[ If you had paid visit before, you might notice that where you start seems fairly familiar. But since most of you haven't… the first thing you'll notice is red. Dark red all around you. The sky, the ground—everything is red. It's impossible to make out anything among the color. But if you attempt to stare at any particular space for too long, you'll discover it pulses, flows.

And then there is a laugh that you are probably very acquainted with by now, only this time it’s LOUDER, wracking inside your skull. ]

So we'll need to be careful with magic against him.

Re: THE PATHS

[crimsonjewel]

...I'm suddenly feeling a bit better about not having any of my magic yet. Or even remembering it, so he can't get it from my mind.

Re: THE PATHS

[unionoftheheart]

I don't think he can copy really arcane stuff like my keyblade, and I'm pretty sure he can't if there's no ritual or set pattern that the magic takes. [fff Aather] Well, unless Ryner's gotten more skills for it.

[he's got a mundane sword in the small of his back anyway, in case not risking a keyblade becomes a thing]

Re: THE PATHS

[shednotearsformagic]

There is some restrictions to it. He was able to see another spell I had when it became active, but he couldn't deconstruct the seal I put on him.

Re: THE PATHS

[crimsonjewel]

That's a relief, at least.

Re: THE PATHS

[unionoftheheart]

Do you know why...?

[also knowing why and not saying is legit under the circumstances]

Re: THE PATHS

[shednotearsformagic]

I suppose it depends how well he can see it. I think it needs to be something 'active?'

Re: THE PATHS

[unionoftheheart]

[nods]

...okay, yeah, that makes sense.

Re: THE PATHS

[shednotearsformagic]

Either way, it's better to keep magic as a last resort. Just in case.

Re: THE PATHS

[unionoftheheart]

[nods, hand resting on the hilt of his mundane sword] I'm planning on it.

Re: THE PATHS

[crimsonjewel]

A keyblade? What's that?

Re: THE PATHS

[unionoftheheart]

Oh--it's a sort of magic sword that I can summon, it's a lot more powerful than a normal sword and also does a lot of other things.

Re: THE PATHS

[crimsonjewel]

Ah. That makes sense.

Re: THE PATHS

[shednotearsformagic]

...can it function as a key too?

Re: THE PATHS

[unionoftheheart]

[nods] Yeah, it can unlock all sorts of things, even spells, though it kind of...runs by itself with a lot of that sort of thing. But if we see a door that seems to need it, I've got it.

Re: THE PATHS

[shednotearsformagic]

[Nods.] Though it should be used last. If we can only use a key once.

What do you think about the forest?

Re: THE PATHS

[unionoftheheart]

Sounds good. [to both those things, really] I'm definitely sticking with everyone.

Re: THE PATHS

[shednotearsformagic]

Then it sounds like we're going to the forest.

Re: THE PATHS

[unionoftheheart]

[chaaaaarge!]

[well more like pick our way along carefully but w/e...]

Re: THE PATHS

[ Here you go! ]
