[ closed/semi-open ] coldest winter for me
Who: Kanda (overgrowth) & Vietnam (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. ]

I didn't say I was going to teach you.
[ but he's curious about the magic. ]
What kind of defense can you do with the spells?
no subject
You said that I could watch. Is it because you do not think that you can be a teacher?
[As for the spells...]
Magic can hit from a distance, and must nearly always be cancelled out by another. [Unless they knew the reflecting magic that she did, but that was supposed to be a secret. And also a royal family thing.] When the sacrifice that you use is older, the power of the magic goes down significantly and it can be used as distraction.
no subject
I wouldn't be a good one.
[ magic, fine. kanda listens, expression unchanging until she's almost done talking. at that point his eyebrows pull together. ]
Sacrifice? What kind?
no subject
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.]
no subject
[ kanda kind of makes a face at the description veronica gives of the items, but he also grew up with people who used their blood for magic. ]
That's gross. How are you going to find stuff to use here?
no subject
[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.
no subject
[ and he's certain that he wouldn't be good at it, too. ]
What, in like... bottles? [ bottles of blood?? ]
no subject
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.
no subject
Don't old bandages take up space too? And have germs and shit?
no subject
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.

And you did not answer my question.

[Maybe. Or he really did want to talk about eating dirt.]
no subject
[ he's super done oops. kanda's frustrated, running too hot, and ready to find something to punch that at least... isn't her. ]

[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?
no subject
[ he's stomping out of the gym now, picking up his things on the way and leaving without taking a shower. ]
no subject
...strangely enough, he kind of reminds her of Eugene.]
