Letting out a faint grunt, Cylus simply nodded to his hand.
"One more."

[spoiler]You can start developing TF'S personality. Just remember, he's more robotic. A downgraded version of Q really. Also, he will refer to Cylus as follows: "Recruit Pilot Cylus" Until the title changes or TF becomes more involved with Cylus [/spoiler] "We'll be working on Abilities today. Which are a bit more difficult than anything else."

Edited by BondyMilk: 6/17/2017 6:24:28 AM"Welcome back, Recruit Pilot Cylus." TF droned. Q, who had been recently installing his latest software update, rebooted and awoke as Cylus settled into the cockpit. [quote]*I'm gone for 1 day and you already replaced me!?* he blurts[/quote] "No Q, this is TF. He's my new Titan." Cylus says. [quote]*Ah, a Titan. As used by Pilots in the Titan Wars. I see you've come along well.*[/quote] "Indeed, I have. So if you'll excuse me, I have some training to do." [quote]*Very well, do as you will with [i]tin can[/i] here.*[/quote] "Q..." Cylus mumbles. [quote]*I'm only kidding. But just know you can [i]never[/i] replace me*[/quote] Cylus sighed. As he got officiated with the controls once again, he rose and began taking steps towards Marker. "Sorry about that... Where shall we start?"
-
"Draw your blade, and block the incoming damage." Marker pointed towards a Titan that rose to its feet across the clearing, and suddenly a shot rang, the bullet Passing overhead
-
"Okay okay... This time, not too rough." Cylus mumbles as he talks himself through drawing TF's blade. Inside, he once again retrieves the ecrisma stick from his back to get better idea of control with the Titan. Careful not to crush anything, Cylus tries the simple twirl in his fingers. And just as he had hoped, that's where it stayed.
-
"There ya go!" TF held the Ronin sword in his mechanical hands, and Marker looked at the Titan "Now, defensive position!"
-
[quote]*You heard the man!* Q blurts[/quote] In response, Cylus readjusts his grip in the sword and turns slight to the side. Slightly bending his knees, he feels as TF does the same. "Good job so far T," Cylus compliments. "Thank you sir," TF drones
-
"FIRE!" Three shots rang out from the Titan across the clearing, flying directly towards the Ronin
-
Edited by BondyMilk: 6/17/2017 6:47:14 AMCylus lifts the blade at an angle, effectively blocking the 3 shots. "How are you holding up?" Cylus asks. [quote]*Well given the circumstances*[/quote] "Not you Q..." "I am doing well, everything still runs proficiently." TF comments. [quote]*We've got to do something about this guy! He's so... Dull!*[/quote] "You may be right Q... We'll work on that some other time..." Cylus says. He turns and looks at Marker. "How's that?"
-
"Perfect! Now, there's a secondary ability that allows you to shoot a line of energy across the ground."
-
"Sounds fun, how do I do that?" Cylus asks
-
"The tip of your blade slashes across the ground and you point the tip at where you want it to go."
-
Edited by BondyMilk: 6/17/2017 8:02:34 PM"Just like that?" Cylus asks. "That's all there is to it?"
-
"That's your roll in it. TF harnesses the power of his batteries to actually do it."
-
"Cool! What should I am for?" Cylus asks, standing ready
-
"Aim for the Titan." Marker said, gesturing to the Titan across the clearing
-
Cylus nods, making TF do the same. He turns back to the Titan that had been shooting him just moments ago, raising the sword above his head. With one swing, Cylus brings the sword down and strikes the earth before him
-
"No, no. Listen, you slash the ground with the tip of the blade." "Raise the blade, swing it so that [u][i]only[/i][/u] The tip actually slashes the ground then lift it towards where you want it to go."
-
"Ah I see, otherwise I'm just hitting the floor." Cylus says. He readies himself once again, this time more swift in motion. He brings the blade down and sweeps the point across the floor, and raises it in the direction of the titan.
-
"THERE YA GO!" A pole like wave of energy swept towards the Titan, and it raised a shield that absorbed the wave
-
"Oh that was awesome! I can see that coming in handy." Cylus exclaims. [quote]*Impressive. I find it surprising that you didn't blow yourself up* Q comments[/quote] "Shut up Q, you're just jealous because you still don't have a body like TF here does." [quote]*Well who's fault is that?*[/quote] "I'll get to it... Eventually. Just let me focus here, [i]okay?[/i]" Cylus turns to look down at Marker. "So energy-wise, how is that in terms of management?" he asks
-
"You can lose your abilities an unlimited number of times. All you got to do is watch your health. Once it's depleted, you're done."
-
[spoiler]sorry, app wasn't working[/spoiler] "Got it. Where do I read damage levels on the HUD?" Cylus asks, looking around.
-
[spoiler]Yeah, app is broken for me as well [/Spoiler] "Very top." Sure enough, at the tippy top of the hud was a pipe sized display that was cut by a line through the middle
-
"Ah, reading it now. I'll make sure to watch out for that." Cylus says
-
"Alright, in the bottom left of the hud you should see a small circle."
