"Haha ! "Mad" is nothing but a synonym for "Visionary !"

She laughs again.

"Ho, I just cranked it at full power ! I can use it to..."

Cinke blast Neuff again, and transform her into an old woman. She's still dressed in her teenager clothes, so it might be a bit of a Fan Disservice.

"Cinke... what's that about a murderous AI ?" says the ninth sister, with a somewhat weak voice.

"Nothing !"

The old woman looks at Nicole.

"My dear, will you help an elderly and inform me ?"

Tan takes the cards back and grins, turning it to face Severus, then to face himself, then to Severus (it's still the same card) then back to himself before he folds it in two. Having it just sit and resting on his open palm held shut by his thumb for a few moments before the boy just seems to put the playing card into his mouth, where he coughs a little before seemingly just swallowing it whole.

The boy just lets out his huge grin, then a wide smile as he opens his young mouth, with a couple of gaps from a couple of baby-teeth having fallen out wide, to show its empty. No playing card.

Afterwards he pauses suddenly, guesting with a finger up and a surprised look or someone buzzed with an idea. At which point he then looks down at his own torso then to Severus's lower body slowly, tracing his head and eyes up with his hand pointing the whole time till he stops on a pocket, where he points multiple times with a playful grin, looking up at Severus and sticking his tongue out.

If the pocket is checked, a folded up Ace of Spades is inside.

Severus checks his coat pocket, then raises an eyebrow upon discovering the card.

"Impressive... Most impressive. How did someone as young as you learn these tricks? Are you self-taught?"


"Whatever you say, Lex Luthor. So... Mind turning Neuffie here back to normal? Y'know, before you go off to steal forty cakes and all."

Nicole shifts her gaze to Granny!Neuff.

"Yeah, that was just me making a joke. Y'know, since your sister here's, well... Eccentric."

Tan giggles and bows with a quick flourish of his cape with his act of showmanship, at which point he looks back up and smiles cheerfully and nods to the question with a proud look.

"Why would you make a joke with an old woman ? RESPECT YOUR ELDERS, YOUNG LADY !"

She looks at Cinke.

"Hand me the gun, youngster !"

"No way ! What happens if you die of old age here ? I want to test it out !"

The old woman twitch, and moves at lightspeed to elbow Cinke, instantly pulverizing the scientist (except for a single eyeball) and the entire city-blocks behind her, demonstrating a level of strength far beyond her regular showing.

"Ho..."

She picks up the gun.

"You know, Nicole, our power grow with us. In three years, I'll be much stronger than I am right now. So, heh, imagine how strong I am as an old woman."

Neuff blast herself, and regains her old apparence, she smirks in a satisfied manner and flicks her hair back.

"But even with that, I prefer my young, gorgeous self."

"Well, for one who's self-taught, you seem like you could give trained professionals a run for their money."


Nicole can only let out a low whistle at what just happened.

"Dayum, girl... Talk about a good reason to Never Mess with Granny. Especially when they can just one-shot Lex Luthor's long-lost daughter like that."

She then tousles Neuff's hair.

"But yeah, I think I like you the way you are right now, too, Neuffie."

"Who's Lex Luthor though ?" she asks, surprised.

Meanwhile, Cinke start to regenerate "from" the eye, Neuff just stare at her.

"Hum, that gun... imagine if I use that on Troa ?"

Tan's proud childish grin grows wider as he hops up and down a little and pistpumps a little excitedly nodding in response. The compliment and encouragement clearly making him quite happy.

At this point he takes back his whiteboard he was holding between his legs and continues writing again. 'I enjoy doing tricks. I think they're fun and people get happily surprised. I know more tricks to, even escape artist stuff just like TV and Youtube magicians!' Tan writes out quickly but still beuitfully before turning the whiteboard around and presenting it.

"Oh? And what sort of other tricks do you speak of?"


"Y'know, the evil bald businessman who's Superman's archenemy. Once, during, er... weirder times, he apparently took forty cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible."

Nicole then smirks slightly.

"Heh, wouldn't that be something? The corrupt Mafia boss suddenly zapped back into being a baby. I bet she'd never see that coming."

"Ho, never heard of him."

After all, her story takes place in 2241, it'd be hard for her to remember a character introduced in 1939.

