[Sunny responds with a nod. Well, if it was okay. Any concern about food or not food is out the window when he sees the dog-like omen. His eye widens a little, intrigued by cute pup. He already suspects its an omen but when Mob confirms he start walking towards it even before Mob does.

Pet time.

But oh, the omen is directing them to its owner. That was fair. That was why they were here, not to see cute animals.

Sunny stops to let Mob get ahead of him, following him outside. He peeks out from behind him when introduced.]


Hi. [He's not very chatty.] I like your omen.
strongroots: (sound)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-01-07 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's okay, the good boy omen will stop and sit in Robby's proximity than wander off when it takes the other two to him. Some of the shadows decrease, but not entirely; its form is still masked as it watches this scene, of Robby putting down his hands and turning to the pair. ]

Yeah? [ Sunny, huh? He looks from Mob to Sunny, and then to his omen. ] Hear that? You'll greet a new guy, won't you?

[ Ah, an omen is being called out... and indeed, the shadows recede to show a proper pupper, with green eyes instead of white. It approaches Sunny and Mob, tail slowly swishing before he sits down.

He is also a very (shy) quiet boy. ]

[personal profile] good_mourning 2023-01-07 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[This form is also very good. Sunny glances between the pupper, Mob and Robby, before he moves in to give the good boy a pet. He gently pats his head and rubs behind his ears. But he does still hold some focus on the conversation happening, and he looks up again at Mob's questions.

Still petting, though.]


Did you not have magic before? [Honestly he still doesn't fully understand how the magic here works.]
strongroots: (lag)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-01-08 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ The good boy omen tips his head to ear rubs, a tilt this way and that. He doesn't get this attention much (out of choice), but maybe his tail is slowly wagging.....

But as for those questions, well, he can answer them both at once, pulling up the sleeve of his jacket. ]
I'm warmblood -- no magic. But sensei gave me his blood as this on Christmas, so I'm practising.

[ 'This' would be the black-blue bracelet he's wearing (no branding, of course). There's also some ice on his glove, which he's wiggling his fingers to get off. ]

Still weird, and I keep freezing my hand, [ said more with amusement, since, well -- at least he's got gloves on!, ] but one day I'll be able to do something with it for lessons.

[ Which he does look excited for, grinning. But! He hasn't exactly forgotten their new company and where they are, so, looking at Sunny: ]

Did you want to learn some self-defence? Or you still getting your head around this place?

[ Both can be true, if he's new-new, he might not be sure. ...and just here because Mob brought him here. ]
good_mourning: (calm)

[personal profile] good_mourning 2023-01-08 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes, Sunny has succeeded in getting the tail wags. He's doing good. The explanation for the blood bracelet is fascinating, however, and he is listening curiously to it. So far Sunny really only knows about Palebloods and Warmbloods.

He's guessing that bracelet must be made out of something entirely different than either of those. Then Mob produces a stone that keeps people's hands warm, which also seems to be something different.]


What kind of blood are those made of? [Assuming they were the same? Anyway- the self defense stuff. For a long moment Sunny is quiet, shutting his eyes thoughtfully as he considers whether or not he's actually interested in learning self-defense. He's so focused on it that he stops petting the good boy.

Probably would be wise to take lessons. He'd gotten into more fights than he ever had before recently, for whatever reason. At least maybe he could fight off some regular people. Plus it'd be good to build back the muscle mass he'd lost from just... not going outside in years.

Finally, he nods.]


Both. Still learning about this place, but defending myself would be useful.
strongroots: (radical man)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-01-08 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Does he want to warm up his fingers? ... ] Sure, why not, [ Robby decides with an amused huff, and he'll take off his gloves first, stick them in his pocket before taking the stone. His fingertips are red from the practice, and also the reason he's just going bare hands here. ] Thanks.

[ Let's get them fingers warmed up...!!

He would mention the stones right off, but look at Sunny and that eye closing... even Robby doesn't to interrupt that, so he doesn't, waiting until he seems to come about himself again. A small smile tugs on his lips, and he won't interrupt Mob if he wants to mention the coldblood stone(s). But then- ]


Alright. Well, Mob can help with both of those - having a partner's good for practice. [ And it seems like they're getting along, so encouraging that? Can't hurt. ] We wanna talk inside? I'll want to know what you're comfortable with when it comes to fighting: if you're just looking to get away than stick around, and if you've ever fought before.

[ Ah, and pausing, with a look at Mob. ] ... and if you have some powers already.

[ Like some people!! ]

[personal profile] good_mourning 2023-01-08 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Coldblood. Sunny was committing that to memory. People with those kind of issues were like elemental. Interesting. Seemed quite different from what he had going on as a Paleblood.

Moving inside sounds great and he starts drifting back towards the dojo's warmth. He stops at the mention of the blood magic. And, also the questions. Those needed to be answered, too. Would be rude not to.]


