[Don't get your little soul spawn's feet iced to the floor, Hawke, how rude! But hearing that, makes Akihiko realize something]
Oh, right. You got some of your magic back. You could in theory set everything on fire again, without needing a lighter?
[Should he expect firey trouble to arise at any point]

[ blinks at akihiko.
a beat later and something behind them goes up with a fwoosh of flame. egg wiggles around to stare delightedly. hawke wrinkles his nose at the mana drop ]
With effort, I could probably set a tree on fire.

[OH oh wow!]
Just like that? No need to wave anything or say anything...?
[Akihiko's experience with magic is very limited to that that can be used for fighting -- Persona spells, in other words -- so what he's seeing now is novel to him. It seems so...effortless, even though Hawke just said it'd take him effort to do more than this!]

As long as I've got my staff on me, it works well enough.
[ he'd probably have better control if he was holding it and not just using the orb as a focus but he can have this one (1) attempt to be a showoff. ]
It'd be far more impressive at full power but I suppose I shouldn't be destroying the place simply for the fun of it.

[Hmmmmm...]
Now I want to test mine and see how strong mine is right now. Not sure where to test electricity without causing too much damage around here...
[Also it seems a little dangerous to do that near a chao. Akihiko would never forgive himself if he accidentally zapped Hawke's little soul buddy]

[ immediately starts beaming ]
There are a few places that's safe enough. A number of us have had to see where our abilities have recovered to and sparring has been quite an interesting experience.

[ we will come back to the persona thing in a bit ]
Well then, to the rift we go. You can fight to your heart's content.

[Hawke were you the one who submitted a field trip for the swirly vortex thing of doom and fighting]
Good. I miss training, even though it puts my life at risk.
[And he hasn't gotten to go all-out at fighting...except against Majima and Laurence, and those don't count because the first one was a battle to the death Akihiko doesn't want to have as an achievement in the slightest, and the latter was a battle to the death Akihiko would like to forget.
Perhaps that's why Akihiko goes forward, and then realizes he doesn't know the way to the rift. He's that eager to get started!]

[ so where's akihiko this week? hawke is probably out somewhere hiding from the masses after............... well, all that but it's never stopped him from causing continuous problems so here we are.
he, for the record, is probably munching on a candy branch just because he thinks it's funny. ]

[ watching him waddle off with enthusiasm and uh huh's quietly when akihiko realizes he doesn't know where he's heading. hawke was getting there! eventually. ]
Off to find it on your own, then?
[ he's teasing. with tilt of his head he starts heading towards the rift ]
Maker knows the thrill of a good fight makes things feel more settled after all this nonsense.

Heaven isn't that big. I'd have found it sooner or later.
[He would have, but like three hours later. Heaven is big]
Yeah. I have been boxing with Marcoh, but I haven't been able to train with my powers since I arrived to heaven. I must practice or else I'll go rusty.
[Well, also there's thrill in it, he can't deny it]

[Akihiko is out here trying to decide how worthwhile it's to take a risk and enter the station gate. 33% odds of going to the smooching rollerskate rink seems high...
Hawke eating a branch gets a bit of a tired sigh from him]
There's actual food out there, Hawke.
[You don't have to eat branches like some kind of beaver]

But it tastes good. [ and the expressions are hilarious ]
Off to explore?

Something like that. I heard there's this...saloon place I haven't seen -- mostly because that gate keeps leaving me at that rink about kissing.
[And since Akihiko doesn't really enjoy the thought of kissing anyone, less any of you graveyard dwellers, he's trying to avoid it. Passing through that gate is such a gamble!]

[ the kissing rink is the funniest thing that could have happened to these old timers and unfortunate teens ]
This place certainly has a dark sense of humor about these things. You'd think they had an agenda.
[ YOU'D THINK!!! But Hawke will discard his snack for a quick stretch and an bemused eyebrow ]
Would you like company? Perhaps we can get away with confusing the gates.

Eventually, perhaps.
[ may as well spend those three hours fighting than lost!!!! ]
Maker knows I haven't had so much physical practice in ages like this. Magic is quite convenient but it doesn't require nearly as much upkeep as a blade does.

[Well given how yesterday went with that kiss counter, I think that agenda was fulfilled successfully!]
Yeah. Maybe if two people who obviously won't be kissing pass through, it'll finally open up the saloon. Just put that branch aside--
[Oh, you did! Thank goodness, you were starting to worry Akihiko a little by munching on candy branches, buddy]
We're ready.
[Akihiko gets ready to open the gates!]

You can't let that happen. Body and mind are connected, and I guess magic is a third element now. If you don't keep all three at full strength, you won't reach your full potential!
[And he's great at all three, somehow! Contrary to what the spinoffs' writing would make you think. I'm still salty over that]

[ rip, buddy. doomed by the narrative of fight.
meanwhile hawke's absolutely charmed by akihiko's enthusiasm ]
It'll be quite the thing to see how much we've all improved when this is all done and over.
[ all that delicious spinny rift exp is gonna bass boost them a few ranks at least ]

[ some times you're just full of chaos (anarchy) and like causing problems on purpose.
but the branches are good though. mmm, candy. ]
After you, then.
[ a beat. and ]
Though if we land elsewhere, I'm wouldn't mind using my powers for good in getting the doors open.

Marcoh trained me often. I doubt I could defeat him, but other than him I'm confident about defeat anyone else!
[In a way, defeating Majima proved great improvement. Let's be real, Majima had a handicap, but that still is an achievement. He credits Marcoh for this]

I'd take you on that offer.
[No rink shall block us!
Akihiko throws the doors open and goes in. Good news! It's not the rink. Bad news! It's the saloon. One glance at it kinda makes him regret coming here. What an ugly place]
This can't be all. With how difficult it was for me to get here there must be something more.
[Nope, you just got your hopes up]

[ smirks at him ]
We'll have to see about that.
[ spinny ronks reached, hawke unsheaths his staff and twirls it casually ]
Show me what you've got.

Well. It seems like the gates were just protecting you from unruly shenanigans.
