[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
I didn't know fire wings were a thing.
[She wonders if she can pull that off with her normal psychic abilities or if it's only possible with the seasonal fire...]
no subject
They're part of the new powers we got from the dragons. Just forming wings from fire won't let you actually fly with them like these do.
[He tried when he started practicing them.]
no subject
[Girl got the powers but did not bother to remember the whole list, hence the over the top reaction.
Someone just hand her the proverbial clown nose now.]
How hard is it ta make 'em?
no subject
I was stuck with the smallest of wings for a week that didn't do anything. When I finally managed to make big ones, it took me a week to keep the wings in form long enough to start learning how to fly with them.
[In other words, it's kind of hard.]
It really depends on how much effort you're willing to put into practicing and how well you know how to create fire in the first place.
no subject
[That should be doable, she thinks.]
I've only been in this world for a short time, but I've learned that the key ta makin' fire that's different from my psychic powers is ta focus on the emotions that're fer summer... although it's still not easy.
[Sometimes they're very similar!! It's Rough!]
How high can ya fly with the wings, anyway?
no subject
[If he still had Empatheias emotion powers, it would also be different. Likely a little chaotic, too.]
I've flown as high as the guild building roof so far, but it's probably even more than that. I'll have to test next time I have my dragon ring with me.
no subject
[She trails off thoughtfully. Definitely going to have to train to fly now; it'll be helpful for coming up with a lot of stuff.
But-]
Dragon ring?
no subject
[Which is useful if you suddenly lose your fire wings in midair.]
no subject
[She did get her guitar back at that place coincidentally, but she hadn't been looking at the other objects yet...]
D'ya know what the other colors do?
no subject
[But for personal reasons he went with gliding, even if he has been thinking about getting the red one sometime.]
no subject
[Is Megumi going to suddenly start having a collection of dragon rings, only time will tell.]
I'll have ta get one [or two, or three] later!
[Wait.]
Ah, sorry, I must've interrupted ya fer too much of yer trainin'.
