Centering Training (Mandatory Event)

[Doji Sakura]

Sakura did not understand this event. She wasn't one for meditation, being too energetic (and some would say too simple). However, she joined in. She did the exercises as best she could, and tried to keep within the spirit of the event.

By the end, she felt like she understood her place a bit better.

------

Miya Wyn enters, having been dreading this class and preparing for it for most of the day. He doesn't even try to push himself, and instead just sits in the meditation position and begins attempting to concentrate, remembering the assitance previously from buth the Kuni and the Toritaka. Slowly he contemplates each element in turn, putting everything he has in it and then after feeling fully centered he cracks one eye to look, only to find Kitsuki Sensei smiling in his direction and offering a curt nod.

[Bayushi Kaidan]

Kaidan sat and tried to channel the elements to find balance. He is not that good with earth since his element is air. His secondary element is fire so the opposing element will be water that it was difficult to channel. Overall the boy had potential, he was balanced.

[Yogo Otoko]

Otoko was quite good at meditating, and she would have gotten away with it all if it weren't for her meddling ancestor. Thankfully, Kitsuki-sensei saw she did her best, and decided to help her out.

-----------------------------------------------

13 + 19 + 14 + 28 = 74

+1 Void

[Kokyou]

Definitely born ready for this. Kokyou knew it since the day he could recall the name he was given.

He takes a deep breath and reminds himself of the sails. Hoist them to the gust and lower them to the storm.

The earth within him was too strong, now. The Zokujin stone weighted heavily on him to be able to concentrate properly. The voices were audible, unlike the other elements.

His heart burned with passion and allowed him to learn from past mistakes even if it left a burning scar.

Kokyou feels the sea. It is, strangely, his homeland. The water never ceases to teach him the way of things. How it comes and goes. Ever changing, but always mysterious, bountiful and frightful.

Finally, he finds himself. Too big for him contain. Kokyou grows.

[Soshi Shiso]

It was all crazy. Shiso couldn't remember a thing. There was good reasons Shiso shouldn't be getting too introspective. Their dip into the Void ended up with a WAAAGH! and some other sentence - perhaps prophetic and yet embarrassing - the they couldn't recall even saying.

[2 Successes/3 Failures, Tally: 30, Failed Honor Roll - Honor Loss, +2 Void, +1 Temporary Ally]

[Kaito Kai]

Kai embraced eternity. It was disconcerting and comforting. Mindless and mindful. Alien and familiar.

And over all too soon, but this time with a clarity that questioned and answered.

[Utaku Nesrin]

A dark room. Nothing to do but focus. Fooooocuuuus...

So she tried the classic focusing on her breathe...and started giggling
Feeling the floor underneath, and grounding her awareness there...that worked better.
Well enough that she could really call up the image of a flame, could almost feel it as she focused on that.
OK, that's a tool, but it's still a physical thing, and singular, and alone, and ...

She heard the ocean that she'd never once seen. At least what she imagined it sounded like, roaring like an enormous winde and washing away everything...candle and breath and Nesrin alike.

Until everything was still. Somehow darkness and silence were clear as crystal. It was obvious how she was herself, but that didn't matter in the fullness of the Void.

It was almost startling when the quiet call came to get up, get moving, start on the next set of tasks. Nesrin tried to keep the feeling with her through the rest of the afternoon, but like all things, it faded.

*********
Meditation / Air 6 boo Orokos. Doesn't matter, but keeping 3 and 3 (total 6)
Meditation / Earth 19 keeping 9 and 9 +1 (Total 25) (didn't edit out the raise on subsequent rolls, though it's useless to take one after failing the first. Oh well)
Meditation / Fire 22 keeping 12 and 9 +1 (total 47)
Meditation / Water 15 keeping 9 and 5 +1 (total 62)
Meditation / Void 29 keeping 23 and 6 (total 91) Gain Enlightened

Totals: +1 Void, Enlightened

[Togashi Dao]

Dao listens to the instructions from Tai Yu and feels himself slipping into darkness, just like the other times he had meditated, although in such a group, it felt different. It felt more intense, as if all the students were pushing each other further and deeper into the void.

He felt his breath in his lungs, focused on it and could feel it slowing as he fell into trance.

He felt the stone of the dojo floor pressing into his flesh, but also managed to push away that sensation as his focus grew.

The heat from the sun was in sync with his body temperature, his pulse beating in time with the rays of warmth as they bombarded him.

Sweat dripped from his nose, striking his bare legs in a rhythm that matched his heartbeat. All was becoming one.

And then he saw a flash of lights in the darkness, the universe returning around him. He came out of his trance and let out the breath he had been holding, feeling a deeper connection within himself and with the world around him.
