☈ 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

[See Kurt, see Kurt at the console, inputting commands for a scenario. He's going for something a little tougher than usual. Hmmm... maybe one of those worlds with monsters, like Terra showed him.]

[Action!] thestormishere July 9 2011, 02:12:56 UTC

[ And here's a Lightning, just kind of... staring at this weird-looking blue guy at the controls, a vague, thoughtful sort of frown on her face. How does people do politeness? ]

[Action!] onebluebamf July 9 2011, 02:29:43 UTC

[He soon becomes aware someone else is there and glances over his shoulder.]

Ahh... just a second. I'm almost done!

[Action!] thestormishere July 9 2011, 02:51:40 UTC

-- Can I ask you something?

[ The question's out before she has a chance to think twice about it- a lot more impulsive than how she usually is, even if it's in the same low, even voice she typically uses.

Just because she's determined to reach out for once doesn't mean she's gonna to be able to do it in a manner that's not really awkward, though. ]

[Action!] onebluebamf July 9 2011, 02:53:30 UTC

[... oh wait she wants something? Maybe advice on how to use it. Okay... just need to act cool. He turns around and does a hair toss, smiling, and just being dazzling.]

Definitely! Ask away.

[Action!] thestormishere July 9 2011, 02:58:21 UTC

[ ... She's about the opposite from being dazzled. Her expression doesn't even change at all. ]

Are you familiar with using any sort of magic?

[Action!] onebluebamf July 9 2011, 02:59:43 UTC

[... well okay that's unexpected. He blinks.]

Um, ah, not really? Why?

[Action!] thestormishere July 9 2011, 04:15:52 UTC

[ .... Damn. If a fuzzy blue kid isn't someone who's going to know some magic, then who is? She gives a quiet sigh, but... well, maybe that's for the best. She can see if it's possible for this new magic to work on magic-less folk too. ]

You think you could help me with something anyway?

[Action!] onebluebamf July 9 2011, 04:19:35 UTC

[You know if this wasn't a hot chick asking him all this, he might be more concerned.]

I guess. What is it?

[Action!] thestormishere July 9 2011, 22:19:52 UTC

[ It's not a trap! She takes in a deep breath, resting a hand on her hip. ]

I'm trying to learn a kind of magic that's supposed to help people fight. I'd like to know if it's possible to use it on people who aren't from a world similar to mine.

[ That's kind of the short version, of course, but honest all the same! Also, she just... hides the part where admitting that in any sort of context continues to bother her a little. ]

[Action!] onebluebamf July 11 2011, 13:38:20 UTC

So... basically you want to shoot magic stuff at me, yeah?

[... well that's one way to get a first date. But he hasn't turned her down yet.]

[Action!] thestormishere July 11 2011, 21:15:03 UTC

... Not exactly.

[ Well. Sort of. She frowns, then looks down at her hands, lifting them palm-up, trying to figure out how to offer an explanation. Maybe an actual demonstration, then? ]

Like this.

[ And then a moment later, her right hand suddenly bursts into flames-- or what kind of looks like flames. It's actually purple-tinged 'electricity,' crackling its way up from shortly below her wrist to the tips of her fingers.

... It's also technically something pretty different than what she was just talking about, but ssshhh. It's easier for her to do, and hopefully it resembles it enough to not matter. ]

[Action!] onebluebamf July 12 2011, 17:46:25 UTC

... that ahhh, looks exactly like the kind of thing I don't want on me. [Frankly it looks like it would be painful.]

[Action!] thestormishere July 12 2011, 18:19:26 UTC

I know. But. It doesn't hurt.

[ Lightning you are terrible at this. 8| As the Sparkstrike magic fades away though, it's at least obvious that neither her skin nor fingerless gloves have met any sort of bad end...? ]

It doesn't have to be that, either. [ Maybe offering to set people on fire and stuff isn't a good idea? ] Would... you be okay with just a shield, then?

[Action!] onebluebamf July 12 2011, 23:54:08 UTC

[Well duh. Most mutants are immune to their own powers. Otherwise they'd be pretty screwed.]

Okay, just... make it a little shield, yeah?

[Action!] thestormishere July 13 2011, 21:30:40 UTC

[ Wow, does she look mutated? Don't answer that. ]

Sure. [ Actually, there really isn't any variation in size or strength that's under conscious control, but... whatever. ] What I want to know is just how long it stays up. That's all.
