☈ strike #14 (action / voice)

Jul 06, 2011 11:14

[ After the whole fiasco with having to take down Jack Horner's dragon form, Lightning's been thinking a lot lately-- namely, about her own trouble with maintaining a human form and fallout from failing against her will several months ago- both things which, frankly, she's been trying to avoid ( Read more... )

secretly distressed girl, @hope estheim, further than ever before, @zack fair, insert role reversal jokes here, doin flips n shit, promote synergy like a boss, @smoker, come be my guinea pigs ok, y so talented, @suki, !luceti, let's fight you punks... or not, harder than it looks, @aerith, what's with these feelings?, @kurt, in the aftermath, !ic, look it's magic or something

What's going on, Light?

[filtered] thestormishere July 6 2011, 19:32:37 UTC

Hope- [ Er, this is sort of a tricky topic, considering the state of his Brand in comparison to hers, but... ah well, she's just going to go ahead and say it and see how he reacts. ] I think I've learned how to do 'Protect' spells.

[filtered] contempsi July 7 2011, 01:22:48 UTC

What?

[That's unexpected. Hope pauses for a moment.]

...how did that happen?

[filtered] thestormishere July 7 2011, 01:50:17 UTC

[ Her tone is notably more thoughtful and/or uncertain than usual- not just because of what thinking about it means for her (and him), but because she really isn't sure how to explain it either... ]

I don't know. I haven't learned anything new for a while... until I started focusing on totally different things instead.

[ Translation?: "I maxed out my first three roles, but have still gained enough CP to fly through learning another as soon as I started paying attention again." ]

[filtered] contempsi July 7 2011, 15:36:29 UTC

I wonder if I can learn new things too. [Lightning's been here a lot longer than he has, but... it still has been a while. Several months, even.]

Can you do anything else?

[filtered] thestormishere July 8 2011, 00:27:54 UTC

Who knows. [ She probably won't condone it unless necessary, though, considering they're still not sure what might have a hand in making a Brand advance... ]

... It's hard to tell on my own. Charging up weapons with magic, strengthening spells, maybe...

[filtered] contempsi July 9 2011, 00:12:57 UTC

[TOO LATE, the idea's already in his head, though he'll give that a pass for now at the very least.]

Um... want to test it out?

[filtered] thestormishere July 9 2011, 01:57:08 UTC

[ A little more relieved than she'd probably like to let on!: ]

If you want. [ And then some light exasperation too: ] You're the expert, after all.

[filtered] contempsi July 9 2011, 02:06:55 UTC

Okay. Where should we do this?

[filtered] thestormishere July 9 2011, 02:44:32 UTC

... Feel like taking a walk?

[ The battle dome might be the obvious choice, but she's been inside quite a bit lately, so... it's hot but maybe some fresh air would be nice anyway? ]

[filtered] contempsi July 9 2011, 22:07:39 UTC

Yeah, that sounds great. [He'll already be shuffling about to put his shoes on. Shoes that are teeth-mark free, natch.]

I'll meet you outside the house?

[filtered] > [action!] thestormishere July 10 2011, 23:09:17 UTC

[ HER LITTLE BOY IS GROWING UP AND LEARNING. :'D ]

Right.

[ With that, she'll just be out near the path and waiting for him, idly messing with her fingernails and... wondering if this is even a good idea-- not her learning more things, but with him. She's... not the one in danger any more, after all. ]

contempsi July 11 2011, 02:43:04 UTC

[Next'll be that growth spurt...

And Lightning'll soon hear the clomp of sneakers bounding down the porch steps and scuffling out onto the dirt as the boy's light jog carries him over to her.]

Okay. I'm ready.

thestormishere July 11 2011, 16:41:29 UTC

[ He'll have to pick up some new bondage pants...

Lightning's head is stuffed full of thoughts, but it's no problem to summon up a small smile for the teen as he approaches. She promptly turns in place to indicate the direction she has in mind-- and holds out a bag for him to carry at the same time.

Guess what she meant by 'walk?' You didn't have anything planned for the rest of the day, did you? ]

contempsi July 11 2011, 17:04:59 UTC

...huh? [Hope takes the bag from her with a bit of a perplexed expression.]

Um... so what are we doing with this? [But he obediently falls into step beside her, shuffling a little.]

thestormishere July 11 2011, 22:01:41 UTC

Just in case we're out long enough to miss dinner.

[ This is not that weird to her at all - JUST LIKE OLD TIMES, HUH? Only... a lot more prepared, actually. He's welcome to go through the bag though- it's mostly water and BUG SPRAY and fruit and whatever else he happens to like because she's sure to know. And a flashlight. And a knife, though not the knife, obviously.

... Don't ask how she managed to produce that without seeming to go back to the house, though. Just... don't. ]
