What You'll Find Here

Anacosta Heights
Dupont Circle
Hawethorn Village
River Dale

Anacosta Heights

Situated above the daily life of the city, Anacosta Heights is a tucked away suburb featuring extravagant neo-gothic inspired mansions. The inhabitants of this neighborhood often show their overwhelming wealth with sports cars lining their long, circular driveways, large pools, and manicured gardens. The homeowners of Anacosta Heights treasure their privacy as seen by the high iron gates to the security personnel present at every entrance.

Dupont Circle

Dupont Circle is a small suburban neighborhood settled within the serene portion of the southern portion of town. These four-bedroom, single-family homes feature back yards, porches, garages, and far more breathing space then the Village offers. This neighborhood often is more family orientated and even has organized events for children and the neighborhood as a whole.

Hawethorn Village

Settled in the middle of downtown, Hawthorn Village consists of several victorian inspired row houses just off the main street. Due to it's convenience to just about everything, the village can be a tad expensive to live within. However, the residents of this neighborhood often have two to three-story townhouses, often with a one to two-car garage. Many of the houses feature bay windows and/or rooftop terraces with a small fenced-in 'yard'.

River Dale

River Dale primarily consists of apartments that, despite their age and industrial appearing interior, still hold to the Victorian history that permeates the town. These apartments are often the cheapest option and sport scuffed, older wooden floors, open floor plans, visible beams, and the occasional brick wall.

"My, my, you are a surly little thing aren't you?"

The words are offered in much the same coolness as always, tainted in that same frosted tone that seems to offer some vague sense of his own amusement behind it as she declares that two wrongs hardly make a right and that he is no better then they had been. Perhaps such a statement would hold a deeper effect if the equine held any desire to deny the truth of it and yet even he had been....kinder then they ever had. For now however he simply brushes her comment aside in the same manner as her question in regards to whom was cheating- the man seeing no need to alert her to his extra talents in this moment as they move outside. Her mention of hypothermia causing an outward chuckle from the snowy-haired man.

"No baby, I wouldn't give you hypothermia. You could still recover from that and talk couldn't you?"

He offers no further words, the implication surely clear enough. She would say what he told her to say or he would assure she lost the ability to speak at all. The body, after all, was such a fickle thing in any form, the maintenance of homeostasis critical for the function of life- any disruption to that held devastating effects. More then a degree or so in the change of the temperature of the brain took mere seconds to bring a being to seizure, more heat than that and the brain tended to explode somewhat. Four, maybe five seconds was all he truly needed and yet it would be a shame to injury such a pretty little thing.

His criticism of her drawing is met with something almost akin to defiance as she seeks to defend her childish stick figure. She was already becoming bolder, even in her words, subtle as such a defiance might be as his lip quirks upward all the same. There truly was some spirit in the girl- he simply needed to encourage that without breaking her entirely. The completely broken ones were just as useless in the long run. Little more than a roll of his violet gaze is offered in regards to her demand he do better, the man seeing no need to engage her in such triviality as he continues to watch her beneath that unruly forelock of hair. That the very shape of the shield could simply be imagined was intriguing and yet useful in itself, such a thing would surely be key to the lesson he desires to teach today as he simply contemplates the answers she gives. Of all the things he may be, very few of them redeemable, he surely does not lack intelligence in the least.

"We will worry about the speed with which you can summon it later, that is irrelevant for now. I'm going to teach you how to use your own power to its full potential. You think of your power as only defensive and that is the problem. It is powerful at close range, as you say but you should hardly ever need to use it at significant distance. Your power is limited only by you and your....lack of imagination."

He gestures briefly once more to the rather sad little stick figure drawing surrounded in a bubble, as if she had attempted to play a game of Pictionary, youthful features frowning once more before he dismisses the thought, gesturing loosely for her to stand now.

"Pushing your shield away from you defeats the purpose only if your purpose is to defend from an oncoming attack. The best defence, as they say, is a good offense. What if your shield was used to prevent an attack before it happened, hmm?"

He simply leaves her to consider it a moment, aware the woman surely had little to no idea as to what he was hinting at before he spoke once more, arms folded now across as his toned, bare chest as he stood before her.

"Your shield is solid, like a wall, especially at close range- we know you can project it to a certain extent and that is all you need. What I am attempting to curve your mind towards is a Force Push, essentially. You should be able to propel your shield outward with enough force to collide with anyone in range, you should be capable of hitting me with enough force to knock me down, if not throw me backward entirely- by projecting your shield outward with force. You should be capable of keeping it almost skin tight against yourself, like a body suit of protection and in a situation in which you became surrounded, of propelling it outward the same way fire explodes from a bomb."

It would hardly be learned within a day, that much he understands, it would take both significant concentration and control of her ability to master it and yet it gave her an offensive for her otherwise defensive power.

"You never have tried that, have you? You could very easily strike first if you desired it, you could charge through people like a bulldozer if you desired really. You may not be a fan of my ideas Alexis- but they are better then anything you've come up with so far now aren't they?"
