A Day in the Life

[Xander]

It was just another afternoon at the community center. Asp lead her class as she had been for weeks, but one student in particular had been off since the start. Though he had been attending for weeks, he had never really struggled with the movements like the others. Every student had a learning curve, they watched, they fucked up, they learned, they got better, and then they finally got this shit right.

This kid had no learning curve.

He watched Asp's every move, then mirrored it with perfect grace. He was built like a toothpick, yet held his ground with a grace and speed the others couldn't touch. It was almost unbelievable. Except tonight made it perfectly believable. Tonight the lights of willworking danced before Asp's Supernal Vision as the student made his moves. If this had been the case before it was cloaked pretty damn well, and it might've been the case given his abilities themselves didn't seem to change. The kid seemed proud of himself, more so then ever.

Through the lesson he maintained a smug smile, which he maintained afterwards as the other students began to go home for the night. He lingered, he went to the bathroom 3 times, got a drink twice, checked his phone a few times, then finally they were alone.

The student

The student has a single active spell.

After 3 weeks of lessons Asp knows the following about the mystery student.

Name:Jonathon Butler
Age: Recently 18
Height: 5'11"
Weight: Probably low enough a small child could bench press him

His parents died when he was 9, and he's been bouncing around the foster care system since.

He works as a cashier at a grocery store.

He's sarcastic, confidant, and shy, but well intentioned overall.

"Thanks!" The kid gave Asp a nod. He knew he was good, that's why he was the one here tonight."I just wanted to talk for a bit."

Slowly he turned, and his feet began to progress slowly into the building. "So you've been doing this for a while huh? Teaching women and kids self defense?"

[Xander]

"Cool." He smiled and nodded, though stopped when he noticed Asp wasn't following. "Yeah, not many classes I need to take still. This was more reconnaissance."

The kid gave a head bob down the hallway before looking over to a pair of windows on the opposite walls, indicating more clearly the kids desire to find somewhere else to talk. "Oh, and I'm from the same place as you I hear. Y'know, someplace Sharp." The emphasis widened his grin ever so slightly.

[Xander]

"Thanks, and definitely." Jon continues his smile "Lead the way."

A wide gesture and step to the side give Asp the lead to the office. "So have you ever done much with katas and yoga?" Small talk on the way, but important to him at least.

Jon walks into the office and moves towards one of the seats. Before Asp says anything else he was already making his way towards one of the chairs. He starts to spin around to sit, and as he does the layer of willworking dissipates. Muscles bulge forth and fill what used to be fairly baggy clothing, and by the time Jonathon was in the seat it looked like an entirely different person was sitting in front of her.

"So here's the shtick." He wasn't really waiting for the change to register. "It's my understanding that Sacramento is fairly fucked. The physical abilities of the Perfected Adepts can help alleviate that to some degree, but I'm here to make sure you can do more then just beat people up. If you are interested in joining our legacy, I will instruct you in our traditions and beliefs, and in exchange you will be stationed here in Sacramento to initiate others into the legacy and grow our numbers if and when you can find interested parties."

A pause and he leans back in his chair. "So Aspen, are you in fact interested?"
