| Natalie had already moved away before she could notice Jake blush. Her attention was directed back to John. She merely shruged. She was a bit taken aback that he said the could stay though. When he mentioned it before, it sounded like it was important for no one else to be around.
"No one said I had chroma like you guys." She stopped and stuck her tongue out at John. "I'm just along for the ride now. I still would like to understand how it works however...so..." She paused. "Thank you!" She exclaimed happily, for lack of something better to say. She glanced at the door where Leon made his exit. She chose not to say anything about his sudden outburst though. He'll come back when he feels better she assured herself. |

| "Well, my friend, while they train, what will become of us?" Wiley said, Kirabo's words still floating in his head a bit. It was true, and he know it, for, technically, they were his thoughts, as Kirabo is whatever he thinks. It was all too complicated to deal with at the time.
"You think you're different from them? You need training too you know! But... not like theirs. You definetly need to find a way to focus your energy. It's scattered, you're scattered! You're at perfect ease, loose as water for one second, then immediatly something happens and you just... lock up! You get all stiff... and we're going to figure out why. You need to relax your nerves at all times; that'll preserve energy AND give you the ability to move quite freely, since being stiff won't help you in a tight situation. That's right, you're gonna have to move around as much as they do if you decide to go." "I have noticed that... we'll figure out a way to fix it." "Damn straight we will. Its obnoxious! I'm not sitting in a truck for hours on end with a jittery kid like you. Part of that is what I told Jake before. You need a positive outlet for your emotions- you've been wearing a mask since you've met me. I can see the real you; I'm FROM the real you. You need to come to terms with a lot of things; and I can tell you need to stop lying to yourself." "Lying to myself... what's that suppo-... eh, I see what you mean. I'm doing it right now, aren't I...?" "There, we start now. You tell yourself 'Oh, its okay. All this confusing matter is just flying around me and I'm just another part of it and it'll somehow find an end someday and I'll take whatever comes to me.'". Right? "That's grossly accurate." Wiley walked to a secure part of the room, into the shadows, away from the others. "Good, you're admitting more and more; just don't become a push over. If I tell you a lie, tell me the truth, just like you have to do with yourself. No lies, truth. Also, another good idea; you might not want to be distracted by the others for now. Unless you have to leave suddenly, I'd stay by yourself. Everybody gives off energy, and everyone in this room has the worst possible fluxuations of energy. You give off an aura of confusion, John gives off frustration, as does Jake, who also has an energy to him that is a mixture of rage and sadness. Natalie seems to be... she gives off something mysterious, as if she's hiding something. It was a good idea for Leon to leave; his Croma is so incredibly agitating that it is impossible to dodge the fact that he's giving off very negative energy. But, for now, we leave them all be." "We should go to a different room. One that... negates negative energy. A chapel would work." "So you've got a head on your shoulders. See? You told me the truth - hiding in this room really wasn't a good idea. You'll improve you'll see!" Wiley walked from the shadows to John and Natalie, who, on cue, seemed to be ending their conversation. "I need to... prepare for something myself. Do you think I could possibly go to the chapel for just a while... maybe until we leave? It's important... but if you need help in here I'll understand." |

| Natalie turned to Wiley and was able to look at him directly for the first time. She smiled as she responded to him. "Take as much time as you need."
She paused and then spoke to John, but was sure that every else in the room could hear too. "I know you're anxious to leave as soon as possible, but if no one feels they are up to par just yet, don't you think it would be wise to take the time so we could make sure we're okay out there? We need to be able to know we can handle what's out there...not go into this hoping we can." |

