nexmosnonlucror[There is a rather ungainly thud as a figure lands, hard, on the ground. Pale trembling fingers sink into the soil to push the boy -- no more than sixteen -- onto his hands and knees. He is breathing heavily, a thin sheen of sweat covering his handsome face -- but that glint in his eyes shows a tremendous amount of life.
Thin lips purse together as the boy lifts his head, black hair falling into his eyes as he forces himself to look around his surroundings. One hand is curled around a thin piece of wood -- thirteen inches long, made of yew, to those that are truly paying attention -- and the boy pushes himself back to sit on his heels, laying the wand in the palm of his hand, dark eyes fixated upon it as he whispers:]
Point Me.
[The wand does not move. There is the slightest twitch in his cheek as the teenager hisses it again:]
Point --
[But from behind the teenager, there is a louder hiss -- a snarl, actually -- and Tom Marvolo Riddle twists his body around to stare at quite the large rabbit, which is baring his teeth towards the teenager in question. His eyes narrow and he raises his wand quickly, flicking it slightly with his right wrist.
But, again, nothing happens.
Tom's grip tightens on his wand and, this time, he adds the incantation, and with each spell, his voice becomes more and more of a feral snarl.]
Relashio! Stupefy! Impedimenta!
[The rabbit lunges. Tom instinctively lashes out with a hand, slamming his wand against the side of the animal, before diving for a rock -- which he brings squarely down upon the skull, killing the creature instantly.
The movements have Tom gasping for breath, though, and a pale hand presses against his chest, and he hisses:]
What did they do to me? Where is it, where is my --
[And his body convulses as he doubles over, arms finding his midsection as he retches.]

Date: 2011-07-21 12:09 am (UTC)At least this event hasn't taken away my kenpou or my sword skills, if we run into something.

Date: 2011-07-21 12:12 am (UTC)You're really amazing, Negi. You can do so much.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-21 12:14 am (UTC)Oh, n-no, I'm nothing special... I know plenty of people that are much more powerful than I am.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-21 12:18 am (UTC)But what matters is how you use your strength, and that you know you have room to grow.

Date: 2011-07-21 12:53 am (UTC)Damn it --
[It's a hiss as he tries, once more, in vain, to levitate a rock. Nothing.]
[Offline] HEY DUDE SUP SORRY WE CAN'T HEAL YOU OR ANYTHING
Date: 2011-07-21 01:01 am (UTC)... Tom, you're only going to hurt yourself if you keep trying to force it.
[Offline] HI THERE EVIL OVERLORD WANT SOME DERP?
Date: 2011-07-21 01:13 am (UTC)You should sit down.
[Offline] oh god he is going to want to kill himself in like four seconds
Date: 2011-07-21 01:22 am (UTC)... I am sorry.
[It's quiet and Tom regains his focus.]
-- I am fine to walk. I simply have to be directed to a safe place.
[Offline] IT'S NOT THAT BAD, TOM, COME ON
Date: 2011-07-21 01:28 am (UTC)... we can take you to the clinic if you like. It's not far.
[Offline] Imagine living here now Tom...
Date: 2011-07-21 01:29 am (UTC)[Offline] He will kill himself and he is afraid of dying. 8|
Date: 2011-07-21 01:33 am (UTC)The clinic isn't necessary.
[Too much poking around could prove detrimental. But Ion's question causes him to pay attention.]
... I was doing an experiment. It backfired.
[Offline] God Tom why so emo
Date: 2011-07-21 01:52 am (UTC)You're ill. You need to lie down somewhere. The clinic is the best place.
[Offline] Life is precious Tom =(
Date: 2011-07-21 01:56 am (UTC)[He doesn't reach out again, but he hovers close.] If you'd rather not go to the clinic, may I examine you? I confess I'm not a doctor, but I may be able to help ease the pain.
[Even without his healing artes there must be something he can do.]
[Offline] CRAAAAAAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIN
Date: 2011-07-21 03:19 am (UTC)[He's lying, of course, because Tom doesn't actually know how to fix it, because all of his goddamn research is at the school. But anything, anything, to avoid them poking and prodding where they aren't wanted.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-21 03:28 am (UTC)[He's adamant on this clinic thing, man.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-21 03:41 am (UTC)If you dislike clinics, will you let us escort you somewhere less open? If my artes can ease your pain later, I will be glad to heal you, but for now it's dangerous to stay here.
[Calm, reasonable tone of voice.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-21 03:59 am (UTC)[It's distracted, absent.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-21 07:46 pm (UTC)... there are some apartments that have been fixed up. We can take you there.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-07-21 08:29 pm (UTC)Would that be acceptable?
