{Spoiler} Mission name: Its a secret Participants: Niso Konto, Lucien Benoit Spawning?: No Spawning. Niso will be teaching Lucien Aura channelling. Must be at least two pages with a medium focus on the teaching aspect. Mission details: Majorly a secret, but for the most part, circumstances will bring Lucien and Niso together, and Niso will teach Lucien what little he knows about aura channelling, and maybe get pissy when Lucien can do things with it that his aura is incapable of. New Skill: Aura Channeling (Minor) – With his aura, Lucien is capable of projecting positive/calming vibes as well as negative/unnerving ones up to 10 feet in any direction. These feelings are very subtle but can often add or take the edge off of a situation. Lucien’s main focus is on positive emotions / calming vibes. He can even expend bits of aura to heal small wounds such as scratches, scrapes, and mild bruises either on himself or a single person. Notably, he needs not only to be calm when doing this but also focused in a particular way.
With his Aura Sight and Aura Tracking powers on top of his advancing knowledge of Aura Channeling, Lucien is also actively aware of when Aura Channeling is occurring in his ‘sight range’ and can pinpoint the projector and receiver even from a distance. Due to his Aura Mediated Emotion Reading on top of this, Lucien can even get an understanding of what emotions are being channeled without necessarily feeling them for himself. To Lucien, Aura Channeling often looks like waves of aura moving out like ripples of water, sometimes linking people together and sometimes not. A heavier recipient of the feelings will often glow with another person’s aura for a little while as well, and Lucien can ‘sniff out’ the giver rather easily thereafter.
Notes: this can begin on the 8th due to the 2 month wait time.
Niso had been planning something a little…out of his league, so to speak. While he’d been using his immortality for more than surviving explosions lately, learning new things just because, hey, he had the time now, some things still escaped him…books stolen from libraries and Wikipedia pages and, heck, youtube tutorials could only teach a guy so much and so well, and with what he had planned for febuary…he needed to start now, and he needed to make sure he was doing it right. As such, he needed a teacher!~ Only thing was…he knew like, 5 people. Roughly. He may be miscounting a bit… Nik seemed to be the flowery type of person, but somehow he doubted someone with a fear for the outdoors was the type to manage a garden…Sera might know SOMETHING but given this was for her it seemed sort of pointless to ask her…Orion…he spent all his good boy points on knowing how to cook. Marcie…Niso didn’t talk to Marcie. They were like antithesis…that the word? Eh probably. She liked things controlled and organized, making sure everything worked in her favour…Niso literally fell in love with the most random element in what should have been a straight forward little job… And…lets not get started on Dorian. Mia was there but…the fuck could grow underground? Nah, he needed someone else to teach him, and given his intent here…kidnapping wasn’t an option. IN a moment of stupidity, just began cycling through contacts, some Marcie gave him for emergencies, some from back before he became immortal and had to get by doing odd jobs for criminals. One contact did stand out that he’d briefly forgotten about…Lucien…from what little Sera said he was a breeder right? Probably had to keep an eye on the environment and shit of his ranch too. That could work…and he did know where he lived after erm…ahem…tracking him down that…one…time… What Sera doesn’t know doesn’t hurt her. Still, worth a try. New years day and he made his way to the ranch, sitting on the head of his Dragonite, looking through the window, watching him sleep off whatever he’d done the night before. With a light smirk, he lifted his hand to knock…and thought against it~ Sticking his face against the glass, he started to pullthe dumbest face he could manage, drumming his fingers against the glass. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Years had been something, heh. Caravella already knew how to party, and at a house party in town, Lucien had managed to get very very drunk. Luckily for him, the owner of the house already had a couple Teleporters on hand and had managed to get everyone home safety. So now… he was just sleeping off the rush and maybe curled around Alamea who had been out with him that night. The tiny Lurantis would be the one who’s eye flickered open at the strange sound at the window, but when she saw just who it was, she was squawking and flailing. Lucien got a long frontal arm to the face a couple of times before he too started to stir confused. “What who huh?” Lucien groaned shifting away from Alamea to try and get comfortable again. She was too fidgety, however, and kept prodding him over and over. “Mea what’swrong?” Lucien slurred, but of course all he’d receive were her distressed noises in return. Gritting his teeth and slowly sitting up, Lucien looked around the room slowly— What. What the fuck??? Golden eyes blinked several times in rapid succession as Lucien tried to process just what he was seeing in the window. Niso Konto was making faces in his window. What— really? Man he had never hallucinated when hung over, but clearly this had to be the case, right? Flopping back down, he received another arm to the face and immediately squirmed away again. Ok, no. Alamea was seeing this too, so it had to be real… Or maybe she was the one hallucinating? Gold eyes closed briefly, but as his inner sight opened, Lucien felt engulfed by the darkness. Fuck shit, he was up. He was up. Golden eyes flashed open again, and Lucien was sitting up, throwing his legs over the side, and standing up. Several steps drew him to the window, and he stared for a couple extra seconds before slowly opening the window and kind of leaning forward on the windowsill. “Maaaaaaaan ya better got a good reason fer this…” he slurred. From this, Niso would get to see what a hung over, mushed up, shirtless Lucien looked like. He incredibly thin, and there were quite a few scars and markings on him that had persisted for longer than the fight— nothing major but clearly there. At least he had long pants on that he hadn’t managed to kick off the night before, but they were at odd angles at his hips, and a circular looking tattoo could sort of be seen at his hip if Niso bothered to look. Alamea, meanwhile, was scrambling up to the windowsill and making weak, uncertain noises. She was not strong enough to fight, Luci! Don’t get in over your head!

