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
[it's definitely getting him to let go, hands drawing immediately to his chest as fear flashes on his face and lingers, not unlike thunder rolling across a darkened sky. he looks both ready to cry and terribly angry, and the latter wins out as he turns in his seat away from ritsu.]
Fine. Whatever. Just don't give Miss Nessie-san and the others trouble, okay? You won't get off as lightly as you have with me.
[nevermind that the trembling's more from fear than anger, nevermind that he has spells he can try to keep ritsu down. tori knows he's not trained enough for that, and-- he wouldn't want to, anyway.]
no subject
he swallows hard, a soft whimper bubbling out before he can stop it. he closes his eyes, breathes in (it's too clinical, even with his own smell in his nose), and hesitantly peeks out. ]
...Just some biting. [ if he wants tori to stay his nurse, someone who won't force him into anything, then he has to play nice. he knows this. it's still hard. ] Feels kinda numb, so I bet they already put something on it.
[ (which is scary, too, thinking he'd been out, but he tries not to focus on that and focus, instead, on tori's turned back.) ]
I don't like being touched, Pinky... Tori-kun. Even when Secchan tries to pull me offa stuff I bite him, so you're not the only one, okay? I bit Kaoru-senpai in a dream too, 'cause he tried pettin' my ears without asking.
no subject
Well, it's not like I'm gonna be rough with you or anything, Ritsu-senpai. Or touch you for no reason. Everything I do is 'cause I have to, okay? I'll stop if it's too much, but you-- you have to be willing to do what I ask in the first place.
[be open. to being helped by him, as novice as he is. it really would be better if someone more experienced helped ritsu, but... having his own patient would be good practice too, and it's not like most of it hasn't been taken care of already. he's just a nurse, just a nurse.]
We're both alone here. [without their people, the ones they cling to.] So don't make things harder [more miserable] than they're gonna be.
no subject
he'd rather be miserable without him than with him. ]
Do you really gotta check?
no subject
[right now, he means. tori trusts that the senior witches have done their part in assisting his upperclassman, but-- he just wanted to know.]
Are the ears and feet the only things that've changed? After your tail from last time.
no subject
[ ritsu'll sit up, just to hang his legs over the edge of the bed - he pulls back the blankets enough to show how far that goes, careful not to reveal much else. there's scabbing and missing patches of fur particularly around his thighs and the back of them, and his legs bounce uneasily. ]
Think I'm about half bunny now... You think I'll ever go full? Be a cute little rabbit, y'know.
no subject
Eh~, maybe. Everyone's different -- even Mhairi-san isn't in her full form, see? -- so you might just be like this most of the time. It might be different during a full moon though.
[did ritsu scratch at these..? or was when he messed with the wrong people?]
If you do, make sure you have someone to take care of you, okay? A witch. You'll be totally defenseless if you turn into a bunny.
no subject
ritsu lets him get closer, the bouncing not quite stopping; his ears are back too, shoulders tense. ]
Mmm... Sure, I'd find one, I guess. Don't think either Hadachan or Iramaat-san are witchy... Well, magic, I mean. Personality's something else.
no subject
Worst comes to worst, I guess I don't mind housing you. King and Duchess won't bother you if I tell them not to after all.
no subject
...Thanks. [ turning his face away. ] I'd ask Yako-chan, but Anija'll be there... I don't...
[ "really wanna deal with him" lays heavy on his lips, as his gaze lifts across the infirmary as if to look for him - flinches back down to his hands, balled up in the white cloth. ]
Mmm, it's better if we're not together when stuff's like that. [ for a lot of reasons. ] If it's kinda a full change, then I guess it wouldn't be normally... 'cause like you said, Wolfy-san isn't a big wolf or anything... So I guess it'd be the full moon, or something... Moons.
no subject
something to look forward to and prepare for the next, as he hones his skills he guesses. or ask the older witches how to handle things. tori'll tuck in the blankets more, just to make sure his charge is comfy.] The only thing is that there's two other people like you living with me too, but Izuku's a witch, so it's not so bad. Just as like, fair warning.
[... like, he literally means people like ritsu too, but he isn't sure how to describe that beyond that wording. they're getting animal traits steadily too.]
no subject
Like me... Monsters? [ ...great. ] Well, at least Midorin and me are friendly... It'll be fine, I guess.
no subject
Um, yeah, and like, like you too. With the animal stuff. So you'll have something to bond over anyway.
[probably. bakugo doesn't. bond well with people. and mob's kind of a pushover, but he's generally nice.]
How're you and Izuku friendly anyhow, huh? I mean, he's got some questionable taste in friends outside of me, but you're totally not the first person that comes to mind.
no subject
[ Well, "Kacchan's" food charmed it, and then it attacked him for more of it before Izuku came over to give it a proper charm spell and the rest of the bento-
but this is no big deal, going out into the Wilde, charming a little monster, whatever. ]
That kinda thing. It was pretty fun.
no subject
Kinda infected, huh... You didn't catch it though? That's pretty lucky of you, senpai, it's seriously icky. ♪ At least, so I've been told.
no subject
[ .........because yes! he! went on that one too! ritsu sakuma cannot be stopped from walking into dangerous places! damn! ]
no subject
[it
was kind of terrifying, seeing what he could become. very easily become, curling his fingers idly into his forearm in a half-hug.]
They were super gross~. But... I wanna help them too, even if at that point it's apparently impossible. Impossible just means they haven't found the right way to do it yet, right?
[y yeah?!]
I mean, people thought flying was impossible once, and now we have airplanes. So it's not impossible, it's just super hard.
no subject
Think you're gonna discover it, Pinky~? How cute. [ but, well, it's a good goal to have. something to focus on. ] Mmm, how can I help out, like a good senpai... Ahhh, if I ever get infected, I'll come see you.
no subject
... Okay, but o~nly here with everyone else. They'll remember you from this time and send me to take care of you, just like I am now. You probably won't be bad enough to have to be put downstairs.
[little bit at a time... the incurable are something he wants to cure, but baby steps.]
