"Slayer of dragons. He prefers warrior shapes." Vexboy had to see something. He sat on the couch and showed the cat spirits a pic. "Im just damn curious about this. What do cats think of catgirls?" He showed them some Tokyo Mew Mew stuff.

Felix took Vexboy's 'link, and Tiddybombom and Fluffle-oh-Seven gathered around. Pawssanove never moved from the couch. "No materialize, no see the commlink, si?," Felix explained.

The three looked politely at the images Vexboy shared. It was clear that they were being respectful of their friend's interest, which left them uncharacteristically quiet. Then Fluffle-oh-Seven said, "Tuxedo," and it was as though a dam had burst - all three collapsed on the floor in hysterics.

"No Maids. Its an aquired taste I guess." He put away the commlink. "So whats next Master Felix? Assensing training? Summoning Cthulhu? A nap? Im up for anything." Vexboy said with a smile.

[adamu]

"First naps for everyone. Then Cthulhu."

Felix went to his room and the three giant cat people laid down on the floor or nearby furniture and instantly dozed, leaving Vexboy pretty sure Felix had been joking.

He had been serious about the nap. In fact, he and his minions spent an incredible portion of each day napping. Whenever he was awake, however, Felix was putting Vexboy through his paces. They assensed rats, roaches, and oil paintings. They visited a clinic to assense the sick and injured, they assensed the inebriated and the enlightened and everyone in between, and always Felix urged Vexboy to look deeper and deeper. Slowly, the swirling patterns of color started to make sense for the determined young adept....

Vincent nodded. “There is an errand I have to do though? That armor pickup?” He said as he was about to head out the door. “I’ll be back in a few hours Master. I can't wait! This is gonna be super armor!"

As he got on his motorcycle. He looked at himself. He wasn't even wearing his anti rad armor. He had learned where and when to wear it as well.

"What happened to fear of essence loss?" asked the Dragonslayer in his crackling background count affected voice. Vincent rolled his eyes and drove off. Once he entered the main city proper he stopped at a parking lot and got out his comm. "Hey sis? Where are we meeting?" He got a message a minute later. "At that donut shop. Cliche I know but I am craving sweets." Vincent sighed and made sure his holsters were nice and concealed. He drove off to the what could be called the "seedless" part of Seattle. As he drove in he noticed he was dressed far differently then the average person about. Wageslaves of kinder, relatively, Megas were out and about doing errands or what have you. He was sure the occasional housewife was as well. It was mostly human with the occasional dwarf or elf mixed in. Vincent made sure to stop at every red light and stop sign and obey all the traffic laws and remember that the cops were looking at him even if they weren't. They just were. Period. Time to be on his best behavior because he was NOT about to give up his beloved firearms to anyone.

He walked in and saw Jessica in her casual wear. He tried assensing her. Sure enough he saw essence holes. But he already knew they were there. She had blown half her essence on ware. He frowned. Seeing it himself was jarring. Those angry black spots. "Vincent is everything ok?" Vincent nodded and cracked a smile. "Im sad from missing you?" She smirks. "Ok cmon sappy. Lets head back to my place to drop off this bike of yours." They left together and drove back to Jessica's place. A studio apartment. It was sparce but practical. Reflecting Jessica's personality as a worker. She hated idleness and not having something to do. "Let me get into something that doesnt scream Knight Errant." She says taking off her helmet. And entering another room. Vexboy sprawled himself on the couch. He squirmed a bit in contentment stretching himself out. "Feels like home." He said to himself. "Heya kid don't fall asleep now." "I gotcha." Vexboy thought to himself.

After a minute Jessica came back in a black armored jacket and and jeans. She wore a set of boots. From her side slung a shotgun and a combat knife. She was wearing a set of sunglasses that Vincent knew had several mods. She kicked the sleeping Vincent who was jarred awake. "IM UP!" He said pulling his knife. "Cmon. We gotta pick up this armorset right?" Vexboy nodded and they got in Jessica's Ford Americar. They drove out to the shop and Vexboy got out. "You gotta stay behind. Ok?" She nodded and waited in the car. Vexboy went inside and finagled with the man. After some wait, he was with another customer and apparently the man was VERY picky, he finally got a coded locked briefcase with his new gear. He took it outside