As Lucien crawled out of bed, Niso pulled back and away to stop pulling his faces, holding just a cheeky smirk as he sat cross legged on his dragon’s head, elbow on his knee and cheek in his hand...for a moment or two. Then he realized Lucien hadn’t worn a shirt to sleep in which...okay it wasn’t uncommon for him now that he had Sera but he never used to do it himself, and while it didn’t set his Genophobia too much, it did unnerve him a bit...fuck why did he have to have a tattoo there now his eyes were practically drawn to...THAT area. Uuuugh people were so weird. Despite a brief look of almost disgust as Lucien opened the window, Niso just slapped a hand over his eyes,and with a bright grin, spoke as clearly and as chipperly as he normally did, to the point you’d think he wasn’t just blatantly covering his eyes with his hand.
『Well ya see, clearly I think its a good reason otherwise I wouldn’t do it, but it maaaaaay not be a good reason to other people. Especially you, the person I woke up...oh well. I find this is more effective, give people a window to see me through rather than a door they can slam and lock.』 His grin perked up a little, not really able to tell how Lucien was reacting to all this and just hoping for the best. 『Anywho, I was just kinda hoping that maybe possibly sometime I could get your help with a little...project, I wanna work on? I’d ask Sera but it’s kind of a surprise for her.~ Valentines day coming up and all that.~』

Lucien’s brow quirked as Niso slapped a hand over his eyes. What man? Looking down at his chest very briefly before looking up again, Lucien shrugged. Fuck if he cared whatever was going through this kid’s head. As the explanation hit the air, however, Lucien blinked slowly. Niso had… such a weird round-about way of talking, and Lucien might honestly have been amused by it had his head not been pounding and the desire for him to get to the fucking point rising pretty quickly— Ah. Huh? Huh… A project? A surprise project for Sera? Dude it was like Jan 1st. Who in hell was preparing for— Lucien groaned reaching up and rubbing the side of his face. He knew he was too hung over for this, but if Niso was doing something cutesy rather than fucked up then… “Yeah?” Lucien asked before leaning back up off the windowsill and making a hand gesture for Niso to come ‘in’. Alamea squeaked in protest but was quicker to hop onto a nearby dresser than bar the way of this strange manic child. “Yaw nana tell me ‘bout it ovah coffee ‘r somethin’?” He yawned once and started over to his closet, yanking a long sleeved shirt off the hanger and pulling it on (not cause Niso was disgusted but because it was cold, duh).

Niso was oblivious to the hand guiding him in, but as Lucien’s voice got further away he did peek through his fingers in time to see him getting a shirt, smiling softly and patting the side of Karlak’s head before easing his way in through the window, giving the tiny pokemon on the dresser a quiet wave before turning his eyes back to the dressed Lucien, he himself wearing the blue high collared jacket he’d been sporting lately rather than his usual black. With the offer of coffee…
『No thanks. I don’t wanna get addicted so I’ve never tried it~』 Which was his philosophy on a lot of things, Dorian had convinced him to drink once but he kept quietly spitting it back out or handing the bottles to Bruce to drink when Dorian wasn’t looking. 『Buuuut before I can tell you I wanna know if you can even help...did you grow those berry trees I saw on the way over here? Or like, look after them at least? Its kinda why I even thought to ask you in the first place so it’s pretty important.』

