ell. That was certainly quick. It hadn't even been a full minute before Serafina found herself watching as a second person just..sort of appeared. The air around where they had popped into reality had sort of shimmered for a moment before dropping them off. She didn't say anything, just yet. She'd needed a minute or two to adjust to suddenly being displaced halfway across the country. At least, if they were in the city she thought they were in. However, that didn't mean she would remain silent when the other woman--who introduced herself as Rowan--finally spoke up to her. Yeah, it's definitely looking like it. I didn't see any stairs or locked doors up here. So the only way down is, well. Down." She said, affirming Rowan's suspicions as she looked over to the edge. If they were getting a third person, they needed to hurry up and appear. Still, she wouldn't be so rude as to not introduce herself when a name was offered up like that. "Nice to meet you. I'm Serafina. Shorten it however you like, but do shorten it. Not even the cops can call me by my full name." She said as she raised her arms over her head.

It was certainly interesting listening to her. She looked like someone you'd find chilling by some chunky car at a middle-of-nowhere gas station before everything changed. And yet? That accent was all too easy to place. She was definitely from the states. One of the southern ones, to be specific. However, the pair wouldn't be left to pleasantries for very long. The telltale pinging noise of a filled party filled their ears as the telltale shimmer of air began to appear near the back of the building's rooftop. And..well. Hoh boy. To call her 'big' was an understatement. She stood well over the both of them.

Sera could feel her cheeks flush as she watched the new arrival jump right into exercises. Well. She was clearly a very..cut figure, to say the least. Sure, Serafina was no slouch when it came to physical fitness. She needed to be able to withstand potentially pushing a dead car for miles on end, after all. However, it seemed that their final arrival was definitely far more of a high energy sort. That brought an earnest smile to Serafina's face as well, especially when she was asked what kind of choices she got. Good, that meant they were jumping right into things. If these two had gotten to talking, she was sure she'd probably have just tried to up and go on her own. She didn't like where they were at by any means, after all.

"Well, there were some interesting names on my little scorecard. I'll take the liberty of assumin' that Sky Devil is what the one you picked is called. Goin' with that, I suppose that means I could be called the Twilight Rider. And supposin' that the little menus that popped up weren't lying, I should be able to do.." She said, taking a moment to picture a method of transportation in her head. Truth be told, she had assumed the first thing that was going to pop into her mind was her trusty van. The thing she'd spent much of her adult life travelling and sleeping in. Yet, that wasn't the case. As she reached out to her side, her hand wound up curling around the handlebar of a low riding motorcycle, colored in the warm hues of twilight.

So, not her car. Disappointing, in a way. But, it was still fine by her. A massive grin began to spread across her face as she mounted the bike. It felt every bit as real as anything around her, in spite of the fact that she had willed it to appear, the appearance itself being heralded by the silhouette of the vehicle shaping out of pure twilight before it had shattered away to reveal the vehicle underneath when her hand touched it. Still, she had to be sure. Without saying another word, Serafina kicked down..and felt that grin turn from modest, to full blown manic as she not only heard, but felt that engine kick to life.

"Oh fuck yes." She purred as she looked back over to the new arrival. "This. Supposedly I can make a road appear anywhere I wanna ride, too. S'one hell of a gift. What about you, Rowan?" She asked, glancing over her shoulder at the previous arrival. The other blonde hadn't explained what kind of ability the title 'Sky Devil' gave her. But it was probably safe to assume that it was meant to give some degree of aerial superiority. That meant that two of them had the mobility they needed. But what about the third? She could give one extra person a ride if she absolutely needed to...but would someone without the same level of mobility really be thrown into a challenge that was seemingly so stacked against them by default? They wouldn't be, right?

Certainly some interesting things the others said, so it would seem that both of these two got classes as well. Did everyone have a class now? Isha properly stopped for a moment and took a real look around, only just now realising that this was actually Earth in some capacity, this wasn't some weird location. Was she sure this was a dream? She cocked her hip out and put a hand on it, mulling over the options. Did it really matter in the end? She flicked her long blonde hair over her shoulder before looking back at the other two with a bright grin. Her grin only grew wider as one of her new companions summoned a motorcycle from seemingly nowhere. Throwing her free arm out she gave Serafina a big thumbs up.[break][break]
"Very nice! I think I heard a little while I was loading in, Sera and Rowan right?" She looked back over the edge of the building, leaning forwards a bit too far as though she was entirely ready to launch herself straight off the edge and to be fair, she was but she didn't want to leave these two in the dust. She leaned back and looked over to Rowan. Being honest, Isha had no idea what 'Esse' meant but she knew what a shepherd was. "Your class sounds good, better keep us going when we start kicking ass yeah? I wonder if you need to summon little animals to help us out... Or am I thinking too much about the Shepherd and not the uh... First part..." She gave a shrug and rolled her shoulders.[break][break]
"As for me, I'm all about bringing the hurt from above! Got me some air steps, got me some fancy dropkicks and a couple other fun tricks!" She flexed a bit at that, she was her own hypeman after all. However now it was time to get down to business. "Okay so we've got to hop from building to building to get to the end aaaand we're fighting monsters as we go, that sounds pretty fun if I'm being honest." She then spun on her heel and moved over to Rowan, giving them a wolfish grin. "So you could ride on the motorbike with Sera, that's probably a safe option or..." She leaned in a bit closer, a bit of a mischievious gleam in her eyes. "...You could live on the dangerous side and hop up onto my back and I'll carry you to the next building. Trust me, it'll be great fun! I've got just the thing in mind for how to get there!" She declared with great conviction before moving up to the edge of the building and crouching down.[break][break]
From her position it was easy to climb up onto her back if Rowan wanted but Isha was also leaning forwards, easily keeping her balance on the edge of the sloped building. Compared to flying off the top rope this was a piece of cake. If Rowan decided that she wanted to go on the motorbike instead well that just meant Isha was in the perfect position to follow behind them, so it was a win-win for her really.

erafina didn't have the luxury of just leaping off of the building like Isha had. She had to scan the ledge first. Yup, right there. A break in the concrete 'rail' that had boxed them in. Keeping herself still long enough for Rowan to not only join her, but get a good grip on the bike as well as her. Once she had verbal confirmation that Rowan was ready, Serafina lifted one foot as the bike began to roll forward, the purr of the idling engine giving way to that feeling of acceleration. There was no road at first. Instead, the pair picked up speed and ran through that break, becoming airborne for a few seconds that would quickly come to feel like an eternity.

