[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.]

[ THAT ... IS ... ] That's so cool! You could create all kinds of stuff like that! What kinda things have you tried so far?

[ He's so intensely interested in this. ]

[windeity]

[Sora please. But John's own enthusiasm matches and he pauses to think about this.]

We've created a lot of stuff. Uh, we made a lamp? It smells like apples and changes colors but it is also shaped like a brain, so that's a thing. And we made this small yarn dog that makes ocean noises...I've been testing things on my own, too. But nothing too impressive yet while we're figuring it out but there doesn't seem to be a size limit? [A shrug.] I can only fuse two things at a time, but they can be anything.

[Sadly, after this conversation John continues fusing a lot of stupid things. Perhaps it's best that Sora's speaking to him now.]

[heartkey]

Whoa ...

[ HE LOVES THIS. IT SOUNDS SO NEAT. Making stupid things doesn't seem stupid at all to Sora and instead it just seems exciting and cool. ]

So that's why you're looking for stuff, isn't it?

[ THEY HAVE TO FIND HIM COOL STUFF TO FUSE. ]

[windeity]

That is exactly why I am looking for stuff, but if I have to do that anyway it made more sense to make it more fun than just walking in circles. [John has priorities ok.] And anyway that was Brie's assignment for me. Find items from other people to fuse with stuff of my own. But I do not have a lot of my own stuff yet anyway.

[heartkey]

[ Sora is 1000% more pumped for this treasure hunt now, friendo. ]

I don't have a lot with me, either. [ Patting his clothing to demonstrate that he's not really got anything on him anywhere. ] So let's get started with looking! I gotta see you do this!

[windeity]

Sounds good to me! Like I said, I bet there's still probably stuff out in the forest if we get desperate but I will take another shell or a rock at this rate.

[Onward! But oh.] I'm John, by the way.

[heartkey]

I'll take anything! I bet it's cool no matter what you use. [ But he does want to see him fuse ridiculous things to see what comes of it. ]

Oh, right. I'm Sora!

[windeity]

Sora. I'll remember that. [Onward then, new friend Sora.] Cool is maybe one word for it, yes! I think almost all kinds of magic can be pretty cool though. That is probably not limited to just putting stuff together.

[heartkey]

Yeah, I think you're right about that. [ Crossing his arms. ] There's all kinds of cool magic out there. I wanna know what everyone else can do, too.

[ He bets there's got to be a ton of different types of magic they're capable of and he's mega curious to see all of it. ]
