Sensory Shenanigans [Closed]
« on: April 16, 2019, 04:22:33 PM »
Inside one of the many training rooms at Beacon, odd clinking sounds met the noise of hits against a training dummy. Standing straight, a hooded woman stood a few meters away from the sturdy target – and oddly enough, with four chains extending out of her back taking turns to try and weave their way forward to impact it.

The figure was wearing headphones, the edge of them peeking out beneath the hood, but the rest of her features were somewhat obscured in her combat gear; somewhat reinforced jeans and a similar hoodie covered in little chains on their side. The clothing seemed a little damp; she appeared to have been working for a while, at any rate.

She would go through a pattern; the chains would start slowly hitting the dummy in sequence, then the process would repeat, sped up. This kept going until suddenly, one would veer off oddly, tie itself in the others, or even swing back around near the huntress-in-training to the point she had to block it. There was a quiet curse mumbled each time, and visible agitation in the now-hunched figure of Samantha Quartz as she attempted to get a handle of her chains again after her injury.

The damage done to her own body had been annoying, but she’d dealt with worse. What was grating on her nerves was the damage done to her implant. Unlike the rest of her body, the doctors didn’t exactly know what to do with it – even she’d had to figure it out through reverse engineering, but the large gash near the centre of the four circles had resulted in her not having perfect control of her chains anymore. It was like your arm randomly deciding to punch yourself one out of every ten punches; infuriating and possibly dangerous. It did only happen during fast-paced movements, but it was a very much ‘for now’ outlook in Samantha’s head; a tire will continue to deflate once its punctured, after all.

Another few misses and a sudden chain whacking her in her side brought out a slight yelp of surprise from the fox faunus, distracted in her own thoughts for the moment. The jolt back to reality brought along a frustrated growl from Samantha, before the four chains suddenly snapped forward to bind around the dummy, her semblance charging in their collective forms through the sound of their rattling before the dummy was constricted and torn apart with a screeching noise of her semblance release.

A few more moments passed, before Samantha let her fists unclench, one going to rub against her forehead.
 
“Shouldn’t lose control like that. In either sense…” She murmured to herself, tone slipping back to its usual neutral point as deep breaths brought her back to her senses, the chains continuing to rattle for a few more seconds before the rest of the stored energy dissipated. Letting them slowly coil back up around her body, she drew Staccato and Encore out of their sheathes, instead deciding to practise something she could control.

A little jolt of pain chaining up the metallic portion of her arm reminded her that might not be true too much longer. Gritting her teeth, she started up the motions nonetheless, determined to at least get something done during one of the rare times she had enough motivation to actually work on training.

Anna was roaming the corridors of Beacon, looking for a good place to train. That's right. For once, she wasn't going to hole herself up in the library for the entire day. She was going to practice.

Not that she really needed it, what with her semblance and all, but there were some things she wanted to work out too. Throwing knives, generally refining her skill at manipulating her chains and, first and foremost, trying out the idea she'd had after the switcheroo. Mauve's weapons had been brutally efficient for her. This is why she was quietly walking forward with two 2-foot long steel plates in her arms, although her chains jingled a bit around her armored forearms every now and then.

As she was stepping past an ever-so-slightly ajar door, the clangs emanating from within stopped before turning into some loud, nightmarish screeching the likes of which she had never heard before. Not exactly knowing if something was wrong or not, she rested her head on the door and used her semblance's second stage. Even like this, her field of vision to the inside was rather small, but she was clearly able to see a small, possibly? feminine figure using chains coming out of her back to assault a helpless wooden dummy.

Now yes, chains coming out of someone's back were a mildly odd sight to witness, but the weirder thing to Anna was the chains themselves. They weren't just rattling, it was like the chains were emitting another, entirely different sound that she just could not quite put her finger on. The odd sound faded, though, leaving her to 'look' in wonder as to what exactly that had been.

Samantha started up the movements of her twin blades, the weapons swung in an unheard rhythm as she practised. The pain in her arm quickly died down, and the motions got a little more fluid like they used to be, her breathing slowing as she calmed herself once more. Slowly, she started weaving in the chains to the motions as well - not quite the quick and decisive strikes from before, but more aimed for tripping or just simple annoyance to the invisible foe in front of her, building up a light vibration in each sword as she tried to work through the full practise she normally did.

Eventually, as she sped it up, one of the chains flinched slightly to one side, wrapping around her right hand and interrupting the motions - drawing a light sigh out of the woman as she let the charge dissipate from both weapons with a light, almost melodic high pitched noise ringing from the release of the vibrations. Standing there for a moment, she drew back on the charging portion of her semblance, deciding it was probably safer to avoid its use until she had a bit better control.

