Hello, I'm Sun Wukong. A huntsman in training and not related to any kings, despite my name apparently being similar to someone titled a Monkey King. Trust me, I'm not even close to royalty. Or immortality.

[He thought he'd get that out of the way from his introductions.

That sure is a monkey tail that waves behind him - clearly attached to him. So he is a monkey, at least.]

This came up in a conversation a while back, but I am definitely curious about it.


If you had been given a chance to choose your season, which would you have chosen? Is it the one you have or something else? Do you feel like the season given to you fits you?


[But since it wouldn't be fair if he didn't answer it, too...]


My season is Summer, and I would have chosen it if I had been given a chance. I was born in a desert and my name is Sun, so what's more fitting than summer, really? The emotions that amplify our powers aren't really fitting to my person, but that's about the only thing that doesn't.

[Sun grins and takes his hands. It would definitely go faster with two hands and his tail helping.]

Of course. Though maybe I should have taken the opportunity to draw on your face first. May never get the chance again...

[With the increased energy flow Hijikata quickly feels more stable and less likely to suddenly fall asleep! He even musters a little grin at Sun's comment.]

Yeah, not if I can help it.

[Seriously, why would he turn to stone again with so many people who'll exchange energy with him! The answer may surprise you!]

[totallycalledit]

[Too bad he's busy doing other things when he has the next chance!]

Anyway... while you recharge, try focusing on yourself. Try feeling the aura inside you. It might be a little difficult, but it's nicer to do that than test me punching you to see if you bruise.

[mayoninofukucho]

Yeah, I'd say!

[He does try to focus... something does feel different, but it's hard to describe the sensation. It feels both old and new, somehow, like taking an old heirloom vase that's always been in the house in your hands and really inspecting it for the first time.]

I can feel it, I think... is there anything I can do with it right away?

[totallycalledit]

Mostly just shelter yourself from harm, protect yourself from extreme temperatures and heal minor wounds you get. It takes years to master a Semblance... so enjoy the defensive abilities for now. I can help you try and coax out a semblance once you know how to successfully use your Aura for defense.

[mayoninofukucho]

Can you show me how to activate the shield? Then I'll take it from there!

[Sun knows how ambitious he is! He'll definitely incorporate the Aura practice into his daily training. He's pretty excited, having barely any defences in his arsenal up until now.]

[totallycalledit]

Sure. Best way is to demonstrate it first. So punch me.

[He points to his cheek. Give it your best shot!]

[mayoninofukucho]

If you're sure..!

[He hesitates a little. Sun is one of the people who are so nice to him that he has inhibitions about punching him! After a moment, though, he does it - only to see that burst of golden energy spread across Sun's cheek, like ripples across water, essentially absorbing the shock of the impact.]

This is really great!! How do I activate mine? Do I just think of it? Like, "Aura on!"?
