[Totally running away from that now.]

So you can plant mines with magic too? Here watch. [He focuses a magic arrow and plants it into the ground.] Mine goes off when someone treads on it though.

[She watches him fire the arrow, very interested in how it would work. She was about to ask the details, but the loud explosion - coupled together with a decent display of bright lights - from the enormous bomb drowns out her voice.]

Ah, the power of the Boar can't do that. But I hear if you master it, you can make three bombs. I can't do that yet. [Unless I get angry. But then I faint.] That's called Cherry Bomb three, I think.

[She sighs a little, then falls onto her rear. Ah, she was tired. Stupid power caps. Miyabi was usually more energetic than this. She's going to need a time out for a sec, using the level three Powerslash wiped her out.]

I can lay three traps myself but... thinkin' about it my artes here in Luceti seem ta be much weaker than they were before. I have to admit though, I like yer choice in name! No point in havin' the defaults, much more fun to have a creative name ya can remember!

Maybe I'm blamin' this bow fer all the wrong reasons....

[She smiles, albeit a little wearily. Don't ask her to do another one, she really will pass out. At least for a little while. Miyabi's a tough cookie.]

Aa, I've noticed that, too. I don't know about their strength being reduced or whatever, it's possible, but it's gotten really hard to use certain skills. I'll get really tired when I use really strong ones and even faint...f-for a few minutes! [She clears her throat, then sighs.] Even Bloom, the only Skill I've mastered pretty much completely will make me really tired if I use it too much. And I can't make trees bloom. Though I couldn't really do that completely anyway, but--

I haven't tried using any of my stronger artes yet. Huh... if I used my Blast Heart I'd probably die for certain. I'm gonna have to be careful about what I use then if that's true.

Hmm.. I wonder if I can still use Stop Flow. That'd be a mighty useful skill ta have here. [And he starts to wander off into his own little world of thought.]

Stop Flow? [She tilts her head for a second, then the first bit registers. Miyabi mentally keysmashes before leaping up and down in front of Raven, despite her being pretty tired before. Freaking out take priority over fatigue.]

WHAT!?

Y-You can't do that!! If...If you die, I-I'll be--I'll never forgive you! Because then you'd make a lot of people sad and cry. [Including her. of course.] So you can't die, Mister Raven. Whatever that thing is, I forbid you from using it. If you do, and you die, then I'll beat you up for real!!

Hey I didn't say I was gonna use it! I was just thinkin' out loud that's all.

Good! I don't want anything bad happening to you. [Because too many of her friends were in less than pleasant situations already. She didn't need another one being like that.]

But I would like to see some of your skills, Raven. Everyone here has so many different powers and abilities I've never even heard of, or could have imagined. I've only even heard of the powers of the celestial Brush, so learning things here is a big eye-opener. What's that thing you were talking about before, though? Something about stopping a flow of something? Can you make water stop flowing? That'd be really neat~

I don't know if I wanna try usin' any of my artes. Seems like it'd be dangerous to try anythin' too big... But yeah I guess it does stop the flow of water, Stop Flow stops the very flow of time itself. It's a difficult skill to use, if ya want me ta try demonstrate I'll give it a shot.

Ah, no...Don't do anything you don't think you can control. I don't want you getting injured, Raven. Don't worry about it at all~ Just do what you're comfortable with for now, okay~? ♥ I'm content watching you fight with your bow.

[She's not as surprised as many would be. In fact, she looks down in thought, crossing her arms and tilting her head to one side. Seems it's Miyabi's turn to wander off into her world of thought.] Then it's just like Veil of Mist, kind of...though I don't remember if Veil of Mist stops time or just slows it down. I'll have to ask Mother Amaterasu.Mm, I should practice that one, it would be really useful here.

Ya really should practise it! Bein' able ta alter time is an amazin' ability to have, if I do say so myself.

But I want to try it, I haven't tried usin' any artes since I came here so it'd be good to see just what my limit is. I'm not gonna be usin' the dangerous one so don't worry I'll be fine! [He goes silent for a moment whilst he tries to concentrate on how to perform the arte again. It's been too long, he's getting rusty and old now.]

[She'll make sure to do so eventually. Maybe even after she's had a breather here. It wasn't exactly too dangerous, but it would be an extremely hard skill to learn.]

All right...

[She's till a little concerned, and will be fretting a little, but Miyabi moves a little bit away, giving the man some space to concentrate. She watches intently, and quietly, waiting for something to happen. Even though she was worried, she couldn't help but be a little excited.]

[Wow I don't think Raven has ever been this quiet in his life. He's really trying to focus.]

[Waiting, waiting, waiting...Oh, it that a butterfly~? ♥ Look, how pretty it is! It must be the only one still alive after it being so col--vfhdijivjdl;d! Concentrate.

Miya sits in the snow, just as quietly, and tries to keep her eyes on the older man. She's waitinf for something to happen, but she's still a restless little ball of energy, so she's getting a little bored.]

...

[OK! I think he's finally got it. He moves into a casting position and begins reciting his incantation.]

Halt o' march of time... I'll pay ya back later...

