I guess I'd be right in assuming I'm not the only one who was brought here...lacking something?

[shineonwater]

Do you mean our weapons and armour?

[memoriesinsmoke]

Abilities. Sorry, I should have been more specific.

[shineonwater]

Abilities- Do you mean magic?

[That sound in the background? That sound is the scuffling of a young woman trying to find something to cast with real quick to test if her magic still works.

Too bad she forgot to turn the communicator-radio off.]

[memoriesinsmoke]

Magic, or any other kind of ability that isn't strictly physical or requires weapons.

[She doesn't miss the shuffling in the background, though.]

...you all right?

[shineonwater]

Oh- Yes.

I can't cast any magic either. Nothing, not even a small fire.

How could a world block magic?

[memoriesinsmoke]

You'd be surprised what people can do with the right equipment and a good incantation or two. [Seriously.]

[shineonwater]

[She said people.]

You think our summoners did this?

[memoriesinsmoke]

Wouldn't surprise me. If they want to avoid having us do any damage, then it'd make sense for them to disable us.

[shineonwater]

But that's absurd! How can they expect us to defend them when they take our weapons and our magic?

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be asking you this.

[She should be asking them.]

[memoriesinsmoke]

Not entirely sure, but it's likely that they have some kind of solution to that issue.

[shineonwater]

Replacement magic?

[Is not possible.]

Or maybe it just won't last.

I'm Aqua, by the way.

[memoriesinsmoke]

Who knows. It's hard to say for sure. [Liz still can't decide whether she should be grateful or angry about having her powers blocked off, so there you have it.]

Liz Sherman.

[shineonwater]

Can you still defend yourself without your abilities?

[memoriesinsmoke]

I can hold my own. [The concern's appreciated, though.]
