Sounds like a plan, really. Talking’s usually nice.

[ It was also better than being attacked for something out of his control. He also kept his voice down in order to not disturb anything, but that didn’t stop him from humming as he thought of how best to continue. ]

So, uh, what’s your name? I’m Naoto.

[incinerators]

I'm Pyrrha. It's a pleasure to meet you, Naoto.

[ He seems friendly, and she can appreciate that. It'll make being stuck in this unfortunate situation a little easier to deal with. ]

Did you arrive here relatively recently? I've been here for...maybe a month or so? Something like that.

[divinereaper]

Pleasure to meet you too!

[ He hums as he thinks of a proper response. How long had he been here? Time is so warped for him really. He mumbles to himself for a bit before replying. ]

I believe I've been here for about four months now, actually. It's been a while but I don't think I've adjusted well... [ A weak laugh. He only has himself to blame. ]

[incinerators]

What makes you say that you haven't adjusted well?

[ She tilts her head curiously at that. Four months may be a long time for some people, but a shorter time for others. No judgment here! (Yet!) ]

Are you talking about something magic-related?

[divinereaper]

It isn't magic related. It's more like... [ He sighs softly. ] It's better if I show you.

[ He lifts up his right arm, which for the most part was covered by a long glove. The upper arm looked normal, but the forearm didn't move, even with Naoto flexing for a moment. ]

My right arm's gone. Normally I would have it, but I lost it when getting here. I used my magic to make a replacement, but... really, it's just a block of wood. It's hard, doing things with your non-dominant hand, y'know?

[incinerators]

[ She looks over at his arm and sees what the issue is as soon as he points it out. ]

What happened when you got here? Did they just...take it away from you?

[ She frowns, shaking her head a little. ]

That just seems unnecessarily cruel... I hope that you're able to create a replacement that works for you soon.

[divinereaper]

No, I lost my arm a while back protecting someone. I had a replacement, but it... disappeared as soon as I got here.

[ He puts his arm down as Pyrrha offers condolences. He smiles weakly, nodding. ]

Yeah, I hope so too. In fact, this arm is the best one I've made so far. It helps that my magic is the elemental kind. Can just magic up new wood if I need it! [ He's proud of that little achievement, thank you very much. ]

[incinerators]

[ She knew this place took away powers, but to take away something like that is pretty ridiculous. Still, though, she notices that Naoto seems happy with his creation, so she offers him an encouraging smile. She does feel a little bad, like she insulted it somehow, but hey, as long as he's happy with it! ]

Well, if I need some spare wood for anything, I know just who to ask!

[ She believes in u, new friend! ]

Did you have to carve the wood yourself? Or were you able to mold it like that with your magic?

[divinereaper]

You know it!

[ Now that put a smile to his face. He loved being helpful to others. When asked if he had to carve the wood, however... that made his mood deflate a little. ]

I had to carve it. On the upside you don't have to worry about cutting yourself! On the downside... [ A grimace. ] A lot of error.

[incinerators]

Hey, you can say you made it yourself though! That's an accomplishment in itself, I think.

[ See!! It's not all bad, Naoto -- at least that's what she thinks. ]

Error's just part of the learning process.

[divinereaper]

You do have a point... At least it's less of a headache than some of the other elements I can control.

[ He hasn't gotten a handle on fire or water magic. He's trying though. ]

Speaking of magic though, which one did you get?
