[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.]

[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]

[splinten]

[Dirk continues to merely stare at him.]

[sundays]

[Thanks Dirk.

But you've given Chiaki a chance to keep talking as he now sets his hands on his hips and tilts his head.]

Or perhaps it does not need to be forgiven? You're a strong person, aren't you? Very direct and to the point.... I'm reminded of home! Ahahah, a feeling that I did not expect to feel again so soon!

[and he grins, wandering... back on topic....]

You see - this whole place is very foreign? But I'm glad to have some direction! I believe my directive is to enhance the powers of others here, with my own hands! Isn't that amazing? To think that I'd be capable of something like that....!

[shut him up please]

[splinten]

[Dirk gets the impression that Chiaki requires literally no input from Dirk whatsoever.]

You mean you've got buffing magic.

[sundays]

[He's from a game with a silent protagonist and sometimes goes off on long monologues with only an implied nod as the other participation.

So - yeah.]

Is that what it's called....?

[splinten]

If your power is to help other people's powers be stronger, then yeah. It means a support role.

[here he'll just. rpg class you.]

[sundays]

[he'll take it, he doesn't speak that kind of nerd]

Ah, I see, I see...!! Hmm, while I almost wish I'd had something flashier to take on the lead hero's role... I understand!

If it's done to help others, then that's a good power too, ahaha! Then - how may I help you, my friend?!

[splinten]

That depends on what your power actually is.

[He feels like he has to stay extra monotonously calm in order to counterbalance this reckless ray of sunshine.]

Tell me what it said on the slip.

[sundays]

My assignment? It told me to "somehow enhance the magic of three other newbies"!

[And he sparkles at the very idea....]

It is my job to make everyone else stronger... I'm quite fond of it!

[splinten]

[Thank fuck he's wearing sunshine because this kid is blinding.]

I meant how was your power described.

[sundays]

My power was described as being able to enhance the power of others and other objects from my fingertips, I believe? My preliminary research has confirmed this - but ah, I can't exactly enhance someone else's power without their permission...

[that would be DASTARDLY]

[splinten]

You're right. It would be goddamned villainous to pull that off.

[Definitely a buffing role, at the least.]

My thing is destroying that which I fully understand. It might be dangerous to slap some bonus modifiers on it.

[sundays]

[Chiaki tilts his head at that, curious.]

Perhaps... but are you not curious regarding the extent of what you're capable of?

[splinten]

I am, yeah. I'm just not curious enough to fuck around with that when someone could get hurt.

[He does not want to destroy a limb or something? That would be Bad.]

[sundays]

Do you think you could be capable of that?

[that said... chiaki admits that he doesn't understand how he'd amplify dirk's power either so

maybe?]

[splinten]

I think it's too much of a danger to risk it.

[So that would be bad and he doesn't want to.]

Thanks though, dude. Maybe if we can work out safer conditions.

[sundays]

[DIRK TOLD HIM THANKS.

Hence why he's still grinning easily - ]

Understood! Perhaps when we both have a better grasp of our powers? Then we may meet again!

[they will definitely meet again before that]

[splinten]

[...]

Yes. Then is when we will meet again.

[CHIAKI WHY]
