It's over like a comic book

WHO: Yang, Open
WHERE: A deserted beach in Heropa
WHEN: Oct 28th
WHAT: Yang sometimes has anger management issues. This is one of those times.
WARNINGS: Shouldn't be any, but I'll change it if they develop.


[Between the crap being spewed by the media, the sudden loss of her partner, and her complete inability to do anything about any of it, Yang feels like wrecking something. But without the usual Grimm around, the best she can do is to go someplace secluded and take her anger out on nature.

So early morning on the twenty-eighth finds her pounding her fists against boulders on a hard-to-reach portion of beach, relatively sure she won't be disturbed by anyone normal.

As she keeps going, fire begins to build beneath her fists. Wait long enough, and you may see her whole body light up in flame, briefly glassing the sand beneath her. At that point she stops and drops on her butt away from the glass, staring at the flexing of her fingers.]


...looks like I'm goin' it alone again.

[ Annie nods her head once, thinking that by now, friends is the easiest word, and true in spirit with Reiner since they'd both begun trying. ]

Mm, yes. Reiner and I have both been here since the end of April. Ken's the only one from his world at the moment.

[ One of those going it alone, as it were. ]

They can both handle hard hits, and Ken was looking for sparring partners who could handle super strength in turn. Not that I know if you can or can't... the one doesn't mean you also have a high resistance to damage. ... If you don't mind the invasive question, is your fire at all emotionally driven?

[ Annie asks as a means of piecing together a trend she had started noticing with Lunatic, one she hasn't been able to follow up on with other element users due to a lack of exposure or knowledge. She turns a curious look on Yang, but keeps expectation off her face. Being invasive meant being aware that you were rightly able to be shut down, and she's conscious of watching for people's boundaries. Makes more sense in the long run. ]

[ She does think Ken's lonely, but it's not a matter of her saying so or not. It's his business in the end, and pointing out a commonality isn't helpful at the end of the day.

She's interested in these powers that do seem linked to emotion in some way or another. Annie has to wonder if more people have a similar connection than they realize - it may not always be straightforward.

Regardless, her curiosity and interest is genuine. She leans forward, bracing her hands on her thighs.

I wonder how you could even test that.

[ "Strong emotions" run a full course of them, though examining Yang as she tilts her head to the side, Annie believes there's a good chance Yang is among those more in tune with how she feels. Finding extremes to feel through might be less difficult, if she's in the habit of embracing what she feels in a given moment. ]
