Jul 06, 2011 11:14

[ After the whole fiasco with having to take down Jack Horner's dragon form, Lightning's been thinking a lot lately-- namely, about her own trouble with maintaining a human form and fallout from failing against her will several months ago- both things which, frankly, she's been trying to avoid ( Read more... )

Sure thing. What's up?

[Filtered] thestormishere July 6 2011, 19:35:56 UTC

... Think you can meet me at the battle dome?

[Filtered] wingenvy July 7 2011, 01:26:17 UTC

Looking for a spar? [He already sounds pleased. A chance for a fight? Hell yeah.]

[Filtered] thestormishere July 7 2011, 01:52:48 UTC

Something like that. Bring your sword.

[ In other words, yes, you're probably going to find this pretty "interesting," Zack. ]

[Filtered] wingenvy July 7 2011, 02:01:32 UTC

Got it! I'll be right there.

[And off he goes to retrieve that sword and scamper on over to the dome. Be there in a flash~]

thestormishere July 7 2011, 03:03:36 UTC

[ And she'll just be... kind of hanging around the center of the place when he gets there, considering she didn't really specify a room or anything. She has no idea if what she wants to do has any chance of being successful, but... won't know at all until it's tried, right?

She looks up when she catches sight of him... but doesn't wave or anything because that's just not her thing. ]

wingenvy July 7 2011, 16:31:52 UTC

[And since that is his thing, she gets a wave anyway as he jogs over, rolling his shoulders.]

I made it! Have you been waiting long?

thestormishere July 8 2011, 01:19:22 UTC

Not really.

[ But uh... she pauses kind of awkwardly, pressing her hand down on the handle of her gunblade behind her, so that the straps on the holster pop with the sudden return of tautness when she releases it...

Then she just turns, giving a final glance to the control console before gesturing with her chin towards an open room. Weird mood today over here, obviously. ]

wingenvy July 9 2011, 05:14:59 UTC

[Yep, he's definitely getting the message there. Hmm, how to handle this...

Well, for the moment, he'll just follow along, hands clasped together behind his head.]

So, what's the game plan?

thestormishere July 9 2011, 12:53:19 UTC

[ Nowadays, even if she's still pretty reluctant to explain the why except in certain situations, she's a lot more open with the fact that she can even use magic in the first place. However, she still pauses a moment anyway, trying to figure out how to explain... ]

Well... the thing is, the way that using magic as a l'Cie works is that, for all the different things that can be done, there's... different 'roles' that the spells all fall under. [ She glances at him, trying to determine if he's following this. ] One for attack magic, one for healing magic....

wingenvy July 11 2011, 18:47:37 UTC

[He nods; for someone who doesn't use magic very much, this is lining up pretty well with what he already knows.]

Materia's like that, too. Different colours for different magic types, that kind of thing.

thestormishere July 11 2011, 21:33:31 UTC

[ She still kind of finds the concept of materia fascinating, so... she pauses a moment, then dips her head in a nod before continuing. ]

Before I came here, I only had three 'roles.' [ She pauses at the room's door. GUESS WHERE THIS IS GOING ZACK YOU'LL NEVER FIGURE IT OUT-- ] Now... I've got four.

wingenvy July 12 2011, 10:23:19 UTC

[Ah-ha! And the full story reveals itself.] So that's where I come in, right? You want to give that new role a test run.

thestormishere July 12 2011, 17:32:49 UTC

[ IT'S LIKE MAGIC! Uh... literally. ]

Right. There's really only so much I can do myself. [ But though the confirmation is relatively light in tone if a bit dry... honestly, she's also not entirely sure what she's doing, too - she should just be able to do them immediately, but... thanks a lot, death penalty. ] Plus... if these strengthening spells work on other people, then I definitely want to know as soon as possible.

[ Just in case. ]

wingenvy July 13 2011, 02:25:32 UTC

If you want to give it a try, I'm okay with it. What kind of magic do you get with this role?

thestormishere July 13 2011, 08:04:55 UTC

Synergy. [ Despite her odd mood, she lifts a hand, the very corner of her mouth turning up at that. ] Enhancing strength, upping defense... and adding elemental magic to your weapons for a bit more punch.
