[Event // Action] Backdated to yesterday

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

[Things have calmed down considerably, but still it's becomming a matter of sustaining. Thankfully, with the monsters and the power out, Nina's managed to cast cure and a few offensive spells without worry of being "caught" using her natural magic. She's had a few bites and scratches here and there, but for the most part, the instructor is well. Her dark wings nearly vanish into the dark halls, though she has a flashlight.

She's looking for anything out of place to continue to secure this block of classrooms. So far, so good!]


(ooc: Feel free to throw anyone/thing at her! I'm tagging back as we speak! )

[Marco ZIPS down the hall in full-out phoenix, and if he could get away with jet noises, he'd be doing so. He pauses to make sure nothing's wrong, but so far so good and just nods mid-air. Hopefully the sparkly flames aren't too over the top. Sadly, those he can't tame down.]

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

[What. Is. He. doing? Nina's wings flare when she sees the display and uses her best instructor voice.] Whoever you are get down here now and use the techniques you've been taught!

[Don't they understand stigma?]

[fierybluebird]

[Unfortunately that just gets her a flat phoenix look and arched eyebrow. Then Marco debates landing and switching over... but no. He's going to pretend to be an actual bird now. And just calls out some stuff in phoenix.]

[Nina sighs and will remember that if she has him in class.]

[fierybluebird]

[Pirates are such stubborn students.]

[There's a sound of a glass harp not too far away before a few Grats screech into oblivion. The sounds continue as Gakupo keeps fighting with his rather noisy sword. It has a tendency to attract, well, anything alive.

Taking care of a few more, Gakupo pauses and listens, trying to hear if there are any more enemies approaching. It's easier to hear them rather than see them with his sensitive ears. There are footsteps behind him and he turns.

Only to be faced with a rather bright light. He immediately shields his eyes.]

Isn't that a bit too bright?

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

[Nina fumbles with the light and shuts it off immediately. Grats are really no big deal for anyone in the Garden, even if there were many left a few fire spells would handle them.]

I'm sorry about that! Was that harp music?

[eggplantallergy]

[Sighs in relief that the light is gone.] Thank you, and perhaps that was my sword... [He gives a light flick of his sword, producing a airy tone before flicking it again, yet the second is lower in tone.] Am I correct?

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

[oh now this is SO interesting!! Nina wants badly to touch it, but that's so rude. She tucks her hands into her pockets]

How does it work? If you don't mind me asking. I've never seen anything like that.

[eggplantallergy]

I'm not exactly sure, either. [Looks to his sword, turning it a bit.] It may have something to do with the metal used, and the way it was forged.

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

I've never done metal or weapons smithing, but this sort of thing is really interesting. what else can it do?

Sorry for the late reply! Just got back from vacation!

[eggplantallergy]

Well, it's a normal sword besides the musical notes. It can get quite loud if used properly. [He looks quite proud of that.]

oh it's fine! I'm not fast either

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

Would you mind if maybe I watched you use it a bit more? I'm really interested in everyone's fighting techniques

Oh yay! With getting back into playing, I'm taking baby steps XD

[eggplantallergy]

You...want to watch me? [Blinks in surprise.] ...funny how I got that line a lot in my home world, but not because of my fighting techniques.

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm an instructor, it'll be good to see what sort of skills I am working with so I can help people improve! [Nina adjusts her wings and offers a hand] I'm Nina.

[she's far too polite to push on something that may be uncomfortable, so she doesn't comment on the watching]

[eggplantallergy]

Ah, an instructor? Well, that makes a world of a difference. [Chuckles softly and shakes the offered hand.] Nice to meet you, Miss Nina. I'm Gakupo.

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

Gakupo. [she nods again] I'm hoping to get some runs for MAG 302 and 402 very soon. I'm sort of excited for classes. Maybe we could meet up in the practice area for a few runs?

[in her excitement, Nina forgot about break and almost jumps] I mean, after you enjoy your break!

[eggplantallergy]

Oh? I plan to take those next term. I'm still uncertain about what area to specialize in.

[Chuckles.] A break from all this chaos does sound nice, hmm?

Freeze Lancer!

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

[Nina jumps backwards and smiles at the spell. Though she knew she shouldn't encourage it, Nina couldn't help but be amazed at all of the magic that people could cast in this world.]

That was interesting. Freeze Lancer, where is that from?

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's one of my own, so I suppose you could say it's from Terca Lumireis.

It's a modification to the Splash spell - this world's interpreted it as ice, but it's actually a combination of the water and wind elements.

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

[Nina nods. Her own ice spell was very similar, though it wasn't one lance as much as a lot of them raining down.]

It's very familiar. The spells where I am from are similar. Do you only do ice?

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

Nope. I do most elements, really - even ones that don't have a counterpart in this world. They seem to have been rendered as "non-elemental."

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

[Nina laughs at that.] Yeah, I had that problem too. I can't help but be amazed at how all of us still are able to use our spells though. You'd think that the metaphysics of this place would be too different for some of us. But it seems like it isn't.

[She folds her wings and offers a hand.]

I'm Instructor Wyndia. Pleased to meet you.

Put that way, you'd think that this reality would have a hard time handling us - after all, different worlds are made up in different ways. The simple shock from the transition would, in theory, kill most of us off-worlders outright.

Now, my theory is that whatever part of this reality has twisted to accomodate us also allows for a small portion of our world to accompany us as well. Just that tiny part around us both allows us to exist, and allows us to continue using our own skills.

sorry for the delay

[whiteloyal.livejournal.com]

[Nina frowned, but wasn't unused to people not wanting to touch her. The moment of discomfort vanished, however, when Rita talked about her theories.]

So you subscribe to the theory that we all took a part of our worlds with us? I admit that my only problem with that idea is to try to discuss how then, we can heal or harm others with our magics.
