"Luckily for us we are like international water, different set of rules. Toast to trying new things." Jet clinks her cup with Elia's before downing her own.

How often would I need to feed? Once a week? Once a day? Twice a day?
"Jet, after this, would you like to have a friendly duel?" Arcturus asked as he straightened his back and cracked it.

"This is where rumors our kind spread give us a bad name. You won't have an insatiable thirst anymore than a human has insatiable hunger. In fact you can vomit from eating too much. Once a day is enough, but you'll usually want three. And if you're wondering why the virus even affects your reproductive organ it's because vampirism requires a body that surpasses the human physique. So your private must rise in rank to fit in with the rest of your new found biology."
"Why not." She said as she bit into some eggs. "But it can't last too long as it's my shift with Pearl next."

Ooh, I almost forgot! What affect does sunlight have on you? If I remember correctly, different vampires from different regions experience different effects under sunlight. Some burn, some weaken, some even sparkle.
"I'll set the rules for it." Arcturus smiled as he ate a small chunk of what might have been either cockatrice or basilisk. "How about, one round, and the winner is decided when the other party is unable to recover from falling down in five seconds."

"Once it brought me to my knees, now, it makes me glow. You might be the same without enduring my suffering."
"Sounds good. Shake on it?" She extends her hand to him awaiting his in return.

It makes you glow? Is it bright, or barely noticeable?
"Of course." Arcturus shook Jet's hand with a firm grip before letting go. "I need to practice fighting against faster opponents. Graecius is a bit slow, and Alto always relies on spells instead of martial skill when we strike up a duel. I'm glad that she's lost interest in me, if you know what I mean. She's already done it to several students already."
He shuddered at the thought before standing up and stretching.
"You know, I might test out a new technique or two on you, so if it explodes in my face, don't be alarmed."

"You'll develop a tattoo in the design of my clan's symbol. That will glow and it's usually on the arm."
"You saw Valkyrie and the commotion earlier tells me you saw Kashmir. My power is different from both. So those new techniques better be impressive. I may not be on Wha-Wha's or Rhea's level of combat, but I'm still strong." Jet smiled as she finished breakfast.

Oh, that's interesting. I guess as long as it's inconspicuous...
"Well, one of them's more flashy than anything, but the other should pack quite a bit of a punch, hopefully." Arcturus tried to reassure Jet as he summoned the dwarven armor from before and put it on. "You know, this armor's a bit heavier than what I'm used to, but it fits very nicely. It's weight shouldn't be much of a problem anyways."

"You picked the rules so I'll pick the Arena. Just let me wait to see something." Two minutes go by before a black haired Nymph comes back from a mist covered in blue paint. "That bad Alice?" She simply nodded as she left to the nearest bath. Page sighs as Jet gives her a shrug. Valkyrie takes Page to a meadow nearby where Pearl is on the floor laughing as a group of her sisters try to get her to stay still. "That's what I'll have to go through soon. You ready?"

"Sure am." Arcturus replied with a smile as he warped in Lenna and held it at his side with both hands. "So who's gonna announce the start of the duel?"

"I'll do it." Cream proclaimed as she stretched in her chair. "It's been awhile since I saw Jet use her Alma." Mist transports them to an Arena of floating rocks hovering in between whirlpools with an ice field at the center. Cream stands in the middle as she raises a red flag, previously holstered in a sculpture of an ice hand. "The combatants know the rules, begin!"

I was expecting a more traditional arena...
Arcturus quickly swung Lenna down towards the ground, breaking off a large chunk of ice and suspending it in the air. He smiled as he swung towards the floating object, sending it flying at Jet like a baseball.
She has only a few options: Jumping and therefore losing her ability to maneuver as she moves, sprawling and leaving herself open for a slam, or using her power. Any of them work out for me.

