re: new fire powers

[sinews]

 Stop acting as if I'm stupid enough to burn all my fur off. I can deal with this, it's hardly the worst thing to have ever stepped up to hurt me. Just another skill-set to earn the command of.

Practice makes perfect, relax.

Hey, Tygra; I'm sure the mun knows you don't act before you've given every thought to your strategy. [He was downright slow to act in some matters. coughCheetara.]

[sinews]

[ He's a pensive kind of badass, trudat. ]

You say that, but you're not the one listening to her wonder whether she should give me singed paws for a while.

[catlordbeyond]

Yeah, I don't think your pride could take that. [Grin. He means this affectionately, really.] How hard can this fire thing be? It can't take longer than it did to learn to use The Force, when my mun threw me in a game.

[sinews]

"The Force"? Which one would that be, the ability to apply forethought to any given situation?

[ All fun and games, yep. ]

[catlordbeyond]

Actually, it is, from a certain point of view. It's like magic in some ways, because it can be used to enhance or perform certain feats. And through it, I could see things before they happened. [He's managing to be serious about this, almost spiritual.]

Where does the 'fire power' come from? Is it magic?

[sinews]

[ Lion-O, stop ruining his super awesome special fire powers by being even more magical. ]

It's granted by the Twelve Gods.

[ - most flat, technical answer ever. ]

[catlordbeyond]

And they're all right? Not evil spirits?

[seesbeyond]

Burn your fur off? Is there something I'm missing?

[sinews]

[ CHECK IT, LIL' BRO. Opening a palm, a flame appears and hovers in the middle. ]

I can manipulate fire, everyone commands an element where I just found myself waking up.

[seesbeyond]

[OH SHIT WHAT. He just stares.]

Whiskers. Everybody?

[sinews]

Everybody.

[ 'Cept. Crap, he hasn't figured out how to banish the fire yet without burning himself, cue a lot of frantic flicking to send it into smoke. SMOOTH. ]

It made me wonder which you'd get landed with if you turned up. [ Hrm, to tell or not to tell? ] Which element would you prefer, Lion-O?

[seesbeyond]

[If everybody can do it, you're not a special snowflake, bro.

And that is kinda... hilarious to watch. Hey, at least he isn't busting out laughing. At the question, he lifts a hand and scratches the back of his head.]

Good question. All of them?

[sinews]

[ STFU HE TRIED TO FIND YOU and you suck because you weren't around, he offended all the humans apes. It was beautiful. ]

Why did I even bother asking? [ You're so predictable, rofl. Small smile to ... punctuate his disdain, yeah. That. ] As usual, you try and deal with everything at once.

[fixedtheomens]

I will defend with my last breath that burning is one of the most painful things ever.

[Yeah, guess who did that to himself a few times?]

I suggest a nice cold body of freshwater if it comes up. Salt just makes it worse.

[sinews]

Sounds like I'll be making a lot of trips to the Water District.

[fixedtheomens]

Eh, hopefully you won't need too do it too much.

[He looks up at the two threads with Lion-O and grins.]

He always like that, or does his Majesty only get cute for your sake?

[sinews]

[ ROFL SNORTS. ]

He is not being cute.

[fixedtheomens]

Are you kidding? He's all short and concerned over you, it's like a tiny pet protecting it's huge master.

[sinews]

[ Okay, Lion-O is kind of freaking adorable BUT HE'LL NEVER ADMIT IT. ]

That's how he is over everyone.

[bolastic]

Playing with fire, Prince Tygra?

[sinews]

You might say that. A way of conjuring and manipulating it, to be precise.

[bolastic]

Is that a power you've always had? It probably would have been pretty useful against Mumm-ra, though it's no Sword of Omens.

[or tiny bow on her wrist awyea]

[sinews]

[ Tiny bow wins at life. ]

No, it's an ability the gods of a different world recently gave me. Everyone there is "blessed" with an element to nurture in exchange for ... services. Mine was fire.

[bolastic]

[now she just needs a tiny violin]

It sounds like these services aren't exactly wholesome.

[judging youuuuuuuuuu]

[sinews]

I didn't have a choice, they abducted and branded me.

[ As shameful as that is to admit, it's the truth. ]
