Enter the Chosen

🧙 WHO: Colette Brunel & Open
⚔️️ WHAT: Catch-All? Arrival and such?
🕒 WHEN: February
🗺️ WHERE: Around in general?
⚠️ WARNINGS: Not off of the top of my head necessarily?

Arrival:

a: [Colette is used to falling. She does it all the time back home after all in tripping over....well. Air. Basically. But still. What she is surprised about is that she can actually cry out as she falls? Considering she lost her voice during her Journey in transforming into an Angel and all. Which. Apparently her wings don't work here either. She finds out rather quickly in attempting and failing to use them as she falls and goes down splashing into the lake.

The moment she is able to in surfacing from the water, as she wrings her clothes out in some attempt to dry them, she instinctively tries to call out for her friends. After all they had just been there, back home.]

....Lloyd? Lloyd?! Ah! I....I can speak again....? But how...?

[Her gaze lowers or at least attempts to in her hand raising to her neck, where there's a bright red jewel at her necklace there. It had all started with the Cruxis Crystal after all. Her being Chosen. Getting the blessings, the gifts from the Angels. In her having lost her voice in the process of her transformation. She's not sure what to make of it. Being able to actually speak again. Her mind flashes back to what she last recalls back home. Had it worked then? She isn't sure, given she then found herself falling....wherever this was. She glances around for her friends and companions, but doesn't immediately see them. Instead, she starts to head to the cliffs in following the others, figuring perhaps they know where they were going?]

b:

[Colette follows the others, and can probably be heard at least twice if not more in apologizing to the cliff beast for her tripping and falling, needing to be caught as she somehow ends up tripping over the edge as they make their way with the cliffs.

But once they make it to the cliffs proper and find the caravan and all, she will seem rather excited at finding.....a Protozoan? Noishe? Well. It isn't. Actually. But Colette doesn't necessarily know that and initially automatically assumes it is her friend's pet 'dog'. (Spoilers. It is. Not a dog.) Colette rushes over when she sees her new familiar.]

Noishe? But if you're here, where's Lloyd? He has to be around somewhere if you are! Wait.....something's different.....you're not.....?

[Her familiar shakes her head, giving a whine.]

Oh! Then....I can name you? You're.....mine?

[Colette asks, eyes widening when there's a nod in response.]

Oh, I have to think of a good name for you then!

c:

[Colette. Has no idea on phones. They don't have the most advanced technology or magi-tech in Sylvarant, being the declining world with less mana supply and all. So of course she is bewildered with the phone when given one. She's blinking at it with wide blue eyes, trying to go over the instructions in how to use it. She probably isn't at least initially using the headphones though. She's still figuring it all out yet.]

Ah! It did something! I think it worked!

[Did....something? She. She turned it on. She is so excited about that though as it starts up!]

I did it!

[Yes. She turned it on. It's. A start?]

Inn:

[Once they actually get there, to the inn to stay, Colette isn't necessarily expecting just one bed. Or that it is decorated like this with the rooms? She has no idea about Valentines though so she might just be rather confused about the decorations and the one bed when they are apparently supposed to share?

Also while entering she. She may have uh. Accidentally made a Colette-shaped hole in the wall in tripping. Oops? (Yeah, that happens sometimes. A decently regular thing. Totally normal, nothing to see here.) So. When someone else enters she might be a little sheepish and just. Immediately apologize about that?]

Ah, are you who I'm supposed to share with? I'm sorry! About....

[Gesturing to the hole in the wall.....]

Training:

[Well, she got used to figuring her Angelic abilities back home? Surely, Colette could handle this? She just isn't immediately sure on her newfound abilities with Light Magic yet. But she goes to try learn, to figure it out. Eventually as she practices though....

There's a sudden, brief moment when she manages to summon a small ball of light at her palm.]

Oh! I did something! A light! I guess this makes up for me not seeing as well as I used to.

Sync or Swim:

[Colette, for her part, does still have certain things she is quieter on. Namely what the end of her Journey is supposed to entail. So. When the tent shuts and she feels compelled to say something, she is decidedly not expecting.....]

The Journey of Regeneration I go on, to become an Angel, to restore Sylvarant, my home, will come with my sacrificing myself.

[Maybe that seems. Obvious. To most, what with the idea of Angels being rather otherworldly and decidedly not human, which Colette still physically appears to be at least. But. Colette has only confided that in Raine back home. Her hands raise to cover her mouth as her eyes widen in surprise at her suddenly saying something like that.]

I'm not sure. It might be more.....mm. My Cruxis Crystal. Unless I can figure fixing that, I'm not sure if that's possible. Or -- I don't know much yet on the magic here. To know if there might be a way to figure wings here.

[Or if they were the same as her wings back home with her being able to summon or dismiss them as needed. Colette gives a shrug, biting her lip as her gaze and hand heads to the necklace, the red jewel at her throat. Others had Exspheres, sure. Hers was more unique in it being because she was the Chosen and all though. Even if it didn't work here, she can't bring herself to destroy it or throw it away either.]

[It looks like her necklace is precious to her. Izuku isn't sure what a Cruxis Crystal is but he assumes it's part of her power. Or something to help her with her powers.]

Even if your items don't work from home, I was thinking maybe there would be similar types of magic to learn here. Ah, what kind of magic do you have here? I've been learning some basic alchemy, myself.

[There's got to be a way to make magic wings.]

If it's a supporting spell or some kind of magic buff you could learn?

