echo has posed:
Fire alarms are going wild as Echo stumbled past the program, not really interested in continuing this in her condition as she slips out using a warp spell--however she's taking that crystal ball with her, as firefighters rush to save the museum and whoever might still be inside--including the works of art contained there.
