Suzy: *Looks quite unenthused.* You're kidding me.

@Stabby

Nope.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

Suzy: *Tries again, gathering a little more this time, but disperses it before I lose concentration. Continues to do this as a cycle, over and over again for the next couple of hours, my progress starting out as only a little bit more each time. But as it goes on my progress seems to settle into an exponential rhythm, and by the end I've managed to gather and disperse the energy quite well, making an aura each time.*

@Stabby

Alright, the next step is going to hurt quite a bit.

<Snipped quote by The World>

Suzy: *Gives it a shot, but at most I can only get it to cover my fist before losing concentration.*

@Stabby

Keep trying, but expel it all every so often.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

Suzy: *Loosens my restraint and the energy bursts around me like a torrent for a while before shrinking in size until there's nothing left to push outwards.*

@Stabby

Now try to build it again using the ambient energy in the air. It's a lot harder, but that'll give you a taste of the difference between your own EE and the EE naturally in the air. An interesting trait of it is that once it leaves a person's body, it changes into a more neutral state. You can't control another person's energy, but once it leaves them it's fair game for anyone with EE control.

I appreciate it. I'll remember this.

@Nimda

Cupid: Well that's not ominous. See ya some other day~

<Snipped quote by The World>

Suzy: *Does so this time, forcing the energy to surge around me without letting it disperse into the air.*

@Stabby

Good. Now let it all disseminate into the air. If you're a fire, burn out all the heat you can until you die out.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

Suzy: Oh, right. *Focuses, and after settling on a happt mood/emotion I attempt to continue from where I left off and start projecting it outwards over my body. It takes a while for the energy to fully cover every inch of me.*

@Stabby

Jack: Good, good! Try to make it like a fire with you at the center.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

I certainly will. Thank you.

@Nimda

*Walks you back through the door and to the entrance*

<Snipped quote by The World>

Suzy: *scratches the back of my head. I'll try my best to not do so again.
*Gets up.* So where were we?

@Stabby

Jack: You were practicing generating an aura.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

*Nods*
I understand. How long will you be stationed here?

@Nimda

For the foreseeable future. Send any friends you've got our way~

<Snipped quote by The World>

Suzy: Thanks. I'm guessing I fell asleep on ya in the middle of training, right?

@Stabby

Jack: Mhm.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

What should be my next step?

@Nimda

Whatever you want, really. If you come back in the future, we can potentially teach you some special techniques that nobody else can do, but right now isn't a good time for it.

<Snipped quote by The World>

Suzy: *I stay asleep for another several hours before waking up again, rubbing my eyes.*
Mmmmhhhhhh....
Huh?
*Looks around before shaking the drowsiness from my head and coming to awareness.*

@Stabby

Jack: Welcome back.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The World>

*Chuckles*
Thank you.

@Nimda

...

<Snipped quote by The World>

Suzy: *Seems to be dead asleep, with nothing else happening as any leftover energy disperses.*
