[OPENING] magical training log

[spellslash]

Who: Brie, whichever newbies want to show up.
Where: The beach.
When: Day 4
Open/Closed: OTA

[It's about noon on the island, based on the position of the sun. The newbies have had a few days to settle in, but that doesn't mean they've fully mastered their newfound abilities.

As much stock as Genette puts into telepathy, Brie is more concerned about their other newfound gifts. She's aggressively tried to wrangle as many newbies as possible onto the sandy shores of the beachfront area for some magic practice.

She's got a list of everyone's magic -- only a few vague notes, limitations are for you to discover -- and she's handing out missions for magic training. If you want to participate? Feel free. If you don't? Suit yourself.

But understanding your magic isn't just an activity that benefits the group. Learning your magic's abilities may be what stands between you and survival, which is something she makes perfectly clear.]

. . . I can "project my emotions" onto other people.

[This is the worst power.]

[secrowtary]

I see. [He nods.] Well, it's...an interesting one.

[Hibiki stop, don't make it worse.]

Actually...I'm not sure what awaits us in those other worlds that were mentioned, but if we are to fight somebody or something you could inflict an emotion upon them, for instance, making them laugh loud...it would be easier to track them down. But for that, you need to have a perfect control over your own emotions.

[He's sure looking at Jay trying to figure out if he's capable of that.]

[rebells]

I'm perfectly capable of controlling my emotions.

[There's a definite hint of petulance in this statement.]

And my ability requires physical touch. But I've certainly thought about how it could be used as a distraction tactic.

[secrowtary]

Oh, I see that I got ahead of myself, sorry about that.

[With coming up with the tactics and so on, that is. It's just his peculiar way of cheering someone up.]

Physical touch...that may pose some problems in the future. [There he goes again, but this time around, Hibiki realizes it sooner and cracks a smile.] So...how is your training going?

[rebells]

It's going fine.

[From the look on his face it is clearly not going fine.]

[secrowtary]

I see...keep it up.

[He can tell, but won't say anything.]

If you ever need some assistance...we should help each other, I suppose.

[rebells]

[On the one hand, he really doesn't want to be doing anything with his powers, much less practicing them. On the other hand, he knows he really should be, and Hibiki seems . . . less likely to blab than some people.]

Did you need help with something? [This is a more comfortable topic than his own power, at least.]
