Marina's House ~ Morning
Marina Sea yawned , dragging herself into her kitchen to get some damn breakfast. Really though, she collapsed on the counter when she got there. The news from the other day was on her T, but completely muted. It had also been a little too much for her elven friend to comprehend, so she was getting to sleep as long as she wanted today.
"Blech, what a mess." Marina was mumbling to herself as she put some eggs into the skillet she had just pulled out. She was tired from staying up, and she was hungry from being glued to the TV. For fucks sake, summer had just started for them! Shouldn't she get... a break from all the stressing shit?
"Ugh... those poor people..." Marina flipped eggs in her skillet, trying to comprehend how they felt about the whole thing. It was hard to do so. Having your home just ripped out from under you-
*CRASH!*
"What." There was a loud, audible crash from Marina's backyard, and from the snoring upstairs, it hadn't affected Valyria's sleeping at all. Marina turned the stove top off, and thought calming thoughts as she calmly walked to her back door, and looked outside.
"........" There was a crater roughly twenty feet long in her backyard, and in the end of it... ".... I don't believe this." Marina opened the door, and walked into her back yard, standing over the four people in the hole. Two of them were unrecognizable, but the others...
"Ow, ow... ow.... Oh, hi there Marina, are you cooking eggs~?" A partially upside down Eleris spoke; and under was...
"El... I can't.... breathe." Miriam and Eleris were two people Marina knew from school, and though she didn't know what they were doing in a crater in her backyard, this was the sort of weirdness they tended to get themselves into... so, really, it wasn't surprising. But who were these two armored people?

Koletis was lying face down on the ground. He didnt want to get up. He really didnt want to. He was still sore from all the damage he took in Grand Divide.
But he was a Geistaussage, a being created to help preserve the safety of Kyril. He could at least act professional when with the Kyrillians.
The blue and purple Geistaussage grunted as he forced himself to get up. This was rather difficult since he was missing one of his four arms. He always did find it odd how most current races could get by with merely two.
"Well...at least you didnt get anyone killed with your flying. That's better than most newborn Geistaussages I suppose."

Marina's House Backyard
Sasha was on Koletis' back, so him getting up rolled her onto the ground. She sighed loudly and then rolled onto her back, looking up at the senior Geistuassage.
"Well that's great. Guess I'm starting to learn how to control my flying. Although my landing could use a lot of work."
Her glowing eyes spotted Marina and she waved enthusiastically at her schoolfriend. "Oh hey, Marina! Haha, sorry I trashed your backyard."

Backyard
"... Okay, what the hell- SASHA!? Yeesh, just what I needed... the trio of weirdness in my backyard." Marina stared at the other armored thing again, "What's up with the... rather swag lookin...g.... wait I recognize those skulls." Those were the skulls from Sasha's favorite t-shirt alright.
"The hell did you get the crazy looking armor from anyways? I mean..." Eleris got out of the pit, coughing, and helping Sasha and Miriam to their feet. Then Marina noticed that all of them were bruised, soot covered their clothes, and Eleris and Miriam were burned in a few placed, as well as having some cuts that didn't look like they came from any sort of fall.
".... Holy shit. Did you guys come in from GD?" Marina's expression was one of shock and disbelief, and Miriam just nodded. Poor girl was too timid to be in all of that, even Marina knew that. Marina had never gotten along incredibly well with the trio, but they weren't antagonistic to her, so... The ave rubbed her forehead, trying to think of what to do.
"A-Alright, you guys come inside for a bit and sit down, or... something." Miriam and Eleris looked at each other, then to Sasha, and shrugged; they were being invited in, so why not?

Marina's House Backyard
Sasha stood up, briefly wobbling since she was still getting used to being back on the ground. She then politely bowed towards Marina.
"Thanks a lot, Marina. Sorry for being such a bother."
She made her way inside the female ave's house, grabbing one of Koletis' arms and forcing him to come along.
"You're coming too. You're still messed up and there's more we gotta talk about."
Living Room
Sasha walked into the living room, impressed by the structuring of the house. It was obvious it was made for aves since all the rooms were above one another with no stairs, but either way it was quite beautiful.
The armored schoolgirl sat down in one of the large couches, leaning her head back into the soft cushioning. She smiled underneath her helmet, still surprised they all survived Grand Divide.

