QUESTS - TALK TRAVELS, THORNS A-PLENTY
1. talk travels
[DELIVERING MAIL? no problem, tori can Absolutely handle that, part-time jobs are Nothing--
that said, it's pretty hard to actually tote these things around, letters bound by twine and packages bulging out of the sack slung across his small form, so for the first half tori's just kind of physically Dying trying to be a lot stronger than he is... help him out?
after a time, he'll actually accept the bike they offer, which, for the purpose of comedy since they did have normal looking ones in victorian england too, is a penny-farthing. it looks like it'll make tori Tall, which is Awesome, but
it's not exactly conducive for heavy mail order. plus, tori's never ridden a bike before, so past the initial lessons they give him he's on his own -- and it's not great!!!]
G-Get out of the way, idiot!
[this is gonna be far too common.]
2. thorns a-plenty (consequences)
[it'd been a simple quest. just get some roses from the briar patch to the west, and tori likes flowers (and rose bush) enough to help out -- besides, it's easy money!
it's easy money, but only if you don't actually get scratched up.
tori'd been instructed not to sleep, since he'd just kind of... Go... if he did, but it's hard to actually stay awake; he keeps rubbing at his arm, which is bandaged up to keep him from scratching at it as one does with irritated skin, trying to find something to do. the ideal is Not becoming sleeping beauty.]
Ugh~. Hey, you! [yes, you.] Give me... Give me something to do, or talk to me or something! The most adorable idol in all the world wants your attention, so you'd better gratefully give it!
[he says, with a sort of hazy look, cheeks flushed with fever. the teen definitely looks more like he should be laying down, not being out and about.]
FLOWERS - TIME TO MAKE SOME MONEY
[tori's been practicing flower language, and so past the classes still being offered he'd decided to see if he can make bouquets small wreathes for other people!!! he's sitting out by one of the fountains, with a variety of flowers he's picked and whatnot, referring to his notes every now and then as he lets people pass by.
when he's feeling confident, he'll call out:]
Looking for a bouquet~? Pay by the blossom, I'll masterfully create any message you want to pass on. ♪ I'm the best in my class, you should feel honored I'm offering my services like this. ♪
MAGIC - FAILURES AND EXPECTATIONS
1. practice
- ABJURATION
[he's practicing on small scraps gotten by clumsy kids at first, but there's other parts of the magic he wants to try too:
namely, the barriers thing, because that seems Useful and he wants to be Useful. the problem is, tori can't figure out the whole... like, depth perception part of this, basically... the lime green, shimmering surfaces are absolutely visible, which is great, but he can't get the placement right--
which leads to them appearing right in front of others, sorry about that. tori is doing his damnest to not seem like he's the one doing them, but it's fairly obvious that it is given his guilty expression.]
CONJURATION
[banquets of sweets have suddenly appeared before you.
they're not technically real. they have no flavor, but the texture is sort of there for some of the sweets, and there's a warmth to the tea that breaks the sea of plates, and tori sits at the head of the table looking far too proud and happy of himself... okay, so he'd only meant for a small sort of "tower" of them, but this is fine.]
Fufufu~. Like what you see? ♪ Go ahead, take what you want, I don't mind. ♪ Have some tea too, it goes well with sweets. ♪
[mostly to see if someone does join him for teatime.]
ILLUSION
[being homesick? sucks. so the kind of illusion magic tori's practicing includes people, only those a very small handful would absolutely know.
though a little off in coloring (not quite as bad as it could be, it's only his uniform), a young man sits in a conjured chair with tori's head on his lap, petting the other with a fond smile. for once, tori seems absolutely content, almost dozing off... as he quickly learns, though, magic doesn't last long for the inexperienced if they fall asleep, so he's just watching people as they pass.
it can't replace the eichi tenshouin he knows and looks up to. this one can't talk, the movements are stilted and just wrong enough that it doesn't fully get rid of his sorrow, and the same can be said of the other people he "enjoys" his time with -- once one disappears, another takes their place...
besides the blond, there's also an aqua haired boy (though both tori and hajime have been mistaken for girls, they're that cute) that tori especially seems to delight in holding the hands of and talking, even if the other doesn't speak back... there's also a butler that brushes his hair, and a tall, silver haired individual that does the most simple of magic tricks, like "endless" trains of dully colored napkins and pulling coins out of the air.
no, none of this-- really helps, but it's definitely the thing he spends most of his time and energy on in comparison to what he should be learning. watch them slowly become worse and worse, more faded or just disappearing mid-conversation, along with tori's growing frustration.]
