[ Willing to venture away from the casinos and investigate the nearby green planet? Here's your chance, now that it's in range!

THIS IS A MINGLE. GET HERE. ]


[ Make your own prompts, explore the planet, spend a night there, piss it off by taking its plants, whatever! MAY STAR SYSTEM OOC POST for your reference on getting through the orbit, what's on the planet, etc.! ]
arcanepower: (🙧 each confession i make)

open!

[It calls to him.

He hears it in his dreams, whispering beneath the screams of his people dying. He hears it when he's awake and trying to read. He hears it, but he doesn't quite... understand it, not until they're finally within range and he can afford to take a shuttle down. He can pick out words of Thalassian, snatches of Darnassian, and some other words from the shared common language both are derived from. But it doesn't quite make sense. He's still guessing.

What he does know is that planet looks really, really green and he hasn't seen greenery in person in like a year. He gets down to the planet by way of a shuttle so he can look around.]


[A.]

[And this is when his alchemy nerd comes out. Belth picked up herbalism and potions because he couldn't heal himself, and this land is teeming with plants he's never seen before. He wants to experiment on them. Badly. He has a little straw basket on his arm as he goes around investigating plants and flowers... sometimes sniffing them, sometimes clipping samples with a sharp pair of scissors.

He's got a pretty good stack built up, though, and then... suddenly roots and vines sprout from the bush he'd been inspecting.]


Aaaaah!

[THEY'RE REACHING FOR HIM OH GOD WHY. Still cradling his basket under one arm, he reaches for the first spell that comes to mind-- fire. Yes, torching the angry forest will surely calm it down.]

[B.]

[Belth knows better than to sleep beneath the trees here, but he's still feeling a bit wild. This strange forest reminds him of home. Giant living plants? No problem. Mushrooms as tall as skyscrapers? That's called Zangarmarsh according to the books he's read. He's not even bothered. When he thinks he's alone, he takes off his boots and his outer robes, leaving just his black long-sleeved shirt and trousers on.

Then he scrabbles up a tree, fingers and toes digging into soft teal moss. It's exhilarating to be brimming with mana and surrounded by nature in a way he's forgotten, and he can't help laughing a bit as he hops from branch to branch.]
ino: (IT'S HUGE)

[ She was just wandering around exploring the planet, but when she hears someone yelling from a little ways away -- she darts from tree to tree to make it over where the sound is coming from, stopping once she reaches that point to look down from a higher branch.

Is that ... a fire? And Belthazar ... ? ]


-- Belthazar?? Are you alright?
arcanepower: (🙧 fearful they end)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-20 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[The vines have been torched to ashes, but there's more movement from the shadows beyond. He snaps his head around, looking for the source of the voice.]

Ino?!

[Fuck fuck fuck he is in a bad place. He backs up against a tree, his hand still outstretched in case the plants continue to attack... which is looking very likely. He just set them on fire after all.]

I, er, may have miscalculated a tiny bit.
ino: (Hmm ...)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-20 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ She drops down from the tree to get in front of him, protectively ]

Miscalculated how, exactly?
arcanepower: (🙧 time and again)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-21 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Animated plants are not something I am afraid of. It's a common sight on Azeroth.

But, um, these ones are very persistent and... durable... and I set them on fire and it appears to have made everything in the vicinity very angry--

[There's howling. There is something howling what the actual fuck. He yanks his hood over his head as if it might hide him better.]

I've heard this before. Skinning a bear supposedly aggravates every bear in a forty yard radius. I thought it was just an anecdote so I barely gave it any thought. Until now.

ino: (Facepalm.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-21 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Belthazar why are you talking so much THERE ARE PLANTS HOWLING AT YOU.

She just sighs and reaches back to grab his hand, and uses the opportunity to poof them right out of that area and somewhere further away where ... hopefully things won't be attacking him??? ]
arcanepower: (🙧 a sadness runs through him)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-25 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[The rambling is just ... him. Thankfully she doesn't bother arguing with him, she just teleports him out of there. He's used to teleporting though he's not totally mastered it himself; the lurch doesn't turn his stomach as much as it might have otherwise.

He holds onto her hand too, maybe a little longer than necessary. Everything is back to normal. Nice and peaceful and inordinately huge, but peaceful.

He peeks out from under his hood.]


... I think it's over. Thank you.

[AND THEN of course he checks to make sure he has his basket and herbs still.]
ino: (Hmm ...)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-26 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's not over when Ino is there to MOM THE FUCK OUT OF you, Bel ...

