Felicia stood on the training field, dress in sweatpants and a bagging tank top, sports-bra showing underneath.

"You can d-do this, Leesha," she muttered to herself, holding her arms up. And then summoned her weapon--for a third time-- and fell clean over again, not expecting the added weight to her wrists.

"G-gonna take some...g-gettin' used to..."

Lydia had not actually been planning on doing anything on the training field that day, and had only been walking past on her way to wherever she might have been going, her eyes cast upwards towards the sky, her hands in her short's pockets and she trounced along looking like she might trip over her feet at any moment. She was, for that day at least, back to being dressed in too many layers up top, and while it was sweltering hot again on the island with the storm clouds having cleared away, she did not appear to be at all uncomfortable.

For not explicable reason her gaze lowered at just the right moment, as she accidentally wandered onto the training field itself while not paying attention. Directly in front of her was a woman, who's weapon was summoned just a moment before she was falling forward.

Lydia's eyes widened at the sight, her hands coming out of her pockets suddenly. "OH! Oh dear." She began to jog over, "Hi, hello, I'm Lydia!" A quick introduction seemed to be in order as she skidded and stumbled to a halt before crouching down and peering at the other woman.

"Hi!" She said again. "You uh...seem to have fallen down." Miss. Obvious. "May I be of any assistance?" A bright smile, though her eyes continued to appear concerned.

Felicia popped her head up, attempting to brush hair out of her eyes and succeeding only in bashing herself in the forehead.

"H-hi! I'm F-F-Fuh-Felicia!" She beamed, despite her predicament. "T-these weapons are just, k-kind of, too big? Still g-getting used t-to them." Her laugh was a bit like a bird's squawk: loud and the opposite of ladylike. Slowly, Felicia wobbled to her feet, towering over Lydia at a grand six feet and a bit of change, thanks to shoes.

"I c-could use some p-practise, honestly," she said, bashful. "C-clearly not used to 'em."

It wasn't really clear when the woman had been lying face down that she was rather tall, but when she stood up, Lydia actually took a pace or two back, eyes widening. "Oh my..." She whispered, faintly to herself. There was a definite spark of excitement to her gaze as she stared up at this Felicia, her brain becoming a whirlwind of activity, taking notes on everything that she could see.

Blinking, she grinned up at the other woman. "That is a very nice name, and if I may say so, you are a very beautiful speci---woman." She cut herself off and corrected herself, letting out a long tittering giggle that she muffled behind a hand that was overwhelmed by a long sweater sleeve.

Letting out a soft snort, she continued, the hand falling away to reveal pearly whites once more. "But yes, I agree that is a rather...substantial weapon." Her gaze lowered to take in the over-sized gauntlets, a curios sight to behold. How did she lift them? What amount of strength must their weapons lend them in order for such a feat to be possible?

"Practice?" She let out an excited gasp, biting down on her bottom lip. "Oh! Oh! I can help with that here, look!" She held out her hand, and the bracelet on her hand began to glow a vibrant shade of orange-red only moments before her cat o' nine tails weapon came to existence in her hand.

Taking another step or two back, she raised her weapon. "I'd never actually held one of these before myself, and even now I find wielding Rorric to be quite difficult at times! Just when I think I have the hang of it, I give it a go and..." She drew the weapon back, before lashing it forward, her pose appearing awkward, her style clumsy. The tails did not so much whip as they did dangle limp, their effect when brushing against Felicia's shield hardly worth the effort.

Felicia looked down at Lydia, quizzical. Had she had free hands, she would have self consciously covered her scar, and the nose that had been broken not once, but twice. (Thanks, family.)

"T-thanks," she said, appreciative anyway. "I l-luh-like your weapon, t-though!" And Felicia did: a whip was always something she could appreciate. The tails slapped her shield, and it was...strange. Scrawl grunted in her mind, as if stirring from a nap that stretched a thousand miles.

With a clumsy swing, Felicia pushed her left fist in Lydia's direction. The gauntlets were hooked up to tubes that led to a pack on her back, almost a pneumatic mechanism that helped power them. Scrawl was only moderately cooperative, but Nancy had told her that if they got along better, then he'd get lighter.