| Xeios finished his pack and walked to the marketplace. There were some venders left, and he bought five packs of cigs, cancer sticks, yummy. Leon turned back and hid a pack in his coat, then found his messenger bag and tossed the other four in there, keeping them from getting squished. He walked his wak back to the garage, he noticed the damage he did to the wall. It brought back memories of the anger. He pushed the door open and saw the others talking. Hm. Some training. He leaned against the wall, and sat listening in on their convos.
"Some training session, a problem though, these shadows won't listen to diplomacy, so lets get on with it." Leon walked over and stood by Jake. He motioned for him to follow what he was doing. "Feel the energy as you, if you can acheive a mental symbiosis with chroma, then you will use it when in need, almost without thinking. You saw wha tI did to the door, almost none of that was physical strength, that was Chroma, and the fire amplifying itself in me, my veins, giving me energy, and it was a surge of energy, that kind of shit happens when I lose control." Leon thought, Jake I know you can do it. Focus on what you want, what gives you power, focus on your virtues and vices...You can do it. "Try. Shoot the x on the wall." Leon aimed his arm out, and an X shaped flame shot forth andburned some ash into the wall. |

| John stared at Leon coldly as he entered. The douche thought he could look cool and leave and come back whenever he wanted. And he yelled at John for changing attitudes often.
"You've got a grip on your Croma there, Leon. But you have no idea what it actually is, do you? You think Croma is an energy source we make, something to be completly manipulated. You're playing with your lifeforce when you go off like that. You might overshoot and kill yourself. Jake, you know how to fire, but not yet how to shift your Croma better. I'd suggest just practice methods of shooting before you try anything flashy like making an X. Know your basics before you fly off the handle." John turned and looked at Natalie. "That's why I suggested we train. I love how my ideas are always used to argue against me. No offense Nat, but it always happens to me. Anyway, tell me, has anything paranormal happened to you in the past few years? Maybe you have Croma..." |

| Leon glanced at John, he was hardly worth a comment, but he couldn't help himself.
"Changing attitudes often huh? People don't usually go from yelling at people to do some damn work, and then saying , oh well I'll train you now that I've got people actually doing stuff. You are a terrible leader, and a poor judge of people, now, what I did was got angry, and anger is usually an emotion which lasts a very short amount of time, especially if someone has good self control. I also wasn't telling him to fire an x, I was telling him to hit the x. And feel his energy channelling through him. Its a better lessn then you've given as of yet." Leon turned back and stared at the x... "Just extend your power to it, and feel the energy channeling through you, this way, you have a better way of knowing how to locate your energy source." |

| "Actually, you motherfucker, I finished the work all by myself. You were busy whining and showing off when I said we were done. We have free time and I offered to train him. You're acting like you're better than all of us, when you've done nothing but insult and anger us. And then, when I offer to train him, you pop out of nowhere to fucking decide 'Oh I'll do a better job than John and completly clow him off'. I lost my temper ONCE, because everyone watched me work without breaking a sweat. You've done nothing but suggest idiotic alternatives to what I say. You think you have the right to ignore me, prove it. You, me, right now. Give these guys an idea how to handle Croma."
He pointed to the large expanse of open space near them. Leon'd crossed the line by being such a dick. He didn't care how Leon had been raised, he wanted to know why no one had beat this bastard down yet and put him in his place. John had only wanted to help move this along, and Leon was preventing him by any way possible from doing that. One day until he left, with or without these people. He wasn't going to put off a godamn jackass the whole time. |

| Jake just glared at Leon. His arrogance was astounding. "I'll give it a shot." He steadied his fist, and thought about penetrating the wall in front of him, a good 15 feet away, and as he did, his fist automatically, opened, and took the shape of a strange barrel, and with a small explosion, a tiny hunk of croma rocketed from his fist, and sank into the wall, cracking it in a 3 foot radius. "Holy shit..."

| Leon clapped several times and patted Jake on the back, his gaze then turned to John. Hm, this little prick surely was getting upset at me being better than him. But a comment surely was in order.
"Well, It appears that I have done a fine job teaching this guy how to use his Chroma, you know, to visualise his attack, to see it through, and to know how much energy to exert to acheive his goal. And I'm not sure too many of the others even need my help. By the way, if you'd like me to get angry, then persist. If you'd rather not end up like that door, then I'd suggest you take your foolhearty pride and get back to doing whatever you were doing." Leon turned his back on John, and looked at the car. He opened the side door, and tore out the seating. He had noticed some mattresses and pillows down at the other end, that would be good enough. He grabbed the mattresses and slid them in the back of the truck. One layed across the left side, being folded up to prvide a couch-like effect. And the other laying across the right side, doing the same thing. He fastened them together with some yarn and a needle, something he picked up along the years. He tossed the pillows in the back, they could be used as back rests, and sleeping items. Oh damn, sleeping would be tough in this vehicle. No matter, he'd learn to sleep sitting up or not sleep, It didn't matter to him. "So, what is there to do here, besides argue and fight." |