Koletis silently allowed Sasha to drag him inside. He took a seat next to her, massaging the forehead of his helmet. This was honestly quite a mess. In all actuality, he had given Sasha a piece of his Geist Crystal because he had felt a power within her. A strong desire to protect her friends as well as a strong will. But telling the Council he merely "sensed" something wasnt going to be enough. He needed to make this girl into a powerful Geistaussage so there could be actual proof she was a good choice.
"Ugh...what a damned mess."

Marina's House
Eleris sat down next to Sasha, and looked over her armor. With a cock of her head to the side, she asked a simple, and innocent question.
"Um, Sasha...... how do you take off the helmet? Or... the rest of it for that matter?" She seemed to be genuinely curious as to how it worked, and now that they were safe, it was as good a time as any for such questions. Meanwhile, Marina just sighed, turning the stove back on to continue cooking her breakfast.
"Well, since I was in the middle of cooking breakfast, anyone want some eggs, sausage, anything?" Immediately, Marina cringed, remembering how much Eleris ate at school.
"Sure, that would be fine, Marina~" Well at least she wasn't being specific. Marina smiled inwardly; her house was much cleaner now thanks to Valyria. She really did owe her something after all of this.
"I-I'll take whatever you can spare, Marina..." Miriam was always the sheepish one, and Marina didn't mind that in this case; cooking for a crowd wasn't something she was used to.
"So... can I get a little explanation here? Info, something? I mean, Grand Divide got screwed the other day, and I'm in the dark here aside from seeing alot of explosions on TV..." Miriam and Eleris looked at each other, then at Sasha and Koletis, then back at Marina. Would there be any harm in telling her what they saw first hand? Probably not. However, they weren't particularly good people to TELL her about it...

"Ah, yeah. Some food would be great. I'm absolutely starving..."
Sasha looked at Eleris, then turned to Koletis.
"Yeah, how do I take this armor off? I'm not stuck like this forever am I?!"

Koletis was brought out of his musing by Sasha's question. His eyes moved between the three women around him and he sighed as he stood up. The elder Geistaussage began walking around the living room, his upper arms folded while his only remaining lower arm moving as he spoke.
"Well, I suppose it's time I explain a bit... Sasha, you are now a Geistaussage. The first human Geistaussage I add. The Geistaussages are a group of beings from various races who were turned into their armored forms by a Geist Crystal, which is what I gave you earlier."
Koletis deliberately left out any indication that the Geistaussages had some connection to outer space. All the information he was spouting now was probably enough to make the trio's heads spin.
"Have you ever heard of Technoman? He's apparently a rather popular character in comic books. Has his own television show too. Point is, Technoman is actually based off a fellow Geistaussage named Enshou. You may have seen him flying around occasionally. Has bulkier armor than me? Black and white? Ring any bells?"

Miriam's eyes widened, and for the life of her, it might have been all the pink hair in her face, but Eleris could swear she was seeing large sparkles in the girl's eyes.
"Oh... my... gods... Technoman is one of- AAAAAAAAAAAH~!!!" Miriam squealed with utter and complete delight. Marina just rolled her eyes as she cooked; she didn't have time to deal with a crazy demon fangirl. Honestly, she would have never guessed; really she just figured that Miriam was too into Eleris to have time for anything else. Marina paused, putting some sausage into the skillet, moving the eggs to the side.
However, Eleris' one track mind quickly cut Koletis' explanation off, as she cocked her head all the way to the side, looking at the Geistaussage from around Sasha.
"But... how does that help her figure out how to take her armor off... and I guess, put it back on too. I dunno. It seems pretty useful."

