Aguril Catch-All!

Who: Towa Herschel ([personal profile] overworker) and you!
When: throughout the month of August
Where: Various Locations
What: Starting off strong for her first month, Towa's attacking classes, quests and life within the Coven head-first!
Warnings: None, will add as necessary


I. Coven: Classes

[As a beginner, Towa takes the classes that are offered to witches very seriously. Beyond studious, even if it's only been a few days-- she already has a variety of diligently taken notes. But even though she has no intention of neglecting any class offered, she already has a clear idea of where she wants to begin. She knows it won't be easy-- there's no telling what kind of talent (or perhaps lack thereof) she might possess. So she can't slack off. Always one of the first to arrive, she's also always staying late to practice.

There's a certain project that she's been working on. It's in it's very earliest stages, so she saves it for later-- when there are less people around. The last thing she wants to do is cause any trouble for anyone. But what she's attempting to do could realistically do just that if she's not careful.

On the desk in front of her sits a large handheld gun of some strange origins. Along with it are several large books on evocation.
]

If I'm correct, this shouldn't be so different from orbal energy. I hope I'll be able to use this...

[It would seem that she's attempting to create a form of energy that the gun can use to shoot out as a weapon. Not all parts of the process are dangerous, but if you approach her while the gun is in her hands, then you might be at some form of risk if you don't announce yourself first.]

II. Part-timers Wanted!: Precogstitchin'

[It's not enough just to put her all into classes-- no, she wants to help out. And part of that means earning money to help ease Elliot's financial troubles, since he'd been kind enough to help them all out when so many of them arrived so suddenly. While she may not have much in terms of specialized skills, she's done enough here and there to know that a part time job is well within her capabilities. Reading the wanted ads, she came across one for the quaint tailor's shop, Precogstitchin'.

Whatever your needs might be, the shop has been hard at work preparing orders of various garments. Within the shop, Towa is available to help you find whatever it is you need, place your order or retrieve your order if you had something already set up.
]

Welcome to Precogstitchin'! My name's Towa-- If you needle assistance-- [Phonetically tailored to sound like "need a little".] Just let me know!

III. Wilde Quest #1: Out of the City

[In her free time, Towa ventures beyond the Bright Wall to the Outer City to lend aide to those outside. Her first aid is elementary; based on her lessons from Thors and not yet much on the magic taught here. But she is more than capable of patching up an injury and applying the proper medicine. From the smallest scratch to the worst of the worst, she won't avert her eyes. No one is getting away without receiving the appropriate care.

And although it wasn't exactly her plan, she doesn't mind occasionally singing for a small crowd. While she wouldn't say she's anything special, it was good enough to get the crowd going a few years ago at the school festival so-- if it lifts some spirits here, then she's more than happy to do what she can.
]

Well... it's a little embarrassing but

IV. Wildcard

[Even Towa needs a break from time to time. Whether that's shopping, cooking or heaven's forbid resting there are plenty of opportunities to run into her outside of her focused tasks. As a matter of fact, in the evening, she often finds a nice spot outside to watch the stars when she gets a chance. You might even catch her dozing off in the middle of something (working so hard is bound to catch up to her sometime). Although something like that is more likely to happen while she's reading in the library, somewhere she feels safe, or out where she's watching the stars, where she's at peace. But honestly, hit me with anything!]

I. It's like seeing kirby with a gun

[Elliot liked to think that he's become a pretty good student between the rigorous expectations of Thors and working hard enough to graduate in one year at the music academy. However, for all his achievements, he still paled in comparison to people like Towa. And so like the peasant he is, he was about ready to head back to the house after a long day of classes and studying.

It's only by chance does he pass through the hallway and the door is open, allowing him to see Towa inside with a gun and books.

And well, he's used enough to guns not to be alarmed, so he'll just poke his head in curiously]


Towa? Working on something?
fiddlestick: (elliot126)

oh shi-

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-09 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll step into the room properly now, approaching her desk.]