| Natalie looked from John to Leon, shooting glares at the both of them, for the moment, ignoring Jake's display of croma.
"That's enough John." She said, her tone low yet stern. She then placed a hand on John's shoulder to prevent him from doing anything as Leon responded to him. However, her eyes remained on Leon. "You'd better not even think about taking up on his silly little challenge." She says in response to his last comment. She stepped foreward and stood at a distance from them both, yet between them. She looked to the ground and shook her head. "If you would like to continue this battle you two have going on who's is bigger, then I suggest you either take care of this later when we're all done with this..." Natalie paused and looked from one to the other, locking eyes with each one as she did so. "...or when we're dead. Then I'm sure you will have all of eternity to work this out." Even though it seemed like they would leave each other alone for the moment, due to Leon's recent actions, she wanted to make it clear that she wished it would end permanetly. Natalie didn't even realize at first that she was giving a lecture on how to act to two men. She had spent too much time taking care of her family before this disaster and instinct just came in. She felt as though she were separating her mother and father from their childish bickering once again. Then suddenly, it hit her. Mom....Dad.... she thought to herself. Then, at the thought of her father, tears of anger began building up in her eyes. That bastard...he said that he'd bring the kids here... She didn't need to wipe her eyes to hide her sudden surge of emotion. She merely blinked a few times and the tears had dried before they even rolled down her cheeks. She looked at John, afraid that he may wish to say something else to start things up again. "Alright?" |

| "Natalie, if you weren't here, we'd have a dead body on our hands."
The boiling rage burned in John, driving him to hurt Leon any way he could. But Natalie wanted him to stop. If anyone here was asked, anyone could say John was the better man. This douche was just a self-propogating bastard who loved to press his buttons. John scoffed and looked at the others, trying his best to hide the demon that wanted to silence Leon forever. "So, who needs me? If not, I'll go to sleep somewhere else." |

| Natalie turned sharply and looked John dead in the eyes.
"That may be so...but we don't know who's body that would be." She snapped, replying to him promptly. When he mentioned about going off somewhere else to sleep, she waited a moment before saying anything. After letting out a sigh, she spoke up. "John...can we talk?" She asked, her voice growing quiet and shy. |

| John sighed. He'd never been more pissed off with someone before. He had to compose himself before he lost it completly.
"Yeah, Natalie. Tell me what's your on mind." He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, looking at Natalie. He forcibly breathed hard to relieve his rage. He shook off the adrenaline and smiled at Natalie, trying to be happy even though he'd rather be doing something else. |

| Natalie looked about as John leaned against the wall of the room they were all in.
"It's about this 'croma' business...but...I don't know...I'd rather not pour my heart out in front of everyone just yet..." She said, her voice trailing off a bit. |

| Leon smiled, this was enjoying, and pleasant. He looked at John and had to make one more comment.
"One tends to see his worst quality in others, and picking it out makes one feel self-important." Leon turned to Jake, he was cheery and very calm given the fact that he just pushed John's buttons to an explosive end. And Natalie was tearing up, she must have recalled something terrible. He didn't want to hurt her, so he was upset that he had, but never-the-less, John would most likely think before he acted again. Awww, too bad, It would be fun to toy with him again. Leon was not at all taken aback by John's comment of a dead body, he knew that John had too much Pride to strike an unarmed man, and was too reasonable to know that having him in a group would come in handy. "Jake, can you repeat that lesson, try to do so just as you did before, try to call back the samepower you had before. And continue practicing with that, memorize the feeling of that chroma, and if you have any problems, I'm sure John will have no problems answering them." Leon smiled like an asshole, he loved his job. |

