He puts more strength into the pull, gradually, to force her to strain even harder to resist being thrown to the floor. Then, it might be cheating a little but this isn't a sport. He blasts her in the chest to knock her off balance enough to complete the throw! It's a strong hit, but not enough to actually hurt her.

It's very carefully applied, without enough pressure to be dangerous, but the longer she took to figure out an escape the tighter it would get, so she would be left with the choice of breaking free or giving up. He trusts she'll figure something out if she doesn't panic, though. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

He watches carefully to make sure she's all right, and to see what she can figure out. He can't help her, but if Matt doesn't spot it he can maybe sneak her an idea or two. If she needs it.

She's hoping it's enough of a distraction to escape the grasp! Back to Top   Bio Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ... [send pm] Joined: November 2014 Posts: 3,701 Quick thinking! (Noelle, open!) « Oct 31, 2015 23:41:30 GMT -6 » Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top The tendril fades away as the distraction - plus him liking the move she pulled - causes him to let go! It wasn't the trick he expected her to come up with but it's not bad. However, he still has shadows wrapped solidly around her feet! She might remember him saying this power wasn't just shadows. It's not pitch black in here with the lights off, but it is dark enough to give him plenty to work with. While her feet are trapped, he lashes out at her from all around - including directly above and beneath her - with bolts and whips of solid darkness, many more of them coming at her than the barrage of shadow punches she sent his way before. He lets himself smile. Since nobody's getting hurt, this is a fun little exercise so far. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

No sarcasm, he actually thinks that's pretty cool, especially from someone completely new to his power. He's not going to just stand there and get hit in the face though. When her shields drop to allow her to attack, he takes control of the "wave" of darkness she's riding and makes it fling her towards the ceiling! If she doesn't stop it, she'd fly up until a "wall" appears above her and swats her back down to the floor. « Last Edit: Nov 1, 2015 0:38:31 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

"I inherited this power from my mom," he says. "She's like, a thousand times more powerful than I am, and she's been teaching me how to use it since I first got it as a little kid. It's all down to practise; just like your senses get used to working without light so you don't blind yourself, with enough training you're able to focus better on turning it to your ends. Better control over the power, more stuff you can do with it, the ability to do more of that at once. Good old concentration training helps too." He's been doing this so long it's sort of second nature, so actually breaking it down to explain it is a little tricky for him. Trickier than explaining how to throw a punch or lift a weight, at least. "Let's do this more often, if you like. You'll get better, and I think I can learn some things too, with how creative you are." Seriously, that surfing move was cool. « Last Edit: Nov 1, 2015 1:23:44 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman - Reason: Technically Aaron doesn't know her name! » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...