Then, with just a bit of focus and some envisioning, something began to spring to life right as they hit the mark of five feet before they would collide with the building itself. The road that had been created would be considered rather concerning if one looked down at it. It wasn't very thick. In all reality, it should have shattered when they collided with it. Even more concerning was the fact that you could see through it almost clearly. You had to squint to really make things out through the translucence, but you could. If you could manage to look at a light source that was glowing the same golden yellow as the midday sun. Alright. So this worked. It felt absolutely goddamn insane that they were somehow managing to somewhat defy physics right now, but it was happening. Glancing around, Serafina could see that they had about ten feet of wiggle room on either side. Good, that meant that this thing could maneuver. From what she had managed to digest of her new abilities, this vehicle was capable of hurting things. It was almost ironic that they gave the weapon of Vehicular Manslaughter to someone who had always been all too careful to not let anything happen to their vehicles.

Of course, almost as if it was on cue, things began to spawn in. Several dark distortions in the air formed about thirty feet down from them. They would be driving and/or gliding right into it all. Serafina counted no less than four monsters. One too many for each of them to be able to focus on just one. But what were they about to be facing? After a moment the distortions faded, leaving a human sized crow behind. Crows that seemed all too ready to attack.

"GET READY!" Serafina called out as each monster took notice. The four human sized birds took off, each flying in a different direction. One had flown directly at Isha, another directly at Serafina. However, the last two flew off in curves. One was going upwards, and began to dive right at Rowan, while the other tried to catch Isha off guard by circling around to her left side to get off a cheap swipe at her. Serafina gritted her teeth. She would have to time this correctly. Closer..closer. It was right as Serafina hit the ten foot mark--otherwise known as the midpoint--of her road that she tried it. This thing had moved according to her will so far. The option she had for combat was a bit on the reckless side, but if this thing really was just an extension of her will, this was going to work. And after a momentary groan from the bike itself as Serafina gave a quick warning of "Hold on tight!" before leaning in. Normally, there wasn't a chance in hell this would work. The weight of a bike was too unevenly distributed.

And yet, almost like she was riding a bicycle, the 'trick' was seamless. The back end of the motorcycle came rocketing out, the back wheel colliding with the first crow, knocking it off course as Serafina followed through with the tailspin, doing her best to straighten out the vehicle as it did a complete three hundred and sixty degree turn. They'd needed to come to a full stop, but they were already heading off again. Whatever happened with the extra Crow that was hounding them, it would be up to Rowan to handle as best they could. As for Isha? Well, given how she'd just talked about herself, Serafina was sure she'd be having a ball. She couldn't focus on that. She needed to be ready to pop in another section of road..

f there was any situation that could be called a bad one from Serafina's perspective, it would be the one she had found herself in now. She'd managed to knock the first monster away, cracking its neck thanks to the high speed rotation of her bike's back wheel. However, if she'd been expecting Rowan to fire off at one of the other monsters, she was about to be very disappointed. As the crow from above continued to dive, the voice that had announced the matchmaking spoke up once again.

"System Recalibrating. Stand by for Party Composition changes."

Before Serafina could even question what that meant, she felt the weight of Rowan just outright vanish from the back of her motorcycle. Fuck. And now she saw that there were two of these damn things appearing. Serafina scowled. Well, she supposed now was as good a time as any. Raising one hand, she focused. Two things happened. First, the path of her road that she had sailed past shifted ever so slightly. It was already dissipating, but she still had time. The crow that dove at her from above would find itself crashing headfirst into an identical copy of the motorcycle that Serafina was riding. A motorcycle that was currently in the process of ravaging the Dire Crow's body via a surprisingly fast backflip.

The two hits were enough to kill the one that had dove from above. But that didn't stop the one that was charging her now. Gripping the handles of her motorcycle with a newfound intensity Serafina pulled back with all of her might, raising her front wheel..and slamming the whole front end of the vehicle down onto the spinning crow mere moments before it would have collided with her. It tumbled past each of her wheels, body having already gone limp as the second bike slowed down, riding just behind Serafina now as the previous stretch of road fell apart. However, something interesting had happened. The two kills had been rather quick behind each other, and something pinged in her head. A level up. Two of them.

As her eyes scanned across the horizon, something became apparent to her. She wasn't going to be able to make the leap to the next building if her road kept going straight down. Thankfully, this was a realization she'd had almost instinctively. Shortly after the crows failed their assault, Serafina felt the stability of a road disappear out from underneath the wheels of her vehicle. This was going to be a difficult landing. She couldn't land in the water, but she would have to hope she could also time it well enough that she touched the top of the building instead of missing the top and landing in some of the more shallowly flooded areas. Either option was a fail..and she didn't want to think about what would happen if she failed.

Christ, she hoped this was going to work. The building got larger and larger as she continued to fall. They'd dealt with the first round of monsters. But would it matter if Isha became the only one able to continue the 'tutorial' they'd been thrown into?
