[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 was decided when the last Ryusei Red graduated!

[ . . . and that's about it - or at least Chiaki has to take a thoughtful pause.]

Mm, well I do believe that I am Chiaki Morisawa, the strong and kind hero that all the underclassmen look up to...! [ . . . a sheepish laugh.] I think?

I wonder a lot if I'm suited for it... but even if I'm not, they're entrusted to me - and their success is far more important than my own!

[p_mortem]

[ "I'm leader because I'm me" makes Minato laugh, silent and under his breath, because wasn't he the same way? Having the position foisted upon him, although he wouldn't know about being looked up to. ]

You sound suited for it to me, Leader.

[ You can be that here too, granting people wishes. You do you, Chiaki Morisawa. ]

[sundays]

[All Chiaki wants to do with his life is to grant happiness to others.

So he grins at that, warm like the summer sun that he loves to claim.]

Do you think...? Ahaha, you're very kind to me, friend - though now that I think about it, I've said my name multiple times but I don't know yours?

[p_mortem]

Yeah, that's true.

[ ...But he doesn't offer his name. ]

I don't mind if you just call me friend.

[sundays]

[ . . . hm. He tilts his head - that's not what he expected.]

Mm? Truly? It may become rather difficult to find you again if we get separated.... I wouldn't want to just call "friend" into a crowd?

[how often do you lose people, chiaki]

And after all, you're my strong comrade! Even if you will always be my friend, I can't tell stories of your heroics without a name.

[p_mortem]

Truly.

[ If Chiaki's going to tell stories about him, Minato doesn't really want his name attached. But he sighs and relents, because Chiaki does look like the sort of person who would call "friend" out into a crowd if that's the only epithet he has available. ]

...My name's Minato.

[sundays]

[chiaki would absolutely scream "FRIEND" out into the crowd. he may eventually add "THE ONE WITH THE BLUE HAIR" if he really couldn't find minato after that.

but regardless, he looks pleased, grinning]

Then you are my friend Minato!

[he will now add "friend" in front of Minato's name whenever he has to address him by name... because chiaki may appear dense, but he can sort of tune into what people need from him.]

[p_mortem]

[ "THE ONE WITH THE BLUE HAIR" would have been funny and Minato shouldn't have given Chiaki his name. But that's done, and Minato sort of looks away, glancing down at the ground still littered with glass, up somewhere to the side of Chiaki's head. ]

What should I call you, Chiaki Morisawa?

[sundays]

[i will still make sure it happens just for you card]

Ahaha, I have many names. Chiaki Morisawa, A good name! Ryusei Red, my title as the leader of Ryuseitai! Basketball Club Captain, as well!

But ah... I hope you will still be able to call me a friend, if you'd like, and call me frequently if you ever need anything. I want to be here for you!

[that doesn't

answer the

fucking question, chiaki]

[p_mortem]

[ Thanks. And in return, Minato never uses Chiaki's name ever again. ]

...I do have another task you could help with.

[sundays]

Name it!

[you already lost your pants, chiaki]

[p_mortem]

[ and he will now take your home ]

It's turning a beach hut into a bead. I can't tell which ones aren't lived in, to practice on.

[sundays]

Ah, I see! Then would you like to do a preliminary search for you, friend Minato?

[no]

[p_mortem]

[ yes ]

How would you tell? People wouldn't leave their belongings lying around as evidence.