Oh. Yeah. I'm not sure what they do yet. [So he had no idea if they'd be good for fighting.]

But I've fought before. [He pauses.] Not well.

[ Very good tour guide, with the mention of the bonsai getting a twitch at the corner of Robby's mouth. Not a lie, since there's now a few bonsai making their home in the indoor dojo they're going into. Robby starts moving too, but if Sunny stops (???), he'll do so too with a look at the guy. ]

We'll work on both of those things, [ he reassures with a nod, something to do until they move inside, which Robby encourages with a 'c'mon'. The way opens up with a pair of sliding doors, soft cushions for sitting on on the floor and a light above head keeping the space lit. Robby removes his shoes just at the sliding doors, since....snow. Wet. The floor is too nice.

Robby's omen - once again getting wispy shadows, a less defined figure - has followed them in last, Robby closing the doors behind it as it looks around, and decides to stay to the side. Usually it wanders off, but since Sunny wanted to say hello before.... ]


If you're new to protecting yourself, there's some stuff I can give and show you to help if you need to get away, but you should pair up with someone when you go out. There's stuff that'll drive away beasts, but the other problems out there -- there's always something.

[ He's speaking as he's moving to sit down, taking a cross-legged position. Please, please, let's all get cosy and sit. ]

We can help teach you how to prepare for a fight and to learn karate here, and we'll help you figure out your powers and how to use them to fight in a way you're comfortable with. If you want to avoid one as much as possible, or if you're okay getting up close -- Miyagi-do's about defence. The safer you can get out or away from a fight, the better.

[Sunny follows suit by taking off his boots and putting them neatly near the others'. He spares a glance at the good boy following behind them, giving him a little nod before he turns his attention back to Robby and self defense.

He listens as he moves to sit down as well. He doesn't sit cross legged, however, instead pulling his knees up against his chest and hugging his legs.]


I did not like the ice zombies. [They were kind of a huge pain and also he almost died.] Buddying up is fine. Whenever I fought I always had at least one friend with me. [No complaints about that concept here.]

Getting away from fights sounds best. I don't know if my powers would help at all. [What with not even really knowing what they do yet.] But I'm okay with close up when that's not possible. [Sometimes, you could not Run.]
strongroots: (tactic)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-01-09 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ So, some experience of fighting, and not in Trench? Okay. Robby nods to Mob, and hi there, Shibe. Robby's omen lifts its head at the sight of the omen, a tiny single tail wag....

Hello, Other Omen. ]


Something different comes up every month -- last month had Santa Claus and reindeer and animal traps everywhere, and this month...ice zombies. [ Santa Claus is who deserves the wrinkle of a nose, but the ice zombies get it. ] It's good to check the network, or me and Mob can tell you if we hear anything -- and same back. If something doesn't seem right, you can ask.

[ But, speaking of powers and how useful they are.... ] You know what blood you have?
good_mourning: (blush)

[personal profile] good_mourning 2023-01-10 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Santa Claus and reindeer don't seem bad. [Those even seemed kind of nice? Definitely better than the ice zombies, anyway.

He nods at the rest of what Robby says, though.]
Okay, I'll keep an eye out and I'll let you know if I notice something. [At least maybe he could warn them about something going on if he happened to run into it first.

He looks over at Mob and his offer, brow lightly raised. Part of him wants to ask if he's sure, but even in the short time he's known Mob he can tell he's sincere.]
Thanks. I will.

[Sunny's attention returns to Robby, and the question of his blood.] Yeah. I have Paleblood. Miss Makima said it had something to do with emotions.
strongroots: (staaarttgh)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-01-11 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Robby sucks on the inside of his cheek at the Santa Claus assessment. ]

Try a horror movie version of Santa and his deer, [ he helps to clarify, since yeah, he doubts this was the jolly happy in a red coat variety. But Robby looks over at Mob at his offer, a small smile before he looks back at Sunny. Atta boy, Mob. The Miyagi-do style.

As for Paleblood, he nods slowly as he thinks. ]


Yeah, right. You're both living with Miss Makima? [ a small aside, and he looks back at Mob for as much confirmation. But after that-- ] Paleblood's telepathy and visions, playing with the mind. It's got something to do with emotions--I think you either feel what other people do, or it's hard. [ He's not a wikipedia, he ain't got every note on him.

But he has been reading up on paleblood, thanks to having a vial from Viktor. Got to think up combinations and all. ]


All blood seems to have something it's best at, like how Sensei LaRusso has coldblood, and you can use ice or fire with that, but I've only seen him use it for ice. [ The More You Know. ] There's also stuff you can do that's special to you, but I can't help you learn... I mean, [ he fixes with a frown, a small dip of his brow, ] I can try and help, but Sensei LaRusso might be better at that, or another paleblood? I don't know how to...feel out that kind of thing.

