Summary; Having gotten some actual powers Enrico and Yumie decided to head to the forest for some good old target practice and trying out of the borrowed powers.
Log;

After the rude awakening of being entirely on fire and nearly burning down his apartment; Enrico had gotten over his initial shock and was beginning to get the hang of the powers that the City adminstrators had decided bestowed upon him. Of course the irony being that they belonged to the Yellow God, Lobsel Vith whom Enrico loathed just for her claim of being a god but inwardly he had to admit her powers were rather addicting. Not so much godlike but purifying sinners in the holy flames did have its appeal.

It was with his new found control of the fire and desire to test out those powers that he suggested to Yumie that they head out and get some target practice. And what better place for a man with control fire and a woman with the ability to shape shift into animals to test their new found powers but the forest.

The world was chaos when Yumie's mind reasserted itself, frantically trying to make sense of seeing from pairs upon pairs of eyes. Wheeling in disorientation, she, all the shes, tried to knit the picture together from places so very much higher than her apartment's ceiling.

It was with effort, though perphaps not as much as she might have assumed, that she drew back all the pieces of herself to swarm down into one of the trees. When she was whole and woman once more she perched upon a lower branch and took stock of the scene below her.

She would watch the third beast and wait.

The sensation of being made of fire was like nothing Enrico had ever felt before, he could feel the flames following through him...truly it was as if the fire was apart of him though he would never say so to the Yellow God.

The third beast stood it's ground glaring Enrico down but it did seem of what move to make. A howl from the creature summoned to more to cautiously walk out of the shadows both also glaring him down.

An instinct calling for Enrico attack as he launched several fireballs at all three creatures causing them to scatter.

Yumie dropped to the ground with the same ease that had carried her through the Advance Guard's rooftop travels in Midian.

A quieter scene awaited her, the beast Enrico had turned into a bonfire now still and well on its way to incineration. The beast she had wounded left with its companions, perhaps hobbled off to bleed out from its side amongst the underbrush.

She was more than a little impressed, amazed even, at the pyrotechnics she had just witnessed, though somewhat dissapointed the fray had apparently concluded. "Guess that party's over."

Enrico willed the flames to extinguished leaving himself and his clothes perfectly intact. "It seems the creatures do have a sense of self-preservation after all," Enrico stated flatly. "Perhaps it is a good thing this will only last until midnight...I'm getting a little too use to this power," he admitted.

The rush he had gotten from the small battle had his adrenaline in overdrive and the attraction he was feeling toward Yumie at the moment was stronger than ever. "Shall we head back or do a little more exploring?"

She tried to keep her mouth from hanging open at the display; it made her feel like an idiot.

"The latter. We'll be cooped up enough for most of the plagues," Yumie answered, setting her sword down and stretching as if to subconsciously emphasize their current freedom of movement. Her gloved fingers were bloodied and tempting so she interlaced them behind her head and rocked back and forth on her heels for a moment, almost childishly. The corners of her lips curled upwards. "Might as well enjoy the time outside while we can."

Enrico offered a smile as he tried not to study Yumie too closely. "Agreed. This whole plague business..." he trailed off. "How they can take elements from our faith and just twist them for their own dark purposes disgust me." he finally managed.

If only the true God would smite these false gods and show them true power. But that thought seemed to push itself to the back of his mind looking at Yumie. "Which direction should we go? I doubt we have much to worry about at the moment in terms of safety."
