[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.))

[Eventually, Lucas will sit down beside her awkwardly. And after a few more moments, try to pat her gently on the back.]

[She freezes the moment he touches her and doesn't look at him. However she speaks in a quiet...ragged voice.]

What....was....that...

[Lucas's voice is quiet as well.]

Hallucinations.

I can't apologize enough.

You did that...

Not specifically. Whatever you saw . . . I didn't put it there. But it was the PSI.

What is that.

[She sounds less scared and more angry.]

It . . . causes your brain to stop working right. For some people, that means hallucinating.

It was an accident. I forgot I had that ability at all . . .

I haven't used it since I got it back a few months ago.

Yes.

[He isn't sure why she's asking the same thing over and over . . . ]

[Because she's trying to understand how the hell you forget something like that.

She just gets up.]

Will you be alright? Do you need anything? Please let me know how I can make it up to you . . .

[Looking at you. On one hand she's still freaked out and her normal reaction would be to lash out at you. On the other hand, she's slowly been trying to control her emotions more. And ...revenge is against the rules. It doesn't matter what happens to her, she has to remember that.]

No. I don't.

[Just turning.]
