Train Meeting

[awakenerd]

Who: You
When: Day 23 morning
Where: The Lounge

[So you've all been invited via Chain to an "Informal Train-wide Meeting". Rean has a few things to say and then the rest of the post can be discussing things among each other really.]

Yes, under normal circumstances, so probably here too.

[voreaciously]

What are the conditions of yours?

[kinda forgetting to be a standoffish shit as time and conversation continue, she cannot resist a puzzle to save her life]

[awakenerd]

History needs to be at a point of conflict when Divine Knights are needed. And if someone can clear various conditions as an awakener they can face a trial to be my contractor. Anyone who helps them in that trial would be a secondary contractor.

[voreaciously]

[wow.


thats so convoluted

but she follows it entirely]

Well. I would speculate that this is quite a point of conflict for most, if that satisfies the inciting condition. What else is there?

[awakenerd]

A trial of strength, which frankly I can't run in this condition.

1/2

[voreaciously]

Do you mean the condition in which you have exhausted your mana? That condition?

[her tone is a little annoyed


which mean she's actually very annoyed. and she's not hiding it.]

You are asking for advice, so you are not letting this pass you by, however, I told you so. [SHE MOTHER. FUCKING. TOLD YOU.] It speaks to recklessness and arrogance that you believe you can help everyone without seeing to yourself and it is inefficient besides.

[she says this like it's the worst offense before she is suddenly not annoyed.]

I would wonder how anyone could trust that, but it seems as though I am in the overwhelming minority. [i.e. the only one who has an issue. which is fine.]

2/2

[voreaciously]

[breezily, like she didn't just vent]

So are you not able to form contracts if you cannot have boss battles trials?

[awakenerd]

[He accepts the scolding quietly and without comment. He deserves it probably? At least she cares enough to be annoyed.]

Sorry...

I've never tried but I'm going to assume so.

[voreaciously]

[she doesn't care!!!!!!!!!!1 she think you're STUPID and why is everyone so eager to listen to the idiot GOD.

WHATEVER.]

I would say to gather mana, run your trial, and form your contracts thereafter, but the first step is the problem. [honestly, though she has...complicated feelings about sex sometimes, even now, so she will not seriously push that option if he doesn't want to.]

You said you do not wish to bleed others--which, again, will not be much of an issue in some circumstances--however are you averse to consuming blood?

[awakenerd]

Y-yes??

[Why is that a question???]

[voreaciously]

[she skips ahead of the incredulity]

There are some individuals who have previously or require presently the consumption of blood to live. Just so you are aware.

[awakenerd]

That's fine but I'd rather not?

[voreaciously]

I did not say as much to make you comfortable with the prospect, rather that you should take care, perhaps, to watch your tone lest you offend someone unwittingly.

[awakenerd]

Okay. Thanks for the heads up.

[voreaciously]

Thanks are not necessary. There are alternative contracts, but you may not be compatible.

[pls don't make him compatible he needs to bang]

[awakenerd]

What kind of alternative contracts?

[voreaciously]

A contract, in this context, is simply the flow of mana from one source to another. It is not difficult to create and establish.

[not for most people anyway, but she is a genius and has a head's up with being bound to water.]

[awakenerd]

[Well his element is fire.]

How do you do it...?

[voreaciously]

[no wonder she hates you

anyway, she's a nerd so instead of saving time she is going to actually explain if even if he can't do it]

First is conception, in which a medium is selected: skin, blood, sex, the like. The aim is to establish closeness to represent the link to be created.

What follows is construction and special attention must be paid to this stage so that too much energy is not taken, nor that it does not flow backward, or any number of unintended consequences. They could easily be catastrophic. Imagine attempting to fit an ocean in a jar, for instance. Anyone worth their salt would create failsafes in the working.

Last is creation. Rather self-explanatory, it is the actualisation of the contract. Provided previous stages were done correctly, the contract will be established between the points.
