Title: Mirror

It's not a mirror, but it is a reflective place. It's dusk and the area is a large plain with a decrepit tree in the middle. The ground is covered in water, maybe a foot deep, that glints in the approaching moonlight. Blades of long grass poke out and the place is just silent.

Majora's Mask - March 26, 2007 12:14 PM (GMT)
::Prue appears here.::

Prue - March 26, 2007 12:26 PM (GMT)
::Prue looks mildly surprised, then jumps because her feet are soaked.::

"Uh!"

(Water?)

::She sees she's standing in a huge pool of water so getting out is pointless. She walks towards the tree slowly, since it seems to be the only thing other than her that's in existence.::

(...)

Astral Prue - March 26, 2007 11:46 PM (GMT)
::Prue's reflection shifts, glowing slightly. Water explodes upwards, sending out a telekinetic shockwave to throw the real Prue up and off her feet::

Prue - March 26, 2007 11:51 PM (GMT)
::Creating an equally large splash as she lands, Prue jumps to her feet, gasping. As the water mist clears she stares... at herself::

"You? Me?"

(What the hell kind of test is this?)

::She gestures and brings up water tendrils, binding her astral self while walking forwards::

Astral Prue - March 26, 2007 11:54 PM (GMT)
"It's not always about you. Maybe this is about me?"

::Her eyes narrow and throw a telekinetic blast forward, throwing up a spray of water. The liquid bindings around her ripple and blast off::

Prue - March 27, 2007 12:05 AM (GMT)
::Prue frowns and brings up her hand, taking the blast and pushing against it with her own, equal, might. The water turns to mist and bubbles float serenely on the surface of the disturbed water::

(How can I even beat myself? We're the same. Why should I even have to?)

::The water parts and she runs forward, launching herself into the air with a flying kick::

Astral Prue - March 27, 2007 10:47 AM (GMT)
::AP pulls Prue's leg towards her as she sidesteps, attempting to swing her twin away on her own momentum::

Prue - March 27, 2007 10:52 AM (GMT)
::Prue lets herself fall back, but not before twisting her legs around the torso of AP. They both fall to the ground and roll, each vying for the top spot in their equally matched fight. Somehow Prue pins AP through a combination of her arms and TK::

"Why are you even fighting me?"

Astral Prue - March 27, 2007 10:54 AM (GMT)
::AP doesn't answer, just thrashes on the spot and bucks up and down, the water frothing around her as she lashes out telekinetically. If the pressure from Prue's touch wasn't strong enough to keep disrupting her focus she'd be able to throw her off. Instead she puts what energy she can muster into a childish teklekinetic pinch on Prue's sides. The shock of it looses her for a moment as Prue recoils with a surprised gasp and AP rises up to deliver a TK punch at her stomach::

Prue - March 28, 2007 09:33 AM (GMT)
::Prue finds herself bent forward and flying backwards. Water cascades when she lands, her head going under for a moment before bursting back up through the surface. That hurt.::

(I don't understand.)

Astral Prue - March 28, 2007 09:34 AM (GMT)
::Astral Prue is on her feet and striding towards her other self.::

"You can't beat me."

Prue - March 28, 2007 09:36 AM (GMT)
"I have to."

::Prue mutters to herself, quickly getting up. She gestures to create a wave from her astral self's left coming to hit her, but it's a feint that drops at the last moment for the other, bigger wave from the right.::

(I have to defeat myself, that must be it.)

::But that doesn't make much sense to Prue.::

Astral Prue - March 28, 2007 09:37 AM (GMT)
::Prue gets hit by the wave and it knocks her off her feet. However, she astrals out before hitting the ground and reappears in front of the real Prue, already sending a jab at her face.::

Prue - March 28, 2007 09:40 AM (GMT)
::Prue hisses and recoils, stumbling back with her hands covering her mouth. A wave of pain slides over her face which becomes a sharp, then dulled throb. She pulls her hands away and looks at the blood mixing with the water droplets on her skin. She glares at Astral Prue, annoyed now. She runs towards her, water rising beneath her feet and being held there telekinetically so it rises like stairs until Prue is a few feet off the ground. She then jumps, twisting her body and sending a spinning kick at Astral Prue.::

Astral Prue - March 29, 2007 12:21 AM (GMT)
::Astral Prue is hit by the kick and lands with a big splash, but is quickly up again and charging at Prue. She sends a volley of TK blasts at her counterpart, a determined scowl on her face.::

"You can't beat me!"

Prue - March 29, 2007 12:23 AM (GMT)
"So you keep saying."

::Prue defends herself against the blasts, but something's coming to mind. This is Astral Prue, right? Years ago, her astral projection ran riot as the manifestation of Prue's subconscious desires.::

(...)

::Acting fast, Prue runs directly towards her other self, watching her every movement.::

Astral Prue - March 29, 2007 12:24 AM (GMT)
::Astral Prue's hips lift; she's starting to jump to aim a kick right at Prue's face.::

Prue - March 29, 2007 12:25 AM (GMT)
::So Prue ducks, rolling onto her side and over so that Astral Prue leaps over her. She quickly gets up, water dripping from her hair. She shakes her head and it flies.::

"You're right."

Astral Prue - March 29, 2007 12:26 AM (GMT)
::Astral Prue lands on her feet and turns around once she's got her balance.::

"... what?"

Prue - March 29, 2007 12:29 AM (GMT)
"You're right."

::Prue stands still, her hands loose at her sides. She's just realised something.::

"I can't beat you."

Astral Prue - March 29, 2007 12:29 AM (GMT)
"..."

::Astral Prue looks disconcerted by this revelation. She walks back towards Prue, anxious.::

"What? You're just gonna give up?"

Prue - March 29, 2007 12:30 AM (GMT)
"Yeah."

::Prue looks completely calm.::

"I can't beat you. You're my subconscious. I can't have control over you, and if I did, it wouldn't be right."

Astral Prue - March 29, 2007 12:30 AM (GMT)
::Looking a little panicked now, Astral Prue shoves Prue back.::

Prue - March 29, 2007 12:31 AM (GMT)
::And Prue stumbles, but she doesn't fall, nor does she otherwise react.::

Astral Prue - March 29, 2007 12:31 AM (GMT)
"Fight me."

Prue - March 29, 2007 12:31 AM (GMT)
"No."

Astral Prue - March 29, 2007 12:31 AM (GMT)
::Astral Prue bares her teeth. She aims a punch at Prue's jaw.::

Prue - March 29, 2007 12:32 AM (GMT)
::Prue doesn't move, ready to take it.::

Majora's Mask - March 29, 2007 12:32 AM (GMT)
::Everything goes black.::
