14th Spark || [Video]

[dragonspeak]

Hey, Travelers. [Guess who's looking much more chipper? That's right. This guy.]

Got a couple of things for you today. First, since I'm putting together a lot of information for the guide already, I thought I'd pick up one of the projects I stopped when the attacks got really bad a few months ago. I'm putting together a journal of all the combinations of house powers that people have tried already, with the results included. So why don't you all tell me what you've done before? It doesn't matter if it was successful or not. Once I'm done, I'll send it out to everyone through the bracelets, yeah?

Oh, that's right. A lot of you probably don't know who I am. [Oops, got a little ahead of himself there. Merlin laughs sheepishly.] Er--it's Merlin. My name, I mean. I guess I'm sort of the one who organises the Teacher's Council meetings around here, so if you've got questions...

[Merlin brightens suddenly.] Speaking of the meetings, we'll be having our next one in a few days. At first I wondered if I should postpone it, since we've got so many visitors in the city, but having everyone there should make things more interesting, shouldn't it? We don't know how long it'll take for the gods to fix this, so you might as well make yourselves at home in the meantime. Anyway, I'll see you all there. Anyone who wants to come is welcome to!


(ooc: The randomized pairs will be posted tomorrow, and the meeting log will be posted on Tuesday the 9th. Visitors from the 4th wall event are welcome to pop in if you like!)

I might have told Merlin I'd ask you about showing off a bit of what we've learned to do with combining shadows.

[voice, private]

[freezerburned]

Oh.

[That comes as a bit of a surprise, but hey.]

That's cool, I guess. I could do that.

[voice, private]

[hollowchild]

It's up to you, really. Yours are the shadows I know best, and it was your idea to try it in the first place.

[voice, private]

[freezerburned]

Sounds good to me.

[And Isaac shrugs before another thought comes to mind- only tangentially related.]

There's this guy- uh, Dave...sprite... [Still not over the weird name okay.]

-anyway, he has shadow control too. We fought together in the battle.

[voice, private]

[hollowchild]

Oh? I don't know him, but I think he might be friends with Jade...

Did you combine shadows with him too?

[voice, private]

[freezerburned]

Not really, no. He uses it differently than we do.

[voice, private]

[hollowchild]

Really? Different how?

[voice, private]

[freezerburned]

Just... using the shadows to offset his physical abilities. As tripwires or distractions. Not as weapons or animals or things.

Re: [voice, private]

[hollowchild]

...I never considered that. Ingenious.

You should ask him to come if he's willing to share.

[voice, private]

[freezerburned]

I'll... see what I can do. To be honest, I don't know much about these things either.

[voice, private]

[hollowchild]

We're all making it up as we go. His ideas sound different than anything I've seen, though.

[voice, private]

[freezerburned]

I'll see what he thinks about coming, I guess.

[voice, private]

[hollowchild]

Can't hurt, and it might even be interesting.

I'll tell Merlin you're willing to do a little demonstration.

[voice, private]

[freezerburned]

Thanks.

I'll see you there, I guess?

[voice, private]

[hollowchild]

You will. Until then.
