[Open Log] Repeating the same story
WHO: Jean Kirstein & Open
WHAT: Old habits die hard, so Jean is training again + other things
WHEN: Start of May, before the event
WHERE: Nightwake + Other places
WARNINGS: Will warn in threads when they come up
A: Weapon Training
(Dayrise Coliseum)
Somehow, Jean had ended up training with multiple weapons. Mostly it was because of his trust weapons manifesting as completely different weapons, but it was also just his general curiosity about different methods to fight.
His most recent addition has been a pair of tonfa. It would mean very close combat, but with weapons anyway. A little bit more strike power with them equipped. At least being hit by wooden or metallic tonfa sounded like it would hurt quite a bit. Too bad the training dummy didn't really provide feedback about that.
Another weapon he was still getting used to was a chain whip. He'd gotten better with it, but precision was still bit of an issue. He could cheat a bit by using telekinesis, but he wanted to do it properly, which is why he was training a lot of the same movement over and over again.
B: Seasonal Abilities
(Dayrise Coliseum/Solarpeak Summer Guild)
By now, Jean had mastered the Fire Wings. They took the form of eagle-like wings on his back and he was able to fly with them rather easily. Occasionally he kept the wings on his back while practicing other abilities, just to see how long he could keep them on without completely exhausting himself.
This month his new focus was disintegrating things. Namely, the items he had set up on stones. Most he had managed to do so far has been tossing them far away with telekinesis and lightly nick a corner of something away with the ability.
Of course after losing in the Season Cup he's practicing the abilities he's already good at. Clearly he wasn't good enough when he dropped out so quickly. So he's definitely punching and kicking out fire at air, wearing a sleeveless shirt and sweating quite a bit.
C: Breaks
(Dayrise Coliseum/Solarpeak Summer Guild/Blossomcrown Park)
Occasionally Jean "practices" his animal transformation. This usually meant napping somewhere as a cat. For his newest cat transformation he had chosen a maine coon. A big one at that.
D: Hunting (Closed to CR)
(Segment of Choice)
Jean liked to go hunting when it was getting near full moon. Meat was something that was needed a lot during that time, so he wanted to be prepared. Of course he could just buy meat, but hunting satisfied his inner wolf even better somehow, even if he wasn't transformed.
Of course he wouldn't go into the Segments alone, so he always took someone with him to his hunting trips. It was the same today.
"Thanks for coming with me."

[A quick nod as she checked over her equipment.
Truth be told, she could do with the distraction. To get out of the city... and not think about the situation with Ryoko. Maybe the chance to hunt was just what she needed.
Besides, her inner wolf needed satisfying too.]
...Any sign of tracks?
[That would at least give them a starting point.]
no subject
Responding to Mukuro (and woefully inattentive to her inner turmoil), he checks the wind and soil ahead of them.]
Deer came through here maybe an hour ago! Should we go for them, or see what other tracks we find?
[A deer would be a lot to eat and freeze, even shared between their households, but if they don't have enough freezer space, they can always share the wealth with others!]
no subject
Being one of the evenings of the full moon, Jean has his wolf ears, tail and fangs out. He listen to the surroundings closely and sniffs the air.]
I can also hear some larger footsteps up north, but it might be a monster. I can't identify the scent at least.
no subject
Mukuro's furry ears pricked up, the fur on her back and arms bristling-]
Deer...yeah, I smell them. Not too far.
[Yellow eyes sharp, focused on the horizon.]
...Can't identify the other one either. No visual yet.
[Mukuro crept a little closer to the treeline. Sure, she could send out her Pokémon to scout, but that would defeat the purpose of hunting!]
no subject
Let's leave the monster be! If it's also after the deer, we'll find out soon enough.
[It's hard, too, not to break into a run right away when he has so much energy, but they need to be smart about this. With the wind in their favour, they should be able to quickly move in on their prey, provided they can keep their voices low.]