It was' that Scrawl was hateful-- he just...didn't seem to want to be bothered. The gauntlet brushed at the other girl's shield, but only barely.

"W-w-wuh-weird."

There was no doubt that Felicia's weapon, once wielded with more skill, would pack quite a wallop, and while Lydia was unsure if she wanted to be on the receiving end of that punch when it happened, she also wasn't about to back down from a fellow woman in need of combat training assistance.

At the other woman's compliment, Rorric chirped out a few notes of pleasure in her mind, and Lydia's smile broadened. "Thank you! He used to be a firebird!" It was clear that the blue haired death trainee thought that his was Very Exciting News, the way she bounced on her heels, her grin never faltering.

And then here came the Giant Fist of Doom. Lydia actually cringed away from it, though she had intended on standing her ground. However, the swing itself fell somewhat short, grazing against her front, pushing her back half a pace, but all in all, not as frightening as it could have been.

"That's great! And weird? Oh, do you mean the shields?" Maybe she just wasn't used to it yet!

"Okay okay, my turn.." She stuck a tongue out of the corner of her mouth, bent her legs a little with one in front of the other, her stance wide. Lifting the whip up, she swung it over head, and flicked her wrist forward and back again.

This time, the whip made an audible crack in the air as it lashed down on it's target, though it was still just short of spectacular.

"Y-yeah. B-but also t-hat it used to b-be...something? Someone. And now he's j-j-jjuh-just these."

Lydia's blow made Felicia comically windmill backwards, wobbling back and forth, not at all sure on her feet. It ended with a pivot on one foot to swing in-- clumsily, messily-- trying to cleave the large target that was 'Lydia's Torso.'

Felicia wobbled back, letting out a wistful sigh. "H-he used to w-walk the night. S'all he t-tells me."

Ah yes, that. Lydia nodded in agreement to that particular statement. "Not just those, though. He still has a voice, even if only you can hear it. He still lives." The smile she gave now was much more mild, it's brightness subdued as she continued to give understanding nods along with Felcia's words.

The gauntlet hurtling towards her suddenly had her letting out a squawk of surprise, and she found herself on the move, first attempting to dodge but then much more unwillingly as she felt the blow connect against her chest, which sent her windmilling backwards, ungracefully landing hard on her behind.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh ouch." She rubbed at her bottom before getting herself back to her feet. "But much better!" She was back to all smiles, jog-hopping back to the position she had been in before so that she could lash out with her whip once more.

"Walked the night? That's really all he'll tell you?"

"B-but is an int-t-tangible form of existence still life?" she asked, reeling backwards, again, from an impressive lash. "If I p-put your mind, in a c-cuh-computer, would you still b-be alive, as we know it?"

Felicia shrugged, trying to swing with her other arm and missing entirely. Eesh. Better stick to the left hand, for now.

"He d-doesn't words much. T-thinking, f-f-fuh-feeling, the r-river running, crickets, a f-full moon. It's like b-being there, and the moon's orange and h-he's free."

"Hmmmmm...." Lydia's face screwed up in thought as she mulled this thought over. "I suppose you make a good point! I mean, even in golem form, it is only our weapons consciousness that remains theirs, the body not really a body but...more like a computer as you say!"

And then she grinned. "You know, that reminds me of something! Have you ever seen that new Cap movie? Winter Soldier?" Her face was bright with barely contained excitement. She had Marvel Movie Knowledge, and it was all thanks to Chris! It made her feel much more in touch with all of the youngins running about~

When Felicia's next swing went a bit high and wide, Lydia ducked beneath, taking two steps forward before jumping up and swinging her weapon with a sideways lash.

"I w-w-wonder if t-they're artificial, d-d-duh-deep down." Perhaps FEAR was, in an essence, quantum computing? It was worth asking Dwight about, at any rate.

As Felicia was about to proclaim her love for Falcon's a** and bemoan Bucky's greasy hair, Lydia's blow sent her stumbling backwards. Felicia managed to recover before falling, heels digging deep into the soft earth.

"Y-yeah! One of t-the last things I saw b-before I went in and under. I love S-Sam Wilson so much!" And, with an excited fist pump, Felicia accidentally a whole uppercut.

