Beach, lunchtime Thursday

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Tori had been nice enough to offer to teach Peter how to use her powers. Peter was happy to take her up on said offer and hoped to show his gratitude by bringing lunch.

So he was on the beach, bags with sandwiches and sodas and snacks in hand, and waiting for Tori.

[ooc: Peter's here for - wait for it - Tori. But feel free to use for other beachy needs.]

And that would be Tori arriving at the beach her mun finally finished with classes for the day.

"Hey Peter." She smiled and waved, as she made her way over to him.

Peter smiled and waved back. "Hey Tori. How's it going?"

[ooc: at work still, boss is his usual charming self, may be slow with pings in that case]

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good, you?" Tori grinned. "I'm excited for the workshops to begin and see who we'll be getting as new students."

[OOC: No problem. :)]

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I'm looking forward to being the voice of experience now," Peter said. "It'll be my turn to make people do double takes when I talk about mermaids and monsters."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah. That'll be fun." Tori chuckled. "Especially with everything that happened this semester. I imagine some of the new kids will be really weirded out." She couldn't help but grin at that. It would be fun to see some of their reactions.

"Tomorrow's going to be insane," Peter said. "Luckily we don't have any classes to get in the way of the enjoyment."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"It really is, yeah." Tori agreed. "Oh, that would just be one hectic day if we had classes on top of new arrivals." She mused. "But, I think it should be fun, getting to see all the new faces and attempting to break their brains." Tori chuckled.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"The missing school will probably help with that," Peter said.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Oh definitely." Tori nodded, smirking. "I still can't get over that."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"At least everybody's safe," Peter said.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'm really glad for that." Tori smiled. She was glad no one had been seriously injured.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Hungry yet?" Peter asked. He held up his bag. "I brought sandwiches. Or do we have to wait an hour after eating before playing with water?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Sandwiches, cool. Sure, why not." Tori shrugged, smiling. "No, not unless you really want to." She chuckled.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I'm new," Peter said. "I figure I'll listen to the experts."

He held out the bag of totally moddable sandwiches and snacks.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Good plan." Tori smirked. She grabbed a sandwich. "Thanks."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"No problem," Peter said. He grabbed a soda for himself. "Okay, I've done some water stuff with Katara. I don't know if yours works like hers does."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"It's kind of similar." Tori admitted. "Though I do have other powers." She explained (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tori_Hanson#Tori_Hanson) about her water power and the other ninja powers she possessed, due to training. "But what I use most of the time is my water power."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Interesting," Peter said. "Think we could try walking on water? That'd be new."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori smiled and nodded. "Sure, it took me a few tries to get it. But once you've got the hang of it, it's a piece of cake."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"So this is either going to work, or you'll have something really funny to look at," Peter said. "Maybe both."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori chuckled. "I'm hoping it'll be the first one." She grinned, standing after finishing her sandwich. "Ready to try it out?" Tori inquired, checking out the ocean, spotting a good part to practice on.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter put his soda can down. "I was born ready. Though something tells me I should take my jacket off."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori grinned, amused. "Yeah, you probably should. One time when I was training and used this move, I ended up losing my balance and falling into the water. It wasn't very fun."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter shucked his coat off. "Hopefully that water's warm. Okay, now what?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"It shouldn't be too bad." Tori nodded. "Well, the way I've used the move before is when I was training. I'd run on land and continue until I hit the water. I'd slow to a stop and then usually practicing my water based techniques. It's really simple." She explained. "If you want we can do it that way, or we can move closer to the water and go from there."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter thought about it. "Which way's easiest?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori thought about for a moment. "We could try the jogging part first. That might be a easier to manage."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I'm good with that," Peter said. "So jogging towards the water then trying not to remember gravity. I think I can do that."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Okay." Tori nodded. "I'm sure you'll be fine." She smiled reassuringly, moving a bit closer to the water. "Okay, ready?"

She closed her eyes for a moment and breathed out slowly, centering herself, to access her ninja powers. Opening she jogged at an even pace towards the water, moving her arm in front of her (http://www.mysticpoints.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album=695&pos=9), helping her balance as she picked up a little more speed. She made it on to the surface of the water and slowed to a stop, spinning around to face the shoreline.

[OOC: Stepping out for a bit. Be back soon.]

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter watched her, then did as she did. He tried to stay close since he had no idea how far he could go and still keep copying Tori's powers. Sure falling into the water would be a fast way to find out, but he figured he could avoid that too.

He made it to the water just as she had, then tried not to think too hard about what he'd done. He suspected if he did he'd ruin it.

[ooc: np]

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori grinned brightly. "Very nice. See? I knew you'd pull it off perfectly." She meant it.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Literally couldn't do it without you," Peter replied with a grin. "So are there limits that I should know about?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori chuckled. "I'm glad to have helped." She pondered his question for a moment. "Not that I can really think of. I'm not affected by the moon, like Katara can be." Tori explained. "But if you were to ever use this move, for any reason, I'd suggest a lake would be better suited, only because the ocean tends to get choppy and unpredictable at times. That might throw off the concentration."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Good to know," Peter said. "So... waterballs, huh?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori smiled brightly, wondering when he was going to ask about that. "Yep." She pulled a flow of water out of the ocean and formed into a ball, hovering above her hand. "I can also create streams of water to blast things with. It's pretty powerful. Technically, I don't need to be near water to use my powers. I can create it by willing it." She'd come along way from that first day of training. "Katara has also taught me how to create ice flows and other things out of ice."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Lemme see if I remember what she taught me," Peter said. He concentrated and pulled a ball of water out of the ocean. He smiled proudly. "Not bad for a newbie, huh?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Not bad at all." Tori smiled warmly at him. "You're a quick learner." She winked. "Is there something else you'd like to try while we're still here? Or back on land?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Back on land sounds good," Peter said since afkness was looming. "We can have some dessert as my way of saying thanks."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy continued to improve, but he didn't want to push his luck with his ribs. Instead, he headed down to the beach for a few hours of meditating in the surf.

He picked a good spot, close enough for the water to let very edge of the waves gently wash over his lap, but far enough that he wasn't going to get wiped out.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"All right, then." Tori smiled after coming back from a comedy Roast and dinner, omg and nodded. "Oh, sounds great." She made her way back to shore, not that it was a long walk really.
