Suzy: ahhggg-! *Tenses up but keeps myself standing and silent as I try to feel out the process each time it happens.*

@Stabby

Jack: *Continues repeatedly* It takes a while, so if you need a break let me know.

*My heartrate slows to near zero and I take one breath every few minutes*

@Nimda

*Raises eyebrows* Impressive meditation!

*Enters a trancelike state and becomes unresponsive*

@Nimda

*Watches*

Suzy: ... I'll take the first option and brace myself.

@Stabby

Jack: Mhm. *Puts my hand on your shoulder and you feel an intense pain that's unlike any physical pain you've felt, and a sense of emptiness where the pain goes* Luckily, pain is attractive to EE in a literal sense; it's great for healing wounds and even rebuilding body parts if you're good enough with it. *Slowly the feeling seems to leave as if it where being pushed out by all directions other than outside of yourself*

*Concentrates on influencing the chakra flows*

Suzy: Neat! So what's the first step for training?

@Stabby

Jack: It's gonna be painful. Basically, I'm going to inject my own EE into you, which is going to kickstart your own as a sort of defense system. Your job is to focus on the feeling of my energy leaving as yours pushes it out. Then repeat until you can push some of your own energy out of yourself, at which point we can start on training you to actually control it and then utilize it. Or we can go the traditional way and subject you to severe physical and psychological trauma until it starts pouring out of you in a self-destructive flood.

Suzy: So what can I achieve with EE?

@Stabby

Jack: Self-enhancement, destruction of organic material, flight, so on and so forth.

*Nods*
Alright. Let me see.
*Sits down, crosses my legs, and concentrates*

Suzy: Woo hoo! *Sprints to the door and then just jumps up, scrambling up and over it.*
Salvador: uhhhgggg. *Faceplams.*
Samantha: *sighs.* I'm sorry about her behavior, she really just seems to follow her impulses at times.

@Stabby

Alright, we'll start on your EE training. Luckily, it reacts well to other EE. Before we begin, you should learn the basics of what it is and does. It's created by certain "fictional organs", called such to avoid reusing "imaginary", when emotions are felt. It's then stored in your EE pathways and excess is compressed inside of a specific biological organ until it reaches a overflow point, at which time it begins pouring out from the body's pores, in cases of mammals. EE is completely invisible, though you'll notice that each emotion's energy "feels" like a color, depending on the emotion. It is possible to become able to actually see it, but it requires surgery to implant a special lens into your eyes. Mechanical means cannot detect it, which makes sense considering that EE can only interact with organic matter. It simply passes through inorganic matter until it reaches its dissipation range.
The composition of someone's pathways and fictional organs, as well as the organ it's stored in, is entirely different from individual to individual, and the process of discovering one's internal structure is often fatal to that person, so we'll be waiting on that until you're well versed in the energy.
Let's see, what else... It can interact with other Imaginary Energies, but absolutely keep in mind that aside from Imaginary Energies, it can only interact with organic matter, whether it's alive or dead.

How do I best meditate on these chakra flows?

@Nimda

A good way to build up chakra in the body is to spin it into a tight spiral, the direction based on the direction your hair spirals from. Then expand it outwards through your body, then back into the tight spiral, and over and over.

Tired. Night all.

Thank you. I truly do wish to learn.

@Nimda

As you probably noticed, the control you gained from tree climbing was more similar to magnetism, in that if you used too little chakra you'd fall, and if you used too much you'd propel yourself off the tree. But with water walking, you had to be emitting a constant stream of chakra and use the repellent force to walk across the water's surface, and the amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changed constantly. The next step is to do intense meditation where you focus on moving your chakra through your body in its natural pathways but at a faster or slower rate than it normally would. This can also help you learn the nature of the basic hand seals by holding one as you do it.
There are five basic "release" types of jutsu; fire, earth, water, air, and lightning. Each person is aligned with one release type naturally, which they'll have an easier time using. You'll find that Tiger is linked with fire and earth, Snake is linked with earth and lightning, Bird with air, and Dog with water. Once you've gotten to the point you can change the speed efficiently and quickly, you'll be to the point where the best way to improve further would just be learning specific jutsu.

*Suzy looks over herself when it happens.*
*Salvador blinks before smirking.* Desire eh?
*Samantha slowly gets up, seaming to maintain the meditative state quite well as she bows.*

@Stabby

Jack: Now it's time for you three to split up. Suzy, you head over to the training gear. *Points to the exercise equipment* You two continue with this or take a break for a while, we'll get her started then come back to you two while she practices.

*Shakes the water off of my jacket before hovering my foot over the water once again*
One step at a time.

@Nimda

*After several more days you manage to walk across the entire lake* You really are growing quickly.

*Closes my eyes, focuses on the base of my foot and the surface of the water, takes a deep breath, and steps forward*

@Nimda

*You manage to stay on it for a moment before falling through* No worries! That's normal. It'll take a bit of practice before you can do it.

Salvador: *Grumbles again and walks off, jacket in hand.
Samantha: Thank you for the offer, but we prefer to keep our clothes from getting wet in the first place. *Walks off and after a few moments later both of them come back and join suzy under the waterfall in their own swimwear.*

@Stabby

*After a couple weeks you all find that you can enter the state fairly easily*
Jack: Alright. Now it's time to awaken you all to ki, since the training for your other abilities will in turn boost your ki naturally, making it the last thing to learn. It's important to understand the basics of ki are Vigor, your health and life force, Courage, strength of desire, and Mind, your mental state. These things combine to form your ki and control of it.
*Jack taps each of you on the forehead and you all gain a sense of being lighter weight and more aware*
