Special Announcement

Hard to believe that at the end of this month, it will have been two years since this little dream world started pulling us all into it. Quite a marvel, isn't it? I certainly hadn't expected it to last this long!

Now I'd hoped to have a little surprise I'd had planned for Reverein finished by our two-year anniversary, but our rather rude guest a few months ago pushed back several plans!

Back in Hell, I was often-times referred to as "The Radio Demon" due to my powers over the radiowaves. I've been working with Miss Madhuri and her charming husband on perfecting a means of producing radios here in Reverein, but I ask you this: What fun is there in a radio with only one channel? None, that's what!

I've been working with some of the people at the Observatory to develop the technology for others to broadcast without having to rely solely on my powers, and we're ready to begin construction on a brand-new radio station specially designed for Reverein! One of the advantages to a world of magic and imagination: No need to make a radio tower look like hideous scaffolding! Absolutely delightful! Perhaps someday more towers will be built to connect us to Dragon Island or even places farther afield!

The project should be finished next month, so there's plenty of time to get your hands on a radio of your own to hear the inaugural broadcast!

Stay tuned!

[ She leans back just as much. Hey, not so close! ]

Something like that. Yeah. I'm pretty good at it. The best actually! I can use it to feel what's around me, so it's how I get around.

[lonelysmiles]

I would imagine that you would be far better than most at such an ability! Why, I can only imagine control like that over air would've made it impossible to escape you! You must've been unstoppable at Hide and Seek!

[His ears twitch with excitement.]

A moment if you will! I'd like to test something! Close your eyes!

[He doesn't even stop and consider that closing her eyes would do absolute nothing in this case, but it's clearly not an insult: He sounds like a kid who found an interesting new playmate. Besides, with an ability like Earthbending, she would've been able to manage much easier than the blind in his own world and time period.]

[He runs a few steps before leaping from spot to spot. Then he stops, instead "continuing" on using bursts of sound at various points.]

[Then he waits, grin wide with excitement. Had she been able to track him via sound and the earth alone?]

[toph_luck]

Consider them closed.

[ They are not, in fact, closed. It's all the same really, isn't it? She's not quite sure what he's trying to test. Moving around from place to place, prancing like a ballarina while she stands there, hands on her hips with a confused grin.

The funny thing is, she didn't face him directly when speaking to BEGIN with, so she doesn't even turn once he's done. ]

So... what were you trying to test? You just stood in a different spot.

[ Her foot twists, and the ground beneath him slides to bring the strange demon right back to standing in front of her, like a piece along a chess board. ]

[lonelysmiles]

I was trying to see if you were tracking purely by sound or the feel of motion on the ground. Which would certainly explain the bare feet.

[He grins.]

Given you weren't fooled by me projecting the sound of jumping to other places, you were using the Earth to judge where I'd gone, weren't you? Fascinating!

[toph_luck]

I use all my senses. Just some are more useful than others sometimes.

[ Her hand lifts with a sharp motion, and a lithe human-like figure made of stone forms from the ground. Vague, kindof like a doll. It doesn't have any real fixtures, just thin and about as tall as Alastor. Blurred out. ]

That's what you look like, to me.

[lonelysmiles]

Interesting. [Alastor runs his clawed fingers over the statue.] So this is how you perceive my ambient static?

[toph_luck]

Uh... Hold on.

[ Another shift in stance, her hands reach out, fingers splayed. ]

It's hard to really show you what 'blurry' feels like. Something like this?

[ A few nearby rocks float up as well, shaking in the air before cracking before Alastor's very eyes, her hands twist, then clench into fists, and each stone crumbles into thousands. She hasn't tried this yet, but making sand from stone is kindof like making stone from sand, huh?

The sand swirls in place, forming around the statues features to give it a vague, blurred effect, each grain shifting about in little movements, creating a sandy sort of 'haze' to the statue's already vague form. ]

Something like that.
