[u]"Snow, I'll be perfectly fine! In order to spread the glory of Raidria - I mean, in order to combat others properly, I must learn this!"[/u]
[i]Suddenly, the frozen drops went spiraling towards Snow - before stopping before they hit her.[/i]

She sighed. "Not what i meant. Theres a process." She closed her eyes and all the raindrops near them froze in place, but didnt freeze. "To actually control it in its frozen form you need to focus on its liquid form, and how to freeze and thaw it at will. I did so merely by concentrating on the task that its become second nature. Still takes up a lot of energy though..." The rain resumed as she held her head with one hand.
-
[u]"Oh, blah blah blah! I'll be fine, Snow. I know what I'm doing! I've worked with destructive magic for a couple of months now, and I've yet to incinerate myself!"[/u] [i]Marcia clearly wasn't taking Snow seriously as she started freezing more droplets of rain, causing them to spin in mid-air as she laughed to herself. She thought she had control over it - why didn't Snow?[/i]
-
Snow began to look anxious. "Please, don't let this get to your head. You'll wind up hurting yourself.."
-
[u]"I'll. Be. Fine."[/u] [i]Marcia suddenly began conjuring up...a ball of pure ice. The air around her began to turn cold - VERY cold.[/i] [u]"H-Heh."[/u]
-
"Marcia! Be careful! That's getting like, ridiculously cold! Someone might get hurt!"
-
[u]"W-Well. I mean..."[/u] [i]The temperature dropped ever more slightly...before it was back to what it once was.[/i] [u]"...Phew. Hey, remind me to get some more clothing next time I do that. That was pretty cold...wonder if I can make the temperature go below 0?"[/u]
-
"No." she said bluntly. "Do not do that. Ever. Too dangerous. Too risky. Please, don't."
-
[u]"Ugh. Fine!"[/u] [i]In some amount of anger, Marcia froze several raindrops and smashed them into the wet ground, their remains scattering across the dirt as they began melting away.[/i] [u]"...So what now? Build a bunch of snowballs?"[/u]
-
"Well, you could. Honestly there isnt anything dangerous about attempting that." She thinks for a moment. "You know...ive always wondered if i was able to make a giant snowman..." she says as she looks over at Marcia, grinning.
-
[i]Marcia's furious mood practically vanished, as she then got to work.[/i] [i]A couple of minutes later...[/i] [u]"Tada!"[/u] [i]Marcia was finished. A ten foot tall snowman stood within the Dojo, made completely out of ice and snow. Raindrops simply froze around it, so that they wouldn't destroy it at all.[/i]
-
Snow squealed with excitement, having helped keep it together here and there. "That was fun! I can't wait till a snowstorm hits!" ... "Please dont try causing one. You'll kill yourself if you do."
-
[u]"Fine, fine."[/u] [i]Marcia only stood in place, staring at the massive snowman that she and Snow had formed. It's crystalline nose and eyes, it's thick white body. It was something she would remember.[/i]
-
"This was fun." she said again. "I wonder if we'll eventually make a bigger one.." she said, a little worn out.
-
[u]"Whenever it really snows...well, whenever a blizzard rolls by. So, er...got any more abilities I can copy?[/u] [u]...I'm joking, I'm joking."[/u] [i]Marcia seemed to find some amusement in what had happened before between the two. Where she had taken advantage of Snow's weakened state, and learned how to use frost manipulation.[/i]
-
"I'd prefer you don't do that again. Ever. Since then i haven't exactly been at the top of my game.."
-
[u]"...It didn't effect you THAT badly...did it? I just...copied you abilities. That's all."[/u] [i]Marcia sounded...worried. Snow said that she was fine; and that was when Marcia was asking her over and over, yet now she's bothered?[/i]
-
"I don't think you did anything life threatening, and i've already been losing my ability to focus on making clumps of snow, so my becoming ever so slightly normal-ish isn't your fault...you just kinda, whats the word, spurred it on?" Snow sounded like she didn't actually know what was going on.