2. exhaustion
[after all of that, though, it becomes evident why most of tori's spells begin to backfire:
he's used far too much magic, and he keeps trying to use it while his body needs the rest, day in and day out.
his illusions become disfigured, discolored, and somewhat nightmareish if they last at all; conjuration leads to a surplus of the animals he's trying to summon, so if he looks unhappy with having twenty rabbits around him, that's why; he doesn't want to try abjuration when he's unsteady, so evocation is the unique one here... it's just that the area of effect is much too large, with how much effort tori's trying to put in, so if you're rained on--
well, look no further than the trembling teen who's trying to hold it together, hands clenched into his witchy robes and apparently on his last legs.]
Why... Why can't I do anything right today..?
no subject
[STEPPIN BACK this is all yours, friend. he'll even take out his watch device to take notes.
still insanely curious about the green-sheen ones but this comes first because he wants to see what happens.]
no subject
He's going to kneel down to see what's up. He's actually doing rune-etching training this month, it's fine...
...also I don't know what happens if we change runes but we're WITCHES and I'm gonna say we CAN just for the sake of the thread.
However, what is modulating input.
How about a pool of LITERAL FIRE spouting up? ]
no subject
that said
tori is absolute freaking out.]
What the heck did you do?! Izuku, put it out! Put it out! Heat the water, don't turn the water into flames! You must've changed the wrong one!
no subject
Izuku, meanwhile, sort of fell back on his ass when the pool went FIRE and he's like. WELL. THAT WASN'T...what he meant to do... ]
I-it - hang on!
[ HE THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT WAS A HEATING RUNE - maybe he needs to modify it a little more -
pink fire. he has achieved pink fire. ]
no subject
Ugh, you're so useless! Like this, you idiot!
[he. is not good at evocation, but he has been practicing it somewhat, and so he throws his best into it!!!
it's not rolling thunder and flashing lightning, but clouds form from the moistness of the area and battles the firepool with rain. it's like, evening it out, but something that's eternally spouting fire isn't gonna go out with some rain.]
The heat's not so bad now, right?! Just cross the whole thing out!
[which. might just turn it into gross lukewarm water.]
no subject
[ WELL...he's going to cross out the changes, though, but he's pretty sure he can achieve gross lukewarm water, fuck u meta text, it will still be better than a cool pool!!
Unless it's a hot summer day in which case...this would be wrong ]
no subject
that's the important part: the fire stops.
tori crawls closer, staring at the now pinkish water (whoops,) and then sighing as he sits back to tap out notes on the runes. like, which ones you should and should not change.]
Finally... Good job, Izuku. And you didn't even burn yourself. Right? You didn't, right? I can fix you up if you did, but you didn't, right?
[he. may be novice at that first aid bit still.]
no subject
[ ONLY MINOR BURNS, IT'S FINE,,, IT'S NOT LIKE A BROKEN BONE? ]
no subject
[because he likes showing off, especially for friends... and he also clearly doesn't mean this water they've ruined, he's taking izuku's hand to drag them both to their feet and pull him inward for those calm-inducing waters. lord knows he, himself, needs it, because that was terrifying.]
I've learned a to~n at the infirmary. ♪ This sort of thing is more common than you'd think too, especially with students.
no subject
You've been working at the infirmary here? I keep job hopping, but...maybe I should have you teach me a few healing spells.
[ Kacchan always hurts himself...
