30 - Pepe

[radiantwingedone]

Who: Duke and anyone ever-
When: 4/13 (After no-longer part of Host Club, at least)
Where: Library, on way to library, somewhere shady and reading
What: Duke's actually out of the house! ... and in the library.
[ Style ]

[ So he'd been worrying people by not leaving the house, and since he didn't have a purpose in leaving the house daily - albeit one that he'd been ignoring recently - Duke is out and about today.

Mostly to the library. Even if he had been reading at .. home, and he would just be reading at the library, clearly the change in location was going to mean something.

At least, that was his plan. Hopefully actually going out and about helps lighten worries.

... Even if he casually skirts the hostclub just for reactions. ]

There, I'm getting to know you~

[radiantwingedone]

[ Jade, Duke is giving you an unsure stare now.

Learning that he likes one-word answers counts as getting to know him? Okay then. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Now you're going to clam up? My, you'll hurt my feelings~

[radiantwingedone]

... Fragile feelings for someone who is not great company.

[ Poking fun? Duke?

Never. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade hummed.]

I don't have a good defense, of course~

[radiantwingedone]

Seems silly.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Why is that?

[radiantwingedone]

To claim you are not good at something, yet have no defense to what happens when one isn't good at something.

[ Isn't silence a natural product of people who have trouble conversing and being good company? ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I'm a fragile soul, through and through~

[radiantwingedone]

[ Yeah no Duke is staying quiet now. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Now, now, don't go quiet on me again.

[radiantwingedone]

Have a topic?

[ Because otherwise, he is going to stay quiet. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Your world. You feel like a mage, as I am, but your power feels more organic.

[radiantwingedone]

I am not certain how it can feel 'more organic'.

[ Although as he says this, that magic he keeps in a loose cloud about him sort of swirls about Jade a bit more. ]

But magic that I am most familiar with was considered part of most things, yes. Unstable, also.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Magic is somewhat limited in my world. There are magic users, and there are not. Fonons make up the entirety of the world, but only some people inherit the ability to tap into the Planet's core.

[It was odd to try to explain.]

I suppose, in a way, yours feels more related to the earth itself, not just the core.

[Does that make sense? Now people should know why he always gets Guy to do this.]

[radiantwingedone]

.... Magic is a matter of study and possessing an tool for aiding, or a bloodline.

[ A very slight nod, this makes sense to him. ]

More 'organic' as it is less 'restricted'. Some may argue; great concentrations of Aer - term for magic - are hazardous for... most everything.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I would say that. Even in my world, there are some artes that are forbidden and some artes that have been locked away to prevent their use.

[All of which Jade had his hands on at one point, and still possessed some of them.]

What exactly is the outcome of an over-concentration of aer?

[radiantwingedone]

Hmn. [ He'll join that boat; Duke made one that really shouldn't be used- ]

Death. Concentrations reach visible and green first; illness in humans, enhanced growth rates in plants, and extreme aggressiveness. Causes havoc on blastia - version of.. magi-tech. Generally harmless in the longrun, worse on children. When concentration reaches red, starts taking aer out of life around it; plants wither, and occasionally it.. moved on its own. Contact is ill advised, for those humanoids.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Pensive expression. How interesting.]

Odd that it would react that badly. If there a solution to that? Can it be contained?

[radiantwingedone]

Usually, only rarely reaches visible-green stage. Occasional natural occurrences, which would be tamed by a creature who lived off of aer. Normally,use of blastia - world's form of magi-tech - would cause the occurrences more often, but still rare enough that it is vaguely known and little more. Red requires intentional disregard for safety or a great deal of improper use, as well as preventing the aid of the creatures.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

So it's able to be controlled.

[He wondered if that could ever happen to fonons...]

[radiantwingedone]

Is, yes. Only problems occur once concentrated.

[ And a slight hand wave to say 'he just explained that'. ]

Known methods simply leaned toward unbalanced aer. In the pause between throwing out the old way and finding the new, home.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

How is it converted to Mana, then, without making it unstable?

[radiantwingedone]

.... Brave Vesperia did it, thus one of them would know more - however are none remain in the bubble. From what I felt... it is binding aer to an element and a consciousness to guide it. They called them 'spirits'.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Hmm.. Odd..
