[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.]

Comments

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

Huh.

[pulls back his hand to look at the materia then tries again.

Again, nothing happens.]

The hell? Did it break?

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

No, it should work instinctively. It's got the memory there.

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

[okay fine. Tries again!]

[It works! Except it's the ground right under them that's shaking]

Whoa!

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Whoa-!

[stumbling right into you]

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

[well the ground seems like a nice place to be at the moment]

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

[tumbling down on top, a mass of knees and bones. at least he manages to avoid most of the directly painful spots, but wow, that's pointy. :D;]

Aaa--sorry, sorry!

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

[That. still hurts, Doc. Thanks.]

Fuck, ow! You've got a knife hidden in your arm or something. Doc?

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Just my medial epicondyle. Which is just my bones, before you ask.

[removing it from your sternum 8D;]

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

[my sternum D8 rubs that sore spot]

Yeah, yeah, you're the smartguy.

The fuck went wrong anyway? I didn't tell it to hit us! [glares at the bracer while he's at it]

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

I don't know--it's never done that to me before. I just sort of knew how and where to do the basics with it.

[manages to roll off you, kneeing you one more time in the process]

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

[winces at all the pointy pokes. Picks himself back up once Chaz has rolled off him.]

No way I can't get it t'work.

[Yeep. He's totally trying again.

Again, nothing happens]

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Maybe you're blocked or something?

[iiinching away slightly]

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

[giving you an evil eye for that]

I can summon a fucking sword. This should be easy!

[again! ... oh hey there's a tremor! Close behind them]

. . . this is bull.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

[THIS IS SO YOU DON'T GET HORRIBLY BRUISED, WHAT ARE YOU EVIL EYING ME FOR]

Do you feel it taking the energy out of you? When it doesn't work, I mean.

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

[BECAUSE I CAN]

I dunno. [holds out the bracer to try again...] Nope.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

Huh...

[staring at the materia for a second]

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

Think it's my bracer?

[annoyed fiddling with the materia in the bracer slot]

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

As far as I know, it has to be in a bracer to work, so maybe, but maybe not? I don't remember there being any materia before we got these.

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

Tch. [gives it another shot and gets no response again :/]

[removes it and tosses it back to Chaz] Easier t'just use my sword.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

If you like ancient technology, maybe.

[slotting the materia back into his bracer]

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

That's what all the old people say.

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

You do it your way, I'll do it mine.

[glances at Chika's hand, then away]

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah.

[notices that]

What?

[analyze_that.insanejournal.com]

That must be pretty handy to have, if no one can take it from you.

[wheresthemoney.insanejournal.com]

The katana?

Yeah, s'something.
