[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.]

[It's a weird story, and more resonant than Jotaro wants to admit to someone he barely knows. As Giorno talks, he finds himself remembering the terrified confusion of his early days with Star Platinum, not just the fact of it but how it felt to have this wrathful thing no one else could see lingering at his side.

Jotaro's heart races despite himself, his free hand curls into a fist, but there's still another part to this and he's determined not to chicken out.]

Is it gonna come true?

[tropism]

What'll you do if it does?

You've come here the same way as I have. You must've given up something, as well.

[ he sees his free hand turn into a fist, and giorno wonders if he should ready for a fight. he doesn't have his stand, but he does have this -

he keeps a firm grip on jotaro's hand. ]

[What will he do? It's not like he was big on fighting before his Stand manifested, but would he even need to? Giorno's seemed smart enough so far that a purely intellectual battle could be on the table--could be happening right now, even, which means--

No. That's the fear talking, still coiled in his gut like a stocking full of stones. Jotaro knows he's better than this and he needs to act like it.]

I'll wait and see. It's none of my business if you're just being dramatic about weird magic puberty, but I won't let you hurt people.

[He's not saying what he lost. One is too personal and the other too weird to explain, and as far as Jotaro's concerned neither has anything to do with Giorno and his scary story bullshit.]

[tropism]

I'm being dramatic, you're absolutely right.

And that's quite the leap where my abilities are concerned. I'm flattered, but you're wrong.

[ noted that he wants what he's lost to remain private. giorno lets go of his hand, eventually. ]
