24 - Rogue

Who: Duke and ANYONE
Where: Plaza
When: All week! Monday and Tuesday at intervvals but... just about any time day/night for the rest of the week o/
Style: Brackets, but if you want action, I WILL FOLLOW

[ So Sunday had been a particularly bad day for Duke, although it did end up with him eating a bit more than usual because wow, it should not have been that easy for him to get knocked down-

But monday morning felt fine. Mostly because he got hit with the curse, and once again was able to sprout wings and... ignore any normal needs. Although he did find it a little harder to talk this time... Perhaps he was a different sort of angel? Still had a crystal... Oh well.

This mostly left him with a great deal more hours than he had for the past weeks, and so the ordo-Zel house is swiftly filled with the smells of apples and baking... Because if he remembers the days right, then this is close to that gift-giving holiday and...

He can't really think of much.

The problem with a full twenty four hours to spend doing something is that he ends up with way more apple pies than he has people he knows. Everyone Duke knows the name of gets 1(one) Apple Pie with 1(one) slightly magicked pie tin. The tin will keep the pies at a nice warm temperature, and will do this again if they are cooked in the pie tin. Something to do with "absorbing and storing heat from the oven and giving it slowly back over time", the note explains. Don't make cold pies in this tin, obviously.

This does leave a great deal of pies left over, and after some thought, Duke takes them to the plaza and the coral. This was newcomer time, wasn't it?

Now there's a table with pies, notes attached explaining "keep-warm pie tins", and a small paper sign proclaiming them as free apple pies. Yup.

(OOC: FEEL FREE TO FIND HIM DELIVERING PIES TO CHARACTERS WHO HE KNOWS. Just mention "christmas" or something in your tag and I will know it is his gift-giving o/ ANYONE CAN GET PIES FROM THE PLAZA...

Duke is also a Symphonian Angel for this -)

[Would that be something even someone like Lloyd could feel? Gah, there's so much he doesn't know about mana and the way people can react to it. He never felt it when people used magic before, except for things he was supposed to feel, like healing or magical attacks. He has no idea how whatever this is compares to stuff like that. Maybe he's supposed to feel it?

He eyes Duke warily, his hand stopping on his arm, seeming forgotten. Then after a moment, he closes his eyes.]


Okay, now what?
redcladidealist: (Did you just...?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-03 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[If he feels something? What's that supposed to mean? Duke isn't about to do something to Lloyd, is he? He nearly cracks an eye open to eye the man warily, but manages to hold himself back. Still, the anticipation makes his skin prickle, and he tenses, but he can't really feel something building up in the air. That's got to be his imagination.

...imagination that is getting way too good at what it does. He rubs his arms again, anxiety and tension making his heart speed up, and it still feels like there's something there, something he can't see, and the feeling is driving him up a wall.]


You're not doing anything right now, are you?
redcladidealist: (Gasp)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-03 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd opens his mouth to ask a question - what was that supposed to mean? - but the words never make it off his tongue before-

rundangerGETOUTOFTHEWAYDODGE!


Alarm shoots down his spine, and he snaps his eyes open in a panic, and before he even knows what he's doing, he's responding to the threat-]


GUARDIAN!

[A shell of mana flares to life in the air, intercepting the friendly spell before he even has a chance to figure out that it isn't a danger to him.]
redcladidealist: (Defend!)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-03 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd waits several seconds before cautiously lowering his arms, letting the shell of Guardian fade. Wary annoyance crosses his face.]

What was that for?
redcladidealist: (Huh...)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-03 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't have?

[Surprise mixes with a certain amount of chagrin, which his tries to hide by giving Duke a frustrated look.]

Then why'd you cast that spell at me? I thought you were attacking me, Duke.
redcladidealist: (Sigh)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-03 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd lets out a breath, not understanding yet, just feeling like Duke is beating around the bush.]

You were attacking me! I wasn't paying attention to when I opened my eyes. What does that have to do with anything? I just... reacted...

[He trails off as it finally starts to clue in. What had he reacted to in the first place? His expression shifts into one of uncertainty.]

...Duke, what did you do?
redcladidealist: (Oh geeze)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-04 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
But I shouldn't have known that until after you cast it!

[Duke, why don't you see how alarming this is?!]

What kind of spell was it?
redcladidealist: (Oh geeze)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-04 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[That doesn't tell him anything, Duke. But "intermediate" is a long, intimidating word. Whatever it means, it sounds pretty serious.]

So it was a really dangerous spell, with lots of mana? Something even I could feel?
redcladidealist: (Frustrated)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-04 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd's brows furrow. That can't be right.]

But there had to be something different about it. I told you, I can't feel mana. Not like that. I shouldn't have known you were about to cast.
redcladidealist: (Huh...)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-04 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, no, not really. Why?

[Not helping his confusion. His brows remain drawn in their 'v'. The mention of October, though, makes something in him stir uneasily.]

What does that have to do with this?
redcladidealist: (Eh?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-04 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lloyd opens his mouth - then, slowly, closes it, the full meaning of what Duke is saying sinking in. It wasn't about... what had happened. It was about what had happened after. A spot between his shoulder blades itches at the memory of the transformation. It's still hard to think that he really changed, that he's different, that it isn't just superficial things, like wings, but that something's changed inside of him. It's unsettling to think about. What else might have changed? And what does that mean for the stuff that makes him who he is?

Stop that. I'm still me.

He takes a breath, trying to push the thoughts away. They're just talking about being sensitive to mana. That isn't any different than... than being able to hear things better.

Only it is, because he could hear before, but he's never sensed mana-

Stop it!]


So you think, because I'm an angel now- Can you sense mana, Duke? Does being an angel change you?
redcladidealist: (Eh?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-05 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[A pause, a hesitation, as Lloyd lets that sink in. Being an angel only made Duke more capable. It didn't give him anything he didn't already have to begin with, at least when it came to mana. But Duke wasn't...

Or was he?

Curiosity chases away Lloyd's worries for a moment.]


I've never asked, but... Are you a human, Duke? I mean, you look a little different, but I never thought it mattered enough to ask. But you can sense mana and use magic, and you can't do that in my world if you're human. Is it... different, where you're from?
redcladidealist: (Did you just...?)

[personal profile] redcladidealist 2013-01-05 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
So if I studied, I could learn your magic, too?

[Not that he wants to study, but he wants to know if it's even possible.]

What's a Child of the Full Moon?
