Therapeutic violence [Action, WTR classrooms]

[haha_steelguard]

[A grinning Snow is casually pummeling a training dummy in the classrooms. Whatever oddity of time compression has stripped off his brand and replaced it with some other power, he doesn't know, but after some of the earlier adventures he's endured through its questionable charity, he intends to just ride this out

Whoa!

You all right? [He's all but racing over to check on her.] I didn't -- when did you even get here?

[haha_steelguard]

No, that was my fault. Should've been paying more attention to what I was doing. I'm sorry.

[Yukio's just passing by in the halls when he hears a rather loud crash, so he hurries over to the classroom and looks in. Nothing looks terribly out of order--aside from one dummy that's all the way on the other side of the room.

He turns to look at the lone individual in the room.]

Is everything okay, instructor?

[haha_steelguard]

Pretty good. Time Compression's decided to make life interesting for me, that's all.

[He heads over to pick up the dummy.]

[spareglasses]

You too?

[He steps inside.]

May I ask what sort of skills you've been given?

[After all, the guy doesn't exactly look like he needs any additional help in the "I can punch things really hard" department.]

[haha_steelguard]

I can weigh more. Or less. A lot more in either direction...

[He becomes, abruptly, tenuous and transparent, demonstrating just how less he can weight by putting his arm directly through the training dummy without effort or apparent impact.]

[paradisiacally]

You'll have to pay for that, you know.

[Poof. Where did Ashe come from? She's.. still getting used to her power, Astral projection. ... Okay, really, there's no getting used to it.

Ashe is slightly transparent at first, and floating in the air, but when she lands, her body is perfectly solid once more.]

[haha_steelguard]

I wondered if anyone else was having this sort of thing happen. Yours didn't look quite like mine does, though.

[He moves over to pick up the dummy, looking it over.]

This thing's fine. I've given it worse. Kinda not at my full strength right now.

[paradisiacally]

It would seem the entirety of the Garden is experiencing peculiar changes.

[Ashe sighs.] I, however, am not to pleased with it. It's nearly impossible to control, and I cannot access any of the powers I had before.

Hard to believe you can get more powerful than that.

[haha_steelguard]

I'm sure there's some way to control it. You just gotta figure out how. I suppose I'm lucky, this is the third bizarre new power I've had to learn in my life.

[He chuckles a little, sardonic. Lucky, huh?]

[bahamutgal]

[Fang luckily dodges the dummy with her mad ninja skillz. She scoffs and shakes her head.]

Hittin' it a little hard there, aren't you?

[haha_steelguard]

Not on purpose. This whole change of pace takes some getting used to! I've only had to learn to use new fancy powers once before, after all.

[bahamutgal]

At least you've had practice, unlike some of those other folks. [Pats his arm] Don't let it get to your head. I can see you makin' everything go flying just outta excitement.

[haha_steelguard]

[That's a bit unusually kind for Fang... which leads the wheels in his head to start spinning.]

You picked up some weird power too, huh?
