Who: All the cute little heroes
When: Day 35, evening
Where: Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Great Outdoors, Just outside the train

[ The beach fades away all at once, taking the cheery sunshine with it as evening hits all at once-- it melts away in a shower of sparkles as the familiar setting re-emerges. There are new stars in the sky above in clover pink, senna red, jasmine blue, and licorice violet.

Just before the beach disappears entirely, the bubbly voice speaks once more: ]

Wasn't that so much fun! You all rrrrrreally got to know each other, didn't you? Keep up the good work~!

[ If you had any alcohol in hand you still have it, otherwise everything from the trial is gone. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

No. I am entirely focused on winning during trials.

[which, well, actually she did have a little fun teasing crow but she can do that anytime. sucks that they had to play this one at all.]

But it is fine, I swim everyday.

That's some pretty heavy driven work ethic.

I didn't realize you liked water that much though.

I exist to win and produce results.

You would not have, I never divulged it. But it's a part of my soul.

A part of your soul?

Every entity is Bound to an element. Mine is water.

Huh. Makes sense. Like elemental locks. Mine is time and fire.

Yes, but innate, not on an ARCUS, though that is one way to look at it.

[she frowns gently, momentarily before her face resumes its blank, neutral state.]

Fire, is it?

[Typical.]

An ARCUS's locks are tuned to your innate elemental affinity though so I'm not sure what the difference is.

Yeah. Why?

[????

she really needs to pick one apart, already.]

My apologies then, I spoke out of turn.

[still DOESN'T ANSWER]

Well, only if tuned correctly. You don't have to apologize or anything. It's not like you would need to know. I imagine your primary lock is water, and maybe mirage? Just kind of a sense, i could be wrong.

I would not know, I do not have one. [yet] The finer points are beyond me. Mirage is the "magic" element, yes?

[??]

Mirage is mirage. You could as easily call it the "fate" element but it'd still be mirage.

That is how it was explained to me....

[sigh, she's having a stupid day, it seems.]

Nevermind it. Mirage is mirage, then. In that case, are you not saying that I am somewhat illusory?

Would you disagree with that?

[Look to him all the elements are the "magic" element.]

[...]

...No, I suppose not. I do not have much, if any, presence. That is fine.

Mirage has nothing to do with having a presence or not.

Illusions are entities that are not truly there, so I fail to see the difference, Instructor.

Mirage isn't just illusions. That's like, I don't know, saying Time is only death. Mirage is more like... hm. The mental element maybe would make more sense? Fate, magic, cognizance, illusions as well, they're all associated with mirage but to define it as just one would be really wrong.

I see.

[not a good day]

Please forgive my ignorance, Instructor. Or do not. How is Time defined?

Time is, well. Time. Manipulation of time to some degree. As well as death, fear, darkness, void.

[This all sounds like Rean right.]

[she rubs her head suddenly as though to ward off an incoming headache.

Images. Sakura. A game. A ruling? The judgement game, and--

Amane...80H straightens, removing her hand.]

Is that meant to represent you?

[Watching her thoughtfully.]

Represent? Not really. It's simply what I'm more in tune with elementally. Why?

...I suppose I must remind myself that I do not know you at all, really, if you are attuned to such aspects. I would not have said that of you.

???

[He's so confused now.]

I... thanks?

[Is this a thing to say thanks about he doesn't even know.]

You do not need to thank me. I am simply admitting, once again, to my own ignorance, this time of you. I take it the manipulation of time is used to speed up allies and slow down enemies?
