Mao's Battlebook: Entry 001 ♪ action

[blazing_heart]

<sub>[Hey Luceti!

There's this one redhead, who's walking around the village as if he was looking for someone. He doesn't really seem lost, but judging from clothes he's wearing, he's obviously new here.

After a moment of searching though, he scratches the back of his head and makes a thoughtful look. It seems he won't find his friends here. But they're okay for sure, so there's nothing to worry.

And so, instead, Mao turns around and walks up to the first person he sees.]</sub>

Excuse me! Can you tell me where am I?

If that's the case does that mean I could start casting spells whilst using a sword? Not that I'd want to, but if I did then I could, right?

[penetrated]

Essentially... [Thankfully, he's saved from musing over that by their arrival at the clothes shop!]

Ah, this is the place for now!

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Yeah.

[ Looking at Mao, he feels bad for giving all the bad news right away. He feels the need to be honest, though. ]

A lotta people go home eventually. You just might be stuck here a while.

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

Finally some good news!

_{[Mao smiles.]}

I'm a little worried about Eugene and others, though... But they're gonna be fine, so I guess I shouldn't worry.

[blazing_heart]

If you knew how to use magic, then yeah.

[blazing_heart]

This?

_{[He gives the shop a curious look. He has no money to pay for anything.]}

[accepted]

Can't be that hard to learn a basic spell or something like that, right? Then I could learn to cast a spell and attack with my sword at the same time.

[penetrated]

Mm! [He catches that look! Most likely...]

Ah, we don't have any money here, so there's no need to pay for things! ... I'm not sure if we can still call it a 'shop' like that, but that's how it is!!

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Some people have gone home and gotten dragged back here, and they all say that time doesn't move while we're here.

Are they in trouble?

[ He can sympathize; when he left he was looking for a friend he (mistakenly) believed to be kidnapped. ]

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

Really? That's weird, but I guess it's better like that.

_{[he shakes his head.]}

Not really. We were just doing something really important.

_{[like a very important mission.]}

[blazing_heart]

That's weird, but it's definitely not something you can complain about, right?

_{[because it's good things are for free here. Definitely good.]}

[blazing_heart]

I don't know if it's that easy in your world, but in mine you have to be a Force User to learn any kind of magic.

_{[and you're not one. He can tell.]}

[Action]

[immamartillo]

[ He nods. ]

You should be able to just go right back to what you were doin' before.

[ The weapon store is only a few steps away. Firo picks up the pace and holds the door open. ]

Here we are.

[accepted]

Some magic in my world needs you to learn priseputh incantations to use the magic in the air... And that's all I know about using spells on my world. [But like hell can he be bothered to remember any incantations. There's also Life Magic but that's way too different for this conversation.] Never heard of Force Users before, so I doubt myself or anyone else from Areulla is one.

[penetrated]

Yeah! Since we're being held here, I guess having money would be weird anyway, right?

[blazing_heart]

I guess so, but it feels weird to take something from a shop and not paying for it...

[penetrated]

Then... since it doesn't really use money, why not try thinking of it as something that's not a shop? Like a lost-and-found area!

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

_{[Mao will go ahead and enter the shop.]}

I wonder where're my weapons...

[blazing_heart]

To learn... what?

_{[though he isn't really all that surprised there aren't any Force Users in Caius' world.]}

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Ya might hafta dig around for them a bit. I'm not sure how this place is organized. What do they look like?

[accepted]

Priseputh! Like I said, it's just some words you say to harness magic which can be used for lots of different things. I've never bothered learning any of it myself.

[blazing_heart]

Huh? Is that all? You just learn some words and you can cast magic just like that?

_{[it's more complicated in his world!]}

[blazing_heart]

I guess you're right.

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

...Like, uh, sticks with handles?

_{[that doesn't sound too impressive does it.]}

[penetrated]

Mm! So, let's go together?
