[So here's Kurt, taking a stroll through town. Heading on into the darker districts, for a change; just wanting to get away from the light for once.

Wanting some space to think. To be himself, so to speak. As he comes to a spacious plaza, he looks around, and stops. Well, seems like a good enough spot as anything to try something he's been considering for a week or two, anyway.

Slowly, he starts pulling darkness around him, shifting into his more natural shape, but - stops. Back to human, back to part-way again - and with each attempted change, the result looks more defined, more settled as a separate form. Heartless, but humanoid. Could be useful, he thinks...]

[Meanwhile, across town, in a square on the sea front...

After two years living in a desert city, being around cold weather's pretty weird for Layla. But she's making the best of it - especially with what she's just discovered.

A skating rink!

Was this here yesterday? Will it be there tomorrow? Who knows! And frankly, right now, she doesn't care. While she's out of practice, she's dashing across the ice, finding her feet on the slippy stuff.

Damn, this is fun.]

[Tactical advantage, that replica. As it is, Kurt's recovery is far, far less smooth than it would be from his more usual forms.]

You--! Hah!

[that just makes the Replica think the attack was SUPER EFFECTIVE and now it gets cocky and overconfident, trying out some flashier blade strikes that happen to have terrible openings for counterattack]

Take that!

[Can he still- right, swords get! Kurt is obviously clumsy here, but goes for the obvious gaps.]

Watch yourself, boy...

[the Replica is taking shameless advantage of Kurt not being at the top of his game, darting around to try to avoid the hits, though it staggers whenever a blow does connect]

I'm getting lots stronger! Ha ha ha!

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

Well, you certainly know when to press the advantage!

[And he can't fault the kid for it. Even if it does mean that he's getting whacked himself on occasion.]

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

That's because I'm all smart and stu-- oof!

[you got a good hit in and the Replica staggers again, nearly falling on its butt]

[agrabah-weapon.livejournal.com]

You're also very confident.

[Using that chance to move back in...]
