nysalogs | Catchall log for December

Who: Kale & YOU
What: A catchall log for December with a couple of open prompts and some closed ones.
When: All month
Where: Olympia, Wyver & Thesa Station
Warnings: None

Kale was trying to keep busy as much as possible. She and Misa had a residence in both Olympia and in Wyver for the time being, since they were undecided about where they wanted to live. Kale had a slight preference for Wyver, if only because the way they readily embraced fighting reminded her a little of her home planet. But on the other hand, she liked the idea of joining the Guard, even if she still hadn't gotten around to joining. She wasn't sure if she'd be able to go back and forth the way that she did if she had a job with the Guard, and she still didn't know how to present herself.

Fortunately, there was plenty to do, and plenty of odd jobs to be had. The fighting rings in Wyver were easy, legal money for her to get her hands on, which was a plus. While Kale didn't care about riches, she did eat a lot and was paying half of the rent in two small homes.

[Kale tries to think about that for a moment. Did that mean Diana met him here, but he'd met her? She'd heard about timeline differences with a few people, and it's always odd. But then, she was able to accept quickly enough that there were multiple universes, and that there were far more out there than the twelve she knew of, so why not multiple timelines? She even has a friend from her universe who can manipulate time, in a fashion. If the Natha can resurrect dead people, then what's a bit of time manipulation to them?

She nods at Diana's next question.]

Should I go super? Or are we going to start with weapons today?

Let us work on your control.

( which, yes, does mean Kale is free to go super. Diana has never experienced a power quite like Kale's — she is used to abilities that are there always, and the concept of heightened abilities for a certain period is new and curious to her.

once Kale is ready, Diana falls into a ready stance. the best way she sees to test control is practiced drills, increasing speed and power to see how well Kale could adjust her strength in the middle of action. ) Ready?

[Diana is an excellent mix of disciplined warrior but also encouraging. Kale hopes that one day when Caulifla is out of her pod that she can introduce them. A fighting prodigy like Caulifla would be an excellent Amazon. But for now, Kale simply wants to be the best she can be. She's relied on others and hidden behind them for so long that it was scary being the only one from her universe out of stasis. She's managed to make friends, though, and it's helped with her confidence at least a little.

Diana's steadfast belief in Kale's ability to get stronger has helped her embrace her Saiyan heritage. Her goal is to be both a Saiyan and an Amazon warrior, embracing Diana's traditions while holding on to her own.

When Diana tells her they'll work on her control, she clenches her fists and ramps her power up. Energy builds around her, pooling in particular between her shoulderblades until at last she transforms, hair spiky and blonde, eyes turquoise, and with increased muscle mass. Once transformed, she gets into a stance of her own.]

Ready.

( it isn't the first time, yet there's still something awe inspiring about witnessing Kale's transformation.
Diana is no stranger to magic, especially as some had awakened in her on her last days in Themyscira, yet nothing quite so utterly transformative as the power Kale weilded. her hair changed, her form grew, her strength increased dramatically — truly, Diana had never seen anything like it before, yet somehow her confidence did not waver.

control was the same, no matter how it was being learned. practice and pushing yourself, going farther each time and learning how hard you could push and then how much you could pull back. Diana was surprisingly unafraid that Kale could harm her, or perhaps it was more accurate to say that she believed Kale already had enough control that there was no need to fear it. )

Remember the stances from last week. We will move through those, with more force each time. From there we will work back again. ( Diana settles herself into a posture ready to meet Kale, a hand already up for the first incoming blow. it would not be an uneven practice — they would help each other. that was the best way to practice. )

[Kale nods, already sliding into stance. Increasing the power gradually each time is a good way to do it. The more Diana pushes her, the more she'll push back and gradually increase the amount of energy she's putting out while they spar. Each time she uses the super saiyan transformation, she becomes more accustomed to it, and thanks to Diana's encouragement, she hasn't gone berserk.

She hasn't reached that transformation in Diana's presence yet, and she's a bit worried about what will happen if she does. Diana is strong and capable, and her presence is reassuring, but Kale has only known her for a few months. She's not sure if that would be enough for her to stay in control. Perhaps one day they'll find out. But for now, the super saiyan form is enough to train with.

She aims a punch at Diana's abdomen, swift and smooth.]

( Diana did not have a transformation like Kale, there was no obvious change in her appearance that hinted at her strength. yet the more they worked together the more Kale would see it. Diana does not perfectly understand what it is to be a Saiyan, yet she is learning, and she hopes that Kale is learning what it means to be an amazon through their time together, too.

the punch is strong, though not the strongest Diana has taken. she takes the hit over avoiding it, letting the force push her back, leaving tracks in the ground from where her feet had been planted. she crouches, and leaps forward to retaliate,
an uppercut near the same strength as what she'd endured.

she wanted Kale to grow confident in her strength, yes, but she wanted her to also learn that there wasn't always need to use it. defense was just as important as offense. )