She's looking him over carefully ]


Are you sure you're alright?
arcanepower: (🙧 time and again)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-27 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He's uninjured. Kid's good at taking care of himself when he's not taking stupid risks. The attention makes him blush a bit, and he tries to dodge in that way little kids do when they're feeling overwhelmed.]

I'm fine.
ino: (Hint hint wink wink nudge nudge~)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-27 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ She'll be brushing off his shoulder, anyways ]

Good. Let's keep the fire away from the plants from now on, 'kay?
arcanepower: (🙧 held together with string)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-27 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes, I know now. It was panic, honestly...

[He smooths down his hair.]

How did you do that? The... teleporting. Are you a mage?
ino: (I don't get it.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-28 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
A mage? No, I'm a ninja.

[ She blinks ]

It's not magic, anyways, it's chakra.
arcanepower: (🙧 to a god he doesn't believe in)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-31 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
... Chakra? I've never...

[He's so confused.]

What is a ninja?
ino: (Better vision.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-31 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
A type of warrior. Usually known for their stealth and speed.

[ She looks a little amused now, at his confusion ]

Do you know anything about cells?
arcanepower: (🙧 held together with string)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-31 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Prison? Not especially.

[This isn't helping. He missed a lot of the scientific shit in Exsilium. All the weird genetic experimentation came to light after he left.]

We have warriors with those specialties, too. They're called rogues.
ino: (Cheerful.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-31 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ She laughs ]

No, no. Your body is made out of these little microscopic things called "cells". The energy they produce keep you alive, and as a ninja, you can also channel it to do other things. I've been teaching Hiro how to do some of it.

Yeah -- I've heard that term before, too. It's pretty close to what I do, anyways.
arcanepower: (🙧 to a god he doesn't believe in)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-31 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[That's crazy, but it's REALLY NEAT INFORMATION and his eyes get wide.]

I've never heard of that before. You must be from a place far more technologically advanced than mine... It doesn't sound too much different from mana, all things considered. I've seen rogues perform similar tricks.

What else can chakra do?
ino: (Is that right?)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-31 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's how I can heal, too. By putting my energy into the person who's injured, I can make the damaged cells regrow the way I want to fix their injuries.

But really, the possibilities are pretty much unlimited. Most families where I come from have a certain type of technique that they specialize in -- for example, I have a friend who can control all different types of bugs with his chakra, and I have another who can use the special chakra in his eyes to predict what their enemy's next move is -- things like that.
arcanepower: (🙧 translates to you as an insult)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-31 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
The more you tell me about this, the more it sounds like magic. [He raises his hand.] I know it isn't, but it's... all very interesting. I'd like to find out more about these 'cells' and see what the differences are between worlds.

Magical families also have specialties. An ancestor of mine was very gifted at scrying, so he was given the deed name of Spellscry. In Common, anyway. The original form is a little harder to pronounce.
ino: (Join us!)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-31 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
It has some things in common, but from what I've seen -- it seems like with magic you can create things out of thin air, which isn't really the case with chakra. ... I'd be willing to bet there's some sort of equipment in the lab on the Bishop that you could use to look at cells with, maybe?

What's scrying?
arcanepower: (🙧 there's a beautiful sadness)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-05-31 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes, that's true. Conjuring is definitely its own school of magic.

I'll ask someone about cells later...

[Ah, here's something he can teach her.]

Scrying is being able to watch and even listen to events without being there in person, usually through a medium like water or glass. It can function both ways as a communication method as well.
Edited 2015-05-31 06:14 (UTC)
ino: (Thoughtful.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-05-31 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! That seems handy.

So, can you do that, then ... ?
arcanepower: (🙧 to a god he doesn't believe in)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-06-04 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
I can. There are no communicators or video consoles on Azeroth, so it's more useful there. Here, it's mostly just a bragging right...

[He rolls his shoulders in a light shrug, then looks down at his basket of flowers.]

Time to catalog these, I suppose.
ino: (Let me explain.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-06-10 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, you never know. The communicators were given to us by Atroma, they could shut them off at any time -- trusting them to be the only way to communicate would be stupid.

[ She smiles ]

What did you find?
arcanepower: (🙧 there's a beautiful sadness)

[personal profile] arcanepower 2015-06-10 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
The ones the Initiative gave us didn't stop working, but they did have trouble with transmissions at times. Much like the Atroma representatives.

[He picks through the flowers on the top.]

Flowers, mostly. I will analyze their traits and see what I can make out of them. My best guess is mana potions; the planet itself seems to have regenerative properties.
