Wudang Jia "Yes, sure, fine." The 235th Heir of the Wudang School uses her quick and practiced hand motions to accomplish the most important task in front of her. http://wudanggirl.tumblr.com/ Hitting POST she finally looks up. "Investigate how, Minami?" she asks. "We're locked in here and unless you have the 36 instruments of truth-gathering stuffed down your pants I don't see how we're going to get anyone to admit they violated the secrecy of this place! If this was Wudang we'd take a staff to thei-" She looks around. "But this is not Wudang!" K Prime posted:

Jia "After dinner I aaaaa...." Jia thinks for a moment. "I went to train with my dad. Just, y'know, the usual. Then I texted Feixue about how cool her music is- she never responds to me for some reason- and then I did my usual exercises and went to bed."

Jia Jia giggles merrily at Laura's misadventure. "Really? You should have just let me go, watch..." With a deep breath, she leaps out the window, running briefly in midair with no sign of gravity mattering as she slowly drops to the ground. "Nothing unsafe about it at all. Just someone doesn't know- oop." She clams up. "Anyway, next time try asking."

Jia "So we solve a crime by committing it? Yet somehow nobody here can understand action-without-action. Aiya." Jia blows a strand of hair out of her face. "I do not think so. We should investigate the entrance instead of using it. Perhaps we can find some evidence? That is how things work here right? Back home, we generally use trial by combat but I do not think anybody would be happy with me if I suggested that."

Jia Jia breathes out briefly in place of swearing as she spots Azumi. Then she quietly starts darting from shadow to shadow around the edges of the room, trying to flank the straight-woman sukeban. She's an obvious threat. Threats to the Wudang are dealt with. Words are just so much air; what matters is action. She lurks in a shadow, ready to move. If words fail, there's always the fist...

Jia Jia bites her lip. On the one hand, opening random shrine cabinets at home never did anything except spray old dust everywhere if it was some stupid god no one liked. On the other hand, this is a forbidden shrine cabinet, which makes it different. The dust could be really old and awful, and that would be terrible. So she does the sensible thing and stands off to the side and nudges it open with the tip of her foot, looking away as to not inhale terrible dust that is probably, like, as old as her dad.

Jia Jia frowns. "Someone's been touching this. That's not just forbidden, that's rude and unhygenic." She reads the characters. "Shenshashen. Sounds familiar to me, but I can't place it." She closes the cabinet with care, and takes a little bow. "Sorry, Shenshashen." Then she turns back to the others. "I want to ask my dad about this. He's weird but he knows all about obscure shrine gods. Maybe he can tell us why someone would poke poor Shenshashen."

Jia Jia tucks her phone away, snags the only obvious bag in the room, and grabs Madoka's chair by the handles. "Anyway must be going goodbye Fred." This is not technically a legal application of the Rapid Movement Sutra, but Jia thinks Daddy would understand. There's nothing left behind except a faint woosh of air. "Sorry Madoka, but I think we both wanted out, yes?" Half of Jia's locker has been filled with a shrine to a man the others don't recognize, probably - Wudang Chun, the 1st Master of Wudang. The other half is full of random pictures of pop musicians, including at least one shot of Feixue on the grounds of the school itself. Finally, there is a book labeled PLEASE OPEN ME, Jia apparently having gone for the Reverse Psychology Method of diary concealment. K Prime fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Jan 20, 2014 |

Jia (X)()() Jia rolls her neck around in a manner that would be more menacing if she were not a 16 year old girl. Still pretty menacing though. "Super Wudang Style Strike! If you don't want to get hurt-" She leaps into the air, directly at Kaiya. As Kaiya flinches back Jia's toe connects directly with the vicious burn on her arm. Everything pauses, for a moment, as Jia hovers in midair directly in front of Kaiya. She leans forward, bringing them almost face to face. "-then drop the mic!" The moment unpauses. Jia rebounds back like she weighs a fraction of what she does, then clings to the ceiling. Kaiya probably starts to swear.

Jia (X)(X)() FP:2 Jia sees an opening from her elevated position. "WUDANG STYLE! SUNBIRD SWOOPS ON PREY!" She rockets from the ceiling at a speed which is simultaneously apparently very fast and oddly slow and graceful. Pinned against the wall, the tsuki-tsuke-stupid desk thing has no chance to dodge. Her toe reaches out again, plunging deep into the crack in the desk and splitting it into two neat halves, which twitch for a second and then fall still. Jia stands posed, en pointe, in the wreckage. She rotates her hands in a circular motion. "Wudang Style: Without Peer!" Then she giggles and hops, on a single foot, for a moment. "Oh man was that cool!"

Jia decides standing around isn't such a bright idea anymore, and begins to dash rapidly around the classroom, hopefully moving too fast to be caught by a stupid desk. She promptly trips over a different, non-animated desk. "Wurgh!" Krysmbot KZA, -+-/+3 = 2 defense: Invoking its consequence to avoid damage, but that's a tie so it gets a boost.

"Your lies... perhaps they were told to you by others, but it is not the blight that has given you these powers. Your ancestors are the biggest... biggest STUPID MONSTERS the world has ever seen! Slayers of women and children! Thieves and traitors! They punched a baby once!" She turns her back on Konami, fist clenching. "That baby was Fu Wudang, master of Wudang and MY GREAT...

"This is... this is similar to the demon-fighting gear Wudang Monastery keeps sealed in the cellar and they think I don't know about. Except stupid and islandy."

"Madoka, you are heir to the greatest calling of any lifetime: that of a hero. I, Wudang Jia, Heir to Wudang and the Secret Arts of the Chambers, will do anything in my power to see you through to your destiny." She grins. "I know some wonderful martial styles that don't require use of your legs, too." The effect of the oath is ruined as she immediately goes for her phone.
