You're going down! Tanrial gave Bernon the best grin she could as she passed him but not by much.
You're going down! Tanrial gave Bernon the best grin she could as she passed him but not by much.
I mean, probably, Bernon panted, doing his best to keep up. But don't underestimate me–ouch. He stubbed his toe on a branch and almost fell over, but managed to regain his footing and keep running. Okay, you know what, just try not to beat me too badly. I still have some pride left.
Tanrial chuckled, I cant wait to see what Mike does. She slowed down a little but just enough so that she was still winning but not by a lot.
Bernon managed to at least keep up the whole way, but once they reached the lake he gave a gasp and rolled to a halt, returning to human form. "Whew…..Maybe that wasn't the best idea? Now I have to try to make a storm while I'm already tired." He closed his eyes and rested his arm over them. "Oh well. That was fun."
(brb, gotta have supper)
Tamriel nodded and took a minute to calm her breathing, “Yeah, take a moment to get your energy up before you try anything. I don’t want to carry you back.”
(Okay)
(did you mean "energy?" I'm not sure what Englert means…..)
"Yeah." Bernon lay still for another second, then rose and started pacing to cool down. "I don't see Snatch or Fear anywhere. I wonder how they're doing."
(Yeah, sorry…)
“Me too, I hope they’re doing okay. I’m sure they are but I just can’t help but worry.” Tanrial sighed and stood up straight, “Right, you feeling any better?”
(lol you're fine, made me laugh)
"Yup." Bernon came to a halt and cracked his knuckles. "So….I guess I'm gonna start with the water and add lightning once I kinda figure out what I'm doing. Sorry in advance if I drench you."
(off to bed, seeya tomorrow ^^)
(Seeya, sorry I could be on much today)
Tanrial nodded, “It’s fine but try not to drench me. Maybe trying making it rain first? That might be a good starting place.”
"Okay. Here we go." Bernon rolled up his sleeves and faced the lake, closing his eyes in concentration for a minute. Then he raised his arms and began pulling up the small waves as they reached the shore, collecting a bit of spray and vapor each time. It swirled around him as a damp mist, trying to condense onto his clothes and hair, but he kept it at bay and forced it to rise higher, all the while adding more water from the lake. It was clearly more difficult to control the water when it was in such an insubstantial from, but Bernon refused to give up. Soon he had a sizeable cloud of cool vapor hovering over the trees that was gradually collecting more water from the air around it.
"Okay now," he said, his voice a bit strained. "I'm gonna start to let it fall. Fair warning if you want to take cover somewhere."
"Thanks for the warning." Tanrial quickly walked a fair distance away from Bernon and the cloud, stepping under a small piece of rock that jutted out from a larger one. She gave him a thumbs up, indicating for him to let the rain fall.
Bernon tried to release the cloud slowly, so that it didn't all fall down at once. The water sparkled in the evening sun, making a soft hissing noise as it fell. Bernon was quickly soaked, standing as he was in the middle of the downpour.
"Well that's a lot of work for not much effect," he remarked. "It would be nice if I could control the wind and make a tornado or something."
Tanrial shrugged and walked over to Bernon, “If only. But that was a good try, at least we know you can created a small rain cloud.”
"Yeah. Maybe I'll have a go at the lighting anyway, just because."
Mike appeared out of the trees just then, taking in the waterlogged beach and the mist still floating in the air. "What did I miss?"
(off to bed, seeya later ^^)
Tanrial crossed her arms, “Just Bernon drenching himself with the rain cloud he made, not much really.”
Do it, try and hug him. She spoke mind to mind with Bernon and bit her lip to stop herself from smiling too much.
(Seeya, Sorry I couldn’t be on much again)
Bernon turned around, still dripping wet, and walked toward Mike with a large grin on his face. "Embrace the lake, bro," he said, advancing with outspread arms.
"Woah, hey–" Mike held up his hands and backed away. "Thanks, but I think I'll–" Bernon kept coming. "–come on man, I'm not gonna–" With a yelp and a scrambled, Mike was forced to duck around Bernon and run off along the beach. Bernon laughed and chased after him, which resulted, after several minutes of pursuit, in Bernon full-on tackling Mike and sending them both into the shallows with a splash.
"Seriously?" Mike said, but he was smiling as he shoved Bernon away and got to his feet. "That was your idea, wasn't it Tanrial? I see you laughing over there."
Tanrial had bust out into a fit of giggles and nodded, "He lost the race over here and that was his punishment." She only managed to get one sentence out before she started laughing again.
Mike sighed and shook himself, which did little to remedy his sopping clothes. "Some punishment. You enjoyed that, didn't you, Bernon?"
Bernon nodded, looking very proud of himself. "You need more hugs, bro. Hugs are awesome."
Mike chuckled dryly. "If you say so. Maybe next time we can skip the part where we fall into the lake, hey?"
"As you wish." Bernon peeled off his coat and wrung it out, staring off at the curve of the land where it stretched toward the horizon. "It's almost dark. I guess I'll just try the lightning right quick while I can still see what I'm doing."
Tanrial nodded and walked over to them, still grinning like crazy, “That sounds like a good plan. But don’t set anything on fire…”
"I'll try." Bernon brought his hands together and a moment later they were filled with buzzing electricity. "Let's see, if it hurt others but doesn't hurt me…" he experimentally ran one hand up his arm, coating it in strands of lightning. "Wow. Hang on." He allowed the lightning to spread all over him until he was completely covered in glowing energy. "Hey, this is like armor. Nobody would dare touch me right now."
“Wow… I didn’t even know that was possible. That’s incredible,” She smiled as she took in the buzzing light covering her friend, “But how long do you think you can hold it for? Can you do other things while you’re like this?”
"Uh…" Bernon held his hand out over the shallows and tried to summon some water, but only succeeded in zapping the lake and probably electrocuting any nearby fish. "Oops. Guess I need some more pract–oof." The lightning fizzled out completely and Bernon swayed on the spot. "That's exhausting. Special occasions only, I think."
"How ironic that the pacifist in the group got all the cool powers," Mike remarked, watching as Bernon sat down to take a breather. "At least we won't have to worry about him abusing those powers."
(brb, back soon I hope)
Tanrial sighed and ran and hand through her hair, “That’s true. Well, at least we know Bernon can create some cool looking electrical armour now.”
(sorry, looks like I can't be on after all. I'll see you tomorrow sometime)
Mike glanced briefly over at the treeline, then did a double-take. "Hey…I see Snatch."
Sure enough, Snatch was watching them curiously from not far away. She waved when they looked over at her.
Tanrial waved back and smiled at her, “Hey Snatch!” She called out, lowing her hand from the wave.
(Don’t worry about it, see you soon)
Snatch came bouncing over, grinning from ear to ear. "Hi! What are you guys doing? Why was Bernon all zappy for a minute? Why are there so many more people smells coming from the other lake now?"
