Crash's hand came back up as the top of the case popped open. "Take it," he said softly, watching Blaine intently.
Mike held it for just over two minutes before it collapsed inward.

Blaine didn't need to be told twice, he gingerly grabbed the mysticker my it's corner and brought it to himself, holding it in both of his hands as he looked into it.

Crash nodded slowly. "There's talk that some Blazers can find a Sticker that...I guess we'll say that it resonates with them. It's not positive if every Blazer has a Sticker, or if it's even true, but...well, you can see for yourself."
He looked at Blaine, waiting to see his reaction.

Blaine smirked and stuck Mirror on the back of his hand experimentally, "Well," Blaine started, "When I first heard about mystickers, I didn't really believe any of this, but I believe that this mysticker is something special, at least to me it is."
He smiled and rested his hand on top of the sticker before looking up at Crash, "Call me crazy, but something about this sticker, well, it just calls out to me." he laughed at the thought, but he knew it was true.

Mike thought about what he might have done wrong this time before he tried again. He figured he had probably put too much pressure on it. He had to focus on it, but if he didn't find the right balance it would just keep on falling in on itself. He decided to try out this theory of his and reactivated his sticker reforming the prism again watching it intently trying to see if it would be possible for him to see any weaknesses in it before it fell apart again.

Crash smiled. "Good." He let the top of the case slam shut.
As Blaine jumped back from it, Crash's hand darted out and he peeled the Mysticker off of his hand.
"But let's not be hasty. Mirror is a very high-level Sticker. It could kill you, if you don't control it right. Some Stickers, usually the high level ones, have...personalities, kind of. Some don't like to be controlled." He looked at Mirror. "At the very least, I'm going to hang onto this until you've had more training."
Mike saw that it was bulging outward, probably from too much pressure within. He hastily tried to correct, and it collapsed inwards again.
He realized that it would require perfect focus, amazing control...and lots of time.

Blaine sighed, but yet again, Crash was right, "All right." Blaine agreed, "Sounds fair enough!"

Mike felt like he was at least on the right path with this. He knew it would take him a long time to reach a full hour, but he was prepared to go as long as he needed to in order to achieve this. He activated the sticker again focusing on it even more intently now. He wondered how exactly how long it would take him to reach a full hour, but figured it'd be better to just do it rather than try and figure it out before hand. Besides he didnt' know if it might get harder or easier towards the end.

Crash stuck Mirror to his palm and held his hand out. "Show me that you are strong enough to handle this Sticker. Show me just how tough you are. And prove to me that I can trust you with this Sticker!"
He realized why he was only directed to create a small prism: any more would drain him. He was already feeling the strain.

Blaine smiled and nodded, "I will! I won't let you down." he said confidently.
He shook Crash's hand firmly.

Mike's mind felt like somebody was trying to beat it to a pulp, and succeeding. He still refused to give up yet though. He would keep going until he literally couldn't. Then he'd rest and start again once he'd recovered. He didn't know if this was the best way to learn, but it was the way he was going to try. He watched the prism carefully observing it's tiny little "heartbeats" as it pulsed inward and outward. He carefully tried to readjust his mind every time one seemed to go a little too far.

Crash nodded. "Good man! Now get out there and relax. We go hard tomorrow."
Mike was getting better, but he had yet to perfect the art of being quite gentle enough. The prism slowly degenerated with each adjustment, and after five minutes crumbled.
((Gotta log for now, on later.))

Blaine nodded, "Thank you!" he said before turning to leave.
He arrived in the lunch room shortly after.

Feeling exhausted Mike activated his mysticker yet again. He was happy because he had doubled his time from before. He figured if he kept it up he would be able to pull off a hour a lot sooner than he thought he could. He watched the prism again this time not making adjustments unless if it was absolutely critical.

Anatoly began to charge Joybuzzer slowly, balancing the power he fed it so as not to drain Skulltap's reserve.
