5.

[It's canonbump time again, boys and girls, and that means Jolyne is on the Plane again, and she's horrendously bloody. There are still-open wounds dripping blood at her shoulder, leg and side - and another halfway down her arm which has been crudely sewn shut with her own strings. She's breathing heavily, clutching her side, and is seated against a large rock over in the beach area.

She seems to be trying to close up her remaining wounds, but every time she activates her stand ability, it only causes bursts of more bleeding.]

Shit dammit. Have to... go find that guy...

[She leans her head back against the rock, exhausted. Thanks to time stopping while she's on the Plane, she can at least relax a little after that last grueling battle.]

...This place truly never does fail to surprise me.

Hold still a moment, young one. I will heal you.

[ooc: placeholder, back in the morning.]

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Uh ooooooooooh!]

Stay still! I can help.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[She turns her head to the side to look at Ammy]

Oh, hey. Thanks.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

It's really not as bad as it looks. [Jolyne glances down where she's currently holding her side.] ...okay, mostly.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Frowns in concentration, and, if Jo can see them, blue rings rise around Isaac, and a moment later, the ugliest of the gashes start to close up]

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Even if she wasn't paying complete attention to that little show, she's definitely surprised to find her wounds closing up, and it definitely didn't *seem* like a stand ability... So she'll be staring at Isaac now.]

...how'd you do that?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Smiles] Psynergy. Hang on, I'll do it again....

[His look of concentration returns, and a moment later, a few other wounds close]

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Jolyne sits further forward, cautiously testing to see if she's well-off enough to sew the remaining wounds shut. Strings appear from beneath her skin, lacing together over the last of her injuries and sealing them shut.]

Damn, that's a really convenient skill you've got there.

[She rotates her shoulder and winces.]

Thanks.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Keeps smiling] I'm not as good as Mia, unfortunately.

You're welcome.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Jolyne snorts, wiping the blood out of her eyes.] You seem plenty good to me.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

[Slight blush] Thanks

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Oh lord that is SOCUTE.] So what kinda thing is "psyenergy," anyway? It doesn't really seem anything like stand abilities.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Psynergy? It's the manifestations of Alchemy.

What are stand abilities?

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Have a blank look] ...I definitely know I didn't flunk science, but uh... Alchemy?

Long story short? They're abilities back home that people are either born with or wind up with. Mine lets me unwind my body into strings... I'd offer a demonstration, but I'm a bit worn out right now. Stone Free probably looks about as shitty as I feel.

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Yeah! It can only be harnessed by Adepts like me.

It's alright.

[contract_star]

[OMFG.] Jolyne, what the...

[Cuts himself off abruptly, disappearing and reappearing with a first aid kit.]

I can help with some of it, but you're going to need a real healer.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Now she looks mildly skeptical.] So you can do that whole lead into gold thing?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Eh? No, I don't think so.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Jolyne just watches, then pulls her hand away from the wound in her side to check it. ...Nope, still bleeding. She puts her hand back.]

Usually I'd have F.F. around for that sorta thing. [She takes a deep breath and a cluster of strings pop out of her shoulder and try to stitch themselves along her shoulder wound. It's... not entirely successful. Wince.]

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Well, uh. That's the only thing I can think of when I hear "alchemy."

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

Well, it's been sealed away for thousands of years, so there isn't much information on it anymore. Even Kraden doesn't know much, and he's studied it his whole life.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Huh. Sounds kinda neat.

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

[Well damn, this isn't good. He's kneeling next to her to get a better look as be pulls out a healing potion] What the hell were you fighting?

[grand-gaia.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[Are you kidding? This is *normal*. Jolyne stares up at the sky.] Oh, just a guard, two stands, and some meteors.
