⚠️ WARNINGS: N/A.



Training

[ At the training Grounds, Della is still overcome her reluctance with Dark Magic. She doesn't actively want to hurt people, so right now she's trying for Shadow Manipulation. But first, a pep talk to herself. A bit of slow breathing, in and out. ]

Okay... relax. You're not like Magica De Spell. Never will be. Just... relax.

[ Another deep breath, and she faces her own shadow, wiggling her fingers. After a bit of concentration, she manages to make the shadow taller, then shorter. Taller, then shorter. Again and again. She laughs, but it's hollow. ]

Ahahaha, this is... completely useless. Ugh. Why couldn't my second magic be "Make Infinite Chili Dogs"?

It's a Wetdding

[ Della decodes that since it's a special occasion, why not make these dolls a little fancier? So she's in a craft shop,
collecting a few materials to make her dolls look like certain people from back home. At the moment, she's holding up some colored paper, trying to find the right colors. ]

Red, check! Blue, check! Green... green, green... hey! Have you seen any green here? And lots of it. Making a small paper hoodie is going to be a lot of work.

Trowmies got my Homies

[ Della is ready to dive on in for a fun adventure! But with her partner - or whoever she's dragged along and ignored their reluctance - she pauses before looking down into the hole. ]

I don't suppose they have any lit torches down there? Cause otherwise, we might need a flashlight... or 'ye olde matchsticks'. Can't really put up too good of a fight if we can't see anything in front of us.

Creapers - Open

[ The good news is by this time, Della is a little more confident with her shadow magic. The bad news is that she's using it for this quest. You see, Della is the type who believes a good dose of fear is healthy! And why wait for Halloween to scare the bajeebus out of people?

So instead of dressing up, Della is quite calmly standing outside of a person's house as they scream bloody murder inside. After a moment, her own shadow slides out of the window, giving a thumbs up. ]

Hey, nice work! I think we almost got this guy to pass out! Maybe at the next house we can try to scare two people at once! I do love a self-imposed challenge.

[ After a high-five to her own shadow, it retreats to the ground, becoming a normal shadow once more. Della puts her hands in her pockets and whistles, ready to casually walk along to her next victim. ]

Creapers - Closed to uenosama

[ Poor Uenoyama Ritsuka. He was probably just minding his own business, not wanting any trouble - but, alas, trouble has found him. Because the moment she sees him out and about in the village, she's already making a beeline for him. ]

Yes, perfect! I needed some help, and you're the man for the job! Come on, let's go!

Max Wanted Level

[ Causing trouble is easy. Getting away with it, not so much. You can almost hear the Benny Hill theme as Della is running as fast as her legs can take her from 'the authorities', and you can see on her face that this was not the best idea. She needs an exit, and she needs it fast.

So she's going to dive right into your open window and duck. She immediately puts a finger to her beak, shushing. ]

Ssshhhh! Be cool, be cool!

Training

[notwearingthekeds]

Who's Magica De Spell?

[Izzy didn't mean to eavesdrop. Other than the fact that she totally was curious about a talking duck person. Cause once again this place was full of bullshit to surprise her.]

[Izzy also didn't mean to be surprising, but she said this from the side of a very large climbing wall. One that she's sitting on the side of like gravity has no control over her.]

[sos_pilot]

[ She doesn't mind the question/distraction! There's a brief eyebrow raise at the... odd choice of seating, but at this point, Della just rolls with it. ]

Short version? Evil sorceress from my world. I happened to get magic that reminds me of her, and can't say I like it.

[notwearingthekeds]

[Of course the world with talking duck people had magic.]

And I guess you can't just find a way to use that magic that isn't like her? Just- do the opposite with it than she would?

[Izzy will add 'not having to worry about having her mother's magic' as one of the positives to her utterly boring home Earth.]

[sos_pilot]

Yeah yeah, I know... Deep down, I do know I'll never be like her. Logic's never been a good friend of mine.

[ She takes it in stride with a half-shrug. ]

[notwearingthekeds]

[Izzy shakes her head.]

If you make it yours, then it isn't hers anymore.

[Izzy does something kind of like a mix of a handspring and letting go of a ledge to fall back to the ground.]

But I don't have to deal with that with my magic, nobody had it at home, so my magic is just mine.

[sos_pilot]

Lucky you.

[ Said with a bit of a smirk. ]

So, what kind of magic do you have here? Other than sucky shadows, I've got Kinetic.

[notwearingthekeds]

Kinetic, like you. They told me I can do elemental magic but I've never really gotten that to work.

[Izzy shows off by jumping seven feet into the air, doing a twirl, then landing on the climbing wall she was playing on.]

I am starting to get the hang of kinetic magic. I think.

