(SEELIE LOCKED)

[Flora is primly seated with her back straight and resting against a tree.]

Hello everyone and good day to you. For those that don't know it, my name is Flora. It's very nice to meet you and I really hope you're well, especially after what's happened. [She dips her head in greeting, and there is a gentle attentiveness to her eyes as she broadcasts; her words and concern are not surface pleasantries.]

I'll get right to it: I know that some of us were stranded following the mission, so if you need a lift, I'd be more than happy to help bring you back. I do understand wanting to take the scenic route, though; getting the lay of the land is rather important, too. There's a lot out there that's very interesting. [Her eyes light up and her smile widens for a long moment.] Like, there are so many wonderful plants here, I can hardly believe it. I--I am about to get carried away, pardon me.

[There's a delicate noise as she raises a fist and clears her throat. She smiles anew and sincerely, but not quite so wide this time and there's something almost anxious about it, like she wants to say something else, but the moment passes because she wills it to. This isn't the time to share, yet, but maybe she can meet somewhere in the middle.]

(OPEN TO ALL)

I am curious, though, if you feel comfortable answering. How many of you come from worlds with magic? How many of you don't?

Anyway, I thank you for your time. Please, take care.

[That piques her interest quite a good deal.]

Really, have you? Like what, exactly? [She can't help it, she's curious, especially the part where he thinks it's pretty close. For her something is magic, or it isn't, even if that in and of itself is infinitely broad.]

Ah, I'm sorry, I'm Flora by the way.

... My name's Tsurugi. Nice to meet you.

To answer your question, certain people in my world have abilities fueled by spiritual power. Things like projecting your aura into a physical form, or fighting with your essence. Apparently, in the future, they evolved into super strength and psychic powers and the like, but they got too dangerous, so the users decided to suppress them. [ Not without a fight, but that's a long, unbelievable story. ]

It's nice to meet you, too! [Have a smile, Tsurugi. It's free. c:]

Hmmm, I would definitely call it that. Magic is pretty broad, but...did they do it completely? They can't use that at all, any more?

[The suppression bothers her, a little. Some powers are just too much too hard to control, but those are most often sought, not things people are born with. She doesn't know everything, though, she easily concedes that.]

Yeah. There wasn't much of a choice. It was an incredible power that went beyond ordinary humans, but it also shortened their lifespans to about 20 years. Getting rid of it was the only way they'd be able to lead ordinary lives.

T-twenty?! [She can't help raising a hand to her mouth in shock.] see. I suppose that is for the best, then.

[Yeah, she can't argue that one.]

It's a shame it had to be that way though. Magic can be very hard sometimes, but it shouldn't take away from your life. It sounds like you were involved, though, were you?

[ He gives a wry smile. That about sums it up—there's no point in a power you can't live to use. ]

... It's a long story, but I was. [ It actually feels weird talking about, since he wouldn't be able to back home, the sort of fantastical thing that people probably wouldn't believe or receive well. But in a place like this, there isn't much need to stick to what's normal. ]

[Clearly, they just need to come here and get boons! 8D]

Ah, I didn't mean to pry, I'm sorry. I suppose I really have a large interest with things that do with magic.

...?

Ah, no, that's not what I meant. I don't have anything like that myself, I was just caught up in what led them to give up their power. I can use the spiritual power I mentioned earlier, but the kind that goes beyond that and drains your life comes from a genetic mutation that doesn't appear until a while in the future. ... The future part's what makes it a long story.

[ time travel is a good way to sound completely insane. and so is the rest, which is why he can't normally talk about this with anyone. ]

[Tsurugi you got dragged into a faerie war it's not like you could do much worse.] Oh, I see, so it really is a long story. [And not a way to dodge. That's cool. Oh, so much of this is interesting to her, she's not sure where to start! She smiles casually.] So, if it happens in the future, did you end up in the future somehow?

Edited 2014-05-28 08:35 (UTC)

Yeah. Our enemy at the time was from 200 years in future, and they were trying to rewrite history so the mutated genes I was talking about would be written out of existence. But my friends and I couldn't accept the changes they were making to our world, so we went through time to try and gain the power to stop them and restore the timelines. Although we eventually ended up allies. Since they couldn't beat us, they decided it would be more effective to join us instead.

I'm glad that ended well for you. I've done a few things and been to some other places, but never like that, before. Even if it was for a purpose, it still must have been an adventure.

[She smiles, both dreamy and excited.]

I mean, you went through time! Time! That had to have been something, though isn't that at least a little dangerous?

It was pretty dangerous. Some of the time periods weren't particularly safe, and there was also the risk of changing history and messing up our world. But we made a lot of friends along the way, and what we took back was worth it.

[ he smiles as he says that. he's still not used to talking about this, since back home there'd been an unspoken rule not to mention it to any who wasn't directly involved, but it looks like he's getting a little nostalgic. ]
