[ lily potter has had something of a jarring entrance into el nysa, and has remained relatively quiet since her arrival. she's spent most of the time with her ragtag family in some sort of attempt to parse through everything that had happened. and, honestly -- lily hasn't managed to do that. she isn't entirely sure whether or not she could ever do that.

but sitting around and doing nothing is also definitely not her style. she needs to be proactive, to find her spot in this new world. get information, learn how to adapt and survive, and try to get through everything that has happened.

even in times of peace, war is still the predominating factor in how she tries to analyze what in the actual hell has happened.

so lily (a young twenty-something-year-old with a huge amount of red hair and green eyes) presents as tired, but with color in her cheeks and a brightness in her eyes. she's noticed some people have been asking for jobs, and lily knows that she needs to do that eventually, too -- but to introduce herself to her new community of ... well, refugees, lily figured something a little less to-the-point was more appropriate.

information is needed. and in this world, there are so many different people, people who are living openly, that it doesn't seem that magic is so taboo here as it is in the muggle world back home. it's almost refreshing, really, but it also leads lily to a question: ]

This entire world is miraculous, isn't it?

[ literally. figuratively. metaphorically. she's breathing, isn't she? ]

I'm new, here -- I'm sure a lot of other people are going to say the same thing in the coming weeks, and I know people who have been here for longer than I have are probably tired of the questions. [ tough shit is what she wants to say, but ah well. ] My name is Lily, and I come from a world where there are a lot of different types of people, too. I'm not sure how many skills or talents I have that will be useful to any of you, but I do want to know -- how many of you believe in, or practice, magic?

[ that's it. that's her question. but after figuring that that blunt question might lead the suspicious to not really want to answer, she continues. it's a risk, and it feels odd saying it -- but after seeing so many different people, and watching the network closely, she figures it's a risk that could probably pay off in spades: ]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

[ lily potter will make ice sculptures out of rain puddles all day if it means someone will give her something to do, thanks. ]

A variety. I'm pretty skilled in charms and potions, but I can perform plenty of other types.

[ she pauses ]

What spells do you know?

[guidetoblivion]

You synthesize potions?

[Isn't that usually something that only moogles can do? It definitely could come handy though! Riku, no! Not that kind of potions!]

Basic elemental spells, mostly. Fire, Blizzard, Thunder… that kind of thing. And Cure, I guess.

[Also, Darkness spells, which are actually his strong suit. But you know, that's not the kind of thing you like to advertise.]

We call them 'brewing' potions. It's sort of like making a giant magical soup with magical cooking.

[ which is the way she explained it to her parents, when they asked her what her subjects were. ]

I know spells for all of those types of things, but they have different names, I think. Do you create fire, ice, and -- what does thunder, do?

voice;

[guidetoblivion]

So, it's a longer process, huh?

[It sounds like at least, so it's probably a little different from what the moogles do, he guesses??? Still being able to contact her about potions sounds like a good idea... once he has some money on his name anyway.]

Thunder creates lightning magic.

[cwiclac]

It depends on the potion -- some of them have very specific brewing times, and some can be made quickly.

[ with a quick shrug ]

-- why name it Thunder, and not Lightning?

[ lily potter: staring kingdom hearts in the face since 1981 ]

What's the brewing time for healing potions?

[You know the standard kind. Might as well get the info now already, even if he can't buy any yet.

Probably, because "Thunder" is easier to shout in battle, but that sounds kinda weird even to Riku, so have a shrug back.]

I didn't name it.

[cwiclac]

[ watch me make all of this shit up ]

What are you trying to heal?

[ cuts, abrasions, and the like can be cured with a flick of the wand and some healing magic. but potions can cure powerful magical ills, depending on what they are. ]
