Post-Issue 2: A wizard sketching

"Yeah, I think about what I need done and the words comes into my mind," Sean said, "I know what to do and how to do it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:31 am

Nailah suddenly looks very interested rather than merely curious, nodding at Sean's explanation. "Is it ever wrong?"

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:37 am

"Wrong?" Sean asked. "No, it's like a schematic or a setc of instructions. When I was younger I simply wasn't that skilled at using magic so things would blow up in my face."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:48 am

"So you can still mess it up if you don't do it right." she says, nodding again a little and staring off into the distance past Sean.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:56 am

"Quite," Sean said arcing an eyebrow as Nailah stared past him. "Even when people have mastered their craft they make mistakes, right? And I'm not a master of magic by any means."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:06 am

"Right, yeah, that makes sense. What kind of stuff can you make it do?"

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:16 am

"With magic?" Sean said, "Fireballs, lightning bolts, simple enchantments like those golems or the paper, tearing holes in reality, so basically the violent brute force side of magic."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:31 am

"Oh, hmm. Okay." she says, sounding almost a bit disappointed, her hopes for some insight into her own power going unfulfilled. It was probably a bit too optimistic to hope for, even if some of what Sean had mentioned sounded a lot like her own power.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:35 am

"First time I've seen mention of a fireball or lightning bolts not impress somebody," Sean smiled. "Though I suppose given the company maybe I should expect it'd take more than that to impress a student here."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:45 am

"Hmm? Oh!" she laughs. "No, it's totally cool. The golems and the paper more than the fireballs though."

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:50 am

"Really? That's a pleasant surprise," Sean smiled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:58 am

"I hate fireballs. They're the worst." she says and carefully opens one of her wings. At a glance the wing looks fine, but looking at it closely it's noticeable that a good chunk of feathers is much lighter in color and here and there much smaller ones still haven't grown all the way in again. Spread around those in a vague circle are feathers that were only singed at the fringes and are still kind of blackened in on the edges.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 12:31 pm

"Fair enough."

"That happen while fighting the pixies?" Sean asked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 2:02 pm

"Oh, no that's from some butt called Sign who was robbing a store in Maldon. I totally won the rematch though."

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 2:26 pm

"Didn't know the X-Men were in the crime fighting business," Sean smile.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 2:34 pm

"It was more of a solo-venture." she grins a bit cockily.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 3:38 pm

"Impressive," Sean said, "So you just fly around the city fighting crime, righting wrongs, and so such?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 3:49 pm

"Well, really only that one time. And then once in London with Onyx showing me the ropes." she says, trying to play it down but still clearly being proud of the whole thing. Nothing like a little fake modesty.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 3:57 pm

"So you haven't designed yourself a costume, set up a patrol schedule, and found yourself a friendly constable as a police contact?" Sean asked with a slight smile.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:19 pm

"I only got a costume so far." she grins.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:33 pm

Nailah Weaver wrote:"I only got a costume so far." she grins.

"I haven't even gotten that far, yet," Sean smiled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:57 pm

"Well yeah, you're not a costumed superhero, you're clearly the mysterious stranger who shows up where he's needed."

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:10 pm

"Suppose I should invest in a trench coat then," Sean said, "Or whatever it is that mysterious strangers are supposed to wear."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:12 pm

"Ooh, yes. And a walking stick that doubles as a wizard staff." she grins.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:37 pm

"I always loved the surprise of creating a sword out of flame, but creating an actual focus would probably be useful," Sean smiled. "Probably could layer enchantments on the focus and a coat or uniform..."

Sean paused for a moment.

"Or try to rather because I've never really done that sort of thing."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:57 pm

"Yep, that sure sounds like a thing." she chuckles, having no real clue what Sean is talking about but not wanting to discourage him from talking 'shop'.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 6:18 pm

"You'd have to worry about how the enchantments would interact to avoid explosions or some other critical failure. Might actually need reagents to do it instead of simply charging runes with magic, but maybe could do it so the runes drew upon my personal energy when they activate like if a bullet hit the coat the proper enchantment would... Right, that probably made about as much sense as you trying to explain to me how wings work," Sean said, "Should probably just go with that this whole hero thing sounds rather rewarding."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 7:00 pm

Nailah laughs at Sean realizing he's talking way over her head. "Yeah, it's pretty awesome. What I wanna know is, can you make my costume bulletproof?" she smirks.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 7:57 pm

"Quite likely I could, yes given some time to do research," Sean smiled. "At the very least bullet and stab resistant at first though. Just need a space where I can work without frying some poor sods fancy science experiment."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:23 pm

"Whoa, wait, for reals? I was just joking." she says, trying her best not to let her mouth hang open.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:31 pm

"It'd take time while I work on it," Sean said, "My enchanting skills aren't that good, yet. I would also have to figure out how to circumvent the fact that you can't fuel the enchantment with magic on your own, which means I would have to imbue it somehow. Meaning I have to find a material that will store magical energy or some other alternative..."

"And there I go again with an explanation you probably didn't want. So really I could do it eventually, but I have to work out the whole how thing."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:37 pm

"So... on a completely unrelated note, are you planning on sticking around?" she grins.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:44 pm

"I feel like you've persuaded me to stick around at least long enough to make sure you don't get shot full of holes," Sean smiled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:04 pm

"That's awesome! And not just because of the magic costume." she says with a laugh.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:16 pm

"Well, when somebody is that enthusiastic about you sticking around how can you do otherwise?" Sean asked.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:18 pm

"Hey, you banished those things back to their world and you offered to make me a magic costume. How can I not like you?" she smirks.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:24 pm

"Quite," Sean said, "It's just not what I expected being trusted like that by people I just met."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 10:43 pm

"Miss Kinney seemed to trust you enough to let you do your thing." she says as if that was obviously good enough for her.

by **Sean Hall** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:45 pm

"I also got the feeling that if I'd appeared to have come close to crossing any lines I would have ended up broken and bleeding in a corner someplace," Sean said.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:58 pm

"Yeah, she's scary like that."
