[Mayoi isn't a very deep sleeper. Too bad for her, she ends up waking from that loud sound as the only resident in House 29. A couple minutes after the zap she gets herself dressed and walks out of the house, still half asleep.
...............there is a person on the ground.
........Right. This is Luceti. Completely normal.
She slowly walks off her porch and towards the person on the ground. Not even noticing the flickers of power in her tired state.]
[ Well, if she gets close enough to tough him she better notice it pretty fast. Joshua gives a soft groan, more power flickering across his skin, but he doesn't move. He hasn't realized that there's someone else there yet. ]
[She looks down, still not really registering those flickers.]
Hey. Hey are you okay? [...Well that's kinda dumb he's on the ground.] Um...should I go get a healer or something. Ah I don't know what I'm supposed to do...
[Sonny was a little farther away, n]but not too far to see and hear the miraculous light and sound that accompanied it. Walking briskly, Sonny found herself at the site where Joshua was.]
Ohmygosh! Josh! Are you okay?
[She almost grabs him by the shoulders, but she's stopped when she sees a small current of electricity zap over his skin.]
I can't control it. [ Which is actually a lie, as it seems to be responding to his attempts to move anything lower than his neck. But that might as well be truth, at this point. ]
[ Conscious enough is about the only qualification he has for lashing out. Well, that and having power in the first place, but he isn't exactly in control of it. It's a few moments before he notices Sanae is even there. When he does, the crackling across his skin picks up quite a bit for a few seconds, then dies off again. He doesn't move at all, aside from a cringe that's only visible in his face. His expression isn't even a glare, just watching.
A small voice in the back of his head whispers Maybe they'll take away my Ascension if I die and he pushes it away. He doesn't want to find out, doesn't want to risk dying here, what it might do, what Sanae might do with it. But he's not sure whether he's too exhausted to glare, or if he really just doesn't feel like it. ]
[ Joshua has no idea what Sanae was waiting for. There were too many possibilities, good, bad, neutral; and the longer he waited the more worried he was becoming even if he wasn't admitting it. Energy still crackles around him as he tries to move. He can't, and it's frustrating. He hates being unable to do anything.
Part of him is terrified that he's so helpless now.
His heart leaps when Sanae takes the first step forward, a sharp snap as one particular wisp of power hits the ground and disperses. But he can't move.
The verbal reminder that he failed a second time just makes him press his lips together in frustration. Until Sanae actually comes into contact with him, there's nothing Joshua can do to retaliate against what he might have planned. ]

Just fine.
[ But if that weren't the most obvious lie he's ever told. ]

Never better.
[ Except for the part where his power's going haywire, he's got a headache like there's no tomorrow, and he can't seem to move. ]

Seriously, why are you... electric?
