[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.]

I don't--think it matters that much. It would probably be the signet we all got, right?

[he's not actually meaning to throw water on Chiaki's enthusiasm, but he's feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment]

[sundays]

[did you know that it's impossible to dampen chiaki's spirits

because he just sort of takes that much better suggestion as a type of epiphany...?!]

Ah...! You're right! Ahaha, while I do believe that your strength of heart is also vitally important, it's probably the signet that grants us this renewed strength, isn't it?

Then - [he actually raises a hand then, unsure how actually sensitive these signets are...] - if I may?

[oneandmikleonly]

Yes, just don't--poke it too hard, you'll risk giving everyone here a headache.

[his arms were folded; lowers them to his sides carefully]

[sundays]

Understood!!

[And you know what, given that warning, he's going to go ahead and actually be? Really gentle about it? Like the lightest possible touch - though there's that telltale little glow of magic emanating from his fingertips before he pulls away!

[he -- focuses, afterwards, willing to at least attempt to access this new strange ability again. he's sure it won't work, it wouldn't happen earlier when he strained to try again, but --

-- oh god, scrambles back from Chiaki like an ungainly goose as his scales and limbs and spikes explode everywhere, his distressed yelp turning into a high-pitched roar

oh GOD the spikes on his back and tail and legs are even longer now, he was barely staying coordinated when they were mostly out of his way






gets tangled up in his flailing all of him, and falls over]

[sundays]

A bea—

[he bites his tongue

that's how alarmed he is as he scrambles back also, just barely covering his face on reflex to make sure that no sand and whatnot gets in his eyes as he watches the great creature topple over....?! WHOA.

and then he's gonna immediately stand up, moVING TO THE DRAGON'S MOUTH BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT, HE'S JUST WORRIED]

My friend!! My friend, can you hear me?! Are you alright - you are still in there, aren't you...?!

[oneandmikleonly]

[a faint telepathic buzz comes through, just sort of a scrambled groaning mental keyboardmash

eventually, gingerly, twists his head up to stare at Chiaki]

Ow.

[sundays]

[he's communicating with his mind to a dragon

that's so. cool.

and you'd think that he'd be able to keep that to himself but - ]

This is amazing...!

[nope, he's unfiltered in here]

Are you alright? What ails you?! Perhaps there is a someone with healing capabilities on the beach...?!

[oneandmikleonly]

I'm fine--! I'm really fine, this thing has--really thick scales. Just. Disoriented.

[he gingerly starts trying to undo himself from the tangle, wincing]

You changed the shape...? And I definitely couldn't transform again until you used your power...

[sundays]

[Chiaki carefully hops out of the way, just so that Mikleo doesn't have to worry about squashing him. At least he's nimble!]

Oho, really?! Then I suppose it did work after all! Please rely on me in the future to replenish your energy...!

[oneandmikleonly]

...just don't overdo it. Do you have an idea of how many times you can do that before burning yourself out?

[he's just guessing, but it stands to reason nobody's magical energy is infinite.]

[sundays]

Not yet... I was hoping that I would discover that today!

[So he'll run himself ragged???? Chiaki, please.]

[oneandmikleonly]

Ack . . . look, please stop if you start feeling dizzy! Or -- other physical symptoms!

[he is Concerned]

[sundays]

Are you worried...? Ahaha, you're truly a very kind person!

[and he'll just do a friend pat on mikleo's dragon scales....]

Don't worry! I won't overdue it - I swear! It will just be more of a burden on my new friends if I became sick, right?

[oneandmikleonly]

Indeed! It would be a problem, especially since the island doesn't seem to have a massive amount of healers on it. So--that's why.

[it's totally not why, he also just kind of likes Chiaki

jeez]

...I'm glad I could help you figure it out, though.

[sundays]

And I appreciate your help in doing so. I wouldn't have been able to accomplish it without you.

[Though he does realize - ]

In all the excitement, I don't believe I'd ever gotten your name properly, my friend?

[oneandmikleonly]

Oh--I'm sorry, that wasn't something I should have missed--it's Mikleo.
