In which Minato, Serph, and Squall have a three way
Who: The Holy Triforce of Lineface: Squall, Minato, and Serph
When: February 15th, in the afternoon
Where: The park
Style: Action
Status: Closed
[The Defense Force, in some ways, reminded Squall of Balamb Garden. Except it was way smaller, wasn't a mercenary institution, didn't have students, and was more of a loosely organized thing.
Okay, it wasn't much like Garden at all. But it did share one thing with Garden: it was a group of fighters that he held a leadership role in. Except, this time, he wasn't just out of the blue saddled with the title of Commander, told good luck, and left to run the whole damn thing by himself. He had volunteered this time.
And this time, he wasn't by himself.
Minato and Serph were his "coworkers" in a sense. He'd been in Minato's position before: given something that you obviously weren't able to handle by yourself. Maybe that was what compelled him to help. Serph was also someone who offered assistance and between the three of them, they were able to work out something that resembled organization.
With the Defense Force in order, they found themselves with more free time. Squall had been the one to suggest that they get together to spar. He was, admittedly, curious to see what the two of them could do and it would only be to their advantage if they were familiar with each other's capabilities. With the time and location arranged, Squall arrived at the park ten minutes early and waited for them to show up.]

...that second to last one sounds kind of like a better Confuse to him. He nods, showing that he understood all that.
He doesn't have anything else he wants to ask Serph. WALLFLOWER PRIVILEGES ARE NOW HIS.]
no subject
...but oh god do you see the pain behind his lineface. do you see it?]
...That sounds like Marin Karin.
[h-hurr. But he nods to Serph as well, glad that he wouldn't have beheaded him. THAT'S GOOD, BRO.]
Some of those skills sound familiar to me, I mean.
no subject
Yes, that spell is Marin Karin. Since you recognise it, then you may recognise the rest.
The freezing breath is Cocytus. The icicles are Mabufudyne. The agility sapping spell is Sukunda. [Yeah, Serph don't need no Masukunda to target multiple people!] The shield is Ice Drain. The silencing spell is Makajamon. [Minato already knows about Marin Karin, so he skips that.] The energy ray is Last Word.
no subject
Speaking of which, Squall turns to Minato.]
During our spar, I drew some magic from you. Magarudyne, it's called? It's wind magic, right?
no subject
I'm only familiar with a few of those.
[And then he tilts his head at Squall. You drained my magic, bro? Really?]
Magarudyne, yes. It's one of Beelzebub's magic skills, aside from Maziodyne--that was the lightning.
no subject
And Squall has very helpfully answered one of the questions Serph had wanted to ask him. He could wallflower, but he'll refrain... for now. Addressing Squall.]
I sensed three lights earlier. Three casts? Or do you learn the spell permanently?
no subject
Three casts. Magic isn't a natural thing where I come from and I can only use them with the help of a Guardian Force. I can't use magic on my own and I have to draw it from either my surroundings or other living things.
[A pause as he finishes off his tea.]
The latter is a better option.
no subject
If you ever need a particular type of magic, I should be able to help.
Between the twelve of my Personas, I've got at least one spell from each type...available in my world, anyway.
[His strengths had always been in versatility, after all.]
6am tags are bad; I forget Garu doesn't exist in DDSland.
How does one draw magic from their surroundings, though? Is Vatheon naturally teeming with magic? What magic can Squall draw from the city? Questions for another time, where Squall can give him a demonstration, perhaps.
Serph nods, also.]
My spells are yours to use.
[It never even occurs to him that there could be drawbacks from having magic drawn from him; Minato seems fine, after all.]
no subject
Thanks to both of you.
[He wonders how well he can handle magic from worlds that aren't his own.
...can't be that different, right?]
no subject
Mm...Was that everything, you two?
no subject
He tilts his head.]
What other foods can we get here?
[AND CAN HE EAT THEM ALL.]
no subject
That's everything, unless you have anything you want to ask.
no subject
I'm sure there's more on the menu.
[And he glances back to Squall.
HE WANTS TO KNOW EVERYTHING!!ONE!!1
but he won't ask now.]
I'm fine, I think. I can trust you guys with everything.
no subject
He gives a nod before rising from his seat.]
Do you want me to order anything for you?
no subject
Just another tea.
no subject
I'm fine, thank you.
[This is okay too sometimes, right? But he glances at his watch and stands quietly, nodding to them both.]
I should probably go.
[meetings, social links, welcoming committee!]
We should do this again sometime, though.
no subject
Too bad Minato won't be witness to Serph ordering the entire menu sans the ramen he ate earlier.]
no subject
He'll tell Minato about the impending food armageddon later.]