There was a brief delay as it went into effect, before she blinked in surprise at a nearby figure. Turning around without much warning, she tilted her head at the door and gave an awkward wave after a beat.

The girl(?) started practicing again, swords coming and going. The chains followed suit after a small while, less jabbing like before and more swinging, much like Anna herself did when she attempted to wrap her own chains around an opponent.

...Again, there it was! Some sort of low, barely heard  hum was coming from the swords! It felt odd somehow, like the noise didn't actually belong to the metal constructs. But suddenly, one of the chains veered off course and wrapped around its owner's right hand, seemingly against her(?) will as the practice seemed to come to an early end.

As the swings abided, the low hum was replaced by a soft, high-pitched series of much more audible harmonics that again seemed to defy the material they emanated from. What wa-

Anna's train of thought brutally crashed to a halt as the person made a turnabout, ripping an almost silent "Eep!" out of Anna's mouth. Her semblance stopped and she withdrew slightly, head pointing down to hide her face behind her locks of hair. Oh gods, oh gods, she'd seen her. What would she do now? What should she do now?

Gingerly, Anna pressed herself against the door to make it open a tiny bit more then puled her semblance. The girl - for her face was definitely feminine - stood there staring, a curious look on her face. In the meantime, Anna stood there for several seconds, mind and body frozen.

Keeping up the slight head tilt, Samantha gave another little wave over to them as the other woman made an odd surprised noise. Were- were they alright? Had they managed to hit them in the crossfire or something? A slightly worried look crossed the fox faunus' face at the thought, and she straightened her figure, sliding her weapons into their sheathes.

"Uh, excuse me, are- are you alright?" They questioned, the worry similarly audible in their tone, along with their typical slight caution around new people. Nonetheless, it didn't matter how typically shy or reluctant she was to talk - she might have hurt someone, and she at least needed to make sure they were alright. Taking a few slow steps forward, they started walking over to the other figure.

Anna's blank, deer-in-headligths 'stare' was interrupted by the sound of the girl's weapons gently sliding home. The voice that soon followed helped to dispel some of Anna's shyness, allowing her to answer a sheepish "I-I heard a weird sound..."

Oh, great. Just great. Could you possibly be more vague?

As the girl slowly stepped closer, every sound denoting the decreasing distance made Anna's entire body stiffen.

It took a few moments for Samantha to realise what had been said, more preoccupied with trying to see if they'd hurt the other woman - and all they could see was hesitance in their stance, rather than any limping or blood. Once she actually realised she'd gotten a reply, they blinked, before making an 'oh' face with their mouth.

"Ah! Right, I- sorry, my... my semblance is quite, uh. Loud." She sheepishly replied, gently scratching against her cheek in a little nervousness. They hadn't meant to disturb anyone, but Samantha supposed their semblance might still be audible through the training walls - Akel at the very least tended to get annoyed at the sheer volume of it when activated, but there wasn't much to compare Akel's hearing to except her own in the first place.

"Sorry about that. Uhm. Hope I didn't disturb you or anything? I- well, I could show you what I mean at least, make up for it?" She continued. Offering to show the ability in action should make up for any kind of disturbance they'd created for the other huntress-in-training, right?

The girl's reply at least succeeded in easing some of the tension in Anna, if anything. The fact that she seemed to share some of the shyness was pretty much a bonus, too.

But then she suggested showing the semblance, and Anna's face immediately turned to face her interlocutor's. Her hair, however, didn't move, meaning she now had a nose rising from a sea of bronze and copper. She was still quick to nod her assent, though the movement was smaller than one would expect from someone nodding excitedly - or at all for that matter.

Samantha gave a small smile in reaction to the other woman's shy, if enthusiastic nodding, holding a quick thumbs up in reply as she walked back to the centre of the room, inviting them in. "Best shut the door." She stated, raising her voice a little to reach Anna.

The fox faunus held her arms out before clapping her hands loudly together, then keeping them grasped around something invisible within. She then stood semi-awkwardly still for a few moments, focusing on controlling the building energy in her hands - her gray aura gently starting to glow in resistance to her semblance's backlash - before taking a deep breath, pressing her fox ears firmly down against her head under the hood, and throwing her hands forward. A slightly screeched and far louder copy of the initial clap rang out, resulting in a blurred disturbance of air smashing into several of the targets in the room as a shockwave, impacting them with blunt force and sending them backward.

After a short lack of reactions she could hear, Anna heard the girl turn and walk back to the center of the room, at which point she asked Anna to shut the door - which, after a brief 'oh, right, duh' reaction, she promptly did. Once done, Anna turned back to the lass' last known position and turned on her semblance at full power.

