[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.]

[ He's not sure he 100% understands the driving reference since he's had sort of ... odd and specific experiences with driving (like, say, on the bikes in Tron's world —), but he thinks he gets what she's getting at. Take your time! Focus! It'll get easier! And stuff. And he gives nods throughout that to show he's paying attention and listening — he really does want to get better here!

But he makes a bit of a face at her last words. ]

It sure can. [ Start a fire, that is. ] I made the mistake of touching it earlier. Not gonna do that again.

[ He's not even immune from his own magic!! Wow!! ]

[witchofwishes]

I don't think anyone can blame you for doing that. I think the natural want is to reach out and touch it just to see what might happen.

[There's no denying that even she'd like to at least hold it in her hands. If this was her power she'd probably have tried to touch it too.]

And we don't learn unless we try. We know not to touch hot stoves because they burned us once. You know not to touch that ball of light because it hurts. If you hadn't tried you'd have never known.

Mistakes bring about knowledge and understanding.

[It's all part of the learning process. As the saying goes: No pain no gain~]

[heartkey]

[ Man, she makes it seem like it's a smart thing to touch the little firey ball of light. Better than calling him an idiot for it, at least! ]

Uh ... yeah, I guess you're right. Still, woulda been nice to not experience that though. But I guess now I know.

[ Which is ... good. He supposes. ]

[witchofwishes]

[She laughs.] I imagine so. But there's no teacher quite like pain.

I do hope I offered some guidance. I look forward to seeing your success in your task! I wonder though, is there a reward for completing your mission?

[Other than getting better at your magic, of course. With all these children she'd be surprised if there wasn't some kind of incentive. But maybe everyone here is surprisingly dutiful.]

[heartkey]

[ ... He hadn't even thought of that. Sora doesn't often think of whether there's a reward at the end of the things he does. He mostly just does them. ]

... Huh. I didn't think to ask. You think there is?

[witchofwishes]

If there is I am sorely disappointed I didn't sign up for training.

[That'd have been a gift she could have taken too! Do a task. Get rewarded. Unlike the gifts that were dumped on them at the beginning that she sadly had to pass on. Oh well.]

Well... not that disappointed. I prefer this to running around in the hot sun. [She leans back in her chair for emphasis. If she had sunglasses and bathing suit this would be absolutely perfect.]

Let me know if you win a prize~
