| Training on the Beach Part Deux | ||

And after a moment Frey walks onto the beach, clad in casual attire. With a look around she sees Violet and makes her way over to the girl, "Hello Vi." she says with a easy grin on her face, "How have you been?" Violet looks up as she's greeted with a smile. "Frey! I've actually had a pretty damn good past couple of weeks, I think." She blushes slightly, actually, then shakes her head. "How've you been? I have been really anxious about this... I've been trying to pull the wings out, but for some reason I just can't do it..." Frey hmms and thinks for a moment, "Oh, you have to tell me about it then. Jason said you are getting better. He's debating bringing his powers into play when he trains with you." as for the part about the wings, "Tell me, what do you think of when you do it, when you try to access those powers?" Violet says, "What do I... hrmmm." She paces again a few steps. "I've just been remembering the effect, I suppose. Which I'm sure is what I'm doing wrong. But the old days are still so cloudy to me, it's kind of all I had... I remember being able to... summon them, grow them, whatever, pretty much at will, so... I guess I was just... thinking of the wings themselves... thinking of the fire, thinking of the flexing of the wings, thinking of... well, you get the idea." Frey hmms and nods, "Sounds like a...block is in place." and she taps her chin, "Violet..how do you feel about your father?" she asks calmly as she eyes the younger woman. Violet takes a step back at the question. "Gyih..." She looks down, actually having to think about this. "I.... I'm not sure. I... I don't remember him as well as I'd like... and I've had a lot of conflicting thoughts about him since I've gotten here. First I thought he was just being stuborn or afraid to not return, then you told me he was dead, but then others told me he was alive and well elsewhere, so I just thought he was a deadbeat, then the whole... multiple Jacks thing got explained to me and I... I remembered his ship exploding in front of me in the last few seconds..." Frey nods slowly, "That was his power..the Phoenix. And I think it scares you." she looks at Violet, "I'll say this now..he loved you. But he was scared to say anything because he lost so much in his life." she says calmly, "...You're scared of accepting a part of him, what he left to you." and she looks out at the ocean, "I want you to imagine what it felt like when you saw the Falcon destroyed, feel the emotion and channel it through you..and then..let that fire out." Violet gets a troubled look, the outer corners of her eyebrows falling lightly. She looks down and swallows, then carefully sits down on the sand. "Remember... focus on all of that? Everything, or, just the Falcon?" She then shakes her head, deciding that if something's blocking her, it's just her thoughts on her father, not on her city, her world, or her ship. She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes as she tries to remember how she felt in that moment... The wrecked Nobara drifting away, the countless bolts of energy filling the sky around, the one headed right for her escape pod, the Falcon flying right up to intercept... Frey hmms as she watches the girl..and she taps her chin. And she nods firmly, there seems to be more to it. "The key to it all was..emotion. Your emotions drive it..and your will shapes it. Just..let go." Violet's eyes twitch. Though closed, it's still clearly visible. She takes another deep breath, trying her best to remember in more detail a memory that happened mere seconds before she developed amnesia before. "It's... hard, everything is so foggy from back then... I remember... more the idea of the events happening, rather than the actual memories... It's more like... I saw it in a movie..." She frowns, still trying to clarify the memory in her mind. Frey hmms, "Don't focus on the memory..but rather the emotions. Those cannot be blocks." she sighs, "Your father died for you, and your ship..your friend died." she says in a cold tone to drive the point home. Violet's frown deepens, trying to draw on the emotions that she... vaguely remembers feeling back then. Trying to draw upon raw emotion, she tries to remember first the better times with those in question... but she can't quite draw upon those memories. While her fog of memory is no longer affecting her in her day to day life... She still can't become all that emotional from that which she's lost... She knows she's sad about it, and thinking about this in fact depresses her somewhat, but she can't quite get to the anguish that she felt in those last minutes, the last seconds of her time in NeoTokyo before. Frey hmms and thinks for a moment, "I wonder.." she says with a look at Violet as she steps around the girl, circling her slowly. "Something is still holding you back." Perhaps it was a mistake to use the