The blasted heath might be trying to devour the entire island, but it still hailed from one focal point. The campgrounds, now grey and full of ashes, held the source of the taint. A rock, so strangely hued, so alien-looking. The fissure it was in produced bubbles now under the last rays of the sun, sending the water trembling ( Read more... )

Assemble at the source of the blasted heath. Discuss the plan, get ready, get going!

Healing people was what Raven did best, but that wasn't working. She'd never tried to heal land before, but nothing was going to stop her from trying her best to put an end to this and save her friends from the infection transforming them.

"We can do this," Karla said quietly, coming up to stand next to her. She didn't look at Raven, keeping her eyes steady on the rock. "You're a Healer, I'm a Queen, and we make for an excellent team. We're going to beat this."

Raven turned her eyes to Karla and reached for her hand. "We are," she said, nodding. "And we will. No mere rock can be stronger than the passion and will of Fandom."

The safety of all her friends was on her mind, but she also remembered how shattered Jono had been after Didi had died, and she didn't want to see Karla bearing that same sorrow if they lost Warren.

"Do we have a plan yet?" Karla asked. "Other than 'win,' I mean?"

Personally, though, she thought 'win' was an excellent plan!

"No?" Raven said, taking a look around at everyone else who was gathering. "Just...heal the land, I think. Put the infection back into the rock. I believe I can draw it out of the land" -- that shouldn't be too different from healing a person, right? -- "but I am uncertain I can dispel it somewhere specific."

"Back into the rock?" Karla suggested. "Or there's always the Hell dimension you shoved Sebastian into." Her grin turned a little feral. "It can be a present for him to enjoy. Just in case he thought you forgot about him."

"That would be tempting," Raven admitted. She'd never do it, though, because causing pain to even someone like him was something she avoided, lest it give her darker side power.

"But if we are to put it back into the rock, I do not know how. When I heal the pain is dispelled into nothingness. I cannot direct it."

"Perhaps we can find someone else who is able to take that and do something with it?" Karla said thoughtfully, scanning the other mages with them. "It's not how my Craft works, but there are enough people here from different disciplines and worlds that someone else might be able to."

"If we work together, yes," Raven said, nodding. She'd done so with Karla, joined her gifts with her friend's, so it wasn't something she was unfamiliar with. She was just a lot more comfortable doing it with Karla.

"Do you know who might be good with whom to work?"

Karla shook her head. "A lot of the mages here, I don't really know how their powers work," she said, looking at Morrigan, Ronan, and Billy. "That's it. Come the fall semester, we are totally bringing the Magic Reserves back. This is ridiculous."

They'd be lucky they didn't trip over one another!

"We can ask someone?"

Re: Arrive! trigons_child August 6 2011, 23:25:29 UTC
"That is probably a good idea," Raven said. To both ideas, the Reserves and asking.

She had another question on her mind first. "Where is Warren?" she asked quietly. "How is he doing?"

Karla stumbled a bit at that question, both mentally and physically. "I'm not sure," she admitted softly. "Out here, unless I miss my guess. Hopefully not hunting us/"

Raven glanced up at the skies and murmured a silent prayer that Karla was right. "He will be all right once we have done this," she said. "If we cleanse the land, it can no longer spread its infection, and we may heal him without it resisting us."

"And then I will smack him twice for getting into this by rescuing a stupid rabbit," Karla grumbled.

Because, yes. That's totally why she was upset about the whole thing. His undignified method of infection.

"And he will smack you" -- but not really -- "for going out alone and risking becoming infected yourself."

SHE HAD NOT FORGOTTEN THAT, KARLA.
