towerofanimus | Tear's Big Project, Day 1

Characters: Tear Grants and YOU
Setting: The meadow on Floor 25
Format: Starting action, reply as you wish.
Summary: This is the first of the two days for Tear's offer of training in magic. There will be closed parts for certain people and a few open sections.
Warnings: Magic, fighting, Luke and Asch in the same area with pointy things, possible explosions?

[Tear made her way to the meadow thirty minutes early, a book in her hand as she made that way. She looked around at the empty space and grimaced. Why she'd thought this was a good idea, she'd never know, but she was determined to see if she could get the residents of this Tower of Horror to arm themselves in light of the recent problems with the administration.]

Closed for Luke fon Fabre (OU)
[If the redhead looked carefully enough, he'd see the brunette looking off into the distance at the flowers as she waited for the others to gather.]

Closed for Asch the Bloody, Sheba and Xion
[She'd decided to work on the redheads away from one another, but any friends they brought were fine. She'd expected to see the blond after their exchange on the network.

Closed for V/V, AU Link and Zelda
[She couldn't wait to introduce her two new friends to one another. Link had training with bows and swords. Between those, Tear was sure that V/V would find something she could use.]

Open Section for Magic Training
[This was perhaps the most anxious part of the entire ordeal—trying to figure out how the magics of so many worlds worked and to see if those interested could actually learn to use the Seventh Fonon, or if she was going to be spending her night telling them all how to do battle first aid.

Only time would tell, right?]

Open Section for Fighting Training
[As opposed to the magic training, this, this she had no issue with. She was a proficient with her staffs, maces and knives. Besides, she'd learned as a child that anything could be used as a weapon in times of need. And with the many sword wielders as she'd met since coming to the tower, she knew that this would be fine!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Luke almost didn't want to; he was afraid if he did, everything would blow up in his face. That tended to happen way too often, and he wasn't in the mood for it. So "opening his eyes slowly" turned into a shy peek, one lid cracking open. His hand wavered unsteadily, and that glow started moving a little too fast up his arm, as expected.]

[He let out a grunt, trying not to panic as his eyes flung open, grabbing his arm with his other hand in an effort to keep himself steady. Luke forced himself to breathe, the glow steadying, quivering, before finally stopping cold. For a moment, he didn't dare move, barely dared to breathe, before trying to force it back toward the tips of his fingers, just like he'd done in the past.]

[She could feel the disturbance and quickly placed her hands on his elbows to steady him.]

Luke, you can do this. Please, relax. Just let the fonons naturally dissipate. Don't force them.

I-I'm trying...

[Luke forced himself to breathe, try to let it do just that, but any time he just tried to let it follow it's natural path, it crept toward him again. He shook, trying to think; he hated to do such a thing, but he thought back to Master Van's advice, focusing on the tips of his fingers. Just... relax, and the fonons would go away on their own... just... relax...!]

[The glow slowly, very slowly, dissipated, and Luke fell over backwards, spread eagle, on the grass. He was left gasping for breath, but there was still a large grin on his face.]

I-I... I did it...!

[She returned his grin with a smile of her own. He was grasping this so much better than he did last time. And with less influence from her brother! She could have cried in relief but instead she turned to pick up Amnon and cuddle the pink creature in happiness.]

You did! You did a great job. You should be proud of yourself.

[Hey, wait a second here...! Luke shot back up, pointing to himself.]

H-hey! You're supposed to cuddle the person that did good when they succeed in something!

[...wait.]

[...]

[AW CRAP.]

I-I mean...!

[Nope. Not blushing. Not at all.]

Jealous?

W-why w-would I b-be j-jealous?!

[O-oh god, how to get out of this... how to get out of this...?!]

[Her blush deepened as she thrust the cheagle in his direction, trying to avoid looking at him.]

Because you wanted to cuddle Amnon too?

[...oh god, was she really handing him an excuse?]

O-of course!

[He snatched the cheagle away, holding it in what had to be the grumpiest cuddle ever.]

[Now that she had another focus for her attention, she recalled their conversation on the network. She was all business for this subject.]

You lied to me, Luke.

[Luke stiffened; aw crap...]

H-hunh...?

[The guilty look on his face gives him away, unfortunately.]

[She knows that look all too well.]

Your sensei assured me that he did not call you away from our conversation over the network. I will only say this once to you, so I hope that it sticks. Do not lie to me. About anything.

[Thanks a lot, sensei.]

[He glanced over to her out of the corner of his eye, a pout on his face.]

M'sorry... I panicked...

[She sighed, unable to stay angry at him, even if she meant every word she said to him.]

I understand. Just don't lie to me. You...the Luke I left...lied to me and the others about the deterioration of his body after the incident at the Tower of Rem. It was only because of Mieu that I learned the truth.

Don't do that again.

[Luke let out a faint noise, glancing over at her. The thought that he had been dying was pretty damn scary... the fact that he wouldn't tell her...]

...m'sorry.

[She reached out and squeezed his arm gently.]

Would you like to hear me sing while we're here? I know that you requested that I do so.

[He let out a faint noise at that, brightening a little.]

...yeah. Now's a good time.

[She gave him a small smile before sitting up straight and beginning.]

Tue rei ze croa riou tue ze. Croa riou ze tue riou rei neu riou ze. Va rei ze tue neu tue riou tue croa. Riou rei croa riou ze rei va ze rei. Va neu va rei va neu va ze rei. Croa riou croa neu tue rei croa riou ze rei va. Rei va neu croa tue rei rei.

[Luke curled up, Amnon on his lap and a small smile on his face. The cheagle let out a faint coo, nuzzling against his stomach, but otherwise both were quiet as they just listened.]

[It was... really his first time hearing the whole thing properly. Tear had only used a couple before Akzeriuth, and he wasn't entirely sure if she knew them all. Really... if she mentioned it, he wasn't paying attention. Now that he knew what it was supposed to sound like? Well...]

...beautiful.

[With that one word, she was back to blushing and standing up, trying to make sure he couldn't see her face.]

Th-thank you. I-I think I see others that need my help now! If you'll excuse me!

W-wha...?

[...oh.]

[...oh crap, he said that out loud!?]

U-uh... r-right... U-um...

[OH GOD THINK OF SOMETHING LUKE.]

D-d-do you want me to help? You know, w-with the fighting training?

Y-yes, that would be nice! There might be others who wish to learn how to use the sword, and I doubt that Asch is going to be much help outside of those he likes.

[Keep calm and play it straight. There was no point in getting flustered and acting like an idiot.]

Y-yeah, that's true, I'll go do that!

[He hopped up to his feet, and... there was an awkward moment where he wasn't sure what he was supposed to do. Um... give her a hug? Wait, no! That... no.]

U-um... w-wish me luck!

[...SO MUCH AWKWARD.]

Good luck!

[When he was gone, she took a huge breath before gathering her mental faculties to go and see to the other groups and make sure that no one was getting themselves hurt yet.]