"Welllll...." She began, slowly, wondering not for the first time how much she was at liberty to say concerning her own arrival on Deus. "They have been created by man-made means..." She shook her head rapidly than, and frowned, "Such a shame, really." She didn't say what was a shame, though. It was as if she were holding a conversation with herself more than Felicia at that point.

"Sam Wils---?" She began to ask, backing away with a raised eyebrow. She should have known that name! Oh dear, Chris was going to be so disappointed with her if she didn't-----

The uppercut took her full in the chin, and she went flying, up in the air, sailed several feet, and than landed. Dazed. Confused. Her a** hurting horribly. She stared at Felicia more with wide eyed surprise than anything.

"OH! He was the falcon one, right?" She smiled, pushing herself back to her feet, gingerly, but seemingly not at all put off by her short lived flight.

"Haha! Yes, I remember him. Quite a good looking man." She was grinning again now, and jogging back towards Felicia, she slid back into position with a wide stance and bent, nearly-knocked knees.

"On your left!"

And then she whipped Felicia on her right by mistake.

Felicia's eyes lit up (further), thoroughly intrigued. "B-but are they f-f-formed of inorganic m-matter? Or is f-f-f-fear s-something like cells?" It was an important distinction to make. She'd have to ask Dwight later.

"Yeah, the fal-"

Oh, god. She'd gotten Lydia good, but the girl gave just as good as she got. "Gee-gee," Felicia groaned, rubbing her forehead. "T-that was great! I wanna t-t-try!" Felicia crouched low, gathering up all the fear within her weapons. It felt like they were lighter, and the metal took on a starlike sheen, flickering from base to the ends of her fingertips with galaxial stars.

"Look sh-sh-sharp!"

Wham, wham. Two punches in rapid succession.

Lydia only had half a second to ponder the question posed before every thought was knocked out of her head by two walloping hits that sent her sprawling to the ground with a small shriek. Lying there on the ground, arms spread, staring up at the sky, she blew a few wayward strands of curly hair out of her eyes and then grinned.

"Oh my goodness, that was quite the delightful little trick!" She pushed herself up with her elbows, as in her head, Rorric began to natter on about he had tricks too, tricks Lydia had never seen and that she really should oh please please please....

For once, for the very first time ever, she actually agreed to do as he asked. Pushing herself to her feet, and dusting herself off, she bit down on her bottom lip for a moment and then spoke. "I'm going to try something, but I've never tried it before. My weapon...Rorric, he's very adamant..." Her voice trailed off, and with a look of concentration towards the whip in her hand, she watched as it's runes did not just begin to glow, but instead blazed to life, the entire whip, it's tails and handle, bursting into flames.

It was unexpected, but not as unexpected as the pain that came from flames that engulfed her hand, and she shrieked again, only this time in pain, her eyes closing as tears formed at the corners of her eyes and than rolled down her cheeks.

"No, no Rorric! Stop!" She couldn't let go, her hand feeling as if it had melded to the weapon itself. Was she supposed to attack? How could she attack, when she was in this much pain?

As quick as the flames began, they faded away, and she gasped as the handle cooled and she was finally able to release the whip, gingerly moving it to her other hand.

"I...I'm s-sorry." Her voice trembled, and a shaky smile touched her lips as she gave Felicia a timid yet apologetic look. "I didn't know that was going to h-happen."

In her head, Rorric was apologizing profusely, completely chagrined by the result of his Charge.

"We can continue. We should continue." She nodded her head, though she cradled her burned hand (which sported no visible injuries at all, the remnants of pain what haunted her now) against her chest.

Felicia tittered in response, although in reality, it was more of a guffaw. Girl did not have an attractive laugh, at all.

"T-thanks! G-g-g-good luck on yours too!" She flashed Lydia a double thumbs up and a grin, before swiftly clutching her own face with her giant fists, albeit gently.

She ran over to the other hunter, concern all over her face. "Y-y-you sure? We c-c-can sto--"

And then she tripped, swayed, and promptly fell right on top of Lydia, taking them both to the ground. "G-g-great job, Shephard," Felicia muttered to herself, too mortified to even open her eyes, and just rolled over onto her back, belly to the sky. "S-so sorry," she squeaked, and covered her face with her gauntlets again, hiding behind them. Christ, Felicia, tripping all over everyone. What a fool.