| John took a step forward, rage returning. He suppressed it and growled under his breath. He'll get him later, bide his time...For now, he didn't want to be around that sonofabitch any longer.
"Alright, if you want to talk, c'mon." He led her back to the room where he had briefed the others about the mission, where Leon had been quiet and shy, his better half. He leaned against the counter and looked at her. "Yeah, what's wrong?" |

| Jake turned around and pointed his metal encrusted finger at Leon.
"Listen, asshole. I've been though a lot of stress, and frankly, you aren't helping. Shut the fuck up, alright?" Jake was upset, and not afraid to speak his mind. Its his own fault if her gets a huge steel fist in his face, anyway, he thought. |

| In the midst of the fight, Wiley stole away out of the room. The incredible surge of negative energy was almost too much; if he didn't leave, he feared Kirabo would intervine and completely forget about him. Luckily, this time is was Kirabo who led him away.
"I'm not going to babysit for anyone's emotions. Not even yours. When people do or say bitter things, they're gonna get something a little more bitter back. It's like a game of tennis; someone hurls the first insult, and if it hits that right spot, the other person will find it necessary to hurl it back, until their's an incredible volley of terrible energy that results in somebody losing control. But, that is why I am leading you to the chapel; I feel you have the ability to control your energy and conserve it, and that you won't start a fight. That is because..." The two entered the chapel. Kirabo's memory of passing it while they had been out in the fields certainly was reliable. It was simple, but held more to it, the room. There was a red carpet down the very center, leading to a small podium on a slightly elevated staircase. An undecorated wooden cross hung in the center of the northern wall behind the podium. There were rows of eight benches on either side of the carpet. There were two doors on either side of the room. "... that's because you're spineless when it comes to confronting problems, and starting fights is one of the positive traits associated with that." "Alright. I know what you mean. I wouldn't know if I weren't admitting that I did. You're talking about denial... and what you said before about not showing emotion." "Well, thank goodness this is going to go a whole lot faster than I thought. But, we'll talk about it... when we go through that door. But first, can you answer me why we need to go through that door?" Wiley couldn't see anything more than the wooden door. There was nothing fancy about it, physically. He felt compelled to open it for the oddest reason. "I don't blame you if you give up. This is your first lesson of tonight; though you cannot see beyond the door, there is a way to tell there is no danger behind it. Reading the energy around you will come in handy if you plan on doing anything that might be dangerous. Because of the lack of visitors that have stepped through the threshhold of that door, the energy within is serene, even more so than this chapel. It is a smaller room, devoted to a smaller religion. How do I know this? How do I know its more than just a storage closet? There is no energy whatsoever. If it was a storage closet, a janitor would have entered recently. On a more physical plain, you can see there are more tangible things to that door that give the fact away. There are no scratches on the keyhole, the wall where the doorknob would hit is completely unscathed, and if you want to really get into it, there is no marks where anyone would have knocked upon the door, hit it, et cetera. Now, what do you do with doors?" "Open them." Wiley said, as his hand reached for the doorknob. There was a layer of softness to the metal knob; dust lay unsettled on it. "Whoa. You're right..." On the other side of the door was a small room, not even a quarter of the size of the chapel. On the ground was a long rug, meant for kneeling. Before it, a fountain, using some sort of current to move the water gently around. The walls were bare. There were no tomes or any religious symbols of any kind. A simple meditation room, the calm sound of the water used to relax whoever came inside. "It's as if they built it just for us." "Well, it's for those who have no true religion, and those who's religion was not represented in the other rooms. A place to calm the spirit, and to temper it into whatever it needs to become. Speaking of religion, that is one problem you must confront, along with the many others you have tonight. Why do you not practice any form of religion, Wiley?" Wiley kneeled on the mat. A slight spasm in the knees; he was beginning to get a little shakey. All he needed was to tell the truth. "I have to reason to not follow a religion, nor do I have a reason to follow one. I believe religion is used in order to guide a man to his ultimate goals in life, be it ascension to whatever heaven he believes in, or to better his own real self. I have no guide, nor have I ever really had one. No set of morals to base my actions upon. I suppose this is also why I am always letting other people do things for me and make my decisions. With this philosophy I've guided myself until now, and... it's never worked. Thats what religion was made for in the first place, to guide those who are really lost. And... I'm really really lost." "If that is the case, than let the teachings in this room to be your guide. It is not a religious episode, but a spiritual one. You must strengthen your mind by detaching yourself from past habits. You THINK you've done that already, but no, you're far from detached. Forgetting doesn't work, its remembering and mourning that which has been lost, and then... flowing on." "Flowing on, hm... thats a way to put it. So, admitting my mistakes, then remembering to not make them again, and then also remembering painful experiences will make me... stronger?" "Essentially, yes. Hiding them will have them eat away at the back of your mind. And then, when more trouble comes, like... the death of your family. I know thats on the back of your mind, eating away. You've put current matters ahead of them, when they should have been dealt with a long time ago. But when more matters come, they all cram into your mind, shrinking it and allowing you to not think as clearly or fluidly. Instead of enhancing your imagination, which in essence would be strengthening me and your Croma, you spend your time fiddling away with past ordeals but never getting them accomplished and over with." "This is getting repetative... but yes. From now on, I will express my feelings more openly through some sort of a medium. Maybe if I kept a journal of sorts..." "Now you're thinking! Whenever anything is on your mind, write it down! Write those holy words which purge your mind, clean it for a healthier thought process. Let it flow out like the water in that fountain... you.... you will find that much of this can be used in a metaphor involving water. You must go with the flow as I said before. Let it all flow out, and in turn, knowledge, experience, and creative thoughts will flow in, filling that which you had emptied the bad with the good!" "This night will be over too soon..." WIley said. He understood all of which Kirabo meant. Now it was time for the great disposal of his negative memory. With that extra burden gone, his energy would literally come to an exhaulted state. It would take more than one night to reach a point where he is completely honest with himself, but a foundation, a place to start his new life, a place where such little energy flows as so he can craft his own is where he was, where he would start his real journey. |

