[Log] Same Shit, Different World

Who: Nida, OTA
What: Explorations and Seeking Magic Out
Where: Around the city
When: July
Warnings: None planned, will update as needed



There's a lot to be said about how weird it was to be in a place like this and still be able to feel. Feel in a way he had lost so long ago, the world feeling warm and distant somewhere in himself that didn't... didn't fully make sense. Which of course only led to him wandering, his head spinning with a sense he had forgotten. With the curl of a voice caressing his mind, cradling him with warmth and promise, the touch of a seaside breeze caressing him with all the comfort he could offer.

Magic. He can taste it in the air, and as he wanders the city, Nida will sometimes stop, abruptly, to look at people near him, or some bauble on display. Sometimes his head snaps up quickly, and he moves quickly down an alley or behind a building, only to be visible walking the top of the structure moments later. All of it with an aura of someone watching. Seeking.

"Hyne," he curses as he moves through the Historium, trying to find just what was setting his senses off there.

Or he's there on the top of the Red housing building, his eyes flirting over the city as he draws a map of the place from the high vantage, mumbling under his breath in another language.

There's even a moment when he nearly trips over someone in the market, dancing quickly aside at the last moment because his eyes had been caught up toward the path leading down toward the Curio shop.

In the end, though, he settles down near the fountain, sitting in a meditative position, eyes closed. Until, though, someone started to get close. Then his eyes flashed open, a brief flash of bronze light in his eyes before it settled back down, leaving attentive dark eyes gazing at whoever has approached.

"You feel like magic."

[OOC: Nida is capable of sensing magic, and because of his own abilities, drawing magic from the people around him. That means everyone not-native to the Aterat pings on his senses some because of a natural spell welling up from them in his senses. He can draw a small amount of that power from them, but only with permission which he will seek in-character permission every time. Feel free to message me here or on [plurk.com profile] churbooseanon to discuss.]

"Yes. There are some that draw it from nature but you can also draw from within. If you have the power or talent to do so." She had the talent but many in Spira did not. It was one of the traits that helped decide those who could become summoners.

"What's in you is the same magic that's in nature. It comes from life."

"Is that so. That's odd." It wasn't something that she was familiar with and she'd have to think on what that would mean. "Maybe we can help each other learn. There is a lot about Spira's magic that I haven't thought about. It was a part of everything."

"Oh." She paused. "Will you not draw on me?"

It wasn't that Yuna didn't want to share her abilities but she drew on her own life and she didn't want to accidentally draw too much. She didn't know what would happen... perhaps she'd fade away like those who faded with the magic of the forest.

There was so much that she still didn't know.

"Thank you." She smiled. "Sorry if that was rude of me to assume. I don't really know how this world will affect my magic. I haven't had a chance to test it out."

Yuna didn't want to start destroying things.

"That's how I feel too." She smiled. "Well, I should probably get going but it was nice to meet you. I hope I run into you again very soon."