It started by a hand clap, rather loud. The girl quickly held onto something - most people wouldn't be able to see it, but Anna did. Within the bounds outlined by the girl's hands was a jumble of resonating sound, strengthening itself as every moment passed. And even as it did, the sounds around it gradually faded into nothingness, the pressure waves themselves dissolving before travelling but a few centimetres away. As the noise echoed in its ethereal cage, the girl's Aura started showing, a pale, barely-perceptible grey that surrounded her completely. ...Well, actually, not quite, from what Anna could see. Why was that?

Her train of thought was cut short as the once-upon-a-time clap was let loose, bursting forth into targets which were sent flying from the sheer impact.

Anna stood, wide-eyed and hair ruffled from the shockwave's reflections against the walls.

The fox faunus took a second to breathe, before looking down at her hands, making sure her aura had handled the backlash properly. Her usually-hidden fox ears popped back up, swivelling around slightly, before Samantha remembered where she was and quickly pushed them back down against her hair as they were before, hiding them under the hood.

"Ah, uh, yea- there we go! Amplification of sound into a... kind of kinetic... sound wave? Half and half?" She explained, slightly sheepishly over her own lack of knowledge of the active portion of her semblance. "Blocks my, uh, sonar while using, but useful to make things all quiet!". Wasn't like people hadn't seen the Vytal Tournament; it was generally common knowledge what it did now, so no harm in explaining a bit.

"It's- well, not much, but it's mine, y'know? So, uh- does that, that help?" She questioned a little shyly, tilting her head.

Anna's mind - and mouth - slowly lurched into function again while her semblance turned off. "...That was amazing! I could see the sound being kept in a defined zone, I could see the waves grow in power over time! None of it was allowed to escape and then BAM, it all flew out the front in an instant!

I heard you mention sonar, is there more you can do with your semblance?
", she asked, having calmed down a bit.

"Ah, uhm-" Samantha started replying to the babbled statement, looking a little bewildered for a moment at the excited description and just nodding along. "I, uh. Yea, strains the aura a bit but the longer it's contained or the more power I push into it, the stronger it gets, yea. Though really large blasts are a bit, uh, hazardous." She mused, furrowing her brow for a moment as she thought about the events of the tournament not long ago and the results of it. Still better than getting crushed, she guessed.

The faunus got brought out of her musing by the inquiry, blinking as she escaped the brief haze she'd been trapped in. "Oh, right! Yea, I- it sort of works by drawing in the waves I'd normally use for my sonar, I think? Or, well, draws from the same source, maybe? I'm not exactly sure, but passively I think the same energy I use just kind of... pulses about. Or I just hear things I could potentially use as sources for my semblance? More sensitive? Either way, it uh- it forms a kind of echolocation. Interrupted a bit during charging, but it's useful!" She explained, taking her time as she puzzled over her own abilities. She'd never fully grasped how the two interacted, barring that there was something there, but she was happy to try and communicate what she knew so far. Wasn't like it hadn't all been over television already.

The thought got another distant look out of the fox for a moment, before she pinched the bridge of her nose to try and snap herself out of it. This whole ordeal with her chains was bringing up too many bad memories, really.

Anna listened intently at the girl's voice as she responded. "Maybe it absorbs sounds like when you want to amplify them but instead of containing them in a defined region, it just translates the sound directly to your head?" Truth be told, Anna knew nothing about how it was supposed to work. Sure, it had some similarities to her own semblance, but that was only some similarities...

The girl's short pause made Anna reflexively pulse her own semblance to see what was going on - was she just thinking or something else? Turns out, she was staring into the distance, which, while not exactly common for people in deep thought, wasn't exactly uncommon, either. "...Something wrong?"

Samantha blinked at the other woman's words, tilting her head slightly in consideration. "Huh, maybe. Not a bad theory at all." She mused, avoiding the followup question for long as she could and only having to half-pretend to keep considering the current topic, before eventually frowning slightly and her neutral demeanour breaking a little.

"Ah, it's- it's nothing that bad, just. Got a bit banged up in the tournament by someone, my... implant got damaged, if you've heard about all that. Quartz girl and all that." She mumbled quietly, ears twitching slightly under her hood. "Since we don't exactly have a load of, uhm, bioengineers at Beacon available, there's a bit of a limit to what I can do to repair it, so they've been... acting out a little. Feels like my arms aren't quite. Listening to me."

She really wasn't sure why she was telling this to a practical stranger in comparison to trying to go over it with her team. Maybe it was the fact she seemed shy enough not to say anything, or somewhat trustworthy in her reactions; maybe it was just she didn't want to let her team down at all or bother them with her issues anymore. Either way, there seemed to be a lot of pent-up frustration in the fox faunus.
