[ closed/semi-open ] coldest winter for me

Who: Kanda ([personal profile] overgrowth) & Vietnam ([personal profile] hoasen), and YOU (see toplevel in comments!)
When: IC 2/09 OOC 7/26
Where: Thistle Do Nicely and elsewhere in the city, and some bar.
What: kanda gets lost and is a menace to society.
Rating/Warning: alcohol consumption but otherwise none!




[ his own belongings currently stashed in the apartment he'd been given, seeing as none of it was particularly valuable to anyone but himself—except for mugen, which is at his hip, and his clothes, which he's wearing for lack of anything else—kanda has been stalking around the colony. there's no sign of an exit, which he should have expected based on what others told him. equally discomforting is the change in setting. the technology is something like the science department would dream up, and he feels lost.

he's still walking around like he's going somewhere to commit a well-planned murder, though. his pace only drops when he glances through a window and seems something odd.

lotus flowers. he glances around and sees more, of course, but they're a different color than the ones in this shop. but maybe his hallucinations have progressed and he's now dreaming up a setting for the flowers, as well—a shop full of other flowers and a huge bowl of water for the thick-petaled lotus blooms.

so that's where vietnam will find him: glaring at her poor lotuses like he's about to pull out his sword and cut them to pieces. he's probably scaring off customers. ]

Why would you not be a good teacher? [She's not even sure there is such a thing.]

A sacrifice is always something from the body of a person. [Though not the caster, specifically.] It can be hair, blood, bone, skin, teeth, nails...Glen also had an umbilical cord in his supplies, although I never found out what kind of magic that casts.

[And even if she had, she wouldn't have been able to cast it without the proper contract with a spirit.]

May I ask why it is that you do not want to teach people?

[Magic was important, it protected people and she had long ago learned to come to terms with the gross things you used to cast it. (Though even she had stared in shock at the umbilical cord when she'd been told what it was).]

I can use my own blood and hair to cast. [She didn't know magic that used anything else anyways.] I have some saved up for that purpose.

For no reason? Because you do not wish to be a bad teacher? Whether or not you are a good teacher is something for the student to decide though.That is what I have always thought.

I believe that the bottle adds unnecessary weight and it will not preserve the powers within the blood itself. I have always used old bandages. They are more than enough if I only wish to create a distraction.

Because you have been a terrible teacher before? [She's certain that you need a basis to make assumptions, Kanda.]

But they are lighter to carry. As for germs, I think it should be fine as long as you keep them dry and wash your hands properly afterwards.
protectthecastle: (thinking | okay maybe not)

But the knights back home had carried them all the time and not gotten sick. At least, I have never heard of them getting sick from something like that.

And you did not answer my question.

I disagree. I am certain that if you have never tried, you can never know anything for certain.

There is no dirt here, and this is not about eating it or not. [Is it?? She's fairly sure it isn't.] This is about your being a teacher and whether you truly are as terrible as you claim to be.

[Maybe. Or he really did want to talk about eating dirt.]
protectthecastle: (thinking | why won't you just sit down)

[personal profile] protectthecastle 2015-08-27 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
I am not. And that is not an answer either.

I will admit to not knowing enough, but I do not think that I am stupid. I am trying, and I strive to be better.

[Also he still hasn't answered her question.]

And is it that you will not answer my question or that you do not actually have an answer and wish to change the subject?

[She doesn't stop him, though she watches him with a look of confusion as he leaves. (Was it something she said?)

...strangely enough, he kind of reminds her of Eugene.]