[ One's innate abilities. ]

But if we could figure something out, I think learning to confusing whatever's after you would be good learning. I can ask some palebloods, or I'll grab some info I have and put it together for you. We can work ideas out the more we know about what you think you can do.

[ Sound good? ]
good_mourning: (sad)

[personal profile] good_mourning 2023-01-11 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh. The Santa stuff sounds considerable worse than he had been imagining it. 'Horror movie' and 'still alive after its head got blown off' gave him a pretty good idea of what that had been like, though.]

They are tarnishing Santa's good name. [Extremely sad.

Putting that aside, Sunny pays close attention to what Robby is saying about Paleblood abilities and how they could go about training them, committing everything to memory.]


I think mine has are strongly tied with emotions. Since Mob noticed an aura when I was [a pause] sad.

We don't have to work on my special abilities, though. Learning to confuse things would be good. [He's quiet for a moment, glancing off to the side.]

Thank you for this. This must be a lot of work. I appreciate it.
strongroots: (mully mully scully)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-01-12 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ thank u, Mob. Robby does give a glance at Mob with his assessment, making a small noise behind his mouth like a chuckle. He tries!! And he's trying now to be helpful, listening to Sunny -- he should take notes for himself about the guy's powers. Not like he doesn't sometimes think of cool things Mob could do (and can already do...but sliding beasts around on invisible slippery surfaces??

You have to find ways to keep yourself entertained.)

But he gives a smile to Sunny thanks, edges tugging up. ]


Hey, no problem. I like it -- I'm learning how blood magic works, so this helps me out too.

[ He pauses just a beat, to help Sunny be assured before continuing. ] So, knowing it's got something to do with emotions is good. [ And, huh. Looking between the two. ] Maybe Mob can help us out. If he can see your powers, we might be able to get a better idea.

[ It's important that they both be on board, but he will ask Mob: ] You think you'd be okay with that?
good_mourning: (sad)

[personal profile] good_mourning 2023-01-22 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Everyone was so helpful. Neither Robby nor Mob minded helping him out here, and he appreciated that immensely.

But, huh, like psychic powers. That was beyond anything Sunny could have ever imagined back in his own world. They were like knives, according to Mob, and Sunny has to glance away at that.

You weren't supposed to point knives at other people. That was true but... he very much had done quite literally that in the recent past.]


I'll... try to be responsible. And not hurt anyone.

[ In the middle of the conversation the boys are having, there's a sound coming from behind one of the doors - not the set that leads outside to the yard, but the set that leads into Daniel's actual house, attached to the dojo. It's the sound of a heavy door opening and closing, probably the front door, quicky followed by the sound of rapid tap-taps, approaching the indoor dojo rapidly - until something slams into the doors.

Thankfully it's got to be something small, since it doesn't sound like a huge smack, but it's followed by up a male voice speaking up with a hint of exasperation and fondness at the same time: ]


You really couldn't wait two seconds?

[ The cause behind it all becomes rapidly obvious when the doors are being slid open, making a small puppy storm into the room, apparently not dazed at all from running into the sliding doors a moment ago. It seems to bounce equally excited in front of all the boys, but then stops in front of Sunny, tail wagging like crazy, like it's waiting. Waiting for those pets. He recognizes this one from the Omni!!

The puppy is followed by a slower Daniel, still wearing his coat - not that he needs one, but he doesn't want to look nuts by going out in public without one. He's shaking his head in exasperation, making sure to keep an eye on his Omen to make sure Sunny isn't bothered by this sudden attention. He doesn't seem weirded out at all to find the boys sitting here. Robby and Mob are here often enough, and Sunny is probably a friend they brought along. Daniel recognizes the boy from their earlier talk too, anyway. ]


I hope I'm not interrupting anything? [ He says, a faint smile on his face as he looks around the circle of boys, giving Sunny a special extra nod to greet him. ]
strongroots: (HER HER HER HER)

[personal profile] strongroots 2023-01-22 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah, good knife safety advice, Mob. He sees the way Sunny looks off, a bite of a smile on his face. ]

You don't need powers to hurt someone--I've done the same, too, because I got so worked up when I should've ended a fight. But karate can help you feel more in control with how you react, too. You don't always get everything right...

[ Robby ends up pausing as he hears the sounds of doors, a distant click and then--more. A more he's very familiar with by now, and he shoots the pair a look and funny smile as he breathes, ] We've got company, [ expecting a very special boy to come through the door...

...but he doesn't because that's too sensible, so instead: bong goes the other side of the door. Robby's brow scrunches in puzzlement at the small bang, but here we go, Mister LaRusso opening the door. He watches the omen antics as they happen, but gives his sensei a look and smile in greeting, only speaking up after him. ]


Actually, you're just in time. I was telling Sunny here - [ a nod to Sunny ] - about karate. He's interested in joining.