[Like in a video game-]

Edited 2021-02-27 02:03 (UTC)

Maybe? But ah, mine seems to be light magic? Or something like that. Alchemy though?

[Whether that came up in school given the different worlds might be harder to say. Her own focused more on the teachings of the church of Martel given her being the Chosen, and the history of Sylvarant and the like with regards to their situation with the mana supply and her duties as the Chosen. Learning the Angelic Language.]

I'm not sure on all the different sorts of magic though. If there might be one that would let me have wings again or not.

[Izuku nods.]

I'm only assuming but light magic might be able to do something like that. Maybe I should go read up on it.

[There has to be someplace to take out books here. He really wants to help.]

And then maybe there would be a way to look up how to make magical wings. Or even other similar powers to your angel quirk.

[It's not a quirk, Izuku!]

You think so? I mean, I guess my wings were different from Remiel's with the white feathers....but ah, I'm sure you have more important things to look into than this. But I guess there might be a library or something?

[There might be something like a library at least? For them to find out more about this place and the magic? Maybe? She isn't sure in not having had much chance yet to explore too much of this place just yet in her recently having arrived and all.]

But in my case it isn't a Quirk. I mean. That's not what we called it, at least. I'm sure I'll manage though. It isn't like I always had those abilities, like I always had the wings. So it's okay if I can't figure that here.

Ah... Right! Sorry- I guess I got ahead of myself! You were practicing some of your magic, weren't you?

[Sorry for getting the topic this far off of training! He's just so interested in other powers and magic. And learning everything he can. And helping out!]

You should keep going!

Ah? Okay. Um. You can practice too! They said it helps to practice together, right?

[She figures it wouldn't hurt. If he is curious in seeing more of what she can do. If she sees what he is capable of and they get in some practice together that seems like a good idea on her end at least. Even then she doesn't mind the interruption from him anyway. It's important here in getting to know each other and their abilities, to make friends, after all.

She gives a nod to his suggestion that she continue, holding up her palm again and attempting to create another ball of light there.]

R-right! I can do that!

[Her calm and friendly attitude is really refreshing. Izuku smiles...! And watching her use some of her magic again does encourage Izuku to do the same. Alchemy is a strange sort of scientific magic. It's nothing like light magic at all. And it makes him think of Katsuki too.]

I've been working on transmuting wood into different shapes... So I can take a branch and do this so far...?

[He plucks a stick from the ground and he makes it grow three green leaves. Poof!]

Oh! It grew!

[As she is subsequently distracted from her own practice in glancing and watching him with his stick. It has leaves! That's so amazing! Or at least. It is to her but that's probably because her own home of Sylvarant, her town of Iselia included, was declining. The crops and flowers and such were impacted from their lack of Mana supply. So it wasn't all lush and green back home entirely. She claps her hands together and grins, eyes wide.

Look the magic back home isn't necessarily like this as far as she has experienced anyway.]

[Oh no, her clapping makes Izuku blush with a little bit of flustered pride. He's new to this whole magic thing in general but it feels really nice to be able to do something right and to impress someone with something so simple! Because it really is just a stick with a couple of leaves...]

Y-yeah! I'm still getting the hang of all this! I'm hoping to get better with plants first...

[He never really thought he'd be here learning how to make plants grow but here he is!]

It's amazing! Back home, our plants and crops were dying because of the lack of Mana. So it's wonderful you can help them grow like this!

[Yeah, there's. Reasons something like this would be so impressive to her. Well, besides that she is pretty gullible and easy to impress anyway. But something like this is kind of personal to her in her duty being to restore the Mana supply back home as the Chosen. To bring back life, the way he is in encouraging this stick to grow, to sprout leaves.]

I know they need the sun, but I'm not sure if my light is....um. That sort?

[Solar, with the UV and everything that plants would need? To help it along maybe?]

Really? [Oh no, that's so sad.] But you said something about your powers and your journey helping to fix a problem like that too, I think? Is- Mana like magic?

[He almost wishes he could jump right into her world to help her out with his alchemy. Help that world fix up all their crops and grow and flourish again... But of course, that's a pretty far-off daydream. Plus he has his own world he has to get back to and save and help as well. He can't be a hero everywhere... But if he could-]

I'm not sure if light magic is the same as sunlight... but it would be amazing if it was.

It's....hm. I haven't had to explain it exactly. It's like the basis of life? Crops wilt and droughts come when the world is declining and mana becomes scarce, like in my home of Sylvarant. That's why it's so important for me to have left Iselia for my Journey. It's also the source of magic, how Genis has his ice or fire magic for example, and the Professor can heal and use sort of like light magic I guess, but only elves or half-elves can use magic.

[Yeah, she still has no idea they aren't full elves. Yet. But this is at least hopefully a basic enough explanation for him to understand? He at least comes from a world where powers were common so this probably didn't seem too weird to him? That he's so excited about her being an Angel and such.]

I'm not sure. It might be worth a try though? We won't know until we give it a go, right?

[He does nod. It really is like listening to something right out of a fantasy video game... wild.]

From what you've told me, I think you'll be able to make things right when you go home. But you're right. In the meantime, we won't know how until we keep trying our own magic.

I guess we'll see.

[She's quiet for a moment then. Reflecting on the last moments she recalls, but she tries not to dwell on all that, in favour of a smile and giving a nod. Because he is right. They won't really figure much until they learn more about their magic and what it is capable of.]

But yes! I just have to keep practicing! I'm sure I'll be able to help with this somehow. Even if I can't do the things I could back home. I just have to practice and adjust.