(IZUKU DOES IT MORE...) ]
no subject
Yup! Miss Nessie-san recommended me to the senior nurses there, so I've basically been shadowing them for a couple weeks now. ♪ I don't mind teaching you a few things, Izuku, since we're friends and all.
[ah.... he gets to teach someone!!!! something!!!!!! he gets to show a good side to izuku!!! to the calming green-sheen pools they go, and he'll kneel by one, pulling izuku down too.]
Why don't I show you how to heal those burns? It's easy-peasy, even for the inexperienced.
no subject
[ Well. He's gotten them before. And if he's going to keep messing with fire magic, it'd help to learn how to fix it... ]
So, please! I'll take down everything you say!
[ Mental notes. ]
no subject
[notably, tori starts to pull up his sleeves and stops; it's probably happened a few times at home, too, but it's notable now since most people would when faced with scooping up water.
still, he scoops up the water (and his sleeves get wet, yes, with a sour look)--
and feels his stomach flip, gaze swimming as he swallows thickly. it's different than how the rose thorns affected him, and he doesn't really get sick often, but it's unmistakable... what's more unmistakable is something that they've both seen in classes, that tori's familiar with in small dosages, is the blackening color of his skin from the right wrist down.
of course he drops the water back in -- he practically throws it, pressing his hands to his shirt to try and dry himself off, trembling in panic. he. can't get fully dry with his sleeves wet, but, details are not coming to mind.]
no subject
[ He doesn't mind that except he'd rather use his blood than someone else's...
but Izuku listens, and he watches.
And he doesn't miss the blackening skin, eyes widening and frantically reaching out towards Tori. ]
Tori-kun! [ He knows what that means, too. ]
no subject
[it's an immediate reprimand, squeezing his hand with a harsh tone, even if he's really not... izuku can definitely grab him though, tori's not gonna move, he just doesn't want the other to touch his hand. vertigo's a bitch.]
You'll... You'll catch it too if you do, stupid. D-Don't you remember what they said in class?
no subject
[ He doesn't care about himself that much, when it comes to other people. But okay, he's grabbing him but not his hand... ]
You...don't have a bond yet, either?
no subject
I do so much with my magic, I'm okay without one~... Probably. My other hand didn't turn black though, so, why...
[.... oh... wait, the difference between them is small, but he's reluctantly tugging up both his sleeves to see.
yeah, just the right hand and wrist are black, stopping a little before mid-forearm where darkness wraps around the skin there, like he'd been grabbed. his left is clean.]
A-Anyway, it's fine. I... I can fix it myself, when I learn from the nurses.
[maybe. hopefully. he's still not looking at izuku.]
no subject
That - I'll go with you.
[ He's not going to just drop it, Tori! ]
no subject
also ugh izuku gets to learn his other secret--]
I'm learning by myself. I haven't even asked Miss Nessie-san for help, so please please please keep it a secret, Izuku? I don't... want to trouble anyone.
[he feels bad as is, with izuku knowing this now too, but. that's just how it is now.]
no subject
Also. Also. Izuku gets it because the last thing he ever wants to do is trouble anyone, but - ]
T-Tori-kun, you definitely need at least to bond...they don't know how else to fix this kind of thing, do they?
no subject
... Mm... They can... kinda root it out, if it's still small, which is why I think I can do it myself when I learn how they do it. But... a Bond would help, I guess, I'm just-- really picky, that's all! The person has to be someone I like, you know? And...
[wait.
hm.]
And a friend. Someone I can trust. Who already knows about this.
[like. izuku. his schoolmates might worry too much, and he already doesn't really want them involved like that since he needs to be Better and not someone for them to worry over if they'd worry at all, they have bigger issues than him. like all being monsters.]
no subject
Izuku Midoriya is, thankfully, not a fucking idiot. He's oblivious sometimes, but the way Tori is speaking Very Specifically and also looking at him gets the idea across, thankfully. ]
You - you mean bond with me?
[ He's not opposed, of course, especially not if it would help... ]
