i'll wait, so show me why you're strong

[ Generally, people need time to cope and gather themselves after a... thing... like that. Unfortunately, that's not how Vanille sees it. Her thing is avoid, and once she gets out of that hellhole that's the courtroom, she makes her way to the supplies closet, then to the library. She spends some time setting up things, pushing things aside to make room. Once she's finished, and she's met up with the Party Brigade, she makes enough invitations for everyone. She slips them under everyone's doors, or hands them out if she sees someone walking around.



Inside the library, there are candles set up to provide some soft, comforting lighting. There are pots of tea, courtesy of Mercy, pancakes made by Viktor, and books (picked out by Estelle, of course) laid out on the surrounding tables. The others have provided their own touches, and Vanille's even managed to make something: sugar cookies, which are actually very good. They're flavored lightly with all sorts of flavors--not all in the same cookie, okay--and each plate is marked with whatever flavor she's put in them.

After a successful trial, it's healthy to indulge, right? Let's mingle. ]

[why did this have to involve science, does he look like he understands a single thing about chemical reactions—

oh.]


Bombs, huh? That is an incredibly useful skill to have! Can you really create bombs with anything you touch?

[personal profile] alchemicals 2017-01-31 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Everything.

[If you get his drift.]

Everything...

AND THEN HE JUST BURSTS OUT INTO EVIL LAUGHTER, AS YOU DO]


That's incredible! You're incredibly lucky to have a skill like that! Though if it's anything like our magic this isn't something you just started doing overnight, right?

Oh, of course not. It's not a gift that I was bestowed with from on high.

It's a specifically-chosen area of study.

...I'm not sure I'll understand exactly how it works, but can you put it in simple terms?

[He can do magical bullshit but science?? No fuckin' way.]

[Hmmm...]

It's pretty much using the circle to send energy wherever we want it. The type of circle it is decides what sort of energy we're using and how it's going to show up, so you use a different circle for different things. You can make them do whatever you want, as long as you understand the circle and what sort of energy you're trying to summon.

Basically, if we're assuming it's magic, it's kind of like specializing in one particular type. You've got your dark magic stuff that you showed me, and other people probably do other stuff, yeah?

So what I do is pretty much like specializing in dark magic overall, but I really like doing the Nosferatu thing so I carved the rune into my body so I can do it anytime I want, because that's how it works back in Amestris.

[This is literally the perfect explanation for him to understand it, thank you.]

That's incredible! If that was possible then I've no doubt that every single Dark Mage and Sorcerer in Plegia would have the runes carved all over their bodies as well! Most of them already have tattoos anyway.

[fuckin' grimleal, man]

It's amazing that you have access to a power like that! I'm guessing it doesn't work here, though. Perhaps once we find our captor we can figure out how to get it working again!

[personal profile] alchemicals 2017-01-31 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, it hasn't been working. I have no idea how or why, though; it shouldn't be something that I can just lose access to.
plegia: (OH ♛)

[personal profile] plegia 2017-01-31 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds dreadful. I suppose the only answers we'll get are from the Wordsmith.
alchemicals: (002.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2017-01-31 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so.

Not like I've talked to him yet; I don't want to give him the satisfaction.
plegia: (DISGUST ♛)

[personal profile] plegia 2017-01-31 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Same here. I'm not missing any powers, but I am missing my sword. I'd like to know where it went and I do have some other questions for him, but as you said, I don't want to give him the satisfaction.
alchemicals: (016.)

[personal profile] alchemicals 2017-01-31 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have a lot of personal things, so I don't think I'm missing anything there. But I'm not about to go begging him for something like answers, either.

Precisely. I'm sure he's enjoying having power over us and there's no need to feed into that.
