Backdated to the end of week three

[thornsofmalkav]

So. Uh. It turns out that like Tachibana and his giving people healing abilities, I kept some stuff from Achaia, but we don't know what it is yet. Does anyone want to be a test subject for me to pass on abilities? Healing wasn't really in Selene's wheelhouse, but some other stuff is. You'd basically have to come to Tachibana's lab and I'd attempt to bless you and he'd wave around instruments or something to see if it gives him a readout.

Comments

[pferdeweibchen]

[Sorry, but Jean's attention is brought onto the first thing.]

Tachibana can give people healing abilities?

But I'm pretty sure you have to take it as a taught skill

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. He can bless them? Like the gods did back in Achaia?

that's what I thought anyway

[pferdeweibchen]

Do you think he would mind blessing another?

[thornsofmalkav]

Uh, probably. Let me poke him.

[pferdeweibchen]

Thank you, Thorne.

[triggerhappytraitor]

I wouldn't mind. I'm not sure what the cooldown period is for them, however, as I just did one a bit earlier. So it may take two tries.

[pferdeweibchen]

If it's not too much of a trouble, I would like to try. Should I also find your lab, then?

[triggerhappytraitor]

Yeah.

The door is open, just go through the garage to the back where the lab is.

-> action

[pferdeweibchen]

Got it.

[At least she's pretty sure she knows where to go. She might need to ask directions along the way, but she does end up showing up.

Gosh, she feels so small compared to many of the guys right now.]

Hello.

Re: -> action

[thornsofmalkav]

Hey, Jean!

[And that's Thorne there to greet her at the door. She's in a tie-dyed lab coat with a small badge that reads BOARD INTERN and then under it THORNE.]

Come on in. Don't mind Tachibana. He's being a horse now.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Centaur. [[The correction is firm, but still amused.

Tachibana, in contrast, is wearing nothing at all. And is likely only adding to the feelings of being small as Galen's form is rather large, his lower half being from a rather sizable draft horse.

He paused, blinking as he caught sight of the person entering, having expected a different form with that name.]]

...Shiro's friend Jean, or another?

[pferdeweibchen]

Oh, so that's what I sensed before entering here.

[It's useful to know she can also track down Centaurs with her powers.

Jean smiles a little sheepishly.]

Shiro's friend, yeah. This is what I always look during Questing Country.

[thornsofmalkav]

[Ssssh. She knows you're a centaur, Tachibana. She'd just rather call it 'horse' because she's a silly, silly girl.]

Don't worry. We're the last people to blink at alternate forms.

[Just look at Mr Horse Man over there.]

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[Just be glad he didn't keep Galen's temperament, calling him a horse would have put you on his ass-kicking list~]]

and he kinda did blink, whoops]]

Didn't realize the changes it created were that far reaching. [[Considering his own had been minor, and Hajime's had been all but undetectable. But what had his curiosity a bit more was the other comment Jean had made. ]]

You sensed the transformation?

[pferdeweibchen]

Neither did I until it happened. On my first Jaunt even.

[Ah, the memories of freaking out and Levi almost murdering her for wearing their uniform and being unknown.]

Yeah. I'm the Oracle of Horses. I didn't know I could sense Centaurs as well, though, but it does make sense considering I sensed a part of Glatisant being a horse, too.

[thornsofmalkav]

Huh. That's pretty cool.

[Shall we usher her to the square of doom and recording shit?]

[triggerhappytraitor]

I can only imagine the confusion that caused then.

and I'm sure Galen would take great offence to that, but thankfully, his form doesn't contain his temper as well.


If you're ready, the optimal spot for all the data-gathering equipment is over there, [[He nods to a spot in the room where various cameras and sensors are pointing to a square outline on the floor, before looking over at his lovely assistant/intern Thorne]].

Need any additional pointers on the equipment or did you get it all the first pass?

[pferdeweibchen]

It would have been interesting to see if I could have calmed him down.

[Sorry, she just had to say that, even if it's mostly an amused thought. She does walk to the spot standing there and waiting patiently.]

[thornsofmalkav]

I think I've got it. Go on. You do the blessing while you're still equine--hey, would you be willing to let me ride you later?

[triggerhappytraitor]

If you could have, it would have made rage when it wore off twice as strong. Best not to try it if you ever run into him. [[Because he'd rather not have to deal with remembering that if the situation ever did come up. Which it hopefully wouldn't.]]

[[he pauses, blinking at Throne before shaking his head with a small huff. Why do people always ask that... are horses that rare?]] If you really want to... it'd have to be outside, since caves aren't exactly ideal for running in. Especially with hooves.

[[He lets out a slow breath, shaking off the small talk and focusing to call forth the feeling of Galen and Apollo's power with in him. His posture shifts, backs strengthening and making him seem even taller than before. On the spectrograph, the highlighted area indicating god-powers grew more active, a faint, barely noticable aura of light and warmth building around him.

He steps forward, hooves almost silent against the lab's tile floor as he moves to stand in front of where Jean is waiting. In a slow, deliberate motion, he reached a hand out, hovering it just over Jean's head. ]]

May the power to preserve life come to your hands whene'er you have need of it, so that tragedy may not befall that which you guard.

[[ His voice held a quality to it that was distinctly different than his normal speaking voice as a soft, warm light radiating gently down from his hand, washing over Jean like the summer sun. ]]

[pferdeweibchen]

[Jean closed her eyes as he felt wash over her. It filled her with so much warmth and it made her smile.]

I do feel different.

[thornsofmalkav]

[oh my god, tachibana, how did you not realize that was blatant flirting]

I've got the readout on the scanner now too, if you want to look at the results.

[triggerhappytraitor]

[[There's a moment's pause as Tachibana lets Galen's presence fade before he turns to Thorne.]]

Same band as expected?

[pferdeweibchen]

[Jean is mostly waiting since she doesn't understand much anything about the technical talk.]

[thornsofmalkav]

Yep. Same band.
