[instead of his usual video posts, Sora's turned on only audio this afternoon on account of his hands are full-- the 'gear must be attached to his belt or something, because his voice sounds kind of far off, and almost drowned out by the sound of him shifting around a huge box filled with bottles and trinkets and who knows what else in his arms. as

[newhero]

Okay, okay, sorry!

So you're usually a wizard then, right?

[tiercelet]

I prefer the term "warlock," but yes. Essentially. [He frowns] There's something in this place that keeps my magic from working; it's...disconcerting.

[newhero]

I know the feeling. I can't use magic or summon my Keyblade here, either.

2/2

[tiercelet]

You have magic?

[newhero]

Kinda! I can't use it without the Keyblade, though. So I guess I'm only... half magical, or something.

[tiercelet]

Keyblade? [His brows furrow] I have never heard of it, but it must be a magical item if it allows you to use magic.

[newhero]

Yeah, pretty much! I use it to defeat the Heartless.

[this is kind of funny, because it was actually Merlin who helped train Sora when he first got the Keyblade.]

[tiercelet]

Sure, people don't always have the best intentions, but I wouldn't call them heartless.

...unless that's not what you meant at all.

[newhero]

[... pfffff, Sora can't help but laugh.]

Heartless are monsters! They're the darkness in people's hearts, and they steal the hearts of others.

[tiercelet]

[Looks startled at first, but eventually begins laughing with Sora]

They must be something only in your world or they're so rare I haven't come across anything like that even in Gaius' books.

[newhero]

They're pretty common where I'm from! You-- er, the million-years-old Merlin, I mean-- helped me learn how to fight them.

[tiercelet]

Really? I'm assuming he taught you to use magic through the...the...keeblay.

[newhero]

Yeah! I used magic with the Keyblade to fight the Heartless.

[tiercelet]

Keyblade, sorry. What else did he teach you?
