Gaia's Ice Cavern... [RP w/kasumu_sekai]

The dripping sounds and occasional gurgle of running water are more noticeable inside the Ice Cavern. A few patches of bare rock show through, but in most places the ice is still thick. The water and slush make the floor even more slippery than solidly frozen ice would be, as the Magelets soon find out. They seem to find it fun, though, not bothered at all by the cold as they look around.
Mistral looks around as well. He can see the place falling apart with the underlying magic gone, making it look changed and somewhat unfamiliar - but not as unfamiliar as it should be for someone who's never been inside it. He knows the way through, if none of the paths have been blocked by the thaw. And if they had, ice spells should let them make a way around.

There isn't much else to do here, at the lower part of the trail, with cliffs on both sides. Until they notice a spot just ahead where the trail rises and one of the cliffs falls away. Several Magelets waddle over to look at the view.
Mistral, meanwhile, will be explaining some of the differences in the spells. Calling a pet that's kept somewhere else means they can be sent back to where they're kept, but calling a pet that's kept in the same universe means they stay. The best guess as to why is because they've only been transported distances, not between worlds. They don't take as much magic as summoning Eidolons, but with rare exceptions most of them aren't as powerful either.
"Everything looks so tiny," says Galen, looking at the view.
"I wish I could fly," mutters Kaze.

Date: 2010-01-15 07:27 am (UTC)"Hmmmmm?" The Goron sits up and blinks at them sleepily.
The Magelets are amazed and form their usual curious semicircle.

Date: 2010-01-15 07:56 am (UTC)Mistral nods a lot. "Yes. I named him Dmitri, and he's a lot bigger now. We're here to try to catch another one for Rydia, because they make really good pets."
The Goron looks that way again, and squints slightly. "You have a Tektite following you. Is it a pet?"

Date: 2010-01-15 10:18 pm (UTC)Mistral nods. "I remember where the baby Dodongos are, and that's not near any of the lava and stuff." He'll look to Rydia and the Magelets, "There's only one part where we'll have to use float because the floor is hot." He'll head into the cavern.
The Magelets pause in the entrance to give curious looks at the row of bomb flowers growing near the archway to the main room.

Date: 2010-01-15 11:12 pm (UTC)"They blow up?" says Luca, as the Magelets back away cautiously.
Mistral nods. "If you can pull one up, they do. Or if something else blows up near them, or they get set on fire." He'll step into the main room and look around. It looks more or less the same as the last time he was here, hot lava rock for floor and all. "We'll have to cast Float to get around to the ladder."
He'll hop down to the right of the platform near the entrance, where the floor is still safe to walk on. And then he'll glance up at an entrance to a cut stone tunnel right next to him, but up above the floor on a walkway around the room. "If there was a ladder here, we wouldn't have to go around." He briefly tries to make one using ice spells, but it just melts too fast. Oh well.

Date: 2010-01-16 12:30 am (UTC)Kaze has tried casting float on himself, but that doesn't let him bob high enough.
Mistral nods. "I could fly up, but I couldn't carry the rest of you."

Date: 2010-01-16 01:12 am (UTC)"Black Mages can't lift very much," adds Tavi.
Mistral gives the Tektite a look, and shrugs. "I don't know. I never had the chance to try climbing on one, the last time I was here."

Date: 2010-01-16 02:24 am (UTC)It takes a second for the Magelets to completely work this out, then Kaze says, cheerily, "Because it bounces!"

Date: 2010-01-16 04:29 am (UTC)As soon as he's recovered, Mistral will turn to the hallway. The floor inside it is sandy, and they won't be able to go in more than a few steps before there's a sound of something moving under the sand. Two baby dodongos, legless things the size of dogs, unbury themselves and start to wriggle towards the 'intruders'. Mistral will just cast sleep on one, allowing the other to approach for Rydia to claim.

Date: 2010-01-16 05:28 am (UTC)Mistral smiles and gives it a pet. "Dmitri was this little at first. They get legs when they get bigger, and their hides keep getting tougher. I don't know if there's a limit to how big they can get."
no subject
Date: 2010-01-16 06:45 am (UTC)"Maybe. They're not really magic creatures like Eidolons, though," says Mistral, thinking about it. "It might depend on how much they eat, or what kind of rocks and things they eat, or just about anything."
The Magelets, meanwhile, are 'tucking' the other, sleeping, baby dodongo in for it's nap - by covering it up with loose sand with only the head sticking out.
