ϡ - Chapter Ten; interesting thoughts [voice]

[folkloristic]

Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven…oh there’s no more sugar left. Hmm I’ll have to pick some up later.

[ The transmission is silent, for some time, but it’s most likely because Helios doesn’t notice it’s on. The sounds of pages turning in a book are the only source of noise to be recognized. He'll give a long sigh. ] Mushi seem to have disappeared

Naoki? Is everything alright?

[Voice]

[folkloristic]

[ He's going to sigh. He really shouldn't because he'd say the exact same thing. ] I can't possibly not worry about it when you sound like that. I'm going to come over if you don't tell me.

[ He sounds very sincere about it so you better tell him or he's gonna come over. ]

[amber_arcangel]

I was born with my magic.

[folkloristic]

Ahh yes I suppose you would be, hm? Being an angel and all that. [ A slight chuckle. ] Are you taking care of yourself dear? It's been awhile since we last spoke!

[amber_arcangel]

What about your magic?

Yes, I have been! [After find out she can get sick if she doesn't. But shhh.]

[folkloristic]

Hm? Oh1 Well usually people are born with it! Though even some today are still skeptical as to how it all works.

[oracleofdeath]

In my world you have to have some natural talent and then you can learn magic by teaching yourself or with a teacher. Even with that, no one can learn every spell that exists.

[Voice]

[folkloristic]

Has anyone ever tried? I know there's a good deal of spells in my world as well. Learning all of them takes years and years of practice unless you're something of a prodigy.

[Voice]

[oracleofdeath]

I've tried, but there are just certain elements that I can't learn the spells for. Fire magic, for instance, can only be learned by certain people.

[Voice]

[folkloristic]

Yes I've heard of people talking about that. I do wonder why that is. I don't have any trouble learning different elements!

[blue_velocity]

Hey! S'been a while, how's it goin' with you, Helios? 'You doing all right?

About your question though, just all depends on what you consider 'magic' or 'powers' and stuff like that!

[folkloristic]

Oh Sonic! It has been awhile hasn't it? I'm doing wonderfully, and yourself?

[ A pause as he considers that. ] Well I suppose things one would call supernatural, but here I guess that term shouldn't be used, haha! Magic, as in creating fire without a lighter or gas, and ice without cold or water. Things like that.

[voice | filtered] Oops, I forgot this. XD

[blue_velocity]

Doin' great myself, thanks! You're handlin' all the crazy stuff that's been going on okay?

Hm... [It was his turn to think now.] If I got my Flame Ring, I can somersault and create a fire! I only know of one other person who can do that. And the whole super speed thing, but I was born like that! It gets complicated, cuz that same other person can get as fast as me if he wants. But he never will, heh. Why're you asking?

[voice | filtered] it's no problem!

[folkloristic]

Oh I'm managing just like everyone else.

Interesting! I created a special ring of my own but it doesn't do that. Other person...like a doppelganger? Or a twin? [ He pauses. ] Oh I'm simply curious about everyone's worlds really. Nothing but idle chatter I suppose!

[voice]

[loyalotter]

[She remembers that voice! So she replies :D]

I was born with mine, the only one in my entire family to have magic of any kind. It's not possible to gain it where I'm from.

[voice]

[folkloristic]

[ And he remembers yours as well! Just give him a second to place a name. ]

Hermione, was it? Forgive me this old mind is hard with remembering! [ A pause. ] Ah how did that fire spell work out for you, dear?

The only one in your family? Interesting, usually most are fully magical families in my case. Though I suppose it does depend on who you end up with!

[voice]

[loyalotter]

[That's fine. She's patient!]

That's all right. I'm Hermione, yes. It worked better after you'd given me instruction, but it's still got a few things to work out before it'll be perfect. I ought to thank you again for your help.

Yes. Magic can skip around where I'm from. Some wizards are born into completely non-magical families, like I was, and some wizarding families with magic in every person in their tree can have a non-magical child. It's really interesting.

[voice]

[folkloristic]

[ Oh that's good then because he's slow sometimes /shot ]

Oh it's no trouble at all! I actually found it quite refreshing teaching someone. It does make me miss the castle a bit though.

Hm that is certainly something. Perhaps it's something in the genes, I've never really taken the time to fully look into the matter though.
