[plot] Invasion: Day 3.2

Who: EVERYONE + Returnees
What: Day 3.2 of the Invasion!
Where: UP INTO THE SKY AND BEYOND
When: ICLy: The 1st of May! OOCly: May 16th to May 21st!
Warnings: Please warn in your subject line if anything that deserves a warning occurs; this includes R-rated things as well as things worthy of a content warning/trigger warning.

The Central info post



Description: People will get to space either with a spaceship flown by one of the characters who were clued in by Badri (though they can of course pass their knowledge on further) OR by their own means - magical girls who are space compatible, someone's own starship, mechas, etc.

They will get to a place where they will encounter more enemies, so combat types must come along - but they are not the ones who will define how this turns out. Those who will define how this turns out are others. A number of other abilities need to be combined, and a number of people that may have combat powers but don't have to must combine their forces here:
- Any characters dare to talk to the Enemy peacefully and alone, though children, animals (or people with animal companions) or grandparent types have a bonus. Important is that these characters are not initially aggressive or condescending towards the Enemy.
- The Cures with their purification powers, and any character with similar powers.
- People who belong to one of the following groups and will tell of their "field": Gardeners or people who otherwise have a strong connection to earth and nature/environmentalists; artists (especially musicians); religious persons with an inclusive approach; people who feel a strong, healthy and friendly love for another person, be it romantic or otherwise.

What this day is for: Invading the aliens' home base. Everything else that happens on Day 3 should take place in the Day 3.1 post.


How this works:
- Day 3.2 continues what happened in Day 3.1 and the days before and includes the counterinvasion. If you have any questions, please as them here!
- There will be toplevels on this post for encounters with The Boy and for general alien territory exploration. Please start your own threads freely in reply to those toplevels or to the post, if your thread doesn't fit any toplevel! Please format the subject line like this: "Location(s)/Network | ota/closed/etc". Please keep in mind that each character may change location twice per day (= a maximum of three different locations) and that day 3.1 and 3.2 are the same day.
- Fighters whose muns aren't interested in the fight/explore option can go straight after the boy, too, if they can ICly justify their character doing that! But there are also chances for Boy encounters in the fight/explore option.
- This post can be used for both network and action threads.
- Keep in mind that returnee characters must have checked in and must request their echoes if they get any.
- Please direct all questions to this thread on the General Invasion Guide
- For the returnee registration, please go here.

He laughs with delight at the praise. "So I'm doing it right?

...how are you magical? Aside from talking. I'm pretty sure horses shouldn't be able to do that, but you still do." There's a tinge of confusion in those words, but he still sounds happy.

:Well,: she says, :I don't know if I entirely have my old body back yet, but the one I had back in Valdemar--: (and there's something very good about having a name for the kingdom she came from) :--was able to draw energy from my surroundings to make me run fast and heal more easily and things like that.:

"And that is magical because it isn't how things should be, right?"

He grins. "That is pretty cool."

:Well, it's how it should be for what I was,: she says, :but not for normal people.:

[personal profile] boychild 2015-05-27 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
"...so things that shouldn't be for normal people are magical? Then everything is magical only to others?"

Despite how human the gesture is, she shakes her head. :Magic is what people where I came from called a kind of energy that certain people could manipulate to make things happen and change reality. So that's why I was magical, because I used that energy.:

"...What do you mean by changing reality?" He pokes a nearby cloud, and once he is sure that it is edible (it's the sticky nature that tells him this) he starts to eat some of it.

:Well, Sayvil says, :for example, magic energy can take an animal and change its characteristics. It could give a rabbit fangs or a taste for blood. Things like that. Not always on purpose.:

It's really a good thing she can debate these things with the youngling. That way she doesn't have to think about how there's nothing under her feet. If she doesn't look down, she won't feel dizzy and out of sorts.

"...so it can make horses talk and give them wings and make them blue, for example? But none of that is in their nature."

:No,: she agrees. :Not usually. That's why one needs magical energy to power the change and the ability to control it to make those changes.:

By now the discussion has relaxed her enough so that she takes a prim bite of the cloud as well.

The cloud ...well, tastes like cotton candy. No particular flavour, but sweet and a bit sticky, dissolving when coming into contact with saliva.

"Are you the only person on Earth who can do that?"

It's not bad. It doesn't have the substance of bread or cake or cookies, her preferred human foods, but it's not bad.

She thinks about that. :I think I may be the only person on Earth who practices that variety of magic, as it's the kind that was used in the world I had my previous lives on. But I can't do anything very fancy these days and even in those days I was nothing compared to the great mages of old. It's said they really could create life, new species of animals and intelligent creatures in the days before the Mage Wars.:

"So you're alone with how you are." He pulls his knees against his chest and wraps his arms around his legs, looking at her. "Aren't you lonely?"
wingsister: (horse: headshot)

[personal profile] wingsister 2015-07-20 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.:

Sayvil's mental voice is very quiet.

Yes, I am.:
boychild: (at the end of the day i see)

[personal profile] boychild 2015-07-22 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
His voice has quietened as well, and he tilts his head to the side a bit.

"...Have you found anything that you can do against being lonely?"

:I have friends here. In this world. They aren't the same as people from my old world. But they help. Shou wasn't Kerowyn. Torin wasn't Starwind. But they were precious to her anyway.

He thinks on this for a long while, and seems to grow more and more absent-minded as he does so.

In the end, he nods. "You should go home." And then he is abruptly gone, just disappearing into thin air, and Sayvil will see a large door where he was. If she flies or walks through it, she'll find herself back in the corridor that she came from.
