October catch-all, OTA

Who: Willow & You. Open with one closed prompt to Wei WuXian
Where: Various cars
When: Horseshoe 16 - 30
What: Catch-all log
Warnings: None!


1. Kitchen, CLOSED to Wei WuXian:
[Hunger finally strikes, and even if she's been unhappy about this month's 'ingredient' it's still part of the food, which means she has to just suck it up and Deal With It. However as she walks into the car, something that doesn't offend her nose hits her. Spices? Whatever it is, Willow's stomach makes a loud growling noise, perhaps even loud enough for someone to hear if they paid enough attention to the noise.]

Ah.. that smells wonderful..

[Though as she's paying attention to the food she only just notices someone there and jumps like a spooked cat in her startle. How did she not see him?]

AAH! My apologies!! I did not notice anyone in here-- I was paying attention to the wonderful smell of the food.

2. Library:
[Now that there's an actual library set up and some selection of books, it's high time Willow makes her way there. The books aren't packed to the ceiling, but that's alright with her, books are a good source of knowledge. However the one book that catches her eye seems to be a children's book, one of the Merry Little Voidtrain books. She frowns, but leafs through it, finding Kheli cute enough before placing it back where it was.]

I suppose if there are children aboard, then children's books are necessary.. but where are the books about medicine, music, or magic? Or even weaponry! One must know of those!

[She mutters this more to herself, but would be unbothered if someone answered the question for her.]


3. Quiet Car:
[What better place to practice magic than the quiet car? Willow can be found there minding her business with target practice with her lightning in hitting rings of fire, getting most of them. Although one manages to go astray as a door opens.]

WATCH OUT! It will hurt if it hits you!

[although that's obvious with lightning, she's been practicing with runes enhancing the strength and speed.]

4 . Around the train, wildcard:
[Find Willow around the train doing anything really. Contact me at [plurk.com profile] TsundereShadow or TsundereShadow#6350 on discord if you want a specific prompt or to put your own, or just have at it yourselves]

I'm an excellent kisser... but I'll spare you the agony of explaining you only meant the ninjutsu.

[Edge steps to the center of the carriage, for no reason other than to be more visible.]

Holy magic falls under the purview of white magic. Black magic has some limited wind spells, but its primary elements are ice, lightning, and fire. Ninjutsu, on the other hand, features more elements.

[The gestures Edge makes are lightning-swift, twitches of the fingers into various patterns before he throws one arm to the side. Suddenly the carriage is full of lightning, crackling around in forked tongues that come nowhere near threatening him or Willow. A moment later, they're gone.]

[Quite satisfied with her reaction, Edge turns back to her with a smile that may be hidden but shines through nonetheless.]

Black magic is primarily destructive and inimical. White magic heals and purifies. There's probably a fundamental difference I don't know, because most mages can only use one or the other. Ninjutsu is, I'm told, similar to black magic, but refined for the ninjas of Eblan alone to master!

It takes a special kind of person to master both. The last one who had that I know of is the old sage Tellah, and he passed on a bit ago. [Others want to achieve it, of course, but none had yet, so Edge shrugs.] But you're right, our ninjutsu is far more suited for battle than even average black magic. It may not be as strong, but it rakes the battlefield swiftly and we can still fight with steel as well as spell!
