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?

[Ariel wastes no time in trying out her new powers, of course. She's taking to all this with quite a bit of gusto, looking bright and cheerful as she arrives.

And while yesterday she was sporting a school uniform, today she's already in her Executor form, as she makes her way to the training area. Well. Runs. Or perhaps dashes would be a better term? She's somewhat of a blue and white blur almost. Not that she's particularly faster than any other Executor, but enthusiasm counts for a lot.

She twirls around with her cape a little, before summoning a sword. Giving it a few swings, just to test out the weight.]


Hmmm, I like how this feels! I wonder if I've done any fighting before?
mementomoritz: good day (good friends)

[Medic dutifully claps at the display of sword skills, because she's pretty sure that's how being supportive of your teammates works.]

Maybe you were on a fencing team at school?
seasharp: (jupiter the bringer of jollity)

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-13 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You think maybe that's it? Hm, I don't know.

[Well, that's sort of the problem, isn't it?]

Is fencing sort of like this...?

[Just, does a few more swings.]
mementomoritz: that someone is me (did somebody say science?)

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-13 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cheerfully:] I have no idea! [If she's ever done fencing in her life, she certainly doesn't remember it.]

I didn't end up with a sword, so you'll probably end up knowing more about it than me. [That explains the pair of giant surgical scissors resting across her lap, at least. How do you even fight with those?]
seasharp: (jeu de cartes)

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-13 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I see...

[...Wait, does she have scissors?]

C-Can you even fight with those...?
mementomoritz: yes??? (what if science?)

[personal profile] mementomoritz 2020-08-14 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Good question! [Well, that's not reassuring.] It's going to be interesting finding out the answer.

[She smiles mischievously.] Want to spar with me so I can test them?
schardynfreude: (Default)

[personal profile] schardynfreude 2020-08-06 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's entirely possible. Perhaps these...more powerful forms of ours are in some ways connected to our lives in ways we do not yet remember. Else why such specific looks? Why our particular weapons or skills?
seasharp: (am meer)

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-13 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh...

[She pauses, looking slightly thoughtful of that. Doing a little twirl, as she looks at her outfit and cape.]

I guess, maybe? Well, I guess these are, sort of... [She reaches over to her hair, to touch her pin.] I was looking myself over a little earlier, and I think this is meant to be a fortissimo. Like music, you know?
schardynfreude: (Default)

[personal profile] schardynfreude 2020-08-13 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps you were a musician. Or at least had a fondness for music. Kingslayer, naturally, was a knight of some great renown. Medic...well, given her title of a name and the way she speaks, she clearly would have been a medic of some sort, or at the very least some form of scientist. And so on.

It might not be the case, but I like to think there is some reason we are as we are.
seasharp: (jeu de cartes)

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-16 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
A musician... Maybe. I did remember... well, not really a memory, I guess? But I know a lot about music, now! Classical music and stuff, you know.

What about you?
schardynfreude: (save yourself from fading away now)

[personal profile] schardynfreude 2020-08-16 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...nothing useful to our situation, I'm afraid, but...

[He trails off, looking away, but smiles very fondly. The look of someone quite smitten.]

I remembered a woman. Bright and beautiful, funny and adventurous. I can only hope she was my queen were I truly a king. Aera. [He looks back to Ariel.] Her name was Aera, and I feel I could go the rest of my...afterlife not remembering a thing about my own life so long as I can remember the radiance of her hair in the sunset.

[ Seal is just chilling, watching Ariel as she darts around the makeshift arena. They're not certain why it seems familiar, only that it does. Some echo of their lost memories, probably.

They swipe their weapon through the air when Ariel does, though whether it's a form of mimicry or just simply an affirmation of support is unclear. Maybe it's just for fun, though that seems unlikely.

seasharp: (die ideale)

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-13 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's good!

[Ariel is very pleased, regardless of why they're doing it. Heck yeah, buddy!]

Is your weapon like a sword, too? I mean, it seems like it, but also not? I guess it's really special.
phantasmagorial: (neutral talking)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-13 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That's quite a few of us now who have swords... they must be a common kind of weapon.

[ Teen Girl With Slashing Damage Squad ]

Does it feel pretty natural?
seasharp: (madama butterfly)

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-13 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess so! Maybe we should all form a club~?

[SQUAD! SQUAD! SQUAD!]

Hmm... Kinda, yeah! When I swing, it just sort of feels... right?
phantasmagorial: (smile)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-15 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good, then. If you're comfortable with it, you'll get a feel for it much quicker.

[ ... Then her face falls a bit. ]

Not that you should have to, though...
seasharp: (where corals lie)

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-15 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it better if I do, though?

[She laughs a little, like this is just a casual thing.]

The quicker I get this figured out, the more help I can be!
phantasmagorial: (OP | gazing)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-16 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Rei sort of blinks at her, looking wrong-footed somehow. ]

Are you really not scared at all? This is going to be dangerous... and you might get hurt.
seasharp: (la lugubre gondola)

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-16 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
...Maybe I am, a little.

[Is that uncool of her to admit?]

But what if other people get hurt? I don't think I could stand it. I mean, you're out there fighting, too. And everyone else will be, too.
phantasmagorial: (smile)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-16 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her expressions clears a little, relief peeking out behind concern like a sliver of sunlight behind clouds. ]

Yes... that's exactly how I feel too. If I can do something that nobody else can, then I'm not sure I could ever forgive myself if I just sat around doing nothing. Especially if people are in danger.
seasharp: (record del mar)

If even one person got hurt when I could've prevented it...

[...Somehow she feels very strongly about this.]
seasharp: (waldstein)

2/2

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-16 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha, well, I'm glad you get how I feel! Keeping people safe is important, right?
phantasmagorial: (smile)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-19 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

[ Rei looks at her for a moment, not probing exactly but clearly thinking things over. Then, with a brief flash, she transforms – unarmed for now, but clearly Ready For Business. ]

Then, um... maybe we could practice together? I don't really know the technical side of things, but I've been fighting with my sword since I got here... it could be useful.
seasharp: (pelléas et mélisande)

[personal profile] seasharp 2020-08-22 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... Yeah, let's do it! Two swords are better than one, right?

[...]

That sounded better in my head.
phantasmagorial: (n_n)

[personal profile] phantasmagorial 2020-08-22 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It gets a laugh out of Rei, at least. ]

Well, you're not wrong. Um, could I see how you use your sword, just to start with? Just so I have an idea of how good you already are with it.
