Who Blake and YOU
What Training and tattoos, multiple scenarios
When Afternoon
Where Genessia
Warning n/a, slight mentions of Battler but nothing graphic or trigger inducing - will update if that changes





a) Genessia, Outskirts
Blake focused on the clone in front of her,a bead of sweat rolling down her forehead. It flickered and she gritted her teeth. She was trying to make it to a minute. At least a minute, before it faded. She had done it when her back was against the wall. She could do it again. She tried to make another and the minute the second appeared the other faded.

She let out a shout of frustration and sank to her knees. Why couldn't she get it? She had done it before. Did she literally have to have her life hanging in the balance to be able to push herself again? She wiped the sweat off of her face roughly as though it was the rivulets of water dripping down her face that were to blame. She got up and retrieved her water bottle from under a nearby tree.

As far as anyone knew, Blake was out book hunting. And she would after this. So it wasn't a complete lie. She just didn't want anybody treating her like she was too fragile to train. She had been out of the hospital a week. Besides, it also gave her some alone time to focus her mind. Ever since she had got back she had these weird bouts of both wanting to be around people and then suddenly wanting the be far away from them

She gulped her water, a breeze lifting her dark hair. Then she stood and got ready to go at it again

b) Window Shopping for tatoos!

Blake stood with her face buried in a book - not a novel for once. An art book. It was any idea she had been toying with for a while. She got tired of flinching every time she saw that ugly brand on her arm. It wasn't just the memory. It was the idea that that demon had changed something, altered something on her own body without her permission. Every time she saw it her stomach twisted in anger. Not just because of what he did, but because she knew that her reaction was probably the exact reason he marked her.

She could probably find someone who knew how to get rid of it. But something about a tattoo just seemed...how could she explain it? Like another permanent mark, she supposed, but one she'd put there hereself. One that would symbolize that there was something better in the world than the horror she'd survived.

Maybe she's look at it , think it over. She had not even told Yang this yet.

Koishi seemed to vanish entirely for a moment before slowly fading in, hovering uncomfortably close. She was directly in Blake's line of sight, leaning in with her head tilted to one side. It was bizarre to think that she wasn't even using invisibility.

"Miss Shade. No no. You're really tense. Here." Slowly, Koishi reached out, though this time it wasn't to pet Blake's ears... well not really. A hand settled on her her head and a chilling peace slowly washed over her. The little youkai was absolutely doing something.

"I can help you relax but it wont last long. Maybe a few hours. But if it helps you focus then it might give you the understanding you need to work with your power better. Okay?"

She would proceed provided Blake didn't object too strongly or try to pull away.

It was clear very quickly just how powerful a psychic the little youkai was. Her power indiscriminately smoothed over joy, sorrow, fear... everything. It was absolutely strange, but not unpleasant, and it left Blake with merely the echos of her previous stress. Though Koishi couldn't really help it and leaned forward to touch Blake's ears again once she was done. "Soooft!" She really likes them, okay?

With another smile, Koishi drifted back, doing a little twirl, third eye swaying gently in the air with her movements. "Okay. I'm going to fade this time so you have a chance to focus on me before I vanish from your consciousness. And don't try so hard this time. I know you can do it if you just relax."

Even with her completely visible, copying Koishi was still a bit harder than duplicating someone else. And she would start to fade from Blake's perception once the faunus had created the duplicate.

Bit of a timeskip in here.

It would undoubtedly take more than just one day for Blake to completely nail the mentality that Koishi was referring to. But with the little youkai's help she was certainly heading in the right direction. With a good deal more practice and dedication creating clones of others would be as second nature as creating clones of herself. Who knows? Maybe she'd be able to make them move someday.

Also, at some point Koishi had loosely tied Blake's ribbon around her neck without her noticing, giving her a little bow-tie.

"You've nearly got it Miss Shade. You probably wont be able to copy me for awhile but keep working at it. Because if you can copy me then you can remember me and that would make me really happy too." She drifted closer, outline refining a little bit so that she was more visible. "Do you want to take a break? You look like your really tired. And if you're really tired then a break is just what you need. Or maybe a snack... Or both!"

"Nope!" Koishi was still smiling brightly, but the word had a bit of an edge to it. "You and me are gonna take a nice break. If that's your reasoning for not taking one, it just means you need one more." She drifted forward, taking Blake's hand. "You're like a bow. If you stay strung at all times you'll just break or wear yourself out. You need to take time to unwind so you can get the most benefit out of your training."

"This isn't a battle. So injuring yourself by working too hard isn't necessary. You don't have the adrenaline to ignore the pain like you would in a real fight."

The tugging would grow more insistent, the little youkai trying to pull her toward the city. "I know just the place to go, but it's really far. I could carry you if you like. You're really light and it would be no trouble to fly with you."

"You sure? It's pretty far and flying would be much faster." Then again Blake could probably run pretty fast. "We're going to the city's center. Near the Bay. They sell treats there and they're delicious. When I first arrived Miss White took me and bought me a treat and we've been best friends ever since!"

If Blake was familiar with Satsuki it was hard to imagine that she would have a 'best frind.' "I"m also the leader of her supernatural investigation team. I'm pretty good at it. And sometimes I follow Miss White around and whisper to her when suspicious people are nearby so she's never surprised."

They were starting to move faster now, Koishi tugging Blake along. They had quite a ways go, after all.
