51. Darkness [voice post]

[corrinesbell]

Not to state the obvious or anything...but it's dark. And it's an experiment, too. For anyone who's new to this, they usually last for a week, and right now this seems kinda mild. ...Actually, really mild compared to some of the other stuff. I'm not gonna say not to be careful, but for now it doesn't seem like much to worry about. 

There's something that's been bothering me, though. Yeah, there are a lot of new people here...but a bunch of the people who were here before have disappeared, too. Mind if I sorta ask who's missing? 

And, hey, anyone who knows Filial magic, you can get the spirits to make light for you if you ask nicely enough. ...And you gotta deal with some teasing, too, but in this case I think it's worth it.

Sheena, I'm sorry!

[ ooc; There's a Colette-shaped hole in one of the walls. :D; ]

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Sorry? For what?

[Voice]

[paraball.livejournal.com]

I think I knocked the wall down.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Oh. ...It's okay, these places kinda fix themselves. Did you hurt yourself?

[Voice]

[paraball.livejournal.com]

No, I'm fine! I was afraid it was going to fall apart.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Well, that's good. Have you se...uh, heard from Raine or Pearl?

[Voice]

[paraball.livejournal.com]

I talked to the Professor yesterday. ... I don't know where Pearl is.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

...Really?

Re: [Voice]

[paraball.livejournal.com]

Y-Yeah.

[cigsbombsnkttns.livejournal.com]

So the bastards can do more than this. Tch.

And what's 'Filial magic'?

[corrinesbell]

They can do a lot more.

Filial magic is the way magic works around here. You kinda have to...ask the little elemental spirits of this place for help, and hope they like you enough to give it to you. They're really energetic.

[cigsbombsnkttns.livejournal.com]

Damnit. [Sound of hitting something nearby.]

So we were... 'given this magic' a long with the wings?

[corrinesbell]

You're given access to it, yeah. It's really draining and hard to get used to, though.

[cigsbombsnkttns.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter. I have to try anything to be able to protect the Tenth. [And attempt to beat those spirits in necessary too. :D;]

[corrinesbell]

The tenth what?

[cigsbombsnkttns.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.] The tenth boss of the Vongola family.

[corrinesbell]

...Sorry, never heard of it. That must be something from your world?

[cigsbombsnkttns.livejournal.com]

Figured you wouldn't. It doesn't matter, though.

[corrinesbell]

Is that guy here?

[cigsbombsnkttns.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...Huh... an experiment that doesn't bother me. It's kinda nice.

Being in the dark is scary sometimes, so be brave, Miss Sheena! I bet it'll go away before you know it.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Heh, I'm not really afraid of the dark, Simon. And it's nice to hear you liked those tarts, another friend of mine really likes them too. Have your eyes gotten any better?

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Umm... no, not really, but if everything's dark I guess it would be hard to tell, huh...

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

...Yeah, I guess that was a pretty silly question, huh?

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

No, not silly at all! Ask me again when the dark is gone, and then it won't be silly.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Heh, yeah, okay.

Oh, hey, can you tell your dad I have a question for him?

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Huh, you need Papa? Okay. He said he'd be home in a few hours!

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Huh, it's that woman from the hidden village again... Wait -- so could you explain the Filial magic in further detail?!

[corrinesbell]

Who told you I was--

...It's kinda hard to explain. Stella knows better than I do.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

You did (http://corrinesbell.livejournal.com/13253.html?thread=803525#t803525), did you forget?

...Stella, right. I'll remember that, but can't you at least explain the basics?

[corrinesbell]

No, I remembered.

You just kinda have to listen for the spirits and hope they don't tease you too much, I guess.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...Listen to--- that sounds lime meditation or something... But how'd'ya listen to them specifically?

[corrinesbell]

You just listen. That's how it goes.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...Right, listen. That sounds really boring.

[corrinesbell]

Hey, it's your business if you decide to do it or not.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm going to! I mean I get the chance to use magic.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Brother might be... I dunno yet though, Sheena..

[corrinesbell]

...Hmm. Lemme know if you hear anything from him, okay? And how're you doing?

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Okay..

I.. um.. I twisted my ankle, kinda... but I'm ok.

[smarter-twinxx.livejournal.com]

Sheena-san, I haven't seen you around for a while. This experiement makes me feel a bit uneasy. Though, you're right it's not as dangerous.

[corrinesbell]

Oh, hey, Riku. Yeah, I've been...I don't know, really. Busy, I guess. ...And total darkness makes anyone feel uneasy, but it doesn't seem too bad.

[smarter-twinxx.livejournal.com]

That's understandable. I'm glad you seem well. Some people are acting strange about it though... Yeah for the most part.

[sephira-hod.livejournal.com]

Excuse me, but could you tell me about this Filial magic?

[corrinesbell]

There's not much to tell. In order to use it the spirits of this place need to be willing to work with you.
