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.

......

"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.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

"You can do whatever you want to them."

And since he doesn't want them flying off... here comes the spider now! It might seem like an odd coincidence, but hopefully they won't think on it too much.

[feathered_mages]

Hey, they wouldn't care if they did figure out he called it over. Well, Mistral might just a little, it's rude to summon things and then kill them. After all, they were perfectly willing to go chase down the monsters and attack them instead of letting things happen the other way around.

Blaze pops out of the way of the spider, vanishing to reappear in the air some ten meters or so above it and fling a fire spell at it.

Arashi quickly adds a thunder spell to that, while the ground around Mistral starts to frost over and he retrieves his bell from his pocket.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

The spider doesn't do anything other than try to stab at the Waltzes on the ground, using those two huge spearlike legs~.

And Kuja will watch! They seem to be handling it.

[feathered_mages]

The two Waltzes still on the ground dodge - barely, in Mistral's case with it coming within a half inch of snagging the littlest Waltz's jacket - and then take to the air like Blaze did. Death from above, spider! Bwahahaha!

Or, once Mistral's regained his concentration, a rather nice Blizzaga.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

The spider is very weak, and not able to last long. After Mistral's blizzard... well, that's it for the poor thing.

And he's just watching until they're finished~

[feathered_mages]

That's it? The Waltzlets almost seem a bit disappointed. Arashi casts thunder on the dead spider just to see if it's faking or going to get back up. When it doesn't, the Waltzes land. Blaze finds a stick to poke the dead spider with.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

[on-this-stage.livejournal.com]

That's it! Faster than he expected. And he moves closer to it, watching them. "Mmm... perhaps we need to go somewhere else."
