[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.]

subnautica high five

[parodeity]

Maybe on that peak over there?

[ dave includes the image in his mind as he says this. ]

[oneandmikleonly]

Good eye!

[the mood of his tone's definitely picked up; he swivels his head a couple of times until he can focus on what Dave's looking at, then starts to descend, doing another slow inward spiral to avoid another awkward crash like earlier.

the view is amazing]

[parodeity]

It's really damn pretty.

[ DAVE CONCURS RE: THE VIEW ]

[oneandmikleonly]

You don't usually get views this clear on the mountains . . . I feel a little sorry that those worms from the other night have moved on. Can you imagine what this would have looked like that night?

[he finally comes in for a landing, claws scrabbling ungainly on the rock; there's a couple of uncertain moments, but he gets them safely on the ledge.]

[parodeity]

Those worms sent out drug mist, so I'm not sure I feel totally sorry for them?

[ like JUST SAYING ]

[oneandmikleonly]

I don't mean the drug mist! I walked right into that stuff, it was strange. I just mean...imagine the view? All those lights.

[parodeity]

Okay, you ain't wrong there. It'd be like sittin' right in the middle of the Northern Lights.

[oneandmikleonly]

Northern Lights...my friends and I went north once, but there was too much trouble brewing there, too many snowstorms. Does the sky there really look like that sometimes...?

[sounds a shade awed]

[parodeity]

In my world, yeah. There are...lights in the sky, like ribbons, all different colors but usually lighter shades? It's all science-y.

[oneandmikleonly]

That does sound beautiful. I kind of hope we get to see that too someday.

[parodeity]

Well, if we're goin' from world to world...

[oneandmikleonly]

You think we'll cross back into our own...? Strange.

[parodeity]

I mean, weirder things have happened? This included. But I think it wouldn't be, like, impossible to do so...or at least a world that has a similar natural phenomenon.

[rootbound]

I bet it'll be similar. If Qri brought us here, I doubt she'll want us metaphorically hanging onto a tree and yelling not to leave again.

[or literally? who knows]
