[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.]

[ Don't mind her, she's just observing...Or is she?

That was the plan, but it's almost instinctive for Brie to toss herself into the fray. If she happens upon a newbie in particular need of help, she may offer to straighten them out. She's also not opposed to helping you complete your mission, as long as it gets you to practice your magic.]

[rebells]

Can you actually think of a way projecting my--emotions onto other people could aid in my survival, or is that just the line you give everyone?

[Someone looks like he has a lot of emotions about this, in particular.]

[spellslash]

Not off the top of my head. But you never know when the weirdest shit will be useful.

[Anything's possible, m'dude.]

[rebells]

That's--

[Augh, no, you're being too reasonable about this; he can't argue. He makes a frustrated noise instead.]

[spellslash]

What? You got indigestion or something?

[SHE'S NOT USED TO PEOPLE AVOIDING BEING COMBATIVE.]

[rebells]

I don't have indigestion.

[I don't know, man, he definitely sounds like he has indigestion.]

[sundays]

Brie, Brie, Brie!!

[SOMEONE'S JUST EXCITED TO SEE HER - and he waves excitedly?!]

How are you? Is the supervising going well? Do you need water?

[where do you plan on finding water, chiaki]

[spellslash]

[Ah.....for as excited as he is about speaking her her, she has no God damn idea who he is.]

I'm fine. Focus on learning how to control and use your magic, not me. [Like dang, she's got legs, she can get her own water.]

[sundays]

[he'll announce his name a few times over in the course of the conversation, probably]

Understood!! [and he gives an automatic two-fingered salute!!] Then may I ask if you have any advice? During times like this, I'm sure you have much more wisdom than the rest of us...!

[spellslash]

[Uhhh...give her a second, she has to put the name to the face to the magic and -- ]

You make shit blow up or something, right?

[sundays]

[brie are you faceblind]

Ah - not quite! [ . . . well - ] I don't think so, anyway...?

Mm, from what I've gathered, I can increase the strength of what I touch? I think...? Or unlock the hidden depths of its potential!

[no that's

it's the first one, he's just trying to be dramatic]

[parodeity]

[ well. one of his tasks was a bag of chips, and after he draws A Lot Of Those, he swings by to go up to brie with the best bag in the lot, of cool-ranch doritos.

it loos almost competently drawn to life, for a wonder. ]

I think I promised you these?

[spellslash]

[hell yes, she set this up and the plan worked]

Give 'em. [Brie snatches those out of his hand with lightning speed, popping the top open with a quick motion.] On a scale of one to ten, how severely is my mind about to be blown?

[parodeity]

Ten, if you ain't ever had 'em before. Maybe fifteen.

[ SHE WAS A CUNNING MASTERMIND ]

[spellslash]

[She sniffs around the bag's lip like a truffle pig before deciding to pull out a triangular chip, examining it closely before placing the entire chip in her mouth and crunching.

Hmm. Hmmmmmmmm.]

I like that it's twangy but also refreshing. I definitely want to eat more than one after eating this one, so it's got that going for it.

Yeah, I'd say tens across the board.

[parodeity]

So I pass my trainin' with flying colors?

[ he grins. ]

[probablynoteren]

[Well, it's not Genette, and it's not a giant sleeping caravan, so by process of elimination and unless they've got other hosts stashed away in pockets of unknown space somewhere--]

Brie. You're Brie, right?

[He has about a zillion questions, but perhaps two really pressing ones.]
