[Someone's snuck out of the dorms vvvery early. And appears to be taking it out on the rocks with his materia.

Watch out for minor earthquakes.]

[shoulders deflate, slightly, but he nods easily enough]

I guess. I just don't feel comfortable aiming with this thing all the time. But I probably should wait until after breakfast, next time.

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Waiting after breakfast would be better, yeah.

... how's it work?

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Picture where it's supposed to go, then release. Hard part is compensating for the fact that it'll toss up the dirt around it, but I'm getting better.

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Huh. Different from mine then.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Yours has more then one setting though, doesn't it?

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. It's more like a collection of different things.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Including the Vulcan sleeperhold action, right?

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Yep. That and the knife toss are basically the only useful ones I've got.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

[...hm.]

Who gave you the knife toss?

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Trixie did. I traded her my pants for it.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Interesting trade. I wonder...

[trails off, looking thoughtful]

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

What?

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Keep your eyes on me. I want to try something.

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

[looks at him curiously]

As long as it doesn't eat too badly into your calories.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

If this works, it should only take a second.

[b-blinks. even knowing what's going on, he's surprised. the materia flashes briefly.]

-- Chaz?

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

[fully, solidly back.]

It flashed. Does that mean it worked?

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

[looks rather distant. he concentrates for a moment, then disappears the same way Chaz did.]

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Huh. That's pretty weird looking.

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

[flickers back to normal. looks a little winded.]

-- jesus, that takes a hell of a lot of energy.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. I can hold it for awhile, if I have to, but it's hard to get that much energy going, sometimes.

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

[nods]

I can see why.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

That should make you invisible to a lot of things if it has all the ways I can do it. Maybe even including smell, that's still a little tricky for me.

[in_the_chair.insanejournal.com]

Damn useful. Especially compared to some of the other stuff this thing picked up.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

...dare I ask?
