[u]"Oh, I'd get called out way too quickly. Y'know, blood manipulation and all that stuff. I'd get too carried away too early."[/u]
[i]Irina's blood manipulation, an ability she found while she spent a hella short time in Vigil was overpowered as all hell, so she could have literally gone up to anyone in the tournament and made them into a bloody pulp in seconds.[/i]

[i]"Heh, you know, that doesn't actually seem too bad." JT would be totally unaffected by any sorts of blood -blam!-ery, because his bloodstream was trillions upon trillions of EMP-hardened nanites. As for others though, well they would be boned like a Spanish hooker. So he didn't know the pure destructive power. [/i]
-
[u]"I've yet to actually manipulate the bloodstream of someone else, honestly. Mostly because I could blow up one of their veins if I wanted to, or something of the sort. Draw their blood out, crystallize it; there's a lot you can do. Course...I'd get shot, and the best I could do is cover that wound with frozen blood."[/u] [i]In truth, Irina hadn't actually begun to manipulate another being's blood to the maximum, and she could only do so in close proximity. Close enough proximity to where she would get immediately decimated by a shotgun, to be honest.[/i]
-
[i]"You can crystallize it? How?" Little bit of info on why JT doesn't know what crystallizing really is: His homeland, Cylak, was not the greatest place for education and it wasn't valued highly like physical labour was, so the Cowboy dropped out of high school in grade twelve to support his parents, sister and girlfriend before his exile. [/i]
-
[u]"Basically holding it in place, there's so much science behind it that I don't even know. I personally call it crystallization, because the blood looks like crystals."[/u] [i]Irina wasn't exactly the most informed person ever, although she had received some education back in Yharnam. Not a lot of technological education - she couldn't work a computer or phone - but basic science and such.[/i]
-
[i]"How the hell do crystals help in combat scenarios?" At this point, it was safe to assume JT was actually an idiot. [/i]

Edited by Orn: 12/11/2016 6:41:17 PM[u]"Closing up wounds? Blocking the blood stream or veins of an opponent? Hell, killing unarmored opponents?"[/u] [i]Irina was simply naming stuff off the top of her head, really. Things she had meant to try out soon.[/i]
-
[i]"Actually that's pretty smart. You got any ideas for Nanoblood?" [/i]
-
[u]"Nanoblood...I assume that's more machine stuff, then? I'm not good with machines personally, and I'm not sure. I'll look into that, though."[/u] [i]This basically revealed just how technological Irina actually was - yes, she had a darksaber, but she didn't exactly know too much about it, only "Press button, don't touch the blade".[/i]
-
[i]"Yeah, it's an aug, custom thing that only my store does. Unfortunately nobody knows just how good it is and everyone goes to secondhand shit." [/i]
-
[u]"Wonder if I could get something like that...Eh, I'm too poor to afford it."[/u] [i]Irina was poor as hell, really. Yes, I ran a currency system with her, so she has a select amount of money at the moment.[/i]
-
[i]"Yeah, I rarely give augs for free nowadays." That was a truth, JT only did certain things free. He supplied plastic limbs and new skin for free, but that was all. [/i]
-
[u]"Doubt I could afford it. 'Less you'd trade, but then again I have nothing that would really be of worth."[/u] [i]Irina hated not being able to pay for things, especially things that could save her life. Yes, she had a darksaber and Grant's pistol, which was basically the biggest -blam!- you to anyone with armor, but still.[/i]
-
[i]JT did trades, but it would have to be something he'd get a lot of use out of. And considering his old acquaintances and allies hooked him up, he didn't need much. "Eh, augs aren't for certain people. Some prefer biologic enhancements." [/i]
-
[u]"I guess I'd be more of an augmentation person. If y'know - I could afford them."[/u] [i]Irina chuckled to herself, crossing her arms as she looked at JT with a smirk on her face.[/i] [u]"Biological enhancements, as in...?" [/u]
-
[i]"Extra muscles in the body, denser bones, that sort of thing." JT had dabbled in the arts of bioscience before on some willing test subjects, but he only understood how to do the most basic of things when it came down to it. [/i]
-
[u]"I mean, I could probably put some of that to use. Extra muscles...Would give me more strength when I swung my sword."[/u] [i]Irina smirked at the thought, although she figured she had enough strength to properly use her weaponry. It wasn't all about strength to her, really.[/i]
-
[i]"Yeah, they're useful. Extra muscles in the legs make ya faster, extra muscles in the arms bolster strength, you get the gist." "So, what do you do around this place for fun?"[/i]
-
[u]"Fun? Excuse you. This place is not for...fun."[/u] [i]Irina smirked a little - before actually replying to JT in a less sarcastic manner.[/i] [u]"Honestly, there isn't much to do that's really fun around here. I can't get you drunk, so that's a hopeless cause. I'm genuinely hated wherever I go, and honestly that's understandable. So yeah. You?"[/u]
-
[i]"Oh I'm done here. I have other frontiers to explore, space is my Wild West." [/i]
-
[u]"Hey; I don't blame ya. Then again, I sorta did take Grant's place as Ranger...obviously not through murder. He promoted me...retired recently."[/u]
-
[i]"Really? Good for that dude. I'm just here for my girl and my shop, so once they go or Char agrees to come, I'm dipping."[/i]
-
[u]"Heh. I'd leave if it wasn't for Athena and the NCR, so it looks like we're in a semi-close situation. Those two things...they're the only things that I guess you could say...hold me back. Changed me, even."[/u]
-
[i]"Aye, that's a good thing." JT soon looked down at his right forearm's bottom side and pulled his sleeve to his elbow momentarily, tapping away at it before standing. "Well Irina, I best be off. Good luck with your people issue." That said, the Marshal walked off without another word. [/i]
