Thirty Second PSI
[action 1]
[Inspired by Japan, Crowe, and remembering the words of others who had spoken to him recently, Lucas, too, has decided that it is time he reclaim some of his lost battle skills. Once strong enough to stand to all but the deadliest of chimeras, the boy hasn't fought now in over a year . . .
Still, he can manage a sandbag propped up on a broomstick. The problem had been to get the stick not to snap immediately with a single hit, but he had managed by tying several together. Being shier in nature, Lucas is holed up in his backyard and practicing hard. It is possible, though, to hear his occasional shouts or grunts or even the thump of his bat smashing against the bag. Those who investigate will find that the boy has little technique whatsoever . . . He simply hits as quickly and powerfully as he can. But he moves with an awkward fluidity, and it appears he normally fights with chained attacks - 'comboing' hits with kicks, punches, and blows as he ducks and weaves and almost occasionally seems to glide through the air.]
[action 2]
[The accident happens about an hour in. Caught up in the fervor of combat, Lucas smashes the sandbag hard enough that it flies straight up into the air. And instinctively, with some sort of retained muscle memory, he thrusts out a hand and cries out.]
PK Flash!
[And immediately regrets it. The pulsing ball of green light gathers for a few moments before barreling outward to smash into the sandbag, catching it up and propelling it high into the air. Reaching about thirty feet in altitude, the PSI energy eventually flares outward in a massive burst of green light clearly visible from a distance. The sandbag explodes.
Lucas drops his bat and runs to his front yard. If you're anywhere nearby, he'll be running up to you with an expression of severe panic.]
. . . Are you alright?! Are you feeling OK?! You . . . Please say you didn't see the light!
((Lucas's PK Flash has odd effects. It's a burst of psychokinetic energy infused light that alters the brainwaves of those who see it. To be brief, PK Flash causes spontaneous crying to the point where your character is blinded by their own tears, paralysis, which is self-explanatory, feeling strange, which can be interpreted as violent hallucinations and delirium, or instant death. Or nothing, of course. Please don't choose the death option, aha.))

[Confused. Just agitated in general.]

You're . . . just drunk, then? Do you want to sit down somewhere?

[Lucas tries to peer up into the Captain's face, wondering whether or not he ought to try to help. He'd been doling out PSI all afternoon; trying to cure drunkenness was as good a cause as any.]

Seriously kid, be glad Dirk Anger doesn't have everything he had back home. It was a ☠☠☠☠ nightmare. Ever see dinosaurs with eye beams?
no subject
[Yes (http://earthbound.wikia.com/wiki/Mecha-Drago).]
Is this person you're talking about here in the town?
no subject
[This coming from The Captain.]
We fought all sorts of ☠☠☠☠ that he and Beyond strung together. But we won, I don't care what he says. We were ☠☠☠☠ heroes.

[Yeah he cares. He's angry.]

Yeah, you're right. I shouldn't let that ☠☠☠☠ get to me. I guess I'm just mad that he somehow survived everything.

I mean he ended up here like me and got a free second chance.

Yeah, pretty much. He bit it a while before I did.

Then . . . thank you.
[This is probably an odd reaction.]

[Just glad Lucas didn't ask why.]
