twenty-first phase [ action ]

[walkinthruwalls]

[ Today you'll find one Kitty Pryde in the hallway. If you see her mid-whatever she's doing she's just standing there. She's trying something new out, at least to her it's noticeable anyway.

So what is she doing?

Dropping through ceilings.

Something she doesn't really do much as... landing's trickier. She's done a lot of walking through the walls and a little bit of ceiling/floor work but she wants to practise her landing.

Because if you see her drop through a ceiling on one of her many attempts they're not always that graceful. Think jumping from something high and landing on your feet crouched - it's what she's aiming for anyway.

And failing seven times out of ten. She'll keep going, and bruise herself up a lot as she tries to perfect it. Clearly she needs to work on her center of gravity, eh Brock? ]

[ ooc; feel free to run into her anywhere in the castle provided it's in a hallway. and drag her off to the clinic if need be, some of those landings are tricky ]

I have seen nothing like it. You must have great control. [Because it would be rather disastrous if you slipped up, by the looks of it.]

[walkinthruwalls]

A lot better than when I started anyway. I can use it at will, and on other people. [ And this time she's not going to ask. Galadriel doesn't seem the sort to be excited at walking through a wall, sob ]

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

[No, but she is the type to be terribly curious about such things.]

How, pray tell, do you use such a thing on others?

[walkinthruwalls]

It's done by touch. If I phase whilst in contact with someone it sort of passes it onto them too.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

Fascinating. I see how that may be of use. [Seriously, she can think of several times when she would have loved to have been able to do that.]

[walkinthruwalls]

Before coming here I last used it to let someone land safely after we jumped from a plane. It wasn't that high but high enough.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

A plane is an aircraft of some sort, correct? [Sorry, Kitty. You're dealing with medieval woman here, remember?] I should think it would be high enough.

[walkinthruwalls]

[ She forgets sometimes with how awesome you are ] Exactly right. And true. It wasn't all the way in the air but still quite a good jump from the ground.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

Might I ask why you were forced to make such a leap? [You do a lot more dangerous things than she knows about, don't you?]

[walkinthruwalls]

[ In one word? Yes ] To stop some bad people doing bad things. [ A little too cavalier? ]

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

[A little, yes. But she's not as freaked out as normal people most people would be. She's willing to send a hobbit to Mount Doom, after all. In fact, her reaction is rather strange- a touch regretful and a touch resigned.]

And so the task falls again to the hands of the small, whilst the might look elsewhere.

[walkinthruwalls]

There were adults with us but... some have the team had been lost. And we chose to go - it's what we'd been training for. [ Even if they'd not been wanting to let the kids go ]

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

[It's the "chose to go" that makes it okay in her mind. As long as everyone involved knows the risks, she doesn't have a problem.] I do not quarrel with your choice. You are strong and brave of heart- no less would I expect of you.

[walkinthruwalls]

[ Oh, you're making her blush ] I'm just glad that what we did worked.

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

[She's good at that.] I suppose I needn't tell you to use caution in these endeavors.

[walkinthruwalls]

Uh, no? [ She had been pretty daring in it, although not so much to be reckless ]

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

Good. I would not see harm befall you if it may be averted. [Look, just because she approves, doesn't mean that she doesn't worry.]

[walkinthruwalls]

[ Pseudo-mom! Yay awesome friend ] That's why I keep training, even here - I'd rather be prepared.

And a million years later, I respond

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

A wise decision, I think. There is no small amount of danger here, as well.

I actually thought that this was in my inbox :D

[walkinthruwalls]

Especially with what happened with Riful. Before when it was just the castle it didn't seem so bad but residents too? It's pretty scary.

Clearly, you psychicly knew what I was going to say

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

It is both frightening and foolish. I cannot imagine even those with ill-will desire to remain here; they waste both their energies and our own, when they might be better directed toward our common captor.

... Galadriel is in my brain. Projecting your tags. SCARY

[walkinthruwalls]

Part of me feels like that would be a little too good for them.

SCARY AWESOME

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

Of that I have little doubt. Yet there is no harm in hope, even if it be slim, so long as it does not impede action.

TRUE. I need a Galadriel to guide me and give me wise words

[walkinthruwalls]

Hope is always a good thing. [ Until, like she just said, you believe it too much and become naive, which Kitty sometimes can do ] What would you do?

Don't we all?

[inafadingcrown.livejournal.com]

What would I do? [You lost her. About what?]
