Training Log 01: Shiny new powers

It's been a day- or something similar to it. After all, time seemed to be a weak thing here. But it's long enough that the pounding in his head from the attack under the Founation is... manageable. His ribs still ache, but he's not going to let that stop him- if Rei needed them to fight, then he would fight. Especially since he now remembered HOW to fight- a weak memory that came with a few other things. Like that fact that he might be royalty(?), but more useful was his skills with a weapon.

So he goes hunting for a big open area- and every other Executor he sees he mentions his intention: to train and test out these new powers. Eventually he finds what he's looking for: what probably was supposed to be a park, though it was slightly twisted like everything else here. But it was open enough that he probably wouldn't hit any non-combatants. A quick switch to his Executor uniform, massive black armor with a fur lined cloak, and he spins his bone spear like an expert.

How strange to have this knowledge but almost no context. Well, it is what it is. He wonders if any of the others will join him?

mementomoritz: try again? (test results are inconclusive)

[She's already in the process of pulling out a small knife and a little plastic baggie from the conbini.] Nope!

[She pauses.] That probably means you aren't fine, do you want me to fix that? Because I can fix that!
mementomoritz: MERCY YES (Default)

cw: cutting a very small amount of skin off

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-06 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! [She gently but firmly takes one of his hands, and uses the knife to remove a tiny bit of skin off of one of the more calloused parts, no bigger than the head of a pin, with surgical speed and precision.]

[Literally surgical, because guess who remembered being a fully-trained doctor despite the fact that no one in their right mind would have granted her a medical license? This girl.]


Which is very interesting, because according to my new memory, I was also a medical professional while I was alive! [She deftly deposits the sample in the plastic baggie and seals it, then channels her power through the hand holding Dimitri's.]

[As she does, not only does the tiny scrape she made heal and vanish completely, he'll find the concussion has completely cleared up, as have his bruised ribs. Sadly, she can't regenerate his eye- it doesn't seem to do anything for older wounds- but all his more recent little dents and damages will disappear, leaving behind a brief feeling of pleasant warmth, before she lets go and that dissipates as well.]


Correlation isn't causation, of course, so I'll need a lot more data before I can make any assumptions, but the potential connection there is very interesting! [Just continuing to chatter on like this isn't at all unusual...]
mementomoritz: good day (good friends)

cw: implied very minor self-harm for science

[Yesss, engagement in her wild scientific theories, her favorite thing. Well, one of her favorite things. It's definitely in the top ten.]

It might explain why we regained memories at the same time as we gained powers, too- if they're linked to our identities, they'd go hand in hand. [She casually stores the knife and the sample away in some of her various pockets, the other contents of which are probably best not examined.] But then there's the question of our limits. Are those linked, too?

I've definitely confirmed I can't heal myself, so there's at least some limit involved! [...that sure is a lot of band-aids on her hand, which Lion may have noticed. Those weren't there yesterday.]

[Like any good mad scientist, the first test subject is always herself.]


Or the weapons, do they have a symbolic meaning? I'm not good at symbolism...

mementomoritz: that someone is me (did somebody say science?)

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-06 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! [She peers very closely at the weapon, not seeming unsettled by it at all. Instead, she seems drawn to the "blade" portion, zeroing in on one thing:] Is it... bone? It looks almost like some extended metacarpals, or maybe something like the kind of phalanges you'd see in a cetacean fin, or- [Yeah she's just babbling excitedly a mile a minute now, there may be no stopping her.]

[The gist of it seems to be "I think your spear looks like somebody made it out of the hand parts of something and I think that's neat", though.]

The edges do look sharpened... is that enough on its' own, maybe? Or could it be part of your powers?

[They do have some pretty weird weapons here... her own including, judging by the fact that she's carrying around a massive pair of surgical scissors.]

Bone and stone... maybe it's fossilized?
