"I always thought other gorgons are immune to the stone gaze of others?" Timea said in a questioning tone. "Isn't that the case? Or do you have much cattle around, or live with people who aren't gorgons, and it's for their protection?"

[color=46e16f] "Your dress was a little dirty, so I was trying to clean it off... to some avail." [/color] Zephy replied to Matilda before turning to EMily. [color=46e16f] "That... Well, I was born with them. Abilities are passed down hereditarily where we're from." [/color] She'd give a little jerk of the head toward the brunette, her tone a bit snooty. [color=46e16f] "What's odd is that neither of our moms had the abilities we had." [/color] Zephy lightly shook her head as she moved toward Matilda and waved her fan again, to help cool the both of them off. She'd look back toward Emily with a smile. [color=46e16f] "But is it really all that important to know where it came from? Just knowing you have it should be good enough, right?" [/color]
[color=006d5b]"I dunno, I'd kinda like to know where my powers came from."[/color] Matilda commented. [color=006d5b]"And why I have a big sword-shaped birthmark on my spine. Thanks for trying to clean my dress, by the way. I haven't had a chance to really do laundry in the past few days."[/color]
"I'd say the desire to know is much stronger for me than many other people. You see, no one in the history of humans has there been a human gifted with powers like mine. And I'm a scientist at heart, so I like to find evidence and search for the reason as to why things happen. When I became 12 years old I was told that the importance of I and my sister's abilities would come clear to us in time. And in time we would be using them to fight off a menace that threatened the Earth and the Milky Way Galaxy. It seemed like the answer to 'why' we have the powers. But it didn't answer 'how' we got them. All I know is that my genetic material has twice as many nucleic acids as a normal human." She took a breath. "I have three other siblings, with different but related abilities."
The girl made a short hop back before Jane made her next move, then side-stepped Jane's tackle, sticking out her foot to trip Jane up as she did.

"Whut's a 'Gore-gun'?" Sibylla asked Timea, clearly confused. "But yeh, folks also don't want help from no one what might turn their crops'r livestock inta statues..." As the conversation went on, she clearly grew more and more saddened.

Jane had not actually moved, just reached forward with her arms, so the trip would not be effective. In response, she swung a punch at the girl.
(Someone should stop this.)

The blonde girl's ears twitched faintly as Emily spoke. She could feel the desire to know just from how the Mason sister spoke. A little smile curled on her lips as she nodded.. along with a bit of surprise as she heard they'd fought off something threatening an entire galaxy. [color=46e16f] "Wow.... Impressive. That will to learn must've been paramount to that success of yours then. I understand why you'd both want to know 'how'..." [/color] The catgirl leaned backward a bit in an attempt to see this birthmark of Matilda's before leaning back up. [color=46e16f] "Oddly enough, I also have 3 other siblings, including the one fighting over there. Her name's Cybil." [/color]
She'd give Matilda a soft chuckle. [color=46e16f] "No need to thank me. Just doing what I can to play nice." [/color]

Zephy would only be able to see the top of Matilda's birthmark; the hilt of the sword, located between her shoulder-blades.
As Timea approached she get within range, and more importantly the angle, to tell that the sand was indeed moving. The section in the middle was slowly accumulating on itself as it slowly built into a mound. As the mound continued to grow, it would start to resemble a head, like someone was buried in the sand. It looked around a moment before it built up more and more, looking distressed by the way it seemed to look this way and that.
As Timea got closer, and the features got more prominent Timea could tell from the distance this mound was resembling more and more like a human girl, made entirely of sand. The form seemed to stop at about the knees, while the rest of the body finished largely defined. Timea would be able to tell she had arms, a face, a neck, long hair that stretched most of her body length. Basically a 7-8 year old made of sand.
The girl hadn't noticed her yet it seemed, instead she was looking down at her hands, and at the beach itself. She'd somewhat glide around on the ground in a circle a couple of times before looking down at herself again. She'd continue this action countless times while Timea continued her approach before finally the sand girl plopped down on her butt. She'd look around a couple more times before raising her arms to her face and started crying. It was quiet at first, but it didn't take long for Timea to pick up on it even with her average hearing and still modest distance from the girl.

