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.))

-Quicksilver happens to be an exceptionally well trained horse. Plus she can feel Lucas's intent pretty well. Lowering one fore-foot, then another, she gently lowered so that Virginia could be eased off of the saddle.-

[Hopefully, being able to communicate with animals facilitated things as well. And Lucas will pat her gently in thanks before reaching up to help Virginia off.]

Are you able to move, Miss Virginia?

Nnn... Hi, Lucas -She gives a weak smile, but isn't able to move much. Or at all, it seems.-

[The diagnosis is pretty clear. He sets her down on the ground as gently as he can and shakes his head a few times.]

I'm so sorry . . . I promise you'll be OK in a little bit.

[And he sets to work, immediately beginning a flow of PSI healing.]

-She felt... warm. She managed a better smile to Lucas. She wasn't even aware what was happening, but she somehow knew that she'd be fine.-

[And Lucas keeps it up. The degree to which his PSI worked varied from person to person, but he was fairly confident that, at the very least, he could relieve her symptoms until the effect naturally wore off on its own. After a bit, he'll pause.]

How are you feeling?

((Effects are up to you!))

I'm feelin'... -Rather than finish her sentence, she just makes wavey motions with her hands.-

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-03-08 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Kinda hazy still? I wish there was somewhere to put you that wasn't so hard . . .

More used to grass... idn't that right, Quicksilver?

-If horses could laugh.-

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-03-09 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I guess if you're OK with it, then I have to be. . . . Oh! Thank you, Quicksilver. You did really well.

[He hesitates a little at that.]

I'll explain more clearly once you're feeling better. But . . . it was my fault. I'm sorry.

[identity profile] rapier-ex.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... Well that's okay...

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
It's not. I think I've hurt a lot of people.

[identity profile] rapier-ex.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
But you'd... never do it on purpose.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but . . . that doesn't mean it's any less wrong.

[identity profile] rapier-ex.livejournal.com 2011-03-11 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm gonna... be okay, though. So don't you... worry.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-03-11 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't push yourself too hard . . . The healing should kick in stronger soon.

-Virginia nodded, laying back and letting out a long sigh. Quicksilver's tail swished anxiously, worried for her rider.-
