Mar 12 20:27:35 107 PA - Spring Showers
From Chronicles
The clouds overhead still churn, but the mix of weather they were dispensing has ceased for the moment, heralding Tirzah's arrival from the firing range. Carrying a large case for what must be a considerable gun she makes her way back to the gates lockers.
Galvin is relaxing outside Advanced Idea Mechanics. The cargo area of his ATV is open up and he has the space heater warming up the cold air. In one hand is a diet soda and in his other hand is a technical manual. He has the music turned up and is leaning back listening to some guitar based music. He looks and watches Tirzah as she leaves the firing range.
It takes but a moment for Tirzah to relinquish the weapon back into the care of the guards until next time. No empty she settles her hands in her pockets and starts walking back towards town. She meanders though, seeming to look for something to distract her for a while.
Galvin keeps looking up from his manual to watch Tirzah for a few moments before shrugging his shoulders and looking back down at the text. He leans back against a bedroll while he bobs his head in time to the music. He stays close to the space heater as it keeps out the cold of the weather.
Nothing jumps out to Tirzah's whim but why should anything jump out to the unvoiced whim? Left to amuse herself for the moment Tirzah looks up to the sky on her indirect route. The clouds open up again, letting the mess that fell before back down. Though none reaches her, becoming steam as soon as it enters her aura. others flee the rains for shelter again and Tirzah remains prestinely dry.
Galvin leans up to adjust the overhang of the cargo area of the ATV to protect him from the snow. He sets down his manual to fix the overhang. After fixing it he turns to look out side. He watchs Tirzah with obvious curiosity as he can see the steam appearing all around her.
BOOOM! Thunder rolls with the renewed storm but odly there is no flash of lightning. Though it does seem to foreshadow things turning for the worse as a light breeze picks up around Tirzah, scattering leaves and debris. She has stopped for the moment, looking up to the cloads in what looks like wonderment. Her lips are moving as if whispering.
Galvin flinches slightly at the loud roll of thunder, but quickly he looks back up. He leans forward as he watches Tirzah closely. As she looks up and looks like she is talking he gets up from the cargo area and starts walking closer. He is holding the hood of his coat to keep out the wind and snow as he approaches Tirzah.
The wind gets stronger and bitingly cold, buffeting around Tirzah. She did have the good sense to wander out of the way of normal landing strip activities before her little introspection on the weather. Though she didnt exactly count on anyone taking interest in coming to see her as it gets worse.
Galvin holds his arms closer to his body in an attempt to keep warm. He thrusts his hands in his pockets and flexes his fingers as the wind picks up. He keeps walking closer to Tirzah and looks up at her. "Hey are you ok? You need some place to get warm? I have a space heater by my ATV." He calls out loudly so he can be heard over the weather.
Approaching Tirzah will reveal she is quite warm from a few feet away. Searing hot, if too close. Faintly hearing a vice over the storm she turns, surprised to see a man approach her. Perhaps to late though as she begins to rise into the air and come to float a few feet off the ground. Concern mars her features, her voice lost to the ever increasing wind as she gestures to stay back. The wind about her gusts fiercely, scattering debris everywhere.
Galvin stays back, in fact he turns around and start hauling ass back to his three wheeled ATV. He has to struggle against the force of the wind and even gets knocked down twice, but he manages to pull himself back up to his feet. He runs over there as quick as he can, and only once he is gotten there he shuts off the space heater and quickly works to shut closed the cargo area. He turns his head a little to watch what is happening, but he looks ready to try to make an escape.
Tirzah looks reassured as the man runs for cover. Though once away from her immediate vicinity the conditions lighten dramatically to the simple snow sleet and rain of before. About Tirzah though the storm rages on and she outstretches her hands. Reaching up to the sky the tempest seems to call out its fury and two bolts of lightning erupt from each of her hands, their associated cracks deafening.
Galvin gets the cargo area of the ATV shut up and hurries over to the driver side door. His concern and fear doesn't seem to have diminished any as he watches with wide eyes as those bolts of lighting shoot from Tirzah's hands. He climbs quickly into the seat and starts his ATV up. He starts driving away trying to make it to his apartment.
