Current -17 F. Can we just build a series of tubes? To take us places.

It was -3 F when I left, this morning. The winds were breezy. I can only assume that, because I didn't freeze on the return trip, the sun improved things.

Bio

I'm a generally chill gremlin that can be kinda particular. I grew up with plenty of electronics and video games, mostly with games like Final Fantasy, Zelda, and StarCraft. I like to blend magic and technology in my writing, bringing fantasy into space and sci-fi.

Nah, I think that's fine the way it is. I await the second chapter. I suppose we'll see a renewed player roster?
Regan saw the sign quickly enough. "Aah, this way, huh," she murmured softly to herself, following the directions given by the sign. She took her time, peering in this shop or that on her way, but made a point not to meander. She knew she was getting close when she saw the fenced in wilderness. Who else would need that, here, but a Pokemon Professor?

She found the front of the compound shortly, "guess I'll try the door." The Ranger found it open and let herself in, poking around before finding the person that looked like she was in charge. "Professor? I was wondering if you needed a Ranger for anything today. I'm on my way to HQ to report in."
Regan grabbed a couple of brochures whole she was waiting, sitting about in the lobby while she waited for the status report from Nurse Joy. It would do to learn more about her surroundings while she had the time. From what she could gather, she'd have to catch another ferry to get over to the rear island, where the HQ was. That was... Evoru, also the smallest island. She felt like Jenny might have told her that. Ah well. She might have to make a few different landings on the way there. Rapier could carry her, but... She doubted that was comfortable for either of them.

Well, she should keep moving. If she let herself get stopped like this all the time, she'd never get there. She confirmed with the coordinator that he was comfortable seeing the Wingull back into the wild on his own, before going to find herself a bus. She had to go through Lilan Town, and she should stop to visit the professor while she was there. They'd probably be working together in the future.

She'd just managed to make the bus. Rapier reported nothing of interest, just a shrugging ruffle of his feathers. She gave him a few pets before getting into the bus, which he would follow from a comfortable distance, moving from roost to roost or simply circling lazily above. She climbed down off the bus, that brochure in her hand as she tried to decipher where should could find that professor. Maybe she'd have to stop by the Center and ask. They might even have another brochure.

Ecthel diversified his magic with rigorous training to expand his basic capabilities. He also applied some other magics to help him obtain the necessary speed for close quarters with a bow. Interesting. Aah, but the conversation turned to her, in turn. He inquired of her magic, just as she had of his. "Drawing a bow is no mean feat, indeed. As for my own magic? Hmm..." She thought for a moment, wondering how to explain it properly. Without getting weird.

"Well, it's nothing as formal as spell casting. More like a sort of... spell, or enchantment was put on me, to give me extra power. When my will and the enchantment align, the power increases. When they do not, usually if I'm being selfish or something, or if I'm unsure, it decreases. Conviction and compassion guide my power, like when things resonate with each other."

"Aah, was that sufficient? It's kind of not very straightforward."
First season only season.

I miss the first James.
I was talking mostly about the show. The first season has James talking about eating Magikarp, which I thought was great.
So, I just looked it up. Staraptor, the Predator Pokemon. That's something Pokemon totally likes to gloss over, too. Food chain.
Ah, this one was straight to the point. And brave, being so calm in front of a much larger bird. No use dancing around the subject, then. "Oh, I suppose I am a little startled about something. I just saw a rather rough fight over a meal. Fighting is one thing, but I dunno if that one would have made it on his own. Do fights often get that intense?" The Staraptor knew he was lucky, having someone that would feed him if he couldn't get food for himself. Not like that was going to happen, though.

"Ah, so you're here for magic tutelage. ... Archery? Oh, I think that could be useful. You could pin a rope in most places that way, yeah? Certain constructions would be a lot easier. If you're creative enough, you'll figure something out. Hunting comes to mind, as well." Magic archery, huh? Why didn't she think of that?

"Do you think... do you think we can save Varjan?"


"That's what I intend to find out. If, somewhere in his soul, he wants to be saved, it will be possible. We just have to reach that part of him." It wouldn't be easy, likely, but she'd sure try. And she wasn't going to be alone.

"So, you would magic archery? How does it work? Do you enchant an arrow as you fire them, or do you manifest them? I'm curious."

She had been wondering what she was going to do. If she had the magic power for it, she could have wrapped herself in her energy make, but her power had been fading the last couple of months. She couldn't get a grip on why, but she had the feeling it has something to do with the technique she'd been using in the magic games. A pool of magic she had to cheat her way into. Thinking back on it, of course it was a bad idea. Should have done more research.

But that was neither here nor there. She felt something wrap around her, which was alarming enough. Shadows? They pulled her toward the shore, and not into the depths, so that was good. Ariel was being pulled too, even better. She let it take her ashore.

Once in the shallows, she pulled herself to her feet and located the source, a mage. Well, of course it was. The woman? brought Ariel over to her and started doing... Something to her. It didn't seem like she was trying to harm her, and she had to be grateful for the assistance, so she approached slowly. "That was you, then? Thank you." She looked at Ariel obviously, "what, ah... Whatcha doin' there? Miss, er..." this wasn't anyone she could remember seeing before, "Miss shadow magic."
