[A few days ago in the mail, Horohoro received... an old friend! Immediately, small glistens of tears sprung to his eyes and he attempted to give her a big hug!

Yeah... that didn't work out so well, since she immediately froze him solid and floated off in a huff to go on an icey rampage. You may have slipped on ice on the sidewalk lately? That was

[Lucas is having similar problems. Except with meteor-shaped PSI raining down on him from the sky. Perhaps he and Horohoro cross paths while they are running in opposite directions.]

[stay_cool_bro]

[Now here's the real question: ARE THEY PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION NOT TO SMASH INTO EACH OTHER?]

[a_gentle_boy]

[Of course they are. What a silly question. Lucas waves hi at Horohoro as he races -- Oh wait never mind crashing into each other is pretty much mandatory for video game and anime heroes.]

Smaaaaaaaash!

Ouuuuch. Ah -- I'm sorry! Are you alright?!

Boom!

[stay_cool_bro]

G-gaaaahh.... I think -

[stay_cool_bro]

[dat boom]

What the heck?! That wasn't ice!!

SHATTER!!

[...that was]

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . AAAH! A-And that wasn't PSI!

[A meteor blast whizzes over their heads and smashes close by to Kororo.]

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to start running again.

[stay_cool_bro]

You got it! [HOROHORO IS NOW RUNNING. Kororo was actually a bit distracted by the meteor though and is looking about angrily to find out where it came from]

[a_gentle_boy]

O-Oh, wait!

[Lucas scrambles to his feet and chases after Horohoro. In between breaths, he manages a sentence.]

I-Isn't that your pet fairy, by the way?

[stay_cool_bro]

Partner spirit!

[he breathes, letting Lucas fall into step with him while staying quick on his feet - they're building some distance from Kororo since she was distracted.]

But yeah, it's Kororo - I don't know what got into her!

[a_gentle_boy]

Probably the same thing that happened to my PSI . . . Meteors try to kill me for a half hour whenever I cast anything.

D-Do you think we should do something? Instead of just running.

[Luckily, Lucas went through that whole Adventure deal and he's not too shabby with the Agility stat, either. He's been running most of the day, though, and he's getting pretty tired.]

[stay_cool_bro]

Well, I guess there's hiding... I tried reasoning with her, she just keeps attacking.

At least you can avoid casting stuff, right?

[a_gentle_boy]

That's right. I should be OK in another ten minutes or so . . . I thought it was just PSI Shield, but Lifeup and Healing make the same thing happen.

Maybe you could trap her somewhere that she wouldn't be able to get out of?

[stay_cool_bro]

You got a lot of stuff back, huh?

[is of course dodging and running at the same time...]

Maybe... I dunno if it'd work without the ability to control spirits though... I can see Kororo but I can't really do anything else!

[a_gentle_boy]

Uh-huh. They're my most basic PSI . . . But it's good to have some of it back. I hope they start to work right once everything works out.

D-Does she . . . have a favorite food or anything? Maybe -- Maybe you could bribe her . . .

[Lucas is now definitely starting to pant harder and slow down.]

[stay_cool_bro]

Hey, yeah, offerings! Maybe that could work...

[He's had some breaks in running, since Kororo has been kind of easily distracted in her rage, so he's not QUITE as bad off]

... you okay, Lucas?

[a_gentle_boy]

I'm, um. . . . I'm fine. Just keep going . . . She's still . . . Pretty close.
