[evocation]

hey to all the new kids.
i'm kyna. i'm a wizard, which means i can use magic, and i've been offering lessons and shit.
i know half of you are going to start with that whole "but magic doesn't exist" stuff or "i can't do it" but i've got a 100% success rate, so save the negativity.
my thing is mostly evocation, which basically means i can set shit on fire or zap it, but i know a lot of defensive spells, too.
i'm not teaching anyone any necromancy or anything, so if you guys have more cool ideas to go lich or want to try some other stupid shit, find another teacher.
everyone else can step right up though.

p.s. don't vote for the ice planet

jesus

[She'd call him out on that, except she can't. What an asshole!]

if the water planet wins i'm pushing you into the ocean so i can see how much your hair will frizz up.

[lifetothefullest]

[Victory.]

Somehow I'm not convinced you could push me anywhere. Magic is cheating.

[evocation]

just because you're freakishly tall doesn't mean you're stronger than me.

[He's totally stronger than her.]

[lifetothefullest]

I don't have to be stronger, just heavier than forty pounds.

[Which, for the record, he is.]

[evocation]

are you saying i'm scrawny or something?

[lifetothefullest]

I didn't say anything like that, but it's interesting that you did.

[If this weren't text, he would totally be doing the exaggerated tv psychologist voice.]

[evocation]

i'm ready for my diagnosis, doc.

[lifetothefullest]

If you want a diagnosis that'll be like three hundred dollars. Or some food.

[evocation]

wtf are you going to use money for here?
but i can make you food

[lifetothefullest]

I have no idea. Kindling in case we do end up on tundra planet?

I'll always accept food, though.

[evocation]

okay, then come over.
but i might poison it because you voted wrong.

[lifetothefullest]

Fair enough, I'll take the chance.

[And he'll be there soon, knocking on her door. It's been surprisingly long since they've met up in person.]

[evocation]

[It has been a while, so Kyna opens the door and immediately stands on her tiptoes to hug him.]

Hey. How's it going? You haven't died of stress yet.

[lifetothefullest]

[This is pretty par for the course with Kyna at this point, so it only takes a moment before he returns the hug with a grin.]

Amazingly, yeah, I'm still here. Things have been... You know, this place, but they could be worse. How about you?

[evocation]

Pretty good. How's that whole... thing going. You know, with the null?

[Wash may or may not have spilled the beans on that one.]

[lifetothefullest]

[He's not even slightly surprised; he would've told her himself, but things have been kind of a blur and he was pretty sure Washington would fill her in anyway.]

It's... Going, I guess. The Null haven't attacked us and the gods haven't found out about it, so that's about as good as we could possibly ask for.

[evocation]

Don't jinx it.

[But really, it says a lot that that's the best he's hoping for.]

Did you fix it yet?

[lifetothefullest]

I'm hoping if I draw attention to how unlikely it is that things are going okay, then it'll negate the risk from mentioning it in the first place.

[He shakes his head at the question, but it isn't a definitive no.]

It's kind of complicated. Alphys is dealing with that sort of thing, I'm just trying to coordinate all the people.

[Which is a nightmare, by the way.]

[evocation]

[She wrinkles her nose.]

Jesus, Lance. You should just sign up to clean everyone's toilets or some shit. It would probably be more fun.

[lifetothefullest]

You're not wrong.

[It was really awful.]

There was almost a fight in the first meeting, so that was great.

[evocation]

A fight over what?

[She's not really surprised that people started arguing right away, but still.]

[lifetothefullest]

About what to do. There are too many people involved in this, and as you know most of those here are very...

[Give him a moment to consider an appropriate way to put it.]

Sure of themselves.

[That's a nice way to put 'everyone thinks they're right and aren't afraid to say so.']
