Seventh Trial - Self-Improvement
Who: Alric and whoever, depending on the prompt!
What: Various bits of training and so on!
Where: Various places around campus
When: All week (8/9-8/16)
Warning(s): Not really expected!
Okay not entirely knightly, but sort of.
Powers Development (Shulk): Alric had spoken to Shulk a little while ago about meeting up to study how exactly his power worked, the better to develop new ways he could use it. He made a point to go to that meeting relatively early in the day, when he was well-rested, as had been asked of him.
Team Training (Tiamaris and Hijikata): Alric still had ambitions of getting his team (such as it was at the moment) geared up for really doing some good. A bit part of that was obviously going to be intensive training with Tiamaris. Alric had his own control issues, but Tiamaris was downright volatile, and was going to need serious work to get to a point where he could function reliably without risking a meltdown over someone saying the wrong thing. Hijikata's guidance would surely be invaluable, in making that happen, as well.
Power Training (OTA): Alric had taken to practicing with his powers out by the shoreline, where there was minimal damage he could do to himself, to others, or to property, if he slipped. It gave him an opportunity to safely push the limits of his control in every possible way, such as plasma-sculpting sand into glass figures to practice fine detail, or handling multiple plasma constructs simultaneously, or working on getting more acrobatics out of his plasma jets (which often ended with a splash).
Physical Conditioning (OTA): As much as it was important to keep his control of his powers well-tuned, physical fitness was important, particularly for a knight. Moreover, exercise had proven to be one of those things Alric found especially useful for maintaining that discipline he'd worked so hard on, and he regularly invested a solid chunk of time in aerobics as well as strength training in the school gym.
Choose Your Own Adventure (OTA): Alric has lots of other things to keep up on, including guitar and fencing and a long list of more academic areas of study in which his family expects him to keep up. Feel free to bump into him doing any of those in an appropriate space, or taking a break somewhere like a bay window or in the branches of a tree!

"...mm... where is 'home,' exactly, for you..? You must be here, at the Institute, for a reason, if it's not your choice; without knowing that, I can't very well make any promises. I can only offer goals you might wish to take up, such as the one we discussed... and that goal, if you choose to pursue it, may take a long time. ...still... perhaps you will have opportunities to visit home, during that time..?"

"...mm. I can understand that sentiment. But with a little more experience, you may even become fond of some humans, as well."

she pulled absently at her curls. Human-people could be as varied as tree-people? It was just hard to accept, even if the logic made sense.

A brief pause.
"...and, of course, the trees."

"..ah.. well. Do they have names, by any chance..? ......I don't.. really know how it is for trees, obviously, but names are of... some considerable importance, among humans."

No worries, she has like... none.
Life was so much easier back in Druma.
