Sad Boi Hours (a character chat, run by a character, for characters, who are bored)Open!

Valerie: Grins at Nori's yawn You awake enough to fight?

Nori: exhausted, blinks and looks up. wh-what? Fight?

Valerie: Laughs and draws her longsword, blunting the edge with light, tosses Nori the rapier after dulling that blade as well, then simply stands there, watching Nori Yes, fight.

Nori: holds it, nervously. fight who??

Valerie: Her look turns devious You, of course! Lunges forward, aiming for Nori's legs in a slow blow that he should be able to block easily

Nori: jumps out of the way swinging his sword back at her. dude!!

Valerie: Laughs Good! Strikes back, aiming for his chest this time But rapiers are finesse weapons! They're meant more for stabbing and jabs than slashes and cuts. You could use them for cutting and slashing, but it's not as effective.

Nori: dodging it, jabbing in her direction instead. really? Because my 7 year old samurai phase would like to disagree.

(Damn, but Valerie is kinda psycho!)

Valerie: Laughs, and Nori's rapier is encased in light, becoming a samurai sword instead, with the base form of the rapier still underneath That better? She strikes again, chaining her attacks like a string of lights, laughing like a maniac

(AHHHHH!!! Spooky!!!)

Nori grins that’s better. and begins jabbing some more, a little nervous by Val’s expertise

(Yeah, despite the angelic appearance, she's a literal demon in battle!)

Valerie: Becomes an arcing storm of light, dancing around Nori's attempts to hit her, either knocking the blows out of the way or simply sidestepping, constantly softening her blows to avoid breaking any bones or killing him; although, he isn't too bad himself, even managing to hit her solidly a few times; all the while, the sun is rising, bathing the world in light and brightening Valerie's form and blade

(Ya know what, screw it. Here's the images of her swords and ring: https://s3.amazonaws.com/notebook-content-uploads/content/uploads/original/84340d5c-3065-4cb5-b0a3-7ca061a25e9a.jpeg?1638540572 https://s3.amazonaws.com/notebook-content-uploads/content/uploads/original/14883f05-1c8e-456d-bbb7-0673bd25a440.jpeg?1638540572)

Nori: holy cheez-its. Im gonna have to go to bed again if you keep fighting like that. He pants, laughing, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Valerie: Laughs, panting slightly No going back to bed. We need to work on those powers of yours as well.

(Dang those swords are cool!!!)

Nori: groans, slumping his wings and leaning on his sword thing. He then stands up a bit straighter. but… what if I mess up? What if I make another bad storm like that?? Hell, I didn’t even know I could do those things in the first place!!

(Thank you! I did not draw them, nor did my friends… I literally found them scrolling through Pinterest, lmao!)

Valerie: Her breath back, she takes the sword and removes the light from it and the longsword It'll be fine. At first, you may need a focus.

(XD that’s where the best stuff is)

Nori: scrunches his nose at Addic, then sighs, turning back to Valerie. ok. I guess I can do that. Probably…

(Yeah, it is! Most of the character art I have isn't even from my friends, unlike the one of Wren. Most of them are from Pinterest!)

Valerie: Realizes what it must have sounded like to Nori and sighs No, you don't need to mentally focus as much. You've actually got that down. What I mean by focus is an object that helps you channel your powers.

Nori: easing an eyebrow. a what? Who?

Valerie: Sighs, then pulls a dagger out of the air, cutting her palm with it then putting it back, gathering light in the same palm and mixing the two, her silver blood turning silvery-gold; slowly, the mix starts swirling in her palm until it's been formed into a dagger-like item, but flat on the edges where the edge of the blade would be This is your focus. Take it.

Nori: stares at it. what the actual fu-

Valerie: Grins at his expression Take it. When he makes no moves to take it, she walks over and puts it into his hand, the long side going into his grip, the short side pointing up

Nori: stares at it this came out of you?? A-and I’m supposed to focus on it?? he stares at it more intently. I don’t think it works

Valerie: Laughing No, focus your powers through it.

Nori: nods. ohhh. he closes his eyes, rubbing the object between his fingers, invisioning sparks and wind.

Valerie: Watches intently, feeling the buildup of electricity in the air; suddenly, a strong wind starts blowing and a bright flash of lightning emits from the tip of the focus; quickly, it shuts off Good job!

Nori: panting. hey!! Hey!!! I did it!! jumps around, flapping his wings excitedly

Valerie: Grins at his antics Yes, you did! What's more, you stopped it without me!
