[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."

B
[Rinku trains at the Summer Guild a lot, and right now, she's completely forgotten the training sword in her hand in favour of watching Jean doing some kind of fighting game move with his fire.]
That's really cool! What gave you the idea to do it that way?
no subject
I saw it in a video game and wondered if it would actually work. Looks like it does.
[He isn't very good at fighting games, but at least he can mimic the moves.]
no subject
[She tries doing the same fighting-game moves! ...And promptly turns her heel, ends up in an excruciating split, falls over onto her own tail, yelps, and rolls off it.]
...ow...
no subject
It looked like you put too much focus on your the leg that you kicked with. You need to also focus on the other so you stay in balance.
[He might have failed quite a few times, so he knows how it goes.
no subject
Balance, huh... That makes sense. I bet I could do it if I tried a couple more times!
no subject
Do you want me to heal your tail for you? I gained my previous worlds' powers back. I can even heal you as you practice the move.
no subject
no subject
[Jean doesn't need to touch her tail to heal, but does hover his hand close by. There's a faint, warm glow around his hand as he concentrates. It doesn't take too long until Rinku will start to feel like her tail is as good as it was before she fell on it.]
There. That should do it.
no subject
[Rinku spins and then hugs Jean tightly.]
It works! Thank you so much, you're the best!
no subject
It's not a problem at all. I'm just glad my abilities are useful.
no subject
no subject
[Which he was glad about because f alchemy.]
I studied under a doctor for a year to get better at it.
no subject
no subject
[It was definitely weird. Not even his familiar could really explain it.]
That would suck. I wonder if that's something that could happen?
no subject
no subject
[The only abilities he still hasn't learned.]
no subject
[She concentrates, and while she doesn't outwardly change, her eyes light up.]
See? --Oh, wait, right, I'm already a giraffe so you wouldn't see. But I can see everything! And hear everything! Those guys over that way are arguing about their power bill!
[All the way on the other side of the training area.]
And I bet it'll make me stronger too! You know a giraffe can kick so hard it'll break bones, right?
no subject
[He demonstrates it a bit by gaining white tiger ears with lightning like tufts of fur, a long tail and paws. His eyes are also cat-like.]
Even the new mythological ones. It's just anything changing my appearance... to look like other people that gives me issues.
no subject
[Rinku tilts her head and hums.]
Like how Neechan and I were gonna use shapeshifting to switch places for April Fool's this year, but then she didn't wanna do it anymore in case someone kissed the wrong person or something and then got mad?
no subject
Ah, well, I've been made to stand in for Eren twice back home. Because we have "the same mean look". So I guess my mind blocks any attempts at changing my appearance.
no subject
no subject
[Even the thought of turning 'cute' embarrasses him.]
no subject
no subject
[That actually makes sense. Jean sighs and lets the Byakko transformation go, thinking about something actually cute that he could turn into.]
Hmmm.
[Well, his mind drifts off to thinking about how cute Mikasa's bedhair is when she wakes up. Which means his hair actually changes into black, really messy hair that looks like he just woke up from bed.
Not that he notices it at first.]
no subject
Yeah, just like that! If you keep working at it, I bet you'll be able to do more!
