[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.))

[Lucas catches him before he falls and strains a little not to let him drop.]

C-Can you hear me? Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes. [Said to both boys holding him.]

Who are you two?

. . . My name is Lucas. Um. The other one is . . . Claus?

[He hadn't meant to say that but he goes with it. The hallucinations sometimes got worse when they weren't acknowledged.]

I'm going to try to help. What kinds of things are you seeing?

Date: 2011-03-05 11:12 pm (UTC)
doudemoe: (whatever)
From: [personal profile] doudemoe
Um...lots of things?

[Like two boys talking at once, and a large black-and-white ant, and tiny UFOs flying around.]

That's not too specific . . . Well. You can see me OK, so it probably isn't too bad. Do you want to try to wait it out or will you be OK with me using more PSI on you?

...What's PSI?

[He didn't even see where the bright flash came from.]

It's . . . psychic power, I guess. I can heal what I did, but it would mean going into your mind a little.

[...He just shrugs. Lucas, you're talking to someone who, when asked to sign a contract, does it without asking questions.]

Alright.

OK, then.

. . . Try to ignore anything you might see in the next minute or so.

[The glow that begins to spiral around Lucas collects in his palms before he reaches around to place a hand softly over Minato's forehead. The PSI begins to seep in . . . He frowns in concentration as he increases the strength of his Healing to beta level, accompanied by a corresponding increase in the intensity of the glow.

Minato may or may not improve. Minato may or may not suffer worse hallucinations momentarily as he improves. Minato may or may not suddenly think Lucas is a pink elephant. However, according to the laws of Lucas's power, normally, he would improve.]

doudemoe: (um...)

[Suddenly, everyone is a pink elephant. Only for a few seconds. Minato's back to normal, but he turns his head a few times, confused as to how he suddenly got across the street.]

[Lucas misconstrues this as continuing to hallucinate and leans forward anxiously.]

Are you feeling any better? Um, um. How many fingers am I holding up?

[Five.]

Five.

. . . And they look like fingers, right? Not flowers or dancing pigs or anything?

From: [personal profile] doudemoe
Of course.

. . . Great! I'm gonna say you're all cured, then.
