Comments

[draculabackwards]

*Alucard, more of a visual thinking kind of person, always imagines resonance as being back to back with the other person, being able to guard their back so they can concentrate on all sides and have as little blind spots as possible. It helps that he's talked to and interacted with Six before. He focuses his thoughts to be able to meet but not overpower. Just be back to back, depending on each other.*

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six has never made the attempt like this before. However, as his soul brushes up against Alucard's, he gets a similar mental image to Alucard's. Oh. That definitely makes more sense in his head.]

[He tries to imagine matching that. It's a weak resonance, but it's there.]

[draculabackwards]

*Alucard can feel a flicker of resonance and it is encouraging.*

Try to see if we feel more if you attack some target. When I am with Raidou, the better we do, the more encouragement we feel with each other and then the stronger the resonance gets.

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six eyes one of the practice targets before running towards it. He slashes three times with Alucard, quickly and efficiently, biting into the target to slice off its arms and its head.]

Not too bad.

[draculabackwards]

*And because it is encouraging how they're doing, it helps Alucard attempt better resonance.*

I do not know if what I described works for all Weapons but it seems to work well with me.

[sixthdeadliest]

It's a rather comfortable mindset for me, too. Something solid to focus on.

[He's going to be moving from practice dummy to practice dummy while he says this.]

[draculabackwards]

*Alucard has seen a lot of combat both in his Weapon form and normally in his long life. The practice dummies get lots of wood removed from them after he slashes into them.*

You are quite skilled, Six.

[sixthdeadliest]

Thank you. A little over twenty years of hard work.

[He does another slash.]

Not used to broadswords, but you're very well-balanced. What's your Weapon ability?

[draculabackwards]

*Alucard pondered this while he helped Six chop up some practice dummies.*

At the present time, Raidou and I have discovered that I can make him slide backward to avoid things and create shades that confuse our enemies.

I figure that it won't work off the bat like Maka, Soul, and Witch Hunter. XD

[sixthdeadliest]

Mind if we give it a try?

No, since it's certainly not that dramatic. XD

[draculabackwards]

I cannot guarantee it will work but we can try.

*Alucard describes how it seems to just happen. The Meister has to want to put some distance away from wherever he is and he seems to skate backward with little effort.*

XD Okie dokie. Let me know if this isn't okay.

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six listens carefully to Alucard's explanation before focusing on trying to do that.]

[One problem though. He keeps sliding himself back. Which really doesn't help testing with resonance. He's frowning with concentration, trying to just stop and let Alucard do the work, but he keeps doing it himself instead.]

[draculabackwards]

*It is certainly difficult to pull off when he keeps getting dropped. Odd that he never had this problem with Raidou.*

I think it would be safe to say that this skill will take practice to attempt to work properly between the two of us.

[sixthdeadliest]

Agreed. I keep doing it myself instead of letting you do it for me.

[He frowns in disappointment at himself. Well, no skill ever came to him easily, that's for sure.]
