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.))

[2: tears]

[Franziska von Karma is on her knees, screaming in German at the top of her lungs in between sobs.]

[And he rushes up as quickly as he can, feeling yet another pang of guilt. He can't decide if this one is hallucinating or crying or both . . . ]

Miss! Miss, please calm down! Can you hear me?

[Her screaming turns to English at least with a few variations of the word "fool" thrown in his general direction.]

[Lucas can barely understand her screaming, nonetheless, and eventually makes his way to kneel down beside her.]

Please, try to calm down! My name is Lucas . . . I'm going to try to help.

I want to know why I cannot stop crying! I am acting like a child and not the prosecutor that I am!

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-03-06 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not your fault! It's mine . . . I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to do that.

Y-you are the reason I am crying? Then make it stop!

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-03-07 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to . . . ! Just keep calm for a moment!

[And he reaches out to her face as quickly as he can to use his healing abilities before she can scream any more.]

[Instinctively, she brings her hands up to try to push his away.]

You are not permitted to touch me!

[What an odd phrasing. Lucas jerks back a little.]

I can't help you otherwise . . .
