[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.]

[ A : NEW FRIENDS, NEW FREEDOM ]

[Chiaki's mission was simple: somehow enhance the magic of three other newbies.

As far as he's concerned, this is simply a new chance to make new friends while he's at it?! Hence why this super sunny personality is coming up to you even if you've never seen him before in your life. He grins brightly, proudly, and immediately barrels on forward. - ]

Hello!! My name is Chiaki Morisawa, the one with the burning heart! [ok] I believe we are comrades now!

May I touch you?

[why]

[ B : NEW... MISSTEPS ]

What if I...

[ i ) That's the sound of experimentation and while that might be good for anyone with even half a braincell, for Chiaki it's a very, very poor idea. He leans down as if he's about to tie his show, but instead he's touching both of his legs with his fingertips, a brief magic little glow emanating for his fingertips, and then he stands.

Too fast.

Way too fast.

It turns into a jump even though he doesn't mean to, sending him right up into the air, following by his half-confused, half-excited yell - ] I seeeeeeee?!

[Who is this human kite, it's Chiaki.

ii ) When he's back on the ground, he's still trying to get his bearings with his enhanced speed - but it's sending him careening forward much, much faster than he anticipated. Right on course for impacting against a tree, but that should be fine, right? He reaches his hands out to catch himself.

His fingertips come into contact with the tree trunk first, the same magic little glow, and then - ]

Guagh?!

[ - Chiaki runs into it way too fast, especially considering that this tree is now as solid as a boulder.

Mistakes were made.]

a

[splinten]

Why.

[sundays]

Hm? Why what—

[why do you want to touch people, chiaki]

Oh!! Yes, yes, I see what happened. I've never been good at explaining myself.... Forgive my boldness?!

[ . . . . any day now, chiaki]

a

[oneandmikleonly]

[he's dusty and frustrated and fortunately himself-shaped right this moment, or Chiaki might have gotten a snarl instead of a faintly put-upon:]

But why.

[sundays]

[snarl at him, mikleo]

Why...? [it takes a second before he realizes what mikleo's asking - ] Oh!! That's right - ah, you see, it's my mission!

[ . . . to touch people

yeah]

a

[parodeity]

I generally like to be taken out to dinner first?

[ eyes the ball full of pep and sunshine dubiously behind his shades. but also, dave isn't making any move to, like, walk away, despite the dry answer. ]

[sundays]

[he doesn't get it

because he's just going to hum thoughtfully at that, bringing a hand up to his chin and tilting his head]

Ah! A meal between new friends to build camaraderie? That makes sense! We did just meet after all....

a

[rebells]

Absolutely not.

[sundays]

[!!!!!

Chiaki staggers, surprised at the certainty of that reply?!]

I - can't?!

[DID HE JUST EXPECT BLANKET PERMISSION FROM EVERYONE]

b i, oh no

[otokogi]

[ Mitsuki's used to being shorter than people but he's not used to being so short that they literally cast their entire shadow over him. He puts a hand over his eyes to shield them as he looks up.

Someone got the power of flight? From the sound he made, this is almost certainly his first time and that means Mitsuki wants to be anywhere but still in his shadow when gravity takes effect again. ]

Oi, where're you going to land!?

[ Because of course the it's-a-bird brigage up there planned that before he launched... right? ]

save him

[sundays]

[expecting any kind of plan from chiaki is

far too much

it's clear from the way that he seems to be struggling mid-air now as he's falling from the height, flailing his arms about a bit - ]

I - don't know!! [aaaaAAAA] B-Be careful! Out of the way...!!

[even as he's trying to flap... sort of... closer to a tree or something]

A

[yokunaru]

[When Yuuri had agreed to give the magic training a shot, this is definitely not what he was expecting. He regrets everything already.]

W-what kind of question is that!

[sundays]

[Chiaki doesn't even hesitate.]

A sincere one!

a

[actus]

[ .... akira sort of blinks, once, twice, thrice, and then rubs the back of his neck. ]

Ah... how forward.

