Black Mage Village RP Thread :)

[feathered_mages]

Another normal still-wintery day in the Village. At least Arashi's mood has been marginally better now that he knows his 'pet' isn't dead.

Which means all three Waltzes are back to perching in a group - for now on top of the bakery again. Mostly because it's warm there, but also because Mr. 44 just finished a batch of cookies and they're eating some.

"I don't think any of them go anywhere," says Blaze. "Except to Condie Petie to trade. And there are just dwarves there, no humans."

Mistral looks around, fluttering up into a tree to see if he can spot anyone. He then lands again. "Vivi's over there," he says, pointing.

Arashi continues his silence so far.

"None of them? Not even the genomes?" Figures. >_>

Mistral gets a nod. He'll head that way soon~.

[feathered_mages]

"Why would they," Blaze says. "They like it here."

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

"To see new things." Shouldn't need any more reason then that~.

And now he's going to go talk to Vivi!

[feathered_mages]

The Waltzlets follow along. Vivi's not far away, and looks over at them as they approach.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

A polite nod at Vivi, and the Waltzes might notice the Mage doesn't get quite as nice treatment as they and Mikoto did.

"Would you mind if these three left the village with me...?"

[lil_mage_vivi]

...

...

"Will you bring them back?"

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

......

"Yes."

[lil_mage_vivi]

Can't really blame Vivi for having trouble shaking the idea that Kuja + Waltzes off somewhere together = mass destruction. He almost asks if they're going to hurt anyone, butch catches himself. After all, he hopes the Waltzlets know better and would come home if it was something like that...

"O-okay."

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

Really, Kuja should be used to it by now.

"Alright, then." And that's all he wanted! They can be off now~.

[feathered_mages]

And the Waltzlets just follow. Poor Kuja, they're all hyper and wound up now. Yay, field trip!

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

They might not be as soon as they see what he wants them to do! D:
Sadly, he still hasn't figured some things out about people.

Just outside the village he'll stop. "It's a long way, too far to walk... I'll have to use a PINPoint."

[feathered_mages]

And they pause, and blink, and try to remember what that means... They have the vaguest recollection that someone using a PINPoint meant they had to do something... but what?

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

He hadn't even thought that they might not know what a PINPoint was. "It's a teleportation machine from the Nexus, that's all."

[feathered_mages]

They nod slowly, and Mistral says, "I... think we've seen one. When we were LOLed. It's all fuzzy..."

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

"They're very fast." And he knows how to work them, so if the Waltzes don't mind, he'll have to touch all of them~.

[feathered_mages]

Oh yeah. That's what they couldn't quite remember!

Glomp~

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

He should have remembered it'd be this easy~.

And PINPointing them off! Into a large, empty field, with a forest off in the distance. Dali is nearby, but far enough that they can't be seen (or see it) from here.

[feathered_mages]

And the Waltzes look around, wondering where this is and what they're doing here.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

This really would have been easier with Arashi by himself. Now he'll have to change the story a bit. Oh, well.

"Now... have you been told what lives outside of the village, other than humans?"

[feathered_mages]

"Animals?" guesses Mistral.

"Monsters?" is Arashhi's guess.

"... Qu?" Blaze almost sounds like he's hoping not! He likes food, but he doesn't want frogs for dinner.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

"All of those, actually, but I meant monsters." He glances around, seeming casual. Must have the spider-thing come up at the right time, which takes concentration, but he's trying to seem as if he's just talking~.

"And I'm sure you'll want to leave the village on your own someday."

[feathered_mages]

And all three of them perkj up as they catch on to one possible detail.

"Are there monsters here?" asks Blaze.

"We can attack those, right? We won't get in trouble?" Arashi adds at the same moment.

Mistral's just reaching in a pocket for his bell.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

Hint of amusement at their reactions! "Yes. If they show up... and if they try to attack. Some are harmless, and don't need to be killed."

[feathered_mages]

"But I can use my bell on those?" Mistral asks hopefully.

Blaze just droops a bit. "So, there might not be any..."

"Maybe we could spot some from the air," says Arashi.
