[ Hello, Seelie friends! Have a young man with spiky black hair, bright blue eyes, and a scar on his cheek. He has a book in his hand (surprise, surprise) and a thoughtful look on his face.

He's taking a small break from all of the war preparations, and he has some questions for you all. ]

Hi, everyone. I know this has been a really busy month for all of us, so I won't take up too much time.

I was doing a little reading on this world's magic, and I'm interested in learning more about elemental magic here, particularly earth magic -- or earth-bending as I've heard some people call it.

If you can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

[Hello, cutie. Looks like someone's been speaking to Diarmuid. Gilgamesh grins at his compass to hear of it and appears quite pleased with his efforts.]

Hard at work once again, Zack? So rambunctious... I wonder if you ever truly tire.

[colorofthesky]

[ He works very hard all the time, it's true. If he's not training, he's trying to help in Leathann. If he isn't trying to help in Leathann, he's trying to keep up with his Court responsibilities. He likes to stay busy.

Still, he looks a little sheepish at the comment. ]

I do sleep at night.

[ The nightmares, thankfully, have been getting fewer and more far between. ]

I'm very bad at vacations, though.

[babbylon]

[Gilgamesh has heard the nightmares, on occasion. He understands. He doesn't mention it. He just smiles a bit.]

I have not been able to contact her for some time, but the one known as the Avatar—Korra—should be able to aid you on your quest. Unfortunately, my own specialty lies in other areas, so I cannot provide assistance other than sincerely wishing you success.

[colorofthesky]

[ The nightmares are a terrible secret he keeps to himself. He likes to pretend they don't happen.

The tip is helpful, though. ]

Korra, huh?

[ He can't recall meeting someone by that name... ]

She didn't say where she was going?

[babbylon]

[Gilgamesh shakes his head.]

She's a wanderer by her nature. She'll return soon enough, I suspect.

[Well now this is a topic he can get behind. Long time no see, bro.]

Earth magic's my specialty.

[And the only thing he was stuck with. Sigh.]

[colorofthesky]

[ Oh hey, how's it hanging, bro? ]

Really?

[ He did not know this, Terra. Why didn't you tell him sooner? ]

How much can you do with it?

video;

[undeterrable]

Earthquakes and meteors, mostly.

[You never asked.]

I can use it for other things like dig through earth without touching it. I've been experimenting a bit since it's the only magic I have access to right now.

[colorofthesky]

[ Obviously, he should ask more questions. ]

Meteors?

[ Okay, that is not the sort of magical help he needs. The rest, however, seems promising. ]

Do you can move it?

[undeterrable]

It's kind of difficult to explain without being able to show you...

[He's never actually thought that it would get questions before, all things considered. Terra inclines his head with a shrug.]

I could if I tried.

[nibelheims]

[ cloud matches that thoughtful look on your face, zack, but for an entirely different reason. ]

I don't think I've ever seen you with a book before.

[ HMMM nope, but don't worry, you still look cool. ]

video.

[colorofthesky]

[ Wow, excuse you, Cloud. He is the picture of intellectual intelligence!! ]

I read books sometimes!

[ No, you don't, Zack. ]

Usually, I'm too busy for them.

video.

[nibelheims]

[ in the years he's known you, zack, cloud's literally never seen you so much as hold a book before this moment. ]

Busy avoiding them.

video.

[colorofthesky]

[ THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE DIDN'T HAVE THEM!! ]

I avoided paperwork. There's a difference.

[nibelheims]

[ mHMMM he doesn't look convinced at all. ]

Did you find someone to help you out?

[starspangled]

I'll help however I can. I started looking into this myself a few months ago, after I started being able to make the ground rise up.

[colorofthesky]

Really?

[ Consider his interest piqued, Steve. He didn't know you could do that!! ]

How did that happen?

[starspangled]

[Surprise!]

I asked for it. A lot of people embrace different elements here, earth's the one I felt closest to.

It wasn't very impressive at first, and it's still nothing compared to what Korra can do. But I've tried to stay on top of my training when I can.

[colorofthesky]

[ THIS IS A WONDERFUL SURPRISE c: ]

Something the monarchs gave you, huh?

[ That's actually really neat. ]

It's good that you've tried to keep up with it.

[ Training is very important. Also, Steve, you are not the first person to mention Korra to him. ]

Is Korra an expert on elemental magic?

[starspangled]

I was looking for a stronger shield. What's stronger than something's very foundation?

[And Steve is all about the shield.]

I think it would be fair to call her that, yeah. She taught me that you have to listen to the earth. It's not the fastest, but it is the strongest.

Is that why you're interested in it?

[notyetlegend]

[Oh! It's you. Merida taps a hand to her chin, humming in thought.]

I'm not sure if I can help with earth magic, but I know some other forms.

[colorofthesky]

[ Indeed, it is him! Also, the mention of "other forms" has him very curious. ]

What kind do you know?

[notyetlegend]

Runic magic, mostly. [She purses her lips together.] I've been learnin' that th' longest aside from my fire magic but...well, I can't use that anymore.

[colorofthesky]

I heard about that.

[ Mount Verla, the Void -- not very happy business, all things considered. ]

I can't use my fire magic either, right now, so I'm trying to branch out a bit.

How much runic magic do you know?

[notyetlegend]

[All the more reason to consider getting Leathann up in the air.]

My lover taught me his runes before he left. [She pauses.] I've been meanin' to branch out into this world's runic magic, but unfortunately I haven't had th' time. One thing or another kept comin' up.
