Too Cold for Verbosity

[fightingofthespirit]

Bloody heck. Someone cast an 'absolute zero' spell or something? There goes any chance of working this week on the cann -- err. The fireworks machine. Hey, maybe I ought to go find that fireball slinging loon. Couldn't hurt to warm up a bit.

Class, your assignment is to stay indoors and get yourselves a mug of hot chocolate. Automatic F if you don't put in any marshmallows.

R-Really!? We'd be honored! W-What did you have in mind?

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. Sir Wizard, of course.

I appeared on this island with several tomes of magic -- I've been studying those quite religiously, along withany relevant material I can find in the library. It seems, though, that magic operates differently from world to world. I've had to go with my gut instinct on what could work here.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

I do, indeed, miss. Are you a student?

[for-myworld.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. ...I was just wondering...if you're there in place of Sanaki.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Sanaki . . . Ah, the woman who taught English, correct? No, I've been placed in charge of Home Economics.

[for-myworld.livejournal.com]

Oh. ...Sorry for bothering you.

[[ooc: Plus I secretly fangirl Klarth and wanted Lenalee to talk to him~]]

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

I am Klarth, by the by. If you don't mind, miss, may I have your name? I still haven't met too many people outside my class.

[for-myworld.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm Lenalee.

[twilightsmile.livejournal.com]

How about some warm green tea? Do we still get points, Professor?

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

Really? I wonder, would you be able to tell me anything about these?

[She hands him a blue crystal about the size of her palm.]

I arrived with several of these. I've been looking into books here to see if I can find out what they are, but nothing has been able to help me so far.

((That would be magicite, and yes, it is magical.))

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

((I've waited so long to use this icon; I just can't resist. >_>))

A-Ah!

There's no doubt about it. The sheer mana packed into this stone is almost physically tangible. Incredible . . . It's the exact same feeling as -- . . . Look. I haven't shown these to anyone else, but here.

[He withdraws several rings from his pocket and shows them to Terra.]

I get the same sensation from these. . . . That's why I've never doubted I have, at least, some connection with magic.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Good to meet you, miss.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh. Hmm. I suppose I can let it slide.

. . . Are you new here? I haven't seen you in my class before.

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

They are magical? Truly? But Erk said they weren't. Unless they're a different kind of magic that she can't sense... Hmm.

[She looks at the rings curiously.]

Those radiate magic as well?

[death-the-dad.livejournal.com]

You may not expect so, but! I am quite handy with any number of weapons!

[Chops in random directions!]

Along with hand-to-hand combat, too! If I can teach any of the children my personal DIRECT-NOGGIN SHINIGAMI CHOP, then they'll have nothing to fear!

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

((Err. Now I'm confused. I thought you wanted me to say it was magical. =X But magicite is used for summoning as well, correct? Just like Klarth's rings. I'll just say he's extra sensitive to summoning magic. >_<))

Hmm. You don't feel it?

When I hold the rings, I feel a sense of . . . something. Something within. I can't quite describe it.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid they may not have as much . . . hand strength as you, sir.

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

((Oh, no, I did! Erk lied to her. XD Sorry for the confusion. About the magicite - she knows there's something strange about them, but she doesn't know what. She can sense the magic, but she doesn't know it is magic.))

I feel something, but I didn't know what it was. Perhaps I'm sensitive to magic as well?

That's like what I feel when I hold these crystals! I wonder what that means.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

It seems possible that your stone may be composed of crystallized mana itself. Perhaps the gems on my rings are, as well.

That's the only hypothesis I can form at this point. There's still so much I don't know . . . It would help if I remembered something. Still at 0, here.

[allnaturalmagic.livejournal.com]

I am as well. I wish I could remember something. It really is frustrating.

Thank you so very much for your help today! I had thought these crystals were magic, but when Erk told me they weren't, it confused me. Now at least I know a little more.

[death-the-dad.livejournal.com]

Hmm, you think?

[death-the-dad.livejournal.com]

Ah, well! I can still teach them some basics!

[twilightsmile.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

And um, no, but I just recently enrolled. My name's Olette, sir.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Of course. After all, the karate chop is the most basic and essential of martial art techniques.

[shoukanjutsu.livejournal.com]

Hmm . . . I had heard about island 'events'; I find myself hoping for one to occur soon, despite the warnings of the other islanders.

And no problem at all, Miss . . . Terra, was it?
