[replicatedform]

From: Yamanbagiri Kunihiro
Date: January 18

I've been training to learn the Song to Ward off Lightning spell. I believe I have mastered singing the song properly.

I'm seeking people who can use and control lightning spells to help me test it out. In return, I can owe you a favour or cook something.

I'm know that people are probably still recovering from the volcano problem the other day. If anyone's interested, we can arrange a time and place later.

[ Ryoma doesn't really care about favors; food is always nice... but hey, sometimes he just wants to help. ]

What do you intend to do to test your song?

[ ... this person can't mean--can they? ]

text;

[replicatedform]

I want to see if it works properly.

[... Exactly as it sounds like. He's asking to get zapped.]

text;

[lightninglobster]

Is there a storm coming up soon, or?

[ ... he's not dumb, but he's also a bit taken aback that anyone would stick their face intentionally into lightning. He's holding out hope. ]

text;

[replicatedform]

I want to test it and see if I truly mastered the spell.

[It's pretty reckless. But he rather find someone who can use lightning over, well, finding a storm somewhere in the world.]

[lightninglobster]

[ oh. he's serious about this course of action. well, then... ]

If you would like aid in your quest, I can channel lightning through my sword, both on the blade itself and as a concentrated strike.

text;

[replicatedform]

[Oh, hm... That brings up another possibility to his mind.]

Yes, I do. If you can do both of those, I want to test against them.

[He knows this is likely going to be dangerous.]

text;

[lightninglobster]

[ 'likely' going to be dangerous? that's like the ocean probably being wet. ]

If you're certain this is your course of action, where should I come to find you?

[ you beautiful nutterbutter bar, you. ]

[replicatedform]

[He's already dead, how much dead can he get? Well, okay, that's a stupid question.]

I'm certain. Outside of Konohanasakuya's Temple at noon, January 21.

[lightninglobster]

[ There's also double-dog triple decker dead, and then you start forgetting shit; there's not a lot left to forget as shinki, man. ]

I will be there promptly, then.

[replicatedform]

Thank you. I'll see you on the date.

[That's one confirmed helper, it really did feel like he's going to do it.]

My ninjutsu's up to the challenge! Just name the time and place!

Text;

[replicatedform]

Outside of Konohanasakuya-hime's Temple, noon on January 21. That's okay?

Text

[onehandsomeslickninja]

I'll be there, good and ready!

Text

[replicatedform]

Thank you. What do you look like?

Text

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Look for the handsome, cool, confident ninja in purple!

Text

[replicatedform]

Got it.

[An actual ninja. Considering he thought about the topic before, this definitely got his attention.

... That said, he thought of something.]

Aren't ninja usually in disguise?

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Stealth is a ninja tool, but not always! No reason here in the Far Shore, or in battle!

[replicatedform]

That make sense. So that means I look for someone who dress like a ninja?

[Like those stereotypical designs?]

[onehandsomeslickninja]

Mask and cloak, blades at the ready!

[replicatedform]

Got it. I'll wait for you on the day.

My lightning isn't magic, but I can help.

text

[replicatedform]

Thanks. As long you can control it, I don't mind what kind of lightning it is.

[As reckless as this idea might be, he's not that foolish to forget about safety precautions.]

text

[frankensteins_moe]

Where do you want to meet?

text

[replicatedform]

Outside of Konohanasakuya-hime's Temple, noon on January 21.

text

[frankensteins_moe]

Okay. I'll be there.

(ooc: Continuing here or is there a log somewhere?)

[festal]

Yamanbagiri-san!

[replicatedform]

[He did get a start when he see who's replying this time. Oh, well, uh.

Play it cool, he knows what he's doing.]

Yes, Sakura?

[festal]

( She's approaching this just as carefully, )

I didn't know you were practicing magic.

[replicatedform]

[Right. It's something he's been doing on his own.]

I wanted to expand my knowledge and skills. I don't want to feel like I don't have the skills when something happens.

[He doesn't want to feel useless.]

[festal]

Is that why?

( It.... sounds fair enough but she knows Yamanbagiri well enough to know there's more to it. Even if they're different, they have similar enough anxieties. He's... doing this so he can feel useful, isn't he? )

I think it's wonderful that you're learning but I'm curious; what are you planning to do now?

( It's rhetorical. She knows exactly what he's planning on doing. )

[replicatedform]

Yes.

[He needs more than just his borderlines, and his sword... he can't use it against the ayakashi, which dig deep into him more than he thought.

... He knows that once he types it out, his plan will look really ridiculous and reckless in plain text form.]

Since I can sing it properly, I'm hoping to find someone who can control lightning. I'm going to test out the spell and see if I can really ward off lightning.

[Seeing is believing. His song spell might sound right to his ears, but he need to see real results.]

[festal]

( It does sound ridiculous, especially when it's like this. )

Do you truly think you'll be okay?

[replicatedform]

[For the briefest of moment, there's a spark of doubt and guilt.]

Yes. I'm asking for people who can control lightning, so I can ask them not to do it too strongly.

[Well, he knows people can have different views of what's "strong". But he's hoping to avoid "unable to move" or "close to death".]

[festal]

Even so, isn't lightning powerful just by it's very nature? I've never heard of weak lightning...

I'd like to be there.

( And a moment later, )

For you.

[replicatedform]

[Honestly, he would appreciate that.]

I'd like that. I'm sorry for making you worry about this, but I'll be grateful if you're around.

[festal]

I'd be more worried if you hadn't told me at all. Next time, please, tell me, Yamanbagiri-san.

[kuroi_taiyo]

I've got spells to cast and control lightning.

Even if there's still a risk of getting hit, which is a risk with all these offers for extreme circumstances, you still want to test that kind of thing out?

[replicatedform]

That's right. I want to be certain. Since I want to do this, I prefer finding someone who can control lightning.

[And he... doesn't know everyone's skills and knowledge.]

[kuroi_taiyo]

I mean. As long as you accept and realize that you can still get hit, even with the control the caster has. Accidents happen, after all.

[replicatedform]

Yeah. If accidents happen, I can't blame anyone for it. And would probably take that as a lesson to react faster.
