[Sheena looks at the woman intently.]

You have experience doing this, don't you?

[Yes, she's a little slow to catch on...]

[obimycommands]

Laughing at fools? Indubitably.

[So much experience]

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena's eyes narrow even more.]

I mean changing form; otherwise, you wouldn't be looking down on those people.

[obimycommands]

Of course, that as well. I am a tsukumogami after all.

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena's eyes narrow in confusion.]

I have never heard that word before.

[Despite appearances, Sheena isn't from Earth.]

[obimycommands]

Thou wouldst not be the first here to say that.

Tsukumogami are objects that have gained being and life of their own.

[ninjainviolet]

Oh. So you're an object come to life? Which means your experience is in going from object to human, and not the other way around, right?

[She pauses.]

How hard was that the first time you did it?

[She may be asking an innocent question, or trolling. In Sheena's case, it's a little of both.]

[obimycommands]

More or less, thou hast it correct. But the process matters little when thou spends time going between the two so frequently.

The first time...? It simply happened on its own.

[ninjainviolet]

So, kind of like what some people experience here.

[Her gaze becomes distant.]

I had a friend who told me her change happened during an earthquake when she wasn't even thinking about it.

Like that?

[obimycommands]

Hmm, that seemeth brought on by a high time of stress, doth it not? And that can certainly catalyze the powers of some tsukumogami, mine own transformation was rather mundane. As a tsugumomo, the acclimation of my being as a creature with life and will from an object was a gradual change.

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena nods. Times of stress or even times of not even really thinking about things can bring about the sudden change--simply because your body's ready for it. It's the mind that has to catch up.]

How gradual? A couple of friends gave me advice, but I think because I meditate helped me out. Otherwise, I'd probably still be having problems.

[That's her theory, anyway, since ninja are supposed to be stealthy and know some neat tricks of deception and change.]

[obimycommands]

Well... over the course of years, really. I grew consciousness, and then after that, obtained the ability to assume a human form. It happened much without mine thinking about it.

[ninjainviolet]

Years? That is gradual. [She looks out over the field at those trying--some succeeding, some growing frustrated--in their attempts.]

Unfortunately, not everyone has that opportunity.

[She turns back to the girl.]

If you don't mind me asking, but what's your other form?

[obimycommands]

So it seemeth. I suppose, if I were but a normal obi and someone told me to become a tsukumogami right away, it would be like as troublesome. Fact aside that they would be a fool talking to a piece of cloth.

[She grins at that question]

I am Kiriha, tsugumomo of the sakura obi.

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena stares at the girl for a moment, then at her own obi, then back again.]

You're kidding...

[Said not in a tone of disbelief, but in that "Wow. I've got something to tell you" tone.]

[obimycommands]

Hmm? I have not reason to lie about mine identity.

[ninjainviolet]

No. I didn't mean it that way. It's just that...

[And she proceeds to partially trans form her arm into her Weapon form.]

I'm an Obijime.

[ooc: Until I can find a better picture, the main color is black.]

[obimycommands]

Hmhm, that's quite a coincidence! How amusing.

[Kiriha's more amused than shocked.]

If we just had a kimono, we could be a set.

[Even if she JUST complained to Hyoubu about making that joke]

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena looks at her before rolling her eyes and trying not to chuckle.]

That was bad...

[obimycommands]

Hmhm, and I doubt thou wouldst like to be so snug with me either, would thee?

[Though, not like she was actually worn in combat]

Still, an obijime... what sort of technique art thou used with?

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena actually stops to think about that.]

Hmmm. I'm not so sure. There are people who can use two Weapons. If they can be smuggled into an area as being worn, then yes, I'd work with you that way.

[She's a ninja, that's how she thinks.]

I can be used as a whip. I have some elemental properties, too.

[obimycommands]

Oh, surprisingly practical. [For how pissy you were being before]

Elemental properties?

[ninjainviolet]

[That's Sheena. She's more mercurial than a thermometer, and changes temperatures even faster.]

Yeah. The different colored thread represent an element. Red for Fire, orange for Earth and so on.

[obimycommands]

Ho, quite interesting. I'm almost a bit jealous of that versatility, though I've mine own.

[ninjainviolet]

[She sighs and looks at her arm as it changes back.]

It's not really versatile. Back home, I could use different elemental cards equally. Here, I think the resonance I have with a Meister decides on only one that can be used.

[She looks at the other woman.]

What's your ability?
