10th Aura | Action

[Action at Nova City]

[For the most part, Jaune felt like while he couldn't always take what this place dished out, he could roll with the punches. He had a lot of practice with it, after all. A headache thanks to a set of horns and a ruined bunny t-shirt courtesy of a pair of wings would probably be a considered an inconvenience at best. And honestly, it kind of was. He had already knocked over a lot of things--and people--with his wings. They kept twitching as he tried getting more accustomed to them. Once they felt more natural and not just like two entirely foreign appendages stuck to his shoulder-blades, he wanted to test them out. He didn't consider that he might be an Incubus. He didn't care where they came from or why they were there. He could even ignore the horns.

Instead of picking a nice, relatively open place to test out his abilities, like Attleton or Fayren, he picked Nova City, mostly because he already lived there. With its daunting skyscrapers and flying vehicles, even in the dark, it probably wasn't the best choice.

It definitely isn't the best choice. Without the ruined remains of his t-shirt, Jaune is shirtless and flying into a lot of objects. He seems to think that by flying faster, he'll somehow be better and dodging too, which doesn't work at all. Sometimes he'll impact something so hard he falls on the ground, but he keeps trying, ignoring the way his head increasingly feels worse.

He's acting stupid and reckless. But this is the closest he's felt to invincible. He has to take advantage of it while it lasts.

Feel free to jump out of his way or approach him when he falls and keeps trying this out. On the bright side, he's actually smiling faintly.]

[Action at Remnant House]

[Eventually, he ends up returning to the house. It's late, probably around 3am at this point. Normally, he wouldn't even think of sleeping, but he's exhausted. Flying is tough. He's just going to...sit on the couch and hope his horns or wings don't ruin it if he jumps up or moves in general.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ The cities were now impossibly lively with all forms of magical, non-human creatures and it was hard not to explore around to see just exactly what everyone was doing or handling their new powers. Karma was absolutely no exception to this and had been running around, frightening poor NPC's and thinking of trying to find where he could get his hands on a viable source of blood.

Seeing as while he may not be the sanest one out there, he wasn't about to just attack any old human to satisfy his hunger right now. Maybe that was what had brought him to Nova City, heading down one of the streets when a loud CRASH from above gets his attention, being his only warning before something horned, blonde and with wings crashed to the ground not far from where he stood.

Raising an eyebrow, a lazy smile curled his lips and he put his hands into his pockets while stepping closer to the fallen guy on the ground. ]

I wonder. Just what could compel someone to just try flying around a city like this at night?

[ Karma's grin widens a touch, bearing a pair of rather sharp-looking fangs. ]

People might just take you for some kind of masochist.

[Aura or no aura, that crash hurt more than the others. Jaune was just going to get comfortable on the pavement when he heard an unfamiliar voice. Despite the way his limbs protested, he stood back up, giving an awkward shrug of his shoulders.]

You know what they say. Practice makes competent. Isn't the whole point of having wings like this to do stuff at night?

[His tone remained light, but his smile had dropped into something more guarded. His eyes caught the fangs, and the threat perceived with them. After the previous event, and witnessing others in the past, he figured this was just something temporary and widespread. He wasn't sure if they had to do anything to fix it, but he wasn't really worried this time. The same couldn't be said for the lazy tone of voice the stranger used. There was an underlying edge to it that came with confidence. It generally wasn't the loud, boastful types you had to worry about, like the weird Freezerpop. It was people like Mercury, Cinder...

This guy.

A strong gust of wind flies in Karma's direction as Jaune rises back about ten feet in the air above him.]

Shouldn't you be robbing a hospital right now?

Not entirely. Unless you really do like crashing into things and giving yourself brain damage, that is.

[ So amused. Jaune you certainly are a special one, aren't you? If he'd picked up on the blond's attitude changing, he certainly didn't outright show it - one had to have a good poker face after all - and it was clear that something was running through the other's head. Indeed Karma was aware he boasted confidence; never bothering to hide that kind of made that hard to ignore.

He just chuckled a bit as the gust of wind blew past him, sort of wordlessly impressed with Jaune's ability to get up so high in such a short span of time. It's the actual WORDS that followed which actually got more than an initially snarky response because HUH. Who would have thought the kid had this much bite to him? ]

If I had the inclination to be a criminal, it would be worth considering. I'm well aware there are other options to get what I want where that is concerned.