Jet catches the ice, but when she realizes there's more power behind it than she anticipated pushing her back, she slams it down using the ice crystals as cover. "Rip apart, Sea of Sorrow!" A water dragon forms of linked lightning and water orbs around Jet, circling her at storm rising speeds. "Second Revival, Stone Ocean!" The dragon erupts, enveloping Jet. When it lifts and separates into eight powered orbs, one being the head and two the claws, around her, She's clad in all white armor with a group of spinning scythe blades around her. From underneath Arcturus three ice pillars burst forth. Glowing orbs inside blow up with steam, earth and electric energy sending him back into a floating boulder. "I'm not holding back. Show me your skills."

"You've got me there; I really wasn't expecting that." Arcturus remarked as he comically used Lenna as a paddle to get the boulder back to the ice. "Well, might as well try the weaker of the two. Gravity Portal... thing!"
After embarrassingly not thinking of a good name for his technique, Arctrurus smashed his hammer down at the ice, opening up a fairly sinister looking portal underneath Jet that began sucking in loose pieces of ice, a few water droplets, and an insect or two.
"If you're wondering why I smack Lenna into the ground to open portals and other stuff, it's because they're stronger that way. Plus, it looks friggin cool." He noticed how Jet was nearly unaffected by it as he spoke. "I'm sorry, it's pretty weak. That's the flashier one. I do it by combining a gravity spell with a portal spell. They don't combine all too well, but it does get rid of the need for a receiver portal, meaning that whatever goes in there is lost forever in limbo. I sorta counted on it not working though. After all, you are probably my favorite in-law. Oh, also, I need a better name for it. Something fairly intimidating but not too descriptive like 'Grand Cross'. Damn, that wizard was one snazzy tree."
After realizing he had trailed off, Arcturus shook his head and prepared a counter stance, lightening Lenna as he held it in his right hand while keeping his left hand forward.

"Heh, you and Elia aren't so bad yourselves... Let's see how you handle this, Heavy wave!" The weapons eyes glowed as it shot an orb at Arcturus. As it crashed against him retaining it's form, Jet increased the density until it was stronger than stone, then kept going.

"Grrk!" Arcturus grunted as he caught the orb in his hands as he flew backwards. "You know, this isn't much of a wave!"
He slowed the sphere as he pushed himself back from it before vaulting from it and summoning Lenna back to his hand.
"Here's a courtesy hit!" Arcturus shouted as he formed a portal below him and thrust Lenna through it, knocking Jet in the back of the head. "You know, this battle would be a lot cooler if I could make a giant out of gravity or something. Too bad it isn't really that tangible."

"Finally." Jet said as Lenna broke the stone white helmet. The Dragon's head roared as it acquired a helmet of it's own. "I got some speed back." She brings down the dense orb crashing it onto Arcturus and releasing heavy waves. With inhuman speed she dashes to Arcturus and goes for a 1, 2 jab. The scythes regrouping underground to avoid cutting him.

"I get it now!" Arcturus shouted as he flew backwards into a portal from Jet's jab only to reappear below her and hit the orb back. "This idea came to me when I was playing a game that Graecius invented for Cleatia's soldiers. Baseball is what it's called."
He twisted in midair from his momentum and flew forwards into another portal, this time coming out behind Jet and grabbing her in a full nelson.
"Feel free to just stand still and get hit." Arcturus told her as he slowed down the orb so he could escape once it impacted.

"Only if you're taking it with me." Jet smiled as she took on her water form. Her almost blade like tail was as heavy as the water orb when it wrapped around Arcturus' midsection and left arm. She simultaneously coordinated it with a backwards headbutt. The ever spinning Scythes still circling them like ice sharks.

"I regret to inform you that part of your hair may be temporarily dyed red." Arcturus sniffled as blood ran out of his nose from the impact of Jet's skull. "You know, I can redirect that ball of water just as well as you can, so if you don't want this to become a game of catch, I advise that you remove it from play."
Arcturus quickly wrapped his legs around Jet's waist before increasing his gravity and falling towards the scythes.
"This will probably be very painful and maybe even lethal for the both of us. This is why I use a hammer."
