Carla laughed at this, and gave a really large grin.
"Oh boy, science really isn't your strong point, is it, Darkoraboy?" She chuckled, pushing her hair back with a casual sigh. "Can't say I blame you. Probably 'cause you were born way back in the 16th Century or whenever. Back when everybody thought the world was flat and lightbulbs hadn't been invented. Bless." Being patronising was certainly one of Carla's strong points.
"Metal conducts electricity. That means it draws my lightning into it. I couldn't miss your metal guns if I wanted to. If I blasted you now, all I'd end up doing is frying your hips and melting your guns into slag. THEN I'd have to aim for your head." She gave a bright smile. "And I don't have to draw anything to fire my lightning, so yes, I am quicker than you. And no, I wouldn't worry about me frying your hips. Somehow, I doubt there's anything valuable between your legs."
She smirked. War of words. Sure beat war of bullets. She was confident she could dispose of Austin's guns, but after that, her life would get a lot harder.
A lot harder.
"And y'know, Miss Whoeveryouarescaredycat, my boss is trying to end the world right now. So, the longer we have our nice little chat, the better."
Admitting that she was slowing them down by talk was risky, but she enjoyed being as irritating as possible. The angrier they were, the more likely they'd make a mistake.
And that was good for her.

"I have a name, you know." Said Damaris through gritted teeth. "Of course, I doubt you'd care if I told you it." She sensed Austin's concern as she fought against her anger. Its ok she thought, hoping Austin would pick it up. I'm not going to turn. I just haven't been this pissed off in a while. Biting her lip,she told herself Getting angry is exactly what she wants you to do. Calm down. The calmer you are, the worse it is for her.

Austin nodded subtly to Damaris, before he turned his attention back to to Carla "You know, you talk far too much, anyone would have thought Rino ordered you to distract me, I think it's time actions spoke louder than words" before she could respond he did a forward roll, ending up slightly behind her and aiming a low sweep at ankle level

Carla let out a blast of electricity at Austin as he rolled, and as she predicted, bits of it arced directly towards his guns, drawn by the metal. However, Austin was too fast, and the majority of the blast sailed directly past him and was safely absorbed by the far wall of the building.
Unfortunately, the blasts drawn to Austin would do little more than jolt him slightly, and did nothing to stop his swipe at her feet.
She crashed to the floor and found herself staring at Austin, upside down, stood over her.
She smiled, and let out her fullest blast of electricity at him. Hopefully more than enough to send him flying away from her, and landing on the other side of the foyer.
She didn't have time to survey her handywork, however, as she flung herself back to her feet as quickly as she could, and took a heavy breath, her hair lined down the front of her face.
"Oh, I can really say I do care what your name is..." She panted to the strange woman. "That is, if you're interested in working for us. We're the winning team after all. Not too late to ditch this loser and work for us. Then I'd care."
Despite Carla's ragged breathing and appearance, and the fact that crashing to the floor had hurt her a little, she was still clearly coiled and ready for action, one hand held out at where Austin had been launched, and one pointed at Damaris. She was ready for either of them to attack and send blasts of lightning at them, but it was becoming clear she'd be made short work of in a fist fight.

Why is it taking Austin so long to respond? Azrael thought. Perhaps he was caught up with something.
I guess I should proceed then...
Azrael opened the door to the large room before Ara met up with him, and greeted the guards... In which there were only three of. Perhaps they had taken them all out as they ran to the bottom floors to deal with the circle.
"We've got the situation under control," Azrael said to them. "We're to hold out here and stop anyone from coming into this room and moving to the next floor. There's only one other guard on this floor, and she's female, so whatever happens, don't shoot her!" Azrael hoped that he sounded convincing, but the guards were too prepared and ready to face the circle to notice if Azrael was one of them or not, and just nodded.

"I see." Damaris considered for a moment. "I won't bother telling you my name then." She looked over to where Austin had been launched, but couldn't see him past Carla. You want me to take care of her? She thought, raising her falchion and preparing to strike.

((godding much Carla?))
((and Azrael: What part of 'Will the circle members please stop posting so i can finish the damaris angle' did you fail to comprehend?))

((If you feel that way, I'll edit my post. All she did was blast you, her powers knock you back. Since you took her out and swept her legs away, I wrote it so you were close.
I then didn't write where you landed, saying she didn't see it, so you could decide whether Austin was sent flying, or whether he landed on his feet, etc., to intentionally avoid godding.
On top of that, I wrote that your attack had had a clear impact upon Carla, and left her ragged and hurt, to further make it clear she merely blasted you clear, not escaped the impact.
Anyway, that's what I intended. You feel I was god modding still, I'll edit.)).

((mehh, okay, don't worry about it, i'll just go with it))
Austin was hit full force by the electrical blast and sent flying backwards, landing on his back in some debris before doing a backwards roll to his feet and dusting himself off "that's a nice party trick, though i can see why Kunoichi kicked your ass" he grinned, before starting to walk towards her

Carla gave Austin an angry glare, clearly not happy with the particular memory he had just reminded her of.
"That was because your little ninja friend was fast like a freak!" She snapped angrily, her fists clenching. "I'm kinda placing my bets on you not being quite so fast."
Lightning crackled up again, and began to wrap itself aroud her arm.
"In other words, dodge this!" She sent another blast of lightning out, directly for Austin, before spinning around and sending out a blast at Damaris.
Of course, the disadvantage of this was that she had to take her eyes off of Austin, and just hope she hit, because if she didn't...
...she was completely open.

Damaris watched in horror as a bolt of lighting snaked its way down Carla's arm and went flying towards Austin. Guessing what was about to happen, she crouched, and, as Carla spun around and fired another bolt, leapt out of the way, narrowly missing the bolt.
As she landed, Damaris glanced towards Austin. However, before she could catch sight of him, a blinding pain shot up her leg, causing her to fall to one knee.
"Aaaah! Shit, that hurt!"
She let her falchion drop from her hand as she clutched at her wounded leg.

Austin darted to the side of the lightning before running at Carla and jumping at the last second for a flying kick "Like that you mean?"

"Yeah, that'll do it." Carla deadpanned, before getting hit perfectly in the stomach by Austin, who wasn't exactly kicking lightly, and being sent flying across the foyer, and smashing into a support beam in the glass on the far wall, before dropping to the floor.
She let out an angry groan, and failed miserably to stand up.
"Goddammit! Are those rubber soles!?" She cursed. "I don't dress like this so I look like a skanky ho, you know!? Idea is, if someone kicks me in the stomach," She gestured to her exposed middriff, "They get fried! But nooo, everybody has to wear rubber soles so it never works, don't they!?" She was hoping her ranting was buying her some time, because right now, she didn't feel like she could fight.
She climbed to her feet, and leant heavily on a nearby counter, holding herself up, panting hard and clearly in a lot of pain.
"Why can't you people use big metal swords!? I like those people! I can just fry them!" Carla sulked, before sending out angry lashes of electricity. They weren't thick or powerful, but instead in a wide arc, designed to keep the two from advancing on her injured self the best she could.
She could barely still support herself as it was.

"Really? But the skanky ho look suits you so much..." retorted Damaris, still clutching her wounded leg. "And by the way, this thing by here," she said, pointing at the fallen falchion, "is pretty damn big and metal. Suprised you missed it." She rolled sideways to avoid a stray lightning bolt, leaving her falchion lying in the middle of the floor. Rubber soles... damn, I don't have those. I can't touch her.

"Yes, they are rubber soles, which I'm betting will earth me from your electricity" he grinned, stepping towards Carla "any answer for that electrostatic lady?"