So in other words, you're looking to get your orbal gun to fire again using evocation?

[He actually understood what was said, but paraphrasing helps. He wasn't very familiar with guns like Towa's. It was very different from what the Imperial army or Machias used, so he's glancing at it with curiosity.]

I've been doing something similar with my staff, but I've been using enchantments for it.
fiddlestick: (dot dot dot)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-09 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...it sounds more complicated than getting an orbal staff to work. [He just has to get bubbles to shoot out of it. Easy enough to enchant the sepith stone for that] Especially if you want precision targeting.

It even looks pretty different from most orbal guns I've seen...

fiddlestick: (elliot170)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-09 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, thanks... [He'll pull up a chair to sit and get a better look at the gun. He wasn't a gun expert, but he's been around enough guns most of his life to know that this is...one weird looking orbal gun. It was gun shape, but some of the parts were more reminiscence of an orbal staff. Or rather, an orbal staff if it'd be put through a trash compactor.

He listens to her explanation. Yeah....yeah, he could agree with that logic. ]


Ahaha Y-Yeah, I can't picture you with a sword... [He's pretty sure Laura's sword is the size of Towa honestly] You're already having to learn a new type of magic. Making you learn an entirely new weapon on top of it is asking a lot. Plus, the stuff available in town really isn't as advanced as orbal weapons, so ... yeah, getting this working would be better.

[It's the same reasoning he worked towards getting his staff working again. It was more than just sentimentality. There was pragmatism to using an orbal staff over the staves offered in this place.

But the question now was how to get this thing working. ]


You said you were thinking of using Evocation to power it. Did you have an idea of how to do that?
fiddlestick: (elliot113)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-16 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, looks like. But you'll do it for sure, I know that much.

[He has faith in Towa!!!!!

He pictures what she's describing]


Oh...so it'd be like you're using the gun as a way to channel evocation spells? Almost like how some use wands here?
fiddlestick: (elliot220)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-17 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's cause you're a good Towa. You're a good]

That could be really useful if it did!

Though...you should be careful about your power output. It's a lot easier for a spell to go wrong than it is with arts, especially when you're just learning.
fiddlestick: (headscratch)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-19 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods. Towa tends to be pretty responsible, so he wasn't exactly too worried about it. ]

Alright, I didn't mean to lecture. I was just meaning to say...it's not easy to control compared to arts at first, that's all.
fiddlestick: (elliot215)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-20 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Elliot didn't see what happened himself. He'd just been moving near the courtyard on his way to somewhere else when he hears the scream followed by a loud magic noise. That...isn't good.

He goes to investigate, to see if someone needs help. He's surprised when he sees it's someone he knows]


-- T-Towa?!
fiddlestick: (elliot210)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-20 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no...

[Elliot moves over, kneeling. Luckily, Elliot's impulse is not to lecture, but instead look at the injuries. Healer, after all]

Let me see what hurts-- is it your hands?

[They look....really bad, especially with that black substance covering them]
fiddlestick: (elliot220)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-20 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, hey. It's nothing you wouldn't do for me!

Still, I got faith you'll figure this one out.
fiddlestick: (elliot210)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-20 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ouch...

[First thing's first, he conjures some cold water, letting it float around her hands to both clean the black stuff off, and help cool the burns.]

Was it too much power for it?
fiddlestick: (elliot110)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2019-08-20 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[So in other words...exactly what he warned her about. Fortunately for Towa, Elliot really isn't the type to go "I told you so". He just makes a "hmmm" sound as he keeps washing and cooling those hands.]

Well, that is something. Though probably use less power next time...

[He knows there'll be a next time. There's no quitting with a minor setback.

The water disappears as he finishes cleaning up her hands. He looks over the hands, they do look better with the black stuff gone, but it's still pretty serious burns]


Hmm...I think I can heal the worst of it, but it'll still take awhile to fully heal, sorry.
