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.

Things almost did! But luckily Mistral didn't lose his grip on his bell when he was hit by that chunk of ice - though it's a safe bet that's going to leave one heck of an unseen bruise somewhere. Ring, ring, ring goes the bell - not actually summoning this time, but in attempt to control and calm the monster.

Meanwhile the other two Waltzes have started fighting each other due to being suddenly deprived of their intended target. Blaze had almost been hit by a chunk of ice too, and that had been enough to make him yell and complain and draw the attention of Arashi's temper. Luckily, the two have retained enough control to not be using spells on each other, but there is a little bit of a fistfight with occasional feather-pulling over there.

For a moment, it might seem like the monster is being controlled by someone else, if Mistral can tell. Kuja hadn't completely given up on it, but now he does, letting Mistral have it!

And to the other two Waltzes, "Stop that."

[feathered_mages]

And stop they do, immediately sitting down and grumbling.

"We shouldn't have brought Mistral," Blaze complains. "Now he'll wanna keep it!"

Mistral sense something, but doesn't recognize it. And since it's gone a second later he doesn't pay any attention. He's got the monster now, and can make it be calm while he checks its injuries and pets it. Poor little monster~

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

Nodding. "Keeping it isn't a good idea." Hopefully he can talk the Waltz out of it.

But before he says anything, he wants to be sure the Waltz wants to in the first place.

[feathered_mages]

Given that Mistral is hugging the monster, convincing him not to make a pet of it isn't looking good. He gives the other two Waltzes a glare. "You shouldn't have chased it when it wanted to get away! It wasn't hurting us, and I don't think it really meant to attack us. I think it's just hungry. And now it's hurt too! Why don't you do something useful and try to find it some fish?"

"I'm not going to go try to catch fish for your new pet, Mistral!" complains Blaze.

"Could fix it being hungry with another thunder spell," mutters Arashi.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

What a mess. :(

He'll go ahead and heal the monster, silly as it seems. And then, "Send it away and it can find it's own food."

[feathered_mages]

Surprisingly, once the monster is all better Mistral does not put up too much argument about letting it go. He just gives it one more cuddle and then shoos it carefully towards the water.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

Lucky them!

"I think that's enough for now, don't you?"

[feathered_mages]

Blaze nods. "I'm hungry!"

"And I want to check on Sealion," adds Mistral.

Arashi just nods and then glares at the smallest Waltz. Next time, they shouldn't bring Mistral. How dare he get in the way when they were chasing something?

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

He nods, and pulls out the PINPoint again~.

[feathered_mages]

Glomp~

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

And back they go!

[feathered_mages]

The Waltzes let go and look around.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

They're back in the village, same place they left from~

[feathered_mages]

Mistral promptly heads towards the door to the Nexus, off to check on his Sealion. Blaze goes in search of food. Leaving Kuja with just Arashi.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

He isn't quite sure what to say yet, needing to think a moment. Meanwhile! "What did you think of that?"

[feathered_mages]

"We shouldn't have took Mistral."

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

"Besides that."

[feathered_mages]

"I don't think we should tell the bigger Mages we killed things, or they might not let us go anywhere with you again."

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

"I'll leave that up to you... but what did you think of it?"

[feathered_mages]

"I thought the monsters were stupid to attack us. They should have known we'd kill them."

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

"They're animals, they don't think about it." Nevermind that they were being forced.

[feathered_mages]

"Most animals know better," says Arashi, feathers fluffing just a bit. "We couldn't even look around anywhere we went without the stupid things getting in the way." He hates having things get in his way.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

"If you want to look around next time, I could speed things up." It'd only take one spell from him to kill those things~

[feathered_mages]

"Then what would we do? There wasn't anything there except for the stupid monsters..." He trails off as that actually sinks in.

"We were there to see the monsters, weren't we. You wanted to see us fight. Why?"
