[Hymn #68] ~Staccato~

What a truly detestable person.
It's my job to assist civillians, regardless of how unpleasant they may seem, and yet I've never run into one before that was so... entirely unmanageable. It's as if he behaves that way on purpose. Why would anyone?

Perhaps I need more training.

... [Sigh]

No, I definitely need more training.

April 1.
We never did determine what happened; it leaves me to wonder if it will be the same this time.

Easter's approaching quickly as well. Come to think of it, would anyone mind accompanying me on a shopping trip? Mr. Shinigami showed me an Easter tradition during my first half-year on the island and I'd... like to repeat the procedure if at all possible.

((OOC: The tradition was painting Easter eggs just as an FYI.))

Honestly, I don't know.

I'd prefer not quoting people on subjects I don't completely understand myself.

Perhaps they're both symbols.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Still seems weird, though.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Well, think of it this way: How many things do cheagles and tuning forks have in common?

And yet they are both important symbols to the Order of Lorelei.

...I've heard weirder.

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

...Good point.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

...there is one other story I've heard about in regards to Easter.

Supposedly there was a god who sent his son to live among and teach humans in an attempt to lead them to salvation.

But the people doubted his identity despite the many miracles he performed and they later betrayed him. In the end, the son was falsely accused and slain on a cross in order to save the world from its sins.

The story goes on to suggest that he overcame death by rising three days later and ascending to heaven to be with his father.

[Luke has been struck speechless. He can't possibly think of something appropriate to say in response to that.]

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

[Searches for a change of topic.]

So... about your training.

[/Fail.]

How much control would you say you have over your hyperresonance at this point? Have you ever tried erasing shapes or symbols out of a solid object before?

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

...Huh? Oh, uh. Not like that. I have erased parts of stuff before, though.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

...If I marked a circle in the ground, do you think you'd be able to trace it?

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I probably can.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

[Already knows he can. With enough practice.]

Good. ...I think you should probably try it.

It would most likely be best to start with exercises, though. If you can learn to open your fon slots slowly, one at a time, I think you'd find that you can control them and moderate your power more easily.

Be sure to eat something before you show up for training. You'll need the extra energy.

[IDK who died and made her boss.]

[apurposetolive.livejournal.com]

Um... Right. I'll do that.

[Well, Luke is going to roll with it for now. She's the soldier, after all.]

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Good. I'll see you later.

If you happen to think of any relevant questions between now and then, I'll try to answer them after the training session is over.

((OOC: Feel free to assume Tear has agreed to training Luke now and in the future, either regularly or sporadically; whichever you think is most appropriate.))
