Ellen doesn't normally spend that much time in the Bar in her armor unless she really has to; even in the best armor, you can't scratch an itch. However, when she goes back through the door she's going to have two 'mole people' in tow- or at least, one mole person and one mole people robot- so she's gonna have to do it in attire appropriate to the occasion. Hence, she's wearing her Chinese stealth suit, albeit with the headpiece down so people can recognize her and she can get a drink.

Stop by to say hi if you like.


[OOC: Wanted to give her an EP before sending her out to thread a recon mission with Voodoo and D0G. Willing to take other volunteers if they don't mind the lunacy of the Fallout universe and plenty of slowtime. Also willing to just RP- just RP is good!]

Cold and snowy it was, it didn't stop Sonya from doing forms outside. Evening was her favorite time, seeing the sunset by the lake with the snow: the cold and beauty of it kept her mind off her thoughts.

The bar didn't provide her with army PT gear, but the black track pants, t-shirt and grey sweatshirt were close enough. She intended to just use the gym below Bar, but the woods called to her more-more alive even in winter, more at peace, the sound of 'natural' white noise a sort of reassurance.

Coming to a clearing in the woods, she came to a halt, breathing deep and stretching her arms. Of the martial arts she's studied in the army, Kung Fu was the one she studied more for the art and less for combat. In her line of work, the style wasn't a practical, but the forms, the focus on a person's breath and energy. Sonya kept it as a way to focus herself rather then defend herself: hung gar being a preferred style.

Arms out, pulled to her waist. Strike with her right arm, then left, pull in again. Pull back, jump kick. Retaliate with a forward palm strike and front kick. Her eyes were open as she went with the motions, once more careful of her feet. One wrong move would send her on her ass-and in a fight, one wrong move could be fatal.

Breathing deep, she felt the power once more. At the tournament, Liu took her training to the next level, and with enough focus she could channel it once more to her arms. Coursing through her arms like electricity, she both felt and saw it through her arms, the faint pink energy that she learned to harness.

Breath in, breath out: focusing, she focused the power to her fists, holding them to her center. A look ahead saw a large stone, worn with age and weather.  Focusing her power, she thrust her arms forward, sending a pink ring of chi energy directly towards her target. The power caused the stone to shudder and split into two.

Only then did Sonya allow herself to break form, suddenly realizing that even in the cold January are she was sweating. Damn, how bad was she out of practice.

ooc: catch her anywhere outside, feel free to have witnessed her manifesting her chi. Will be on and off slowtime until tomorrow evening.
