A few weeks ago I spoke with someone about accumulating a list of those who have returned to the stasis chambers recently in order to keep others who may be concerned about their disappearance in the know.

Since then I have lost communication with that person. And I fear he has met the fate of many of the others.

If anything, it only makes me more determined get this set-up. Especially with the still volatile state of the chambers.

I will make a list of names I accumulate further below. Leave a comment of names if you wish to add someone on.

In other news, I've been looking for a way to improve my skills on the field. I have come to realize it's nearly impossible to leave the cities of El Nyssa without any sort of magic or combat knowledge, and as much as I would prefer to stay a pacifist I realize how foolish that is. So if there is anyone around whos willing to help give lessons I am more then happy to pay for it.

Also, if there's a doctor who knows who to help sever back pain... That would be great too.

((OOC: ANd here I thought I saw you on the drop list whoops~))

Ah! You're here!

[And this is exactly why you're making this list you dummy. How easy it is to lose track of people!]

Well then.. Guess I scratch you from the list ahahah... ah...

Anyway.

Soothing sounds great and all, but I think I was looking for something more, well, long-term. I've been having this issue for about two years now and I fear it's only getting worse the more I strain myself in this world.

I suppose I was looking for something more like a medicine... Or maybe some sort of magic?

[Doesn't mean a massage doesn't sound good though.]

Forgive me, I didn't mean to make you worry!

There are individuals here who possess healing magic, it seems. For others it is learnt.

[Venom had been one of them - he remembers the strange moment they had shared outside of Khalo Village, when the other man had tried to lift the haze of the smoke. Though it had not been so much the moment itself as it had been Linneus that had been strange then, now he thinks on it.]

Oh no worries! If anything it's on me for jumping to conclusions! I'm really so sorry about that.

I can only hope I didn't freak out anyone you knew who may have seen the notice...

It still perplexes me, how those of us from off planet could simply choose to learn how to use magic like that. On the world I'm from that sort of thing didn't exist--er-- well I guess it barely existed. So the thought of picking up such skills seems to foreign to me.

[he would be laughing gently at that, if only it could be heard.]

I'm sure that won't be the case. Even if it is, I'm sure we will be able to set them right between us.

The way I understood it those who acquired such skills did so having gained favour with those above. Though they have granted many somewhat of a boon, as well? I don't understand exactly - we don't have such skills where I am from, either - but I gained a shielding spell, of sorts. It came to me in a simulation... and sort of stayed.

We can only hope. If anyone comes up to you with tears in their eyes saying they're grateful that you are still here, tell them I will take full accountability for any emotional damage.

[Lawer talk always helps clean up messy situations right?]

But anyway... Was that recently? Were you one of the people who happened to gain magic suddenly due to the that incident with the simulation rooms?

[He had been really curious about all that actually.]

I shall remember this. Hopefully you haven't caused any lasting emotional scars...!

It was recently, yes, though I've no idea how or why they came to me. I just remember that I was scared, and tried to avoid something hitting me, and it just... happened. Did you not have a similar experience?

[he would understand if not. The simulations have rarely been comfortable times for him, either.]

I didn't. But I was having a rather interesting conversation with someone about the matter recently. We were running a test to see if the effects still occurred within the stasis chambers still sometime afterward to no avail.

So you got a shield? Does it really just pop up instinctively for you? Are you able to control it or is it more of an instinctual thing? And were you really not able to use any magic before this?

[Sorry Linneus. Phoenix is filled with so many questions.]

I'm not sure what you mean? Your test was to see if those returned to stasis still had the same powers they were gifted with...?

[it's fine. He has plenty of questions of his own.]

I'm not sure if this skill is truly under my control, either. I confess I haven't tested it so far. But if you could imagine knowing a blow is coming and preparing yourself for it - bringing up your arms to defend yourself? If we compare it to an instinct it's a little like that, I think.

Not to see if they were there with the people affected. We already knew that it was fairly permanent.

[Moira still had her powers after all.]

What we were trying to figure out was if it was still happening to people even now but... Well, it seems it was a one-time thing.

[Or at least, he most certainly didn't get any new and fancy powers when he went into the simulation rooms himself a few days ago.]

Is it weird? Suddenly knowing you have gained some form of magical ability?

Still happening... you mean in the simulations...?

It's funny - I don't feel different. It feels like I should feel different, but I don't. So sometimes I forget it ever happened at all, and... I supposed a part of me also worries. What happens if it one day just goes away? If it isn't there when I need it to be?

Not that I get myself into fights on any regular basis, but given all of the upheaval a few months ago... I should want to be better prepared.

Yeah. We know people were acquiring powers all while they were helping out those who just woke up from stasis, but I'm not sure if anyone tried out the training rooms any time afterward. Or if it's still in process of giving people powers.

... That... Really is a valid worry though. It's inevitable that all of us will end up in a moment where we have to rely on physical ability sooner or later.

[Even he had to fight. And before now he had always taken on the route of the pacifist. But he had also almost lost his life so many times over because of it. Especially since he had joined the coalition.]

I suppose because of that, it's perhaps good to have something else to rely on as backup. Whether it's armor or a magical item or even some combat training.

[He knew of quite a few people have resorted to such things already.]

Indeed. I fear my talents don't lie in self-defence, unfortunately. It's more in my nature to avoid confrontation - so I'm not sure a time will come that I shall ever be tested at all.

But it's wise, I think, to prepare oneself. In whatever small way.

I wonder if anyone might be able to recommend some way of defence for one generally not well-versed in it...? Or if you might know of such a person?

I don't know anyone myself, truthfully. But a close friend of mine has made contact with people willing to train him fairly easily.

It's actually one of the other reasons I made this post but... well, doesn't seem like I'm getting much response on that front. Ahah.
