☈ 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... )

[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!] onebluebamf July 13 2011, 22:38:43 UTC

How will we know that?

[She's not going to keep hitting him until it breaks, is she?]

[Action!] thestormishere July 13 2011, 22:46:30 UTC

It will go away after a minute or two. Until then, it should be partially visible.

[ Hitting it doesn't-- or shouldn't have any effect on whether it sticks around, so... no, she has no plans there! Pretty boring, actually. ]

[Action!] onebluebamf July 14 2011, 00:00:23 UTC

Right... well, give it your best shot?

[He'll just stand by and hope he survives.]

[Action!] thestormishere July 15 2011, 17:35:28 UTC

[ You asked for it, kid. Considering it's so new to her and unlike everything else she knows, though, it's a little more difficult than she'd like- she takes a deep breath, focusing, but then when she "throws" it the first time-- it clearly doesn't work at all. ]

Tch.

[ But at least the immediately-following second attempt is better- a half-sphere of greenish hexagons that jumps into existence and then fades to translucent...

... And hurrah it stays up, too! Lightning lets out a sigh, a bit relieved. Now, just to wait for it to fall. ]

[Action!] onebluebamf July 16 2011, 00:35:06 UTC

[He just tries to get a good look at this weird energy around him. So weird...]

So... what does this do?

[Action!] thestormishere July 16 2011, 20:14:22 UTC

Reduces the impact of physical attacks.

[ To demonstrate, she steps forward, putting her hand through it so that it lights up just slightly in response. When done slowly it seems there's only slight resistance, but then she pulls back and smacks through it with her palm flat- not far enough to hit Kurt or for him to feel anything, but hopefully enough to show what she means.

Yet she looks a touch thoughtful too afterward, as she realizes she's really going to find someone who's alright with actually taking a hit to get a better idea on any difference between home and Luceti. Spoilers: probably Zack. ]

[Action!] onebluebamf July 16 2011, 20:29:03 UTC

[He flinches instinctively when he thinks she's going to hit him because SERIOUSLY that would make the most sense. He can't really tell it's working aside from all the glowing. For all he knows it could be an illusion of it working.]

Neat power, I guess. Definitely flashy.

[Action!] thestormishere July 17 2011, 18:25:09 UTC

You have no idea.

[ Seriously, when you're facing down a freaking behemoth with a goddamn chainsaw sword, every little bit helps towards the maintaining the status of not dying horribly. 8| ]

Thanks... by the way. [ Her eyes are still on the barrier, though, continuing to count out the seconds even as she speaks. ] I'm Lightning.

[Action!] onebluebamf July 17 2011, 18:27:57 UTC

[Lightning, huh? Must be her codename. Not bad, but not very creative either. Her power is flashy, but not exactly electric. Oh well.]

Ahh, don't mention it. I'm Nightcrawler. [... since we're using code names.]

[Action!] thestormishere July 17 2011, 19:14:20 UTC

[ All she's shown is a weak-powered Sparkstrike and a Protect spell... of course he'd think that without seeing something like... Thundaga! >:T

But no, it's not that creative. She was fifteen when she changed it to that, give 'er a break.

And. That's a pretty funky name of his own, there. Considering he doesn't really look particularly human in the first place, though... at this point Lightning will swallow a lot of things. Too much trouble to object otherwise, so these days she's just been sticking to keeping it all mental.

She remains silent after that. Waiting. ]

[Action!] onebluebamf July 18 2011, 12:29:17 UTC

[Kurt was sixteen when he got his code name. What a coincidence!

Anyway, umm, this is awkward.]

So... can't you take it off now? [She's a grown woman. He can only hope she has that much control over her powers.]

[Action!] thestormishere July 19 2011, 18:55:41 UTC

I want to know how long it stays up by itself.

[ She told you that already, Crawlerboy, and she sounds just a touch annoyed at repeating herself. She could use Dispel on it, yeah, but ironically, doing so actually costs her more magic than she'd ever use putting any one buff in place over and over and over. ]

[Action!] onebluebamf July 19 2011, 21:40:45 UTC

[How long...? You mean this could go on for awhile?]

Exactly how long do you think it will stay up? [Cuz even a few minutes is gonna be hard, even with how great of a conversationalist Lightning is.]

[Action!] thestormishere July 22 2011, 16:23:39 UTC

[ A quiet sigh- what is with kids these days and their impatience? Lightning you are only 21 shut up. ]

Just a... [ Ah, but there it goes, and her brows come together for a moment as she watches it flicker and fade out. Either she miscalculated, or it really does last for a shorter span of time on others... ] Hm.

[Action!] onebluebamf July 23 2011, 02:20:35 UTC

Ahhh so... not long at all.

[She must be pretty new at her powers then. It's okay, he won't hold it against her.]
