Fired up and ready to go. [OTA]

Who: Goten and OTA
When: July 26th- Aug 4th
Where: Various places
What: Typical Goten things / Catchall


A – Exploring various occupied temples

[Any temples that have animals typically lingering about or living around them with will easily attract Goten. He doesn’t mean to trespass. The thought never even crosses his mind as he explores around outside of said Temple. (or inside some of more open temples). Frogs, bugs and other catch-able critters are going to be targeted for a game of cat and mouse. Other bigger creatures, he’s a bit more careful with, just trying to approach or pet them. Birds are subject to both of these considering Goten can fly. It’s all in harmless curious fun! But look out, he's not always paying attention to where he's going if he's chasing something!]

B- Training – Abounded Temples

[This has become practically second nature for Goten to linger around and about the various abounded temples that take up space. Not only for exploring reasons but training too! It’s one of the few places he can do practically whatever he wants without worrying about hurting or hitting anyone. Blowing stuff up is also okay because these temples don’t belong to anybody!

The young shinki can found either practicing his borderlines. He's learned two now. One that makes a barrier-wall and a cutting one. The cutting one he can actually do pretty well.

When he isn't practicing shinki things, Goten smashing up large pieces of rumble by punching them or throwing a various number of rocks in the air before blasting them down with energy as if trying to make some kind of target practice. Which is easy considering he can predict where the rocks are falling.

Regardless of which kind of training he's doing, if he notices any on lookers or someone passing through he'll flash a big smile and wave.]


C - Out and About

[It’s worked like a charm before so why not test it out more! Goten has quickly found that his new favorite shinki spell is Umbra. Of the three he has learned, this one is considerably the most fun! It worked so well before too! Much like he had done with a group of friends, he is testing out just how well it works.

If you feel something hovering around you or eyes on the back of your head, Goten is probably lurking about. He means no harm but he is curious and playful. So don’t be too surprise if the item you place down suddenly goes missing or ends up across the room. Goten isn’t that stealthy despite being completely invisible and can still be heard.]


D – School

[With ‘encouragement’ from the various adults he looks up to, Goten has been trying to get the hang of school. As much as he adores Hakkai and Izumo it’s all not that interesting to the demi saiyan. Yoon had gotten him to read through cook books but other than that….math and other academics quickly make his eyes glaze over.

But he is trying.

Done with classes for the day he’s still hanging around outside on the school grounds. Anyone passing by can see the messy haired child sitting on top of Nimbus,parked just under a tree. The familiar cloud just hovering a few inches above the ground with few books sprawled out over the yellow fluff and Goten skims through one before falling back. He lays on his back, book over his face as he lets out a quiet groan. He’d rather train his body, not his mind. Time for a break. ]


E - Wildcard

((If none of these work for you or you have something else in mind just throw it here. Goten is pretty active so he literally goes just about everywhere. Feel free to post w/e here or hit me up via plurk [plurk.com profile] skytied or pm. This also serves as a random catch all for things.))

[Yukine can't help but laugh under his breath as he smiles thinly.
He needs a suitably mature answer for this one-]


Thanks. But don't worry too much about the things you don't know yet. ... The best teachers have to keep getting better themselves, right? So they're always learning too.

[Nailed it.]

[Thank you for the vote of confidence, Goten-kun!]

Sure, 'course I'll still be your teacher.

[He idly flips his pencil case into the air, wondering what might be good to teach the kid next. Catching his case he looks back over at Goten and arches an eyebrow.]

But I'm not your only teacher, am I. A shinki has to have more than spells to be their best.

Have you been studying properly too?
returnedfromtheline: (A; wow tough call- not)

[personal profile] returnedfromtheline 2017-08-08 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. I mean regular school stuff. Reading and writing and things like that.
returnedfromtheline: (| start something)

... [Your 'other friend' is an idiot, Goten.]

Actually, there's a lot of reasons to study, because we're dead.

I get that it's sometimes hard and boring, but the hard work makes it feel even better when you get it, right?

When there's something that everyone else can read but you can't, doesn't it feel like it's an opponent that everyone can beat except you? Isn't it frustrating? Being strong enough in your mind to beat problems is just as important as being strong in your body to beat up ayakashi.

You see what I mean, right. It's just another kind of fight with a another kind of training. [Good. He'd hoped that putting it in the context of 'fighting' would work.]

I can't force you do to this stuff. But I want to see you be strong in lots of different ways, so that you can handle whatever comes at you. And, like we just talked about, a good teacher keeps learning. So, do you wanna tough it out with me? [He holds out his fist, hoping that Goten will say yes and fistbump him back.]
returnedfromtheline: (> my new friend)

[[]]

[He presses into Goten's fist a little with a wide grin.]


Right. I promise I'll study hard with you. And train you, too. Let's get stronger!
