a_gentle_boy: (Fight)
[personal profile] a_gentle_boy
[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.))

Aaron? . . .

[For being the cause of this, it takes Lucas a few more seconds to figure out what's wrong. Erk . . . He'll try to take Aaron's hand and squeeze it to see if there's any response.]

[[Nope, staring up at the sky.

Though when his hand is pulled from the crutch, the crutch falls away and Aaron begins tipping towards Lucas. Stiff as a board.]]

[Lucas leaps forward in a rush to try and catch the older (heavier) boy, and finds himself falling backwards himself.]

A-Aaron . . . !

[Well this was awkward. Half-pinned, Lucas tries to position Aaron to fall gently so he doesn't hurt his leg anymore. ... And now he is fully pinned.]

[[Aaron just lays there, not budging. He's probably aware of all of this but is unable to help the poor kid pinned beneath him.]]

that icon is perfect

[After a bit, Lucas squirms out enough that he won't suffocate against Aaron's chest. Then he places a hand on Aaron's back and pats him a bit. Well. This was his fault, so he probably ought to fix it.

He's less careful with his PSI now and just releases as much healing energy as he can.]

It's my favorite "uuhhhh" icon I know.

[[It takes a moment, but when Aaron does snap out of it, he panics!]]

What was... I.. what!?

[[Rolls quickly over onto his back. Taking deep breathes. Being trapped in your body like that is terrifying.]]

[Lucas rolls over a little as well, keeping a hand pressed against Aaron as he concentrates. It is a few moments before he stops himself.]

. . . Are you OK?

Date: 2011-03-06 04:45 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
Yeah... uh... I think.

Just, what was that? What happened? I couldn't even call for help.

T-That was . . . me. I'm so sorry, Aaron. I didn't mean to -- I can't believe I did something so stupid . . .

From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
Holy crap...

[[Okay, let his heart stop racing before he thinks of what to say here.]]

Was... was something wrong?

From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
Nothing. I just -- I was practicing fighting. And PSI can be used for more than healing. It was . . . a reflex.

Oh... okay...

Wow...

Am I going to be okay?

[[Yeah, first thought since he has no clue.]]

From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
Y-Yes, definitely! I can't do anything I can't fix, and it would have worn off by itself in a little while, too.

Is there anything I can do to make it up to you . . . ?

Date: 2011-03-06 09:34 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
Oh, that's good.

Umm... sure.... remember I am always on your side?

It's a joke... not a good one I guess.

Date: 2011-03-06 09:51 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
No, really. I can't apologize enough.

Date: 2011-03-06 09:55 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
I'm fine, it was scary but I'm fine.

Just... wow.

Thanks. So long as it wasn't on purpose I really can't be mad, I probably shouldn't always stare at flashing lights.

I learned pretty quick that was a bad idea, too. I'm not the only one who can do that . . .

You're not? Really?

Are any of those people dangerous?

. . . Monsters. Chimeras. . . . A few other humans.