It’s a Wetdding

[phoenixwiz]

Green paper, you say? Maybe I can source some green paper in this section over there.

(Harry is also at the craft store, checking around for materials for the dolls when he sees Della looking for green paper for her dolls. He never knows how to make dolls before but he is still wanting to help out and, surprise, he is able to see some stacks of green paper on top of some shelves.)

Perhaps I can levitate some of those papers up on the shelves if you want to.

[sos_pilot]

What, you wanna show off? I'm not gunna stop you.

[ But it's said with a playful smirk. ]

[phoenixwiz]

Okay then, I’ll do that right away.

(Harry then gets his focus on the green paper and, with some levitation skills and hand gestures, he slowly brings the green paper in question down from the shelves and he has a stack of them floating in the air.)

There you go, here’s some green paper for the dolls. Hopefully this is more than enough.

[sos_pilot]

[ She laughs, and tries to grab them with a hop. ]

It's perfect! Now I have extra in case I screw up!

[phoenixwiz]

You’re welcome any time, Della. I am just more than happy to help out.

(Now he has no idea why she is looking for red, blue, and green paper for the dolls in the first place, but that didn’t stop him from going out of his way to assist someone who is looking to find something for their quest doing.)

So what is your plan for the dolls then? I haven’t gotten started on what I could make them look into just yet.

[sos_pilot]

[ Well, he's about to find out! ]

I'm going to make an audience for the big day - so I'm gunna make dolls of my sons!

trowmie homies;

[roppou]

[Hitoya didn't need much dragging. He gives off the air of someone that would be rather doing anything else most of the time but it doesn't take much to convince him to tag along for a quest. Especially one that seems as straight forward as this.

Fortunately for them, he's a smoker. He makes a show a flicking open the zippo style lighter now.]

I've got a light if we can put something together to make a torch.

[sos_pilot]

[ Oooh, very cool! ]

Nice! We can snag a tree branch and use it! For once, smoking will save lives!

[ ... she thinks she's funny. ]

[roppou]

[Well it's not not funny. That might be a smirk or it might just be a trick of the light.

Anyway he looks around skeptically. Not exactly the outdoor type dressed as he is.]

Should any branch do the trick?

[sos_pilot]

Nah, needs to a nice, thick one - so it doesn't burn down quickly or have the fire touch our fingers.

I've got Kinetic magic - I can snap one off when we see it!

[roppou]

[Alright shouldn't be too hard with trees cropping up every few paces. There's a ragged looking evergreen up ahead, probably on it's last leg with some of the dry, brittle boughs clearly dead in places. Weren't they supposed to be particularly good for making a fire?]

How about that one? [He points to branch just out of reach about a forearm's length and width. Well, for a human anyway.]

[sos_pilot]

Perfect! I'll snap it off, and then we can go underground!

[ She holds out her hands, and wiggles her fingers. The branch begins to wiggle with her, and after a few small swings, it does snap off...

... and heads for them. Della's good at making things fly... but not so much control as where it lands. ]

... Uh-oh. DUCK!

[ not a pun! ]

Sorry for the wait!

[uenosama]

[ Uenoyama really was minding his own business when someone grabbed him and tugged him away from the shop he was about to enter. And it's impressive because the little duck (?) Is at least three times smaller c9mpared to him, maybe four.

He stares at her, blinking for a few seconds, brain trying to catch up with reality and then he frowns slightly.]

Huh? What are you doing and are you sure?

[ He's just a guy that plays guitar and sometimes casts magic. That'sit.]

[sos_pilot]

We're about to embark on an epic quest, and I can't do it alone! I need your wit, your power, and... your height.

[ She still is walking on, expecting him to follow. ]

... Mostly the height. I'm kinda small here, in case you haven't noticed.

[uenosama]

Huh?!

[ Okay, so he can understand the need for height because she is quite short but wits? Power? She probably mixed him up with somebody else. ]

This better not be lifethreatening to anyone... [ This goes both for them and anyone else that could get involved.]

[sos_pilot]

Of course not! We're just giving away some scares! If anything, it'll be good for people!

How do you feel about bedsheet ghosts? They're old, but they are a classic!

[ clearly she expects him to just roll along with this. ]

[uenosama]

Scares? Oh... you want to prank people.

[ Okay that's not as bad as he thought it would be. Bedsheets ghosts? Harmless.
Right?]

As cliche as it gets but it works if it's during the night. You want me to make the sheets float and pretend to be ghosts?

[ He can with his kinetic magic, it's quite simple and easy, the material is very light.]

[sos_pilot]

No, no. I've got Kinetic magic - I'm fine with floating. I need you to BE the ghost itself.

Knock on their windows, scream at them, the whole she-bang! Make some ever-lasting, traumatic memories!
