Day 167 or so

[diamondsare]

Does anyone know what will become of our daemons when the Carnival leaves?

[There is a thread of anxiousness in Blue's usually calm tone.]

Comments

[otoko]

Well, I can't speak for most of the others, but we did visit the inside of a computerized device once and exist as portions of data...

[There is a cough, and very faintly can be heard a mutter from Gongenzaka to drop it, they have more important matters at hand.]

Regarding magic, I, the man Gongenzaka, did not pay anything...

[Indeed, it seems to very much be according to the sort of reputation you build with her. Literal Karma Points, practically.]

Rather, I, the man Gongenzaka, merely asked for guidance. At this time, I have been practicing to gather my personal energy-with it, I, the man Gongenzaka, am able to locate others by the feel of their spirit and energy, as well as walk upon surfaces that could typically not be stood upon.

[diamondsare]

Exceptions do not change the rule, as much as some might wish and claim otherwise.

[And that is outright frosty annoyance, followed by a brief static-pop of the 'send' button being shut off.

It takes a few minutes before anything's said again.]

Was she able to assist?

[betheman]

[Honestly, when their own radio patches through again, Marishi sounds as though she's been muffled by a hand for a few moments. That or vines, given Gongenzaka is speaking.] Aaah, entirely. She was the one who granted the instructions on how to so much as begin.

There is no doubt in my mind that she will likely insist you learn to perform the spell yourself...but with determination, and dedication, you could certainly make certain a separation of any sort is brief!

[And now, freed of the vines-] ...Human standard brief, for that matter.

[diamondsare]

I see. ..Though how long is 'human standard brief'..?

[This is not a unit of measure she recalls encountering.]

[otoko]

"Ahahahahhaa-"

Mmmh-I, the man Gongenzaka, should say a few weeks, to a month, depending on one's focus.

[diamondsare]

That is not terribly long as we judge it either.

[But ... still such a long time to be alone again..]

[otoko]

"It is, however, shorter than a year, isn't it?" [The tone is...hopeful, most certainly.]

...Depending on how the spell is performed, I, the man Gongenzaka, would at the least gladly offer assistance in practicing it.

[diamondsare]

I wonder if these spells will continue to work when we leave this place..

[By how quietly it's said, perhaps she's merely musing aloud, and not really looking for an answer.]

It is worth asking after, at the least. Magic of that sort is strange to me. Assistance would of course be appreciated.

[otoko]

No doubt, they shall! For they are spells you carry with you, performed with the power you hold inside you!

But that is wonderful-should you begin practicing it then, you need only say the word, and I, the man Gongenzaka, shall offer any assistance I can.

[diamondsare]

Then when I have spoken with the Ringmaster and achieved this smaller wish, I will be certain to contact you.