Jane growled and tried to grab Cybil's arm as she deflected.
(She's not going to stop though.)

Zephy blinked as she looked to the birthmark, curious but not willing to pry further. [color=46e16f] "I can see that that's quite the large mark on you... Perhaps you'd be able to summon blades at some point?" [/color] The catgirl offered casually before she'd look back to Emily. [color=46e16f] "Again, no need to thank me. But Cybil..." [/color] The blonde looked over toward the girls fighting and sighed softly as they were still going at it. [color=46e16f] "I feel her ability is something that's better left to her to explain, wouldn't you agree? My other siblings are..." [/color]
She'd pause for a moment before looking a slight bit peeved. [color=46e16f] "One's a darling little gem named Tawny... quiet, polite... and the other is a loudmouth, no good, immature prankster. She's not even worth giving the name." [/color] The blonde huffed again as she hid her mouth and nose behind her open fan. [color=46e16f] "Tawny controls light... and that other, water." [/color]

Speedy, distracted by the fighting noises, looked behind himself and noticed the two new passengers, one of them fighting with Jane. He looked over to the one, then to the other, then to one again. He watched the fight for some time, then first called out to Jane:
"You need to go faster!"
Then he looked at the blond girl again, walked over and asked:
"Hey, where is your fur?"

"I see. Well, that's enough of that. I promised you sun, not a great rain cloud hanging overhead", Timea stated, noting Sibylla's mood dropping. "Ready~?" she asked after a short moment of silence, asking it in a sing-song tone.
Opening her mouth, Timea did as she told, and shined a beam of sunlight onto Sibylla. The light wasn't terribly bright, and was unlikely to hurt the snakes' eyes unless they stared directly at Timea's mouth, and she kept the UV ray output down so there wasn't any risk of burning Sibylla with it. Every four seconds, the beam was broken as Timea stopped to take a breath.

Presently
As she approached the mount, and saw it shaping up to become girl-shaped, Timea stopped the approach, and look on in confusion, taking a moment to process what she was seeing, the constant whispers in her head. Shaking her head, Timea looked around the girl's body for a gem, rationalising the girl's living inorganic-ness by thinking she must be of the same sort as Topaz or Aqua, and becoming even more confused.
Continuing her approach, Timea opened her mouth and was about to speak, when the girl plopped down and began to cry. At this, Timea picked up speed. Strange though she looked, the girl was still a child.
"Hey, hey... what's wrong?" she asked softly.
OoC: Hard to brain good... off to bed.
"I'm assuming Maya is the other who you don't like so much. I know how that feels." She chuckled. "My sister, Gwen, often got into fights with me as kids. Eventually we didn't care any more when we both became of age. Gwen controls gravity and is sensitive to space-time bending. She's more assertive and has a bit of a tongue. Winona is a tiny and childish girl who, deep down, displays a lot of maturity when it comes to friendship and science. She controls the weak nuclear force, the force responsible for making the stars shine and nuclear decay. And Sara is our bold guardian. She's the tallest, and is the least likely to get tricked. She controls the strong nuclear force, creating nuclear explosions that must be treated with care and precision."
Withdrawing her arm from the opposite angle Jane attempted to grab her from, Cybil turned, grabbing at Jane's extended arm and, if successful, rolling Jane over her shoulder to throw her against the deck. [color=9f2089]"Okay seriously, we're done now."[/color]
[color=006d5b]"I can already do that."[/color] Matilda stated, as her cane slowly started to glow, as it changed shape into a golden longsword. [color=006d5b]"There's also a set of scales on the birthmark, and I've got no idea what that's about."[/color]