| *Kaylee left the bickering boys, a look of disgust on her face. Holding her bow she climbed up to the upper levels of the shelter, dodging guards and making her way to a window to look out and see what the Shadows were doing. She saw a battle a mile or so away, the soldiers falling to the ground, dead. Tears whelled up in her eyes*
Is that what happened to him? Did these monsters show up in Africa, too? *She opened the window with one hand as she wiped her tears away with the sleave of her other arm. Leon and John had pissed her off, Leon more than John. The new girl... Natalie she thought was the name, had made a good suggestion: make sure it works on them before we get outselves killed. That's what her Johnny would've said, and that is what she was going to do. She peered out towards the battle, willing her eyes to focus on the hideous Shadow creatures. Suddenly, it was like she was only 30 feet away. She pulled back on the bowstring and took aim at the creature's head, then she fired... ... and it dropped, dead. The croma arrow vanished as the creature dissolved, and both sides of the battle that saw it go down looked around for the cause of the attack. Kaylee was so far away that neither side seemed to even look that way* "It worked... holy shit, it worked! That was for you, love!" |

| Leon hung his head. He looked up sheepishly at Jake.
"Sorry, I...lost my control...Forgive me." Leon sat on top of the car, and looked around, basically everyone was mad at him, or mad at what he'd done. He would try not to conflict with John again, and actually try to be his friend if it came down to it. Leon thought on how he could get back to John's good side...He drew blanks, nothing was coming to him, and nothing seemed as if it would work. "Kaylee, that was brilliant! Amazing work. I knew I was right in believing in your ability, and in everyone's. You all can do it, we can kill them. Their end in near, they are running on borrowed time, time they borrowed from us, time that we wil collect on!" Leon was genuinely excited and even though sometimes he could be sore or grumpy, he was generally nice to people who weren't overconfident/overtly proud. (Last edited by Xeios on 03-04-06 04:37 PM) |