Please, no one wants brain damage. [He spoke from personal experience. If Karma glanced at the soles of Jaune's sneakers, he would possibly be able to see they were labeled left and right. He planned ahead for these things, all right?

Oh. Great. He was laughing. With his fangs and the lack of light, it bordered on ominous. He wouldn't be surprised if Karma had been caught off guard by his response. It was easy to label him as a pushover. Right now, though? Maybe he had an advantage.

He was perfectly happy to stay up here, in the air, where he was harder to reach.]

I get the feeling you're not going around asking for donations. What other options are there...?

[Yugi was rather annoyed with what happened to him, he was pretty much see through for the most part and had a hard time hold pretty much anything. Being a ghost sucked royally. It made working hard as well as he floated through the door of his shop. He had tried to get one of his workers to take over and manage while he was like this, but he had somehow managed to scare them off.

That was annoying. With a sigh he continued to float on ahead, at least that was until someone literally flew through him. Well... he figured that was a good thing as he tuned his head slowly.]

Uh... Are you okay?

[Jaune's still trying to learn how to use his wings. They beat slowly, keeping him a few feet off the ground, but he nearly dropped when he saw who he had flown into. There was a flicker of recognition, before he answered almost cautiously:]

That depends. Am I hallucinating?

No... if you are talking about the fact you flew right through me.

[He thinks that was what he was wondering about. But he felt like he could also be very wrong.]

I don't know exactly what happened but now I'm kind of like a spirit or ghost.

No I meant more that I'm talking to you. And you're a ghost. Which shouldn't be that weird, I mean, I just got wings and horns, but it kind of...still is.

Are you okay? [He seems pretty calm for someone who's technically dead.]

[Terra has a flower delivery. It's one of the few times she gets out of the flower shop and she's enjoying the soft touch of a light breeze when she hears a crash and watches a blonde tumble from the sky. There is a moment where her shock stops her from moving but as the surprise fades Terra moves to the boys side.]

Are you alright?

[She places her basket down and focuses on the warmth inside of her chest. Silver fireflies rise to her fingertips as she casts a light healing spell.]

[Oops. He hadn't meant to startle anyone, but it's mutual when he recognizes Terra. He doesn't move at first until he sees the fireflies and tries waving away her concern--and magic.]

I'm fine, I'm fine-- See?

[If he had any bruises, they fade on their own as he activates his Aura.]

Totally fine.

[Terra looks unsure but nods her head. This is the first that she's seen someone's changes like this.]

Are you sure you're okay?

[Her voice is quite and gentle.]

I... you look different?

[If there is a delicate way to put it then Terra doesn't know it.]

I'm sure.

[He looks surprised at that. Not because of the statement, but that she knew what he looked like. He shouldn't have been. He shrugs and flies up a few feet, because he wants to take advantage of this for as long as he can.]

I think it's one of those city things. Things will probably be back to the way they usually are in a couple of weeks.

[Action at Nova City]

[ Jaune wasn't the only one practicing with his wings. Mayu figured skyscrapers would be good places to perch while trying to fly. Using his glittery fairy wings was tiring. He paid attention to traffic laws while in the air in order to avoid being hit by a flying car.

He notices Jaune being a lot less careful. When he falls Mayu flies up to catch him, or at least lessen the impact.

While holding Jaune in his arms princess style, Mayu's wings beat frantically. It's a lot harder to carry someone in the air. ]

It's harder to roll with wings.

[He knew there would be an impact. He isn't exactly happy about that fact, but when the landing is decidedly gentler, he starts to try to stand up until he notes the feeling of someone's arms surrounding him.

That just leads him to starting to struggle and panic, attempting to press a hand to Mayu's face and push him away until he notices who it is.]

Roll?

[It isn't the most relevant response to his current shock, but it's the first thing he blurts out before he catches up and...]

Mayu? Uh. What are you doing?

[ The struggling makes landing gently more difficult. He's surprised that he managed to land without falling. He tries to be gentle about letting Jaune down.]

Caught you.

[ He figures this is enough of an answer.]

Roll to fall safely.

I was doing fine. [He wasn't, but he's so used to people swooping in to save him that he feels defensive.]

I guess that's true. I didn't really think about-- [He finally catches his wings. Stares.] Nice wings. They're very...delicate.