Marina's House[/i] Living Room[/i] Koletis laughed heartily at Miriam's reaction. "Haha! We have a fan here! Excellent!" He was about to continue about the Geistaussages but was interrupted by Eleris. She seemed to not really care much about the race of armored beings themselves, but was instead concerned with her friend. The armored man understood this and nodded apologetically.
"Ah, yes. It seems I was straying a bit from the question. Terrible habit. Anyways, Geistaussages have the ability to generate and dissipate their armor by sheer force of will. Basically, if you mentally command the armor to go away, it shall. However..." Koletis moved towards Sasha, walking around her (as well as the whole couch) as he studied her.
"...until you get the hang of controlling your new powers and, therefore, your armor, you will have to get by with pressing your Geist Crystal."
The purple and blue armored man stopped circling Sasha once he reached the back of the couch for the third time.
"Ah, here we are."
Koletis reached forward and gently pulled the armored teen's glowing hair to the side, revealing a small violet gem embedded in the back of her neck. The gem was quite pretty and about the size of a quarter.
"Geist Crystals are the source of our transformations and power. They also act as emergency shut-offs if a Geistaussage loses control of their abilities. All you need to do is press the gem, making it pop up a few inches, then turn it clockwise. Think of it as opening a bottle of medicine."
Koletis held a finger up as he made his final point.
"One more thing! The Geist Crystal can only be touched by those the Geistaussage trusts or the Geistaussage itself since its linked to the host's brain, heart, and soul. Otherwise the person will be violently repelled. The method of this varies from one Geistaussage to another."
Koletis moved around the couch once again, this time stopping in front of Sasha and Eleris. His eyes narrowed and his voice became deathly serious.
"Your crystal can also be destroyed if hit hard enough. It being destroyed while not active will cut you off from your transformation but is relatively harmless. If it's destroyed while active...not many have survived the shock. Those who have were never the same."
His tone suddenly returned to its normal cheerful sound.
"Okay! So who wants to return Sasha here back to normal?"

Casually, as Koletis spoke, Eleris reached for the back of Sasha's neck, and as he instructed, pressed the crystal down so it popped out slightly, and then turned it. She had no idea exactly what to expect for the "armor undressing" process, but then again, she'd find out soon enough.
"Welp, here gooooes nothing~"

It felt very...odd. The Geist Crystal was embedded into the back of her neck and it simply had an unfamiliar feeling as Eleris turned it. She felt it pop out of her flesh...armor...whatever it was now.
Suddenly, her body lit up like a fireworks display. Sasha glowed a bright purple as black energy swirled around her, throwing around papers, thin books, and other light objects in the room. Her armor became loose and sank back into her body, going through her flesh like it was water. It wasn't the least bit painful. She actually felt warm during the transformation. That is, until it was complete.
Sasha felt a cold draft and she looked down at her body. She was definitely back to normal. She was also completely and utterly naked. Her beautiful tan body was completely and utterly exposed. It took a moment for her body to process this and she shrieked in embarrassment, quickly moving her long hair over her pelvis and wrapping her arms around her chest.
"WHAT THE HELL?! I DIDN'T KNOW I'D BE COMPLETELY NAKED!!!!!"

Living Room
"You're welcome~" Eleris seemed either overly cheerful that Sasha was out of her armor, or she didn't care that she was naked at all. Either way, she let out a playful whistle, a stupid looking grin slowly spreading across her face. She couldn't miss the opportunity to tease her, could she? However....
"U-U-Uh... oh wow." Miriam squeaked slightly, her bat-wing like ears standing straight up, and flapping rapidly, as a thin stream of blood leaked out of her nostrils, "I-I-I... oh crap oh crap oh crap!" Both of her hands jumped up to her face, covering her nose, and her face turned a shade of red that Eleris was pretty sure was impossible. Meanwhile, a sly smile etched its way onto Marina's face.
"Oh my... well, I have spare clothes upstairs, but you might have to use the ladders to get up there." Every single syllable made it sound like Marina was enjoying the situation immensely.
"U-U-Up the ladder!?" Miriam speaked between her hands.
"Miri, getting a little too excited over this, aren't you?~" Eleris just crossed her arms, grinning broadly. What an... interesting new day this was turning out to be.

Marina's House ~ Living Room
Koletis blinked a few times as he looked around at everyone. He shrugged and said: "I thought it was obvious she'd be naked. The armor takes its design from whatever the host was wearing during their first transformation. So...yeah. Plus, we all saw her clothes tear apart when she changed. Not like you have magical clothes, right Sasha?"
He then awkwardly cleared his throat. This poor girl obviously wasn't enjoying being naked around her friends and, most of all, a complete stranger in weird armor. He wasn't entirely sure how she'd react to this...but he figured he had to try.
"I can...fly you upstairs. Better than having to use a ladder and exposing yourself even more, right?"
