9th Taunt | Video/Action

[He'd thought a lot about this, long and hard. But even with all the evidence presented to him over the past year and a half, that still was never enough for him. He didn't want to rely on anything else to fight, he had his own power and his own strength. But being caught like he did so many times on the draft by shifters, relying solely on his own natural strength to survive- there had just been too many close calls.

And he had needed help more than once. How much that ate at his mind was unfathomable except to a few. One day no one was going to be there to help him, even if he hated the very idea of needing help. And if he wasn't ready, where would he be? Put into a position that he allowed for himself to be in, to die. To be sacrificed, like he was already by that bomb the cultists used on them. And next time, he wouldn't be so lucky and he knew it. He still had his reservations about contacting the spirits. But, he felt as if he couldn't avoid it much longer.

Too many what ifs. What if even something so small from the spirits would have helped him? He was sick of it, sick of knowing that might be the only thing he could rely on against their enemy. The only thing that worked when all his other powers were disabled. But even so, there's still more he wanted to know. Because if there's anything he hates, it's wasting time on things that are pointless.]


Video:

[The video feed flickers on, revealing the face of the prince, looking as serious as ever. He gets straight to the point.]

I must know. For those of you who are in contact with the spirits here, what use do you find in their power? Especially in combat. I might even have the patience to listen to a story or two regarding that, as I find it incredibly important in this matter. [He glances off to the side, knowing how this goes in Luceti.]

I know some of you would prefer to speak in person about such things. I'll be at Mythoria Café later tonight. But I won't stay long.

Action:

[As always, he's easily found. During the day, either at House 29 or the Battle Dome training, with both his sword or with his abilities. He does keep his word, appearing at Mythoria Café after he's done training and showered for the day.]
windandrain: (Neutral (Modern))

[Action of course]

[Well despite the fact that they train together in the mornings, Saori doesn't bring up the journal entry until that evening. The cafe's muted lighting feels more appropriate to talk about spirits in general, and Saori generally finds it a comforting atmosphere.

Collecting her usual Mythoria order (not fish and rice for once), and an extra plate of sushi for her friend, Saori just takes a seat in the booth across from him. Sliding over the extra, she gives him a soft smile. There isn't any teasing to her this time, because hey, this is somewhat serious. And a topic close to her heart.]


So you want to know what sorts of things the spirits here can do?
windandrain: (Modern Hong Kong Skyline)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Well after all this time, one would hope she knew that much. While he talks, she starts mixing her curry and rice and meat all up. That's hard work, okay?]

May I ask what sparked the question, first? I thought you didn't care for magic.
windandrain: (I'll listen)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Totally hungry...]

Oh, you didn't run into all of them. I ran into my fair share. That was, in large part, why I decided to learn how to use a gun. It was very helpful.[She'll take a bite before continuing on.] But it's a sound thought. It might give you an edge, though...it will attract those damn dogs.
windandrain: (Flirty)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Good, because she'd told whoever was in the kitchen to bring more every so often.]

All things considered, that might even be useful. If you draw them in, it keeps them from going after the others here who don't know how to use an edged weapon.
windandrain: (Default)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure nobody else will mind. That's an effective strategy, and definitely something useful about filial magic. [She does it herself, after all.]

But hardly the only useful thing. Which element should I start with?
windandrain: (Very Happy)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Then we'll start with the most useful, because you are practical.

[She holds up a hand and calls up an orb of blue light.]

Nala. The healing spirit. It's the easiest to contact. And it can reverse most injuries, dull pain, even repair broken bones. Honestly, it's the one I use the most.
windandrain: (Boooooring)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Sigh, alright, have it your way.]

Then knowing you? And how often you and I work together?

Tsinku. The lightning spirit. It's power mostly is to generate and redirect electricity. You could, for instance, redirect natural lightning. Or call it from pre-existing storm clouds, if you practice it enough.

Useful for conserving your own energy, since I can create those thunderheads without much effort, but I've seen how tiring days of ki-blasts can be for you. It's hard for me, too. That's why I keep storms around me most of the time, so I can just draw on and redirect that energy.

Once you've trained with it enough, you can generate electricity from your own body too. But...honestly I never use that because it's much weaker than my own, and natural lightning.
windandrain: (Heehee)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He's totally seen her move a storm inside with her.]

Generating it, yes. But redirecting it? No, no more than punching, really. Don't use it if you're around a storm. The reason I suggest it first is because I can show you how to use it better than anyone else here, and I'm the one who'd be supplying the energy on the draft. So you'd be getting live practice with me immediately.

[Teamwork.]

And it'd provide a good framework for being able to focus the energy, as lightning is more random than fire, which would make the other spirits easier to control.
windandrain: (Fuck. No.)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She gives him a level look.]

You missed the part where I said it would help you learn to control other elements as well. It's a stepping stone, because you have to start somewhere.

And don't forget I can cover an entire battlefield with a storm. You don't have to be right next to me.

[Honestly...]

Next, as far as offensive magic goes is Eferin, the flame spirit. He'll let you create and control flame. That should be relatively self-explanatory.
windandrain: (Derpy)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh...she'd forgotten!]

Alright, then we'll just move on to Kipinn, the wind spirit. The main way I've seen people use it is to speed their movements, and silence their movements as well. Stilling the vibrations in the air to make it easier to move around without being heard. Like I do, actually.
windandrain: (Playful)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
You asked for an overview, Vegeta.

And it depends, but yes, I think you can manage Tsinku. And with enough thought, you can contact any of them. Tsinku should be easy enough, considering your relationship with me.
windandrain: (Apple)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
And? Don't forget that you have a connection to me. It attunes you to the power of a storm. That's how it helps. You're more in touch with that than before.
windandrain: (Best start running)

[personal profile] windandrain 2014-06-13 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust me. I do feel it. It's a lot stronger than when we met. It will help with that contact. And perhaps Sona and Kippin too, if you want to try them.
