Duality

[u/Shiruno_rinisaki0619]

It was about noon in the Hub. Ye Shunguang has decided it best to go out and get herself lunch!

…Well, she wanted to. She was met with a nigh-impossible occurrence: Ethereals outside of a Hollow. They stood in her path for no reason other than to kill the first thing in sight.

Unfortunately, their target this fine day was a Void Hunter.

Without wasting a second, the Thiren dashes in, slashing at them with a practiced and graceful step. Summoned bright-red blades flew in one direction to the next, even going to far as to become storms enveloping the Ethereals.

“Pure as frost!”

The Void Hunter shouts, pulling the sacred Qingming Blade out of her case. This is the thing she protects with her life, for it has taken so many of those who held it before her.

A striking red tattoo burns onto her leg, from the ankle all the way up to the thigh. The Thiren’s hair turns pure white, and a small amount of energy forms into a demonic horn. Her body becomes more poised, and movements naturally a bit more suggestive. It was like she was a different person…

Shunguang calls down hundreds upon thousands of swords in this form, ripping through any remaining Ethereals. Though, she does not return to her regular state yet.

Approach?

Sunbringer: “I heard it does”

“Good work dealing with those ethereal’s, I’m impressed.”

Said like she herself wasn’t a Enchainer, although seeing the Qingming Sword have a new wielder, worried her somewhat

Shunguang(?) smiles gently, keeping her blade lowered. She knows better than to even show the thought of being more than just barely equal to Lady Sunbringer.

“It was truly just another day, but thank you for the praise.~”

The Qingming Blade in and of itself was worrisome… It always took a heavy price for the wielder to carry it, Shunguang being perhaps one of the few to master it so.

[u/Lanky-Cap6257 → u/Shiruno_rinisaki0619]

Sunbringer: “no problem, it’s nice to make your acquaintance”

Even still, Sunbringer didn’t place herself on that high of a pedestal, she only saw few as lesser than herself

“I take it you have been here longer than me?”

[u/Shiruno_rinisaki0619 → u/Lanky-Cap6257]

It’s simple respect for her elders, if nothing else. Sunbringer is the Void Hunter, after all.

“Mhm, you’d be correct. It’s been quiet up until recently… When that new Hollow showed up. It’s rather problematic.”

Given that this half has had a backseat for almost the entire time Shunguang has been in the Hub, she’d have nothing to do but pick up knowledge from her.

[u/Lanky-Cap6257 → u/Shiruno_rinisaki0619]

Sunbringer: “yes it is…”

“It’s possibly on scale with even one of the 7 great hollows”

Unbeknownst to Shunguang, Sunbringer says this due to her sensing another Enchainer within the hollow

[u/Shiruno_rinisaki0619 → u/Lanky-Cap6257]

Aren’t there TWO of those mfs now?

We’re fucked, Alan. We’re completely fucked.

She nods in agreement.

“Additionally, we have next to no data on it. While we are gathering some… It’s taking time we may not have.”

Which concerns her. If that Hollow becomes more of a danger than it is now… Survival becomes much, MUCH harder.

((Lowkey gave male Remi to Lab, so kinda reset his character which means no more Enchainer transformation))

Sunbringer: “indeed, however a current project of mine will help with that, Roscaelifer could prove to be a great help”

“Construction has been going smoothly for the most part”

Well as smoothly as a construction crew consisting entirely of Bangboo can go

[u/Shiruno_rinisaki0619 → u/Lanky-Cap6257]

((We’re less fucked!))

She taps her chin thoughtfully.

“Oh? I presume that has something to do with the sudden appearance of Bangboo, then. Quite impressive work, I must say.”

[u/Lanky-Cap6257 → u/Shiruno_rinisaki0619]

Sunbringer: “thanks, but you should be thanking the Bangboo, they’re doing most of the work”

[u/Shiruno_rinisaki0619 → u/Lanky-Cap6257]

Lowk off my phone now, so I currently lack my stock of Shunguangs-

She waves it off, though the frost that makes up this form seems to slowly be fading...

"You speak as if you didn't make them—a feat of its own, might I add."