Don’t wanna get addicted so he never tried it? “Bruh that’s like—“ Lucien reached up and mushed his own hair a bit searching for a word and failing to find it before Niso had gone on. Eh, whatever. Mmmmm??? The question had him blinking a couple of times slowly. “Yeah ah take care ‘f those ‘n all tha othar plants used fer fodder ‘round ‘ere. Keeps tha cost ‘f keepin’ so many Pokemon down,” he explained stretching slowly. “Ya lookin’ fer somethin’ specific ta grow?” Niso didn’t look like the type of person who knew one berry from another let alone how to tend to plants but… Luci may have also just been scrutinizing as fuck for obvious reasons too. Mmmm Lucien did want coffee though even if Niso didn’t. Waving Niso on again and starting out of his room and down the stairs, Lucien looked back to make sure he was following him before proceeding on. Alamea was quick to hop down from the dresser and follow at his heels. She wasn’t about to let him out of her sights with this … particular human around.

Niso tipped his head to the side, confused about the unfinished sentance but...eh. He seemed fine to leave it hanging there and Niso hadn’t come to debate his weird logic with someone. That’s what he had visits from Mia and Nik for. As it went on to the topic he really wanted to discuss, he nodded very quickly, clearly a little excited that he’d found the right guy in Lucien and clasping his own hands together tight.
『Well I was thinking maybe a rose, since I read they can take 6 weeks to mature, but I dunno if I could grow that into something…’presentable’ by valentines day. It’d probably be a lot more complex too given its a tree and stuff.』
Following behind as they made their way downstairs, going on about his idea, or, rather, prompting Lucien to ask more as he admitted to why he so desperately needed help on this, speeking with a tone a little too chipper for the topic. 『You know the wasteland right? Grey, lifeless circle of land really close to my home? Reason I’m unkillable and all that jazz?~』

A rose bush? Hmmmm. Lucien chewed the inside of his mouth as he considered that. If he remembered right, those were best planted in the spring, and technically it was still winter but he guessed if they started it in a greenhouse or something, that could work? Or maybe they could find a berry that looked like a rose? Man, he could call Jen up and— You know the Wasteland right? Grey, lifeless circle of land really close to my home? Reason I’m unkillable and all that jazz? Golden eyes shot up and held Niso’s dark ones with a rather sudden intensity. “Tha place ya turned ta dust,” he answered with a frown. “Yeah I know it” He’d been there with Thomas once and seen for himself the cold lifelessness that remained. For a few seconds, he felt the desire to punch Niso across the face for even mentioning it, but… he was tired and hung over and ugh… Yellow eyes flickered forward, and Lucien took another couple of steps to the first floor. “What ‘f et?”

『That’d be the one! Yup!~』 Still far too chipper for anyone to rightly be comfortable with, Niso held an almost proud grin. He had always had a soft spot for the wasteland, part of why he moved so close to it. He had strong pokemon to protect his home and barely any trainers came out there after the initial ballsy trip, plus, Bruce could go hunting to his hearts content, all the prey was challenging, and an asshole, so win win.
With further prompting, he rubbed his hands together wondering how to word this, jumping down the last 3 steps of the stairs and humming idly to himself. 『Well...I know it won’t be easy but...I wanna...I wanna show Sera I can do things that are good and...so...I wanna see if I can make something grow in the wasteland for her...for valentines day…』
He stopped as they got to the kitchen doorway, lowering his eyes and ruffling his own hair. He knew it was probably impossible but...he wanted to pull it off for her...and on some level, for his own sake.

Lucien frowned as he walked into the kitchen. I wanna see if I can make something grow in the wasteland. Hah…after all he did to that place? Grumbling softly, Lucien pulled the coffee pot out of its maker and ran it over with water from the sink in silence. Once he filled it with water and started back to the maker, however, Lucien stopped and stared hard at Niso. “Ya know ya can’t jus’ fix stuff like that,” he huffed setting the coffee pot down on the countertop instead. “All the aura ‘n that area’s been drained ‘n ‘ts like a void aside fr’m tha antsy Pokemon that’ve c’me inta it.”

