.oo4 // ACTION (backdated to the 28th)
[ .. so anyone nearish to the barrier on the north side of town (and, honestly, anyone within probably a mile radius), please don't be alarmed by the very loud crashing sounds, and spikes of bright blue light flashing against the trees.
that's just barnaby going crazy.
his hundred power is activated, limning his body in a bright blue blaze, and man this kid is seriously tearing out all of the stops on this, all but slamming himself against the impenetrable force field again and again and again. he's kicking out wildly, launching himself into it with the full strength of his hundred power, and of course the barrier stands, unshaken and unmoved. and he knows that there's no point to this, that the barrier will hold and there's nothing that he can do to break it down, but dammit that won't keep him from taking out his frustrations on it. ]
Dammit!
[ he leaps high and slams his shoulder into it again, bouncing back and flipping backward, landing on his feet and sliding back with enough force to kick up the earth and grass beneath the snow -- but then he's at it again, churning up the ground, bouncing back and forth and shouting, low and guttural, through clenched teeth. he's tousled and bruised, scuffed and in a general state of disarray but man he is way too pissed to even care. ]
[ ooc; yeah backdated to .. basically right after this! ]

I think... it's better to stop for now. [He could hurt himself at this rate.]
no subject
.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you.
no subject
Are you injured? [He was certainly going at it hard enough to be.] Please let me see it if you are; I know first-aid, and healing magic from Nala.
no subject
No, I'm not. I'm only .. [ pause. ] Angry.
no subject
no subject
Yes.
no subject
I can understand that. [Her voice is soft, sympathetic.]
But I don't think it's useless. Even though this barrier will hold, that power and your determination will be needed when we all make other plans, too. And one day, we'll definitely win.
no subject
.. You're right. We will.

no subject
[ not him, though. he hasn't forgotten. and he never will. ]
no subject
[More truthfully, Usagi getting back to their world so it can be saved is the most important; but she can't say that in this form.]
no subject
[ barnaby takes a few steps back from the barrier, and finally turns to face her fully. ]
I think more people here need to be reminded of exactly what this place is.
no subject
I think you're right. And I'm willing to help you, if you want.

I'm Sailor Mercury. [Despite a slight stiffness born of shyness, she takes his hand.]
no subject
.. and is that seriously her name. this place gets weirder and weirder. better to just accept it (though he does pull a face). ]
I'll remember. And if anything comes of this I will .. contact you.
no subject
Thank you. I think it will be best if we're able to combine our forces and work together. We'll have more resources at our disposal that way.
no subject
Agreed. Do you have .. specialties?
no subject
I also use the sword.
no subject
Right. I'll keep it in mind.
no subject
no subject
Hundred power. I can enhance my physical attributes by one hundred - speed, stamina, strength.
[ etcetera. ]

no subject
[ well he knows that NEXTs are freaks and all, but he's never actually .. had anyone interested in studying him. he's not really sure whether he's flattered or offended, and he doesn't really know how to respond. ]
I suppose I'd be wiling to answer your questions, if that's what you mean.
no subject
What sort of system is it? How does it increase the body's capabilities?
no subject
no subject
I see. What are some other abilities you've seen manifest, in other people?
no subject
All kinds. Almost anything you can think of. Some can produce fire or lightning, some can fly, or increase their stamina, or attract metal objects.

[ well, he's certainly seen stranger things, here in this place. but this one hits a little closer to home. ]
no subject
I understand being surprised, though. [She'd been beyond surprised herself, when she first learned about it.]
no subject
no subject
Very few humans are aware of it in my world. The place we lived is now in ruins.