beach... The wind, the waves, they tend to relax with their sounds... and that is not what Violet needs now to channel this ability! Her face relaxes a bit before she catches herself. She takes another deep breath in, then actually covers her ears with her hands. She renews her focus, renews her efforts at recollecting just what had happened in those horrible final moments. She remembers... She remembers screaming at Nobara as she was forcibly shoved into the escape pod... She remembers pounding on the window, looking out as the warship shattered in front of her. She remembers looking helpless as debris and energies cascaded towards her, only to be blocked as one last ship exploded. She screams, odd silver lines briefly glowing on her cheeks, but those fade as the wings of fire erupt from her back. Frey grins a bit, "There you go." she says with a look at you. And she goes to lay a hand on your shoulder. She knows that hurt.."And I'm sorry." she says softly. Violet breathes heavily as she catches her breath, a few tears trickling down her cheeks, which she wipes away. "Y-yeah... well... This is... this is what I asked for." She sniffs once, then looks over her shoulder at her wings. "So.... I think... I think I can do this more freely now... now that I... remember what it's like..." She swallows again. "But I don't remember the feeling on my face from that before." Frey hmms, "Your father's eyes glowed..but those lines..that is new." and she hmms, "Violet, stand still." and she goes to cast a spell, and once done she lays a hand on Violet's head letting the spell 'scan' her body, to see what it could be. Violet holds her breath and sits still as Frey puts her hand on her head. The scan, however, doesn't seem to pick up anything unexpected. She can only hold her breath for so long, and she soon exhales. "What's up?" Frey hmms, "Nothing..it could be." she looks at Violet, "...it could be how your powers developed." she says with a shrug, "I really can't tell you much else. I never studied Jack's powers in depth." Violet finally seems to be catching her breath, and she stands up. "Well...." She smiles, but it doesn't look 100% genuine, as is hardly surprising given the emotions she just put herself through. "I'd say we've made some pretty good progress so far..." She looks over her shoulder again at her wings. "Um.... Do we keep going with the other parts? Or... Shall I see if I can get to the other parts on my own now that I remember this?" Frey hmms, "Well...we could work on activating the powers. The energy blasts and the like..after that should work well. Violet nods, then looks out to sea, taking a fighting stance. "Okay... so... I'm gonna... huh." She returns to just standing as she realizes a problem. "Okay, can you tell the difference between that and a ki shot? Because... that's something I was able to relearn on my own. I guess I need to ask what the difference is... because I was just about to shoot off a normal ki shot instead of what we're trying to do." Frey hmms, "Imagine a fire burning..a blaze born from your heart." she says softly, "Now..imagine it in your hand." Violet nods and takes a fighting stance again, but this time closing her eyes. She pulls back her hands, cupping them as a light forms between them... "No," she says, and the light fades. "Did just what I was afraid I was going to..." She sighs, then cups her hands together, focusing entirely on the thought of flame, imagining it on hear heart... And then her tanktop catches fire. Her eyes snap open and she yelps as she looks down at it, and she then literally flies into the ocean to get it put out. Violet pokes her head out of the water again. "Well, THAT happened." Her wings are out, as well, of course. She dips back underwater to swim back, soon coming back up much closer. "Okay... I think I'm ready to stop for tonight, now... But I could tell something actually happened... clearly." She looks down at her tanktop and at the hole now making it a bit less decent over the left side of her chest. She sighs. "Damnit." Frey hmms as you come ashore and giggles a bit. She can't help it it was funny. And she shakes her head as she reaches into her pack and offers you a towel. "I think your lady friend will be most..impressed with that." she says with a teasing smirk on her lips. Violet blushes a bit at that comment as she takes the towel to start drying herself out. "Ehhhhh, I think I'd rather look nice than just showing less." She's very careful when trying to dry herself off around her tanktop, of course. "A tanktop with a scorched hole there just looks trashed, not hot." She looks down again, making sure she's still decent. While she's certainly less decent than she was a few minutes ago, thankfully it's not so bad that anyone's going to want to arrest her for indecent exposure. Rin-chan comes up the beach, seeing Frey's letter of where she'd be, and with