Junior Achievers Club, Wednesday (after classes)

[selfhelphero]

When the members of the Junior Achievers club assembled in the Danger Shop today, they'd probably notice that the room was already set up with some manner of destruction in mind. Or, at least, some sort of physical exertion. There were a few moddable targets set up, some with backings of straw, and others of brick. There was also an obstacle course of sorts set up, mostly consisting of hurdles, some decidedly taller than an average person even stood.

Evan was one of the two boys who was standing in front of the course, looking anxious to get started, and maybe a little nervous.

"Hi, everyone," he greeted, once it looked like people had settled in, "welcome to the Junior Achievers Club! Which is kind of just a fancy," if ambitious, "title for 'people with powers who want some training with them' club. This week we're going to try to keep things pretty simple, since we don't really know what we're working with yet, but we hope that will change soon so that we can really start exploring our full potential!"

"We decided to meet here in the Danger Shop so that no one has to worry about taking things too far, or getting hurt," Billy said, looking enthusiastic enough to cover everyone in the room. "We figured we'd do the introduction thing today, since it's our first meeting and everyone might not know everyone else. If you want to talk about what you can do, you totally can, and if you'd prefer not to, that's all right too. Then, the course is yours, to practice or test yourself or show off, whatever you want."

"Feel free to go a little crazy on the course," Evan added, smiling and bouncing on his toes just a tiny bit as he started to get into the spirit of the club. "Since we're in the Danger Shop, it can just re-build anything that you might break, and if you want anything in particular added so that you can practice, we can arrange for that to happen, too. We want to give everyone a chance to participate, no matter what your powers are!"

Necromancy? Evan's interest was piqued, at least a little, but mostly he found himself wondering about that other part.

"Hi, George, and welcome to the club! If you don't mind my asking, what is flash?"

"It's a sort of... channeling of power," George tried to explain. "It can look a little like a string of lightning, but you can also form it into shields and I know people who line it to the edge of their blades."

"Most magic users in my world have the ability, to some degree or other."

Evan gave a thoughtful sort of nod as he listened to George's description. It made about as much sense as he supposed it really could, when being described to someone who had never seen it before.

"Is that how you use it, too? Along the edge of a blade?"

George quirked a little smile. "Oh, I wish. No I don't have that kind of skill," he admitted. "That's very rare." In fact, it was only the Mar's who seemed to know how it was done.

"I use it mostly for shielding. You need far less precision for that sort of thing."

"But shields are pretty useful in their own right," Evan offered. "Is it just yourself you shield, or can that be extended to cover other people, too?"

He had all of the questions today!
