Clash barked a squinty-eyed laugh as Kalth made a comment about his always being this way. To what Kalth said next, Clash simply answered, “Well, I’m testing you. Barkeep, I might mess this place up a little bit.” And with that, accompanied by a devilishly cocky smirk, he began to charge up a large supply of self-replenishing, seemingly endless tao magic, which manifested itself as a blue aura, thickening and spreading outward by the moment with its conjurer at the epicenter. This blue energy fluxion pulsed, traveling through the invisible aether substance filling the room, lancing out about the occupied space like horizontal azure lasers which went in every direction, perforating whatever they came into contact with.
With so many beams flying all at once, escape seemed futile, except perhaps for Mori with her shields, though they still might be penetrated depending on their nature. Ivy would be spared, but not Kalth or the earthling meta, ripe for the testing. “Denizens of Gaea, brace yourselves!” He laughed, spaded dragon’s tail swishing back and forth behind him.

Hyperkinesis
For Hyperkinetics the mind's imaging systems and muscle control are perfectly in tune with the motor skills center of the brain. Hyperkinetics possesses flawless aim, perfect balance, and greatly enhanced motor skills. The human nervous system is a collection of separate systems working to make the body and mind function. In the case of the hyperkinetic, the two systems effected are the somatic and sensory networks. This is augmented by an increase in precognition, imagining precise possible outcomes.
The somatic nervous system controls the voluntary use of muscles. The sensory systems take in sensory data and process it. In the hyperkinetic's brain, both systems are much more efficient. The somatic system works more quickly and can react to stimuli better than most Olympic-level athletes. The sensory systems (usually hearing and vision) can process data much more finely, allowing Bishop to focus on the data pertinent to their desired action.
Last, there seems to be some sort of increase in the ability to envision future outcomes. When planning to jump over a short brick wall, the hyperkinetic can judge the angle and force of the jump necessary to vault the wall, as well as the probable energy required to land and roll safely. The hyperkinetic can judge very specific outcomes from physical actions. Hyperkinetics tend to have a deep mistrust in authority and typically resist seeking help with emotional and physiological problems. Hyperkinetics create troubling situations for themselves by not accepting assistance when needed.
When the young punk to the barkeeper that he was likely to trash the place a bit, the meta peek over his shoulder curiously as the punk blossomed with some sort of woo woo slith as his old walks of life called it. The punk erupted with multiple beams, perforating solid mass of varying composition in their respectively wakes. To the meta, the beams moved slower than they did for perhaps anyone else in the bar. An assumption at best. Regardless, he leaned to his right, adjusting his copper mug to keep it from spilling.
To his left, the beam aimed at him struck the bar top. Lito stood from his stool as he sipped from his mug, gazing at the punk with both eyes now. 'He's got balls,' he thought. Though it took more than balls to properly flex. He smacked his lips audibly as he lowered the mug from his lips, savoring the flavor of his mixed beverage.
"Watch'et," he chided with crass. His tone demanded nothing short of compliance. He didn't speak with arrogance, but with confidence no less. Whatever little test he wanted to run was fine and dandy, though he wouldn't hesitate to include himself if the young punk insisted on targeting him, whether directly.