nothing better to do, and always liking the beach, especially this time of year, warm enough to enjoy the air, but too cold to swim, so no idiots trying to surf or become shark bait by swimming... Thats what pools are for.. Either way, Rin pauses as she catches the last bit of that, "Ah, or you could repair it with a bit of magic... Frey looks at Rin as she arrives and nods and at Rin's comment she grins, "I was teasing her." and she steps over to Violet and mutters a couple words and like that the burn begins repair itself, sealing the hole. "There." and she hmms, "So Rin..heard there was a bit of a incident last night." she says with a look at the MAgus. Rin-chan nods, "Yeah, why I've got a bit of a limp and why I thought a walk would do me good, regrowing muscle doesn't do so at their full power..." she frowns, "It seems Chaldea's mess leaked in here.. Grand Caster found NeoTokyo... Frey nods slowly, "Right." and she grimaces a bit, "Not good. Do you know the Caster in question?" she asks as she crosses her arms in front of her. Violet pulls on her tanktop a bit, testing it out. "Thanks, Frey... For this, and for for helping me unlock that." She then looks up at the conversation, trying to make sense of what they're saying. Regrow muscle she gets. The rest of it... not at all. Rin-chan says, "Solomon, son of David.. The king of magic himself..." Rin-chan says, "Thats our enemy... The fight with him happened in my past, however, he has the ability to travel through time and dimention, so..." Frey sighs, "The Ars Goetia." and she looks at Violet, "Alternate dimension, they use Legendary Heroes as their weapons." she says with a shake of her head, "..Right, need to contact Skeeve and bring Jason in." she grimaces a bit. Rin-chan nods, "Jason knows, he was there.. Only reason we won. Violet says, "Uhhh... Is there something I can do to help? ...Or is this all going to be well over my head?" Rin-chan says, "That and that Kamen Rider giy." Rin-chan says, "We need all the help we can get.. This is..." Rin-chan says, "He will not stop till he ends this and all worlds connected to the grail." Rin-chan says, "That means here." Rin-chan says, "The fact Chaldea sent a agent here was a clue, I hoped I was wrong." Frey looks at Rin, and nods, "Kamen Rider..haven't heard that name in a while." and she looks at Violet, "MAybe..long story short a rogue Legendary Hero is on the loose and we need to deal with him. According to Rin, there was a attack." and she looks at Rin and nods slowly. "...And we got some idiot out to end the world...again." and her eyes flash a bit as the smell of smoke and steel appears. "..Fine, we deal with him." Violet says, "So what scale are we talking, then... Is bringing in the NTSDF called for here, or are mecha just bigger targets for him? If that's the case..." She concentrates for a split second before a set of flaming wings erupt from her back. "Then I'm trying to get myself to being a better weapon without the tech." Rin-chan says, "It took the combined forces of a whole institute thats only saving grace was that my Male self and Shirou's female self were not in the barrics." Rin-chan says, "If he shows up, prepare for confusion, his name is Ren, with a e." Frey looks at Violet, "Violet..a Caster class could go toe to toe with me and Skeeve easily." she says with a look at the young Phoenix, "Imagine the myths and legends of heroes..Excalibur being a blade of incomparable power, Gae Bolg never missing it's mark..now make them real. We're talking living myths and legends given form. The NTSDF would he hard pressed as they don't have ground forces other than mechs. Rin-chan says, "And this grand caster, Solomon.. Is twice as powerful as any of THOSE casters." Frey sighs, "Right," and she nod solemnly, "Guess Jason's gonna have to stop being gunshy and go all out then." Violet sighs, letting her wings vanish. "Yeah, somehow I figured that... Well... I should be heading back home now, then. It's getting late, and I won't get in the way of your planning." She offers the two a wave before turning to head back up to the boardwalk. "See you guys later... And call me if you need me." Frey nods, "Will do Violet." and she grins, "I'll contact you when we have a plan and a target." Rin-chan says, "How it was explained to me. his goal is the eradication of Humanity, that which he calls 'garbage perpetuating a foolish history, the single greatest waste of space in the universe'. All other Servants are beneath him in his eyes, not able to measure up to him in terms of the rank of their classes, rather than their ranks as Heroic Spirits." Rin-chan nods, "As I said, Violet-san.. We will need all we can get, Sleep well." Frey sighs, "Considering his Ego is up there with Gilgamesh's it's not surprising. He's very well known..the Book of Solomon, the Ars Goetia: The who's who of demons. He's left his mark on the world." | |
