Circely Freaked. [CIRCE, P]

And thus the others would fade into darkness, leaving Circe delightfully alone. With a shrug she closed her eyes, dispelling her dojutsu for the time. She saw and sensed nothing nor did she need to rely on her eyes to keep her safe. "Come out, come out wherever you are~" She called with a mischievous little grin. What fun did Wonderland have to offer her? Time would tell.

As if taking the girl's words as a challenge, the wood around Circe began to disappear. Before long, the place had transformed entirely, and Circe was standing in a large and somewhat dirty kitchen. In the corner, an incredibly fat woman sat on a rocking chair, a bundle of screaming rags in her arms.
"Shush now wee babbie, dinnae ye cry so!" She was muttering, tucking her ginger hair behind her ears in a stressful manner at the bundle continued to cry.
"No, i'm nae gettin' ye yer bottle ken, so dinnae gurn lik' that!" The woman said, speaking with a thick, but rather lovely accent.

"Och! I didnae see ye there! Quick, c'maer here." The woman suddenly called, looking up and seeing Circe standing there.
"Hurry up hen, hurry up! The wee babbie's no gonnae last muckle longer!" She said frantically, gesturing wildly for Circe to come closer, while the bundle in her arms screeched louder and louder.

[Circe]

Her nose crinkled at her surroundings. It was so untidy and... wrong. Cira was a creature of cleanliness. Her nose also wrinkled at the sight of the inhabitants. She listened to the woman speak in her uneducated way. "I'm afraid I don't do children." She replied, hands behind her back as she inadvertently took a step forwards.

"Dinnae dae bairns ye say?! Well, wid ye listen tae that! I hire a maid, and they 'dinnae dae bairns'. Awa wi yer cheek! Will ye jist get aer here the noo!?" The fat woman screeched, bouncing the rags in her chubby arms, only causing them to scream louder and louder.
"Will ye jist haud yer wheesht?!" The woman exclaimed, shouting at the bundle now, prodding at its contents with one meaty finger. She then turned back to Circe.

"I mean it, ken? If ye dinnae get aer here and haud the bairn, i'm gonnae fire ye, so i am!" She threatened, holding the bundle out towards Circe. The situation was just getting hotter and hotter, with the screaming from the bundle reaching a hysteric pitch, and the woman getting more and more agitated, her own yelling louder, as if to try and cover up the screams.

[Circe]

Circe eyed the woman with a disgusted glare. "I don't work for you, you old hag. Why don't you just take the child and drop it in a river where it belongs!" Circe countered as she took a step towards the door, her eyes upon the old woman, watching what she would do next.

The old lady was displeased with the answer of the girl, and as the rude female stepped back, she would throw the bundle of rags forward, and they would explode outwards, a living mass of rags as they fluttered around the room quickly. Sure, the girl would go for the door, but it would not be where she had thought, it would be scurrying across the room with quick pace, whimpering as it did so. The rags would envelope the girl and even as much as she would struggle, it would eat her up, then rest on the ground as though nothing would happen, the baby still in the arms of the old woman, who tutted with rancor. Youth these days. Dinnae have respect. [/font]

[Circe]

She saw it before it could happen, the incoming attack, she quickly took a stance and dipped in and out, moving away from the living rag. Around the room she would go, skirting both the old woman and the rags. Her hand dipped into her bag as she stepped. "I swear if you don't stop it I'll blow it up." Circe warned coolly, still dipping away from the rag.

Nameru (To Taste) (5)(10)
Rank: E, D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user, through the sharpening of their five senses and an instinctual knowledge of flow, becomes aware of their surroundings and capable of defending against attacks.
Special: --
Drawback: Can only be learned up to your current Character Rank.
Description: The user strives to expand their senses, taking in data from all five senses and treating each of them as equally important. Through a combination of peripheral vision, hearing, and measurement of air pressure changes, the user becomes capable of perceiving threats around them and reacting accordingly. At E rank, the user can only perceive such threats as traps or projectiles. However, at the following levels, the user becomes capable of perceiving strikes from a foe of an equal level to the rank they have learned. Therefore, a B rank ninja could strike a C rank user of this technique and the user would not be able to perceive them via this technique and lose the majority of the benefits, though their dodging would benefit from the heightened awareness nonetheless. The user may only learn this technique up to their character’s rank. Thus, a C rank character could only learn up to the C rank version of Nameru. Nameru is limited to threats within twenty meters of the foe, as anything that doesn’t enter that radius is beyond the senses of a human to perceive. However, threats are perceivable once they enter that range.
Limit: Must be a user of the Hyouuryuu Yuki no You discipline of the Gintsuki no Seikou Mai. Must know Hyouuryuu Yuki.

Tentou (To Invert) (10)
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user inverts their stance, gently dodging a straight thrust or strike.
Special: --
Drawback: Cannot evade wide-radius attacks.
Description: The user steps forward with their off-foot, twisting it to face forward. As they do so, they turn their main foot perpendicular and away, creating a mirrored version of the normal stance. As they do this, the user rocks their body backwards slightly, allowing any attacks coming from the front to simply ghost past them. Learning the Tentou teaches one to be equally skilled with their main-side and off-side.
Limit: Must be a user of the Hyouuryuu Yuki no You discipline of the Gintsuki no Seikou Mai. Must know Hyouuryuu Yuki.