"Yeah, she'd be surprised. And... that would be a swell way of beating her, you know ? She can overpower my strongest blow with her pinky, but her strength and speed means shit if she's transformed into a baby !"

"But, huh, let's not kill her while she's weakened, right ? She'd respawn in her base form, probably... and I'm a lot of things, but I ain't a baby killer."

Tan smiles and quickly returns to writing, 'I got card tricks and coin tricks and escape artist tricks as well as disappearing and appearing tricks. I can do knife throwing and juggling too!' He presents back allowing Severus to read it grinning happily before after sufficient time has passed giggling and flourishing his cape with his arms like a strong breeze hit it. At which point a white dove seems to somehow fly out from behind him somehow hidden in his cape off into the distance.

"All of that at your age? Are you certain that all of those skills are self-taught?"


"Well, yeah, I kinda figured we weren't gonna kill her after turning her into a baby. She ain't getting off easy, though, I'm betting. In fact, I think she's gonna be sent to permanent time out after we zap her."

"Heh. Maybe Cinke would build something to hold her..."

Cinke, totally naked, just stare, grinning.

"I agree to make a cage, my friends !"

"Gah ! Put on clothes, you idiot !"

The kid nods slowly and goes back to writing. 'Yep! I watched some Youtube videos and read some books but I got no teacher to help me. Everyone at home's too busy fighting.' Is what is written back.

"I see... Is there any reason your family bickers so much?"


Nicole quickly manages to cover her eyes in time.

"Jesus! Okay, I'd appreciate you making that cage and all, but please, put some clothes on!"

She turns to Neuff.

"You never told me she was this weird."

#235466: Feb 14th 2017 at 5:39:16 PM

Tan nods again. 'It's complicated. Everyone's been fighting since Father died.' He holds back the sign, there wasn't really a look of emotion, even sadness visible on him though, he just remained with a small smile upon his face.

"I never told you much about the others though."

She looks away... and Cinke exploits this by sucker-punching Neuff through entire buildings, while taking the gun back. She press on a button in her (intact) glasses and clothes appears around her in a moment.

"Muhaha ! I heard you ! I will not let my weapon be used for your petty conflicts !" she yells, in excitement, as Neuff slowly gets up in the rubble.

"Nicole ! Just slow her down !" yells the sister, as she prepares to teleport.

"Oh... My condolences, then."

Severus lays a hand on Tan's shoulder.


"Got it!"

Nicole transforms into her Draconic form, then roars in Cinke's face before attempting to grab her by the ankle in order to slam her against the ground several times like this so as to subdue her.

Cinke is surprised and get slammed multiple times. She's fairly shaken up at the end of it, but just smirks.

"Haha, a good test for my physical might !"

The tanned sister leaps and try to uppercut Nicole right in the jaw ! However, she soon sees that the gun is out of her reach, right in Neuff's hands.

"Teleportation, biatch !"

Cinke scowls and... just retreat in the sand, seemingly unwilling to fight since the beating still weakened her by a good margin. Neuff just stare at Nicole.

"Good pounding ! You okay there, tho ?"

Tan shakes his head and just continues smiling a little bit, resting a hand on Severus' arm before writing again. "I'm not sad. Don't worry. I didn't know Father well, I was really young at the time."

"Even so, it sounds as if life at home isn't exactly well for you."


Nicole brings up an arm to block the uppercut, then prepares to swipe at Cinke with her claws before the latter retreats. Afterwards, she goes back to her normal form before flashing a grin at Neuff and giving her a thumbs up.

"Just fine, Neuffie! Been a while since I got to lay a good smackdown in my Draconic form!"

She walks over to the redhead and tousles her hair.

Tan shrugs a little at that, a unsure look before replying more, a small smile at the hand on his shoulder though, a little comforting. "It's not great but it's home. I spend time either in my room or I go out and explore and do tricks for people." the kid, decently young responds, seemingly perfectly happy and comfortable to explore the Arena of all places over his own home which... Well that might say something about either him not knowing how bad Arena can be, or about how bad his home situation.

Nicole bids farewell to Neuff, then takes her leave.

"I know it dangerous. Don't worry. I know what to do if it get dangerous or someone tries to grab me." He responds a confident look on his face, though not a smile clearly not a topic he likes thinking about.
