Heh heh... I got it--finally. Dunno why I was having so much trouble with it before, 'cause it's just like breathing. Don't even gotta think about it--I just reach out and grab hold and...it's fucking there.

Hacked and private:

You remembered how to do it? Call up that power? Do you think you could show me? Maybe if I see it, I'll remember if I can do it myself...

I don't recall a purple-haired boy in any of my... military memories. Perhaps he was in a different organization than I was.

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

I can try... I mean, there ain't really much to show, if that makes any sense. You just kinda...uhh... open yourself to it, feel it, and then grab onto it. At least that's how it works for me. But yeah, we can give it a try, anyways.

Hn. Well, he was wearing the same kinda blue and white coat that all the others wore. That's all I know.

[holy_bitch]

In any case, I'd like to see you do it. Maybe... I'll feel something that will give me a clue. I don't even know how or if I did it myself the first time. Can I meet you outside?

I see. I wish I knew more... I wish either of us knew more.

If he was fighting against the organization I was in, what does that mean? Was he my enemy? ...no, surely not. We've had too strong of a connection for that to be true.

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

Yeah, sure--I'll be right out.

Yeah... you and me both.

Why do I get a feeling we should be careful what we wish for?

[holy_bitch]

*lalala outside now*

All right, whenever you're ready.

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

*is already waiting*

Okay... Dunno if I can really explain this... but maybe it'll help to just watch me do it. Or something.

*focuses a moment, more in order to figure out how to explain what he's doing to Ryuhou than to feel for his Alter; he can already feel that at the back of his mind*

Uhh... well... it's like some kinda energy field, or something. When I look for it, I can feel it all around us... *swings his arm out to one side, clenching his fist as his body begins to glow with Alter light* Then I can just sorta... grab onto it and pull it in...

*two shallow pits appear, one to each side of him and he grits his teeth as his arm splits and slowly begins to reform*

From what little I remember, I think I used to be a lot faster at this... But at least I can do it now.

[holy_bitch]

*watches intensely, his eyes widening as something within him seems to... resonate with the power Kazuma's accessing*

I... I can feel it! I think I... Kazuma, your arm! Doesn't that hurt?

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

*nods* Okay. Try...uhh... reaching out for it, now. See if you can pull some of it to you--that's the best I can explain it.

*snorts* Hell yeah, it hurts. First couple times I tried this after the memory came back, I couldn't even hold onto it.

[holy_bitch]

*watches the armor form over Kazuma's arm, frowning faintly* His scars... this is what caused them?

Reach out for it... *closes his eyes, trying to focus on the feeling he had when Kazuma first called up his Alter*

Reach for it... but I can't find it anymore. It was there, I know it was!

*brow furrowing, stretches out one hand a bit, then puts it to his head as he tries harder to reach mentally for... whatever it was*

I can do this... I know I can, I just have to try harder...

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

*watches him, frowning slightly when Ryuhou's Alter doesn't materialize*

What's wrong? Can't you get hold of it?

[holy_bitch]

I'm... trying! *clenches his teeth in frustration, losing focus* It was there, I could... I could feel it!

But I can't now...

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

You can't feel it anymore? Hn... *ponders that a moment* Okay, I got an idea.

*drops his Alter* I'm gonna Alter again, and as soon as you feel it, try and grab onto it--okay?

*waits a moment for him to get ready, then summons his Alter again* Okay, try it now.

[holy_bitch]

All right...

*beads of sweat gather and trickle down his face*

I'll do it this time...

*can feel the surge, the fleeting taste of the power he knows he can touch, but it slips through his mental grasp before he can grab hold of it*

Damnit!

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

Huh. *drops his own Alter again* Maybe you got to remember for yourself--I mean, it might not even work exactly the same for you.

*eyes him* Maybe you should give it a break for now, anyways. You look like your head's about to explode. We can always try again later, if you want.

[holy_bitch]

*shakes his head quickly* I can... if I can just...!

*frustrated, lets out his breath in a huff* Dammit, I could feel it! *sighs and rakes one hand through his hair, letting go of the strain... then suddenly, a greenish-rainbow glow outlines his body, and a piece of a nearby pole disappears and re-forms into a small crystal-like object, which falls to the ground with a clatter*

What was that?

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

You're probably trying too hard. Just relax a little and--WHOA! *blinks and ducks as... something happens*

*goes over to pick up the crystal, examines it and then hands it to Ryuhou with a faint grin* Well... looks like you got something, anyways.
