[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.]

No, that one isn't mine.

[Easily - though he does take a moment to also be momentarily concerned.]

The area is clear, right? Do you need me to take a lap and make sure that everyone is away from the hut?

[burnblonde]

I mean we can double check if you want--but I've been trying to pinpoint where everyone is already. A few minutes ago that hut was clear and everyone else was on the beach.

[She was only mostly risky--she didn't want to actually hurt anyone.]

I have to wonder though...why are they wanting me to blow up huts?

[sundays]

Ah... excellent foresight! You're very responsible....

[And he sounds praising about it?! Chiaki likes to just compliment people... though the question does make him tilt his head.]

Is it not done to test your strength? Could it be more than that?

[burnblonde]

I'm just trying not to be a jerk. I know I'd be pissed if someone tried to blow me up while I was just enjoying some down time in a hut.

[She considers that.]

Possibly. I haven't tried a lot of variety with the explosions...but I would guess I could vary the size of the blast. Too small and I'm only going to blow holes in the side...too big of an explosion and I could hurt people nearby.

[sundays]

Then it's time to determine if that's true! I'm sure you have much untapped strength that you don't even know - and if there's anything I can do to help, say the word!

[He's just like a really eager dog...]

[burnblonde]

Aww thanks.

[She winked. Oh she'd be sure to let him know. But now was the time to try out this ability of hers. Yang turned her attention back to the hut, bringing her hands up like she was about to box with it. Apparently doing this helped her channel her powers a little better -- though she didn't realize yet that this wasn't necessary.

Above her fist a yellow orb appeared, flickering before expanding to two inches in diameter. That...seemed like a pretty decent size and hopefully would destroy the hut without actually causing TOO much damage.

Yang threw her fist forward, punching the air and also sending the ball of light flying. It hit the hut and a split second later BOOM! The hut had a large hole in it--though the blast hadn't been enough to actually send much shrapnel. The roof had collapsed through, even if the majority of it was still standing. Also, despite it being an explosion there was no heat or fire to the blast--her explosions were more concussive force than anything.]

Huh. Guess I need to make it bigger.

[sundays]

[why did she wink, was there something in her eye

Though Chiaki watches, makes an amazed "oohhhhh!!" sound as the roof collapses, and even is in the middle of applauding as she's surveying the damage - ]

Oohh, such force! You're powerful...!!

[HE'S VERY EXCITED FOR HER - though at the musing, he hums faintly before bounding over and tilting his head.]

Perhaps I can help with that....! Would you mind if I...?

[and he raises his hand - his fingertips glowing faintly with the activation of his magic. he's got this!! let him support!]

[burnblonde]

[That elicits more of a grin. Sure, she wasn't a complete ego maniac, but it was always nice to get a complement.]

Thanks.

[The smile fades a bit as she looks a little curiously at his finger...which is glowing. She has no idea what he can do with that so might as well ask.]

How do you plan to help?
