[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.))

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?

From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
. . . Monsters. Chimeras. . . . A few other humans.

What? Oh. Oh, no! This is back in my world. Sorry, I thought you were asking . . .

. . . Anyway, they shouldn't still be in my world, either.

That's good... very glad to hear.

Eheh.

Here, let me help you up.

[Lucas will get to his feet now and try to assist Aaron.]

How's your leg doing, by the way?

[[He'll take the help, getting his crutches so he can hold his balance.]]

Thanks.

It's doing pretty good. I am going to force the drones at the hospital to take the cast off soon and check.

I am pretty sure I'll be better long before they said I would be thanks to you.

I'm glad I could help.

. . . I probably set you back a few weeks with what happened today, though.

If it's only a few weeks then I'm still better off.

Since I sort of did this to myself to begin with I can't be too angry.

I climbed the tree in the first place, it's kind of my own fault I'm in this condition.

[[Meaning the broken leg.]]

From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
Don't say that. Maybe you caused it, but I don't think it's your fault . . .

Why were you climbing a tree in the first place?

Date: 2011-03-08 03:53 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
I... got spooked. Thought climbing a tree was the safest bet.

It was kind of dumb.

Date: 2011-03-08 03:54 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com
Then it was the fault of whatever scared you, wasn't it?

From: [identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com
It wasn't on purpose...

[[It was...]]

And it wasn't really all that scary, I just over reacted.

[[Yes it was and no he didn't.]]

Though, I didn't really think about that until after I fell out of the tree.

[[He jumped out of the tree.]]

Someone scared you up a tree accidentally? . . . I guess I'm a little curious what happened now.

[[Aaron only lies because he feels bad blaming a kid for this sort of thing.]]

They weren't doing anything bad, they were just glowing and I thought I saw a ghost.

[[Which then chased him up a tree and went up after him...]]