[ what a tool. ]

[sundays]

I don't particularly see a reason to go backwards?!

[he means this sincerely

he's not trying to be funny

this is just how he is as a person]

b ii

[potentite]

[Oh jesus christ.]

Um?! A—Are you all right?!

[sundays]

[probably not

chiaki's response is weak, but it's... there as he tries to peel himself from the surface of the tree]

Y.... Yes....!

[so that's a no]

a

[5kotai]

[ THE GENKI. IT'S SO MUCH. in fact it's almost intimidating for Gokotai so that he... can't refuse? He'd feel bad, that was a lot of effort put into an introduction. ]

Here...?

[ Holding out a hand that's peeking out from an overly long sleeve. ]

[sundays]

[holy shit gokotai is the easiest one so far

and CHIAKI DRAMATICALLY CLASPS HIS HAND IN BOTH OF HIS]

Thank you, my friend!! What's your name? I am Chiaki Morisawa!

[you already said that, chiaki]

a is for aaaaai can't resist

[pussywhips]

[ Well, okay, this guy is... weird. Ann wishes she could say that she's met weirder, but... okay, she has. She's friends with Yusuke, after all. This guy is like the anti-Yusuke, though, and it takes her a second to catch up to all the absurdity of him. Which is why she stands there for a beat, dumbfounded and struck speechless.

Wait, did he say he wanted to touch her? ]

U-Um, hey, what?!

[ Congrats, he's now a pervert. Obviously. ]

omg i'm glad you didn't

[sundays]

[Chiaki Morisawa is definitely really weird. So weird that he doesn't understand why she's so affronted?! Touching is common between comrades, is it not? More so, he needs it for his mission!

... he hasn't said any of that out loud though....

So instead he's very confused for a second longer - before it DAWNS ON HIM.]

O-Oh! Ah, that's right, you're a girl, aren't you? [I WONDER, CHIAKI] I shouldn't be so casual about reaching out to you then.... I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything perverted by it!

A! I CAN'T RESIST EITHER, I'M SORRY.

[doublesharp]

[What a blinding smile! Anyone would be shocked by someone BARRELING UP TO THEM Chiaki style, but Riku only flinches and takes a step back, shock more than apparent on his face.]

Burning heart? Comrades?!

Uh, I-- Okay?

[He probably should have questioned this more before agreeing, but it's too late now, so....?!?!]

a) because you deserve to be piled on

[drunkle]

Well, you're creepy.

[ And that's before they even got to the question about touching. 8( But then Chiaki does the thing and asks... ]

Unless you're tall, female and serving booze, then no. [ why u gotta be gross qrow ]

A

[tropism]

You may, but you're not going to like it.

[ he extends a hand. ] Do you want to risk it?

what if b

[probablynoteren]

[Lenka would have a way better plan if he hadn't walked into Chiaki's plan (?!???!?) in media res, to the sound of some flying guy screaming while jumping dozens of feet into the air and -- ah, he is definitely not stopping or even slowing down and they're on the beach, Chiaki, that way lies space.

They do have a little buffer between Chiaki: Air Bud edition and the great beyond, but nevertheless Lenka is suddenly deeply regretting his lack of a God Arc. (Though maybe that's a good thing, for reasons.)

So, here's how it goes: on the bright side, he manages to react on a dime, already activating his powers by reaching a hand out towards where Chiaki is sailing along; on the not-so-bright side, his power is summoning refrigerators in absurd ways, so instead of anything ostensibly useful happening, a refrigerator materializes in mid-air and tries to eat the target.

There are now a few options:

1. Fly screaming away from the refrigerator
2. Fly screaming into the refrigerator, and probably spill out again because there isn't quite enough room for someone as tall as Chiaki in there
3. Grab the refrigerator for dear life, except it's a falling refrigerator so uh
4. Maybe Lenka has a plan
5. Surely he has something in mind for this
6. SURELY.]