Stop Flow!!!
[The spell begins to cast but something is clearly off. Raven collapses to ground and it's cancelled. He seems to be unconscious.]

[Well, he definitely stopped something, all right. Miyabi's poor heart may have stopped for a second or two when the older man fell into the snow. She gasps in horror and scampers quickly over to him, thinking the worst.]

Raven!! [She tugs with all her might at his clothes and even bits of his hair, tapping him lightly to try and wake him up. Crying? No, not really...she's sobbing.] Raven, please wake up! Oh, please, please! I-I'm sorry I made you use that strong skill...but you have to wake up. I'll never forgive you if you--

[She sniffles, cursing her stupid height over and over again in her head. If she was bigger, she could have at least shook him awake, or carried him a little bit back home! Heck, she could have even ran to get someone to help. But she's not big, so she's getting frustrated, and scared, and bawling like this may not be the best thing to do, but what else can she do?]

Edited 2010-01-05 22:45 (UTC)

[He stirs a little and turns his head to look at her. He's still alive, your crying was loud enough to bring him round again. Though he feels really terrible for making you worry about him.]

Did it work?

[F-FFFF...If she wasn't so relieved that you were okay, Raven, Miyabi would positively KILL YOU. But she's just going to be nuzzling against that scruffy cheek of yours for right now instead. And will be wiping her face free of tears as a huge weight lifts off her shoulders. She'll even cough out a little laugh and force a smile on her face.]

No. You failed completely. ♥ [She's not letting you go for some time, nope.] Idiot~ Are you okay?

Edited 2010-01-05 23:15 (UTC)

[If Raven could move right now he'd give her a hug but he's... well he's barely awake.]

Oh... I wanted ta show ya as well... Maybe next time it'll work, serves me right for tryin' after trainin' for hours... I'm.... gonna sleep right here.

[It'd have to be a very gentle, and careful hug, considering anything more would crush her flat. Wait, sleep, what. That's going to make the girl flail a little, and her voice may raise a little bit, but she's trying to keep it down for your sake, Raven.]

Wh-What!? Raven, you can't just...Yo-You big idiot, you'll freeze to death if you fall asleep right here!

[Sob, why? She gives him a hard look, then curses under her breath. Well, this isn't going to work. Miyabi can't just let him lay here in the snow, but she's not really fit to actually carry him anywhere - and she's not cruel enough to try and make him move on his own.

So, she's going to do the best thing she can think of. She leaps up onto a higher point and whistles. The note is a long, and low one and it travels a fair distance. Afterward, she'll wait and watch for a moment, before moving back to her friend. Shouldn't be too long...]

[OOC: Threadjack required?]

[Raven just lies in the snow, drifting between simply being asleep and being unconscious. He's going to hate himself for worrying her like this but he can't exactly move.]

[Ooc: Perhaps. << I was gonna have her call an animal to carry him to the clinic/back home or something, but someone else can hear her whistle. :| idk, it's up to you. /fails at life.]

[She is worrying pretty badly right now, yeah. And is going to try and keep him awake for as long as she can. Don't fall asleep, Raven, you may not wake up again! The poncle tugs at his hair and then just sighs in defeat. Damn it...Miya leans against his face for a second, whispering a quiet prayer. Let someone come soon. Please, I just want to help my friend.]

[OOC: Go with the animal thing XD easier.]

[Nope no good, he's out cold, literally. You don't need to worry about him, just get him inside and he should wake up eventually.]

Edited 2010-01-06 01:02 (UTC)

[Ooc: Pff, ilu. ♥ Lazyass. Also lol, block text.]

[And after another moment of so, her prayers will be answered. A very large animal pads its way towards them, but eyes the man wearily. Miyabi hears a snuffling and pawing, and turns to see an impressively large buck shaking its head at Raven and the little glowthing.]

Ah! You came!! [She notes the buck's aversion to her friend, and bounces her way over as it leans down to get a better look at her.] Please...my friend needs help. Can you carry him and me to the village? I can't do it myself, you know that.

[The deer gives her a look, then mutters a grunt of agreement, chewing on her hood once before moving over to the older man. It gently, and very, very carefully leans its head down and moves the man onto his back without skewering him on those sharp antlers. When Raven's secure on the deer's back, Miyabi hops onto one antler and lets the animal take them to the Vesperia house, following the man's scent as best it could.

Of course, the thing about that door...The buck is going to have to knock it down, since no one was around to open it. Sorry, Yuri. :c Last but not least, the animal dumps Raven onto the rug and then rushes out of the house. Miyabi's going to stay with her friend, though, curling up close to him to make sure he would be okay until someone came home.]

[OOC: If you smashed Yuri's door ~~is this the 9th time now?~~ you're going to have to drop him a message about it xD Though we could do with one of them threadjacking. I don't have AIM at the moment and Raven doesn't live here after all.]

[He stirs slightly, still not conscious but he's not injured. He is however freezing cold and covered in snow, it'll be likely he at least gets a cold out of this. Serves him right for trying, he knew he couldn't he was fatigued already. Now he's just become a burden for poor Miyabi.]