『I...I know...』 He ruffled his hair a little harder, the usual storm in his head getting louder as it kept telling him how, no matter what excuses he made this was probably impossible! 『I was just...thinking maybe if we introduced foreign soil or...or if i just made sure I watered it enough or...aaaah!』 He ruffled his hair to the point he would have started to knock strands loose if they didn’t just immediately grow back, grumbling a little at himself as someone else pointed out the flaws he already knew.
『I get that it seems impossible but...I have to try. I wanna...I wanna show Sera and...and me that I can be fine without...blowing things up all the time...I mean I still WANT to do that but...』 He was not helping his case here in the slightest, groaning and gripping the hair on each side of his head before his arms finally gave up and hung at his sides.
『I kept thinking maybe I could...give just some of the aura back. SOME but...my mentor says its impossible. I know how to channel my aura but if I even TRY and heal anything I just end up causing more harm...』

Lucien frowned. Even without his Aura Sight on, it was evident Niso was perturbed. How far could he push this without getting thrown up against a wall and finding his throat slashed? (Hah, probably reasonably far considering what he knew now supposedly, but even if he didn’t….) Harsh, cutting, blunt words were already building up on the tip of his tongue, but what came after, however, had Lucien stopping short. Show Sera and me that I can be fine… Oh this was… Give just some of the aura back… Hah if he just— Even if I try and heal anything I just end up causing more harm…— Oh. As much as he hated to, as much as he didn’t want to, Lucien slowly forced open his mind’s eye and found himself staring at Niso’s tormented aura again. The endless blackness of it and the way it shifted had his stomach tightening, but he forced his gaze to focus on it for more than a few seconds now. It’s toxic? This should not have come as a surprise considering what it looked like, but realizing it now was bringing up other thoughts. But— wait a fucking second— “You c’n use aura?” he snapped in disbelief.

Niso’s eyes lifted back up at the rather snappy question, quirking an eyebrow. Had he...not...huh. He guessed he’d been a little too worried about drawing attention away from Sera’s contest that he’d never thought to try and use his aura to scare Lucien off. Huh...Niso gave just a quiet nod and lifted his arm out, coating it in his thicker black aura as his other hand rested casually in his pocket. Usually he displayed his whole aura, or a thick coat over his entire body, but not wanting to creep Lucien out this time, he just coated his arm. Even if Lucien still had his third eye ‘on’, the aura around his arm would looked condensed and thicker as he displayed it.
『Yeah...some lanky old guy with black hair tracked me down once and taught me how to use it...apparently with how wild my aura is it’d difficult to do anything more than the basics, but i can display it and...well. When it’s as big as mine thats one hell of an intimidation tactic huh?~』
Waving his arm the black aura dissipated like he’d just blown out a flame covering his arm, lowering it back to his side and tipping his head to the side. 『Like I said though...pretty useless as far as this is concerned...』

Fucking???? If Lucien had been holding the coffee pot, he most certainly would have dropped it. Instead, his hands kind of fidgeted at his sides as his eyes reflected the dark aura on Niso’s arms. How?? How could he— Why could he— Lucien’s eyes flicked away, but he grabbed the drawer a little too hard as he found a coffee packet and started filling the coffee maker with it. Some lanky old guy— That wasn’t a good description, but maybe Viola knew him? Or knew of him.Either way, he wanted to punch him for it too. Too big and wild to do much with it beyond the basics… So… he might not be able to use it beyond that? Lucien chewed the inside of his mouth as he pulled apart the packet and put it in the maker, pouring water in the correct spot before flicking it on. “Yer fuckin’ stupid then,” he huffed softly, both hands curling on the counter. “Aura’s so much moar then jus’….” The minor headache was starting to become a major one, and he shook his head to clear it. “Et’s life,” he emphasized looking back at Niso. “Usin’ ‘n manipulatin’ life.” And in this case the hundreds of souls inside Niso. Fucking hell.

Niso...wasn’t too sure what he was being called stupid for. For learning aura? For thinking it was useless beyond what he’d almost disregardingly label ‘party tricks’? Lucien didn’t make it too clear either way, but Niso’s brow was furrowed enough to tell him he didn’t like being called that. He didn’t see Lucien figuring out how to cheat death itself any time soon, and if he had to guess he was one of the few kids in the region to actually stay with education beyond the age of sixteen, and be pretty good at it. Fucking stupid. Crossing his arms he’d mumble off to the side.
『You’re stupid...』
Shaking his head, he knew that wouldn’t get him anywhere and looked back at Lucien. 『Well least I tried...I could maybe kidnap someone who can use aura...teach them how to channel, get THEM to do it, but I kinda wanna keep the whole ‘illegally forcing someone to help me against their will’』 Literal airquotes included 『Out of this...if I could channel my own aura into the plants I would but I can’t...I thought about asking a friend if he knows anyone who can use aura but apparently he’s VERY touchy about aura users.』
