Some of them have words. Others you just do stuff and focus on something. The first spell I ever learned, you say whatever nice and happy things you can think of while focusing on protection, and it makes normal clothes act like armour. How come?

From:

emanation

Oh. It's just different to what I'm used to. If I want to use a blessing, I have to say certain rites or prayers. Uh. Sometimes, anyway. I guess it is pretty similar after all.

{ should he be telling her all of this? maybe not, but the rules kind of changed when being brought here.

so he'll try properly this time, dipping his white sneaker into the mud with a wince. but he'll focus right after, trying to copy what rinku did to make the mud clean itself away. }

[Rinku claps and makes a gleeful little noise when Ezra cleans the mud away.]

Yeah, you got it! I dunno about being a priest [she's just assuming he's a priest???] and how close it is to Ellipsan magic, but I bet you'll get this stuff in no time.

From:

emanation

{ he looks pleased with himself when his shoe is thankfully clean again, glad he isn't going to have to replace them or anything. }

It depends on how many words I have to learn really. But maybe sometime I'll show you what I can do. I already checked I still had my blessings here, so I know they aren't gone.

From:

roundandaround

That makes sense! Most powers from home are still here. Even for people who are really strong! It's cool, huh?

From:

emanation

Pretty helpful, though I guess it would kind of make it tough to save people here if we didn't have what we're used to from home.

From:

roundandaround

Hm... maybe. Though some of us didn't have any powers back home. And some monsters are strong against anything but season powers.

From:

emanation

Yeah, a lot of people back home don't either. It's just those of us fighting for the church--at least that I know of. I guess I'll have to figure out the season powers soon though, if I really want to be able to properly help.

From:

roundandaround

Wow, like one of those anime with the clergy fighting vampires! That's real? I gotta ask Lyrilily or HayaCoco if it's real back home too! Oh, but what if it's secret? But it's exciting!

From:

emanation

Huh? Other worlds have anime about that? Though we don't fight vampires--demons are what we fight. But yeah, I'm uh... not really supposed to go around telling people. I figured since we're all here though, it doesn't make sense to hide it.

From:

roundandaround

Oh, okay! That's fine. I forget about keeping stuff from home secret here too, since no one here is from there anyway.

From:

emanation

You have secrets about where you're from too?

From:

roundandaround

Yeah! Just kinda stuff I found out by accident. Or I guess coincidence? There used to be this secret project that was using these energy waves generated by music made from different artists working together, and they invented sen... senti... AIs who were actual people. To try and give some rich people "digital immortality." They shut it down when stuff went wrong, but there are still two AIs they made, they're our friends now.

From:

emanation

Huh. Sounds complicated. I mean I haven't struggled too much with the technology as it's fairly similar to home. We have phones, laptops and stuff like that but I don't think we've done much with AI on the same scale. My friend would probably know more as he's studying engineering.

From:

roundandaround

That still sounds really cool! My family are scientists, but I never did well in school to do something like that. Right now I work at Shining Karaoke.

From:

emanation

I never did either really. Though I guess I was kinda balancing two things at once, but even then I find it hard to sit down and study. You work at a karaoke place here though? How's that? Is it fun? Or do you have to listen to people singing like seagulls?

From:

roundandaround

Yeah, it is! It's the kind with private rooms and stuff. I like it, it's fun. Though I still dunno if I wanna do that forever.

From:

emanation

Well, what did you wanna do before you came here?

{ he looks thoughtful } Though I guess if you get qualifications here they may not count at home, right? It'd suck to have to study it twice.

From:

roundandaround

I dunno! I just want to perform with my unit, and we wanna get big someday. But they're not here. I do solo lives and stuff, but it'd be weird to try and go pro without them.

From:

emanation

That makes sense. I know how it feels to be missing the rest of the team, even if it isn't for the same kinda thing. You could try broadening your horizons? I guess you make music at the moment?

{ 'solo lives' gives that impression anyway }

From:

roundandaround

Yeah! I perform as DJ Link! I mix up music and do remix covers and original songs. It's fun! ...Though I haven't actually written too many new ones, Maho-chan and Rei-chan did that for our unit back home.

From:

emanation

You'll have to let me know when you're doing one again, I'll come check it out.

From:

roundandaround

Yeah, I will! I play at the Arts Festival, that's a ton of fun every year.

From:

emanation

Oh you perform there too? I thought it was like... painting and shit. Not that music would be there too. I'll definitely come watch then.

From:

roundandaround

Yeah! There's paintings and stuff, but also music performances, and last year they added in fighting tournaments too! And this year there's other competitions! It's getting bigger and more exciting and... 「Happy Around!」
