Gumball Wishes and Taxicab Dreams

[thespaceopera]

[On today's episode of the Drift Fleet:

The cargo holds are full of mysterious crates! The crews are filling beyond capacity with new faces! Official alerts are informing the passengers that they are signed to contracts that they've never agreed to! They are docking at the dazzling FS Starlight, but are flat broke!

What are they going to do!? Stay tuned to find out!


...Meaning, this is a kickoff mingle for you all to enjoy the beginning of the latest plot setting. This is a convenient place to start threads relating to the first week of the event-- meeting new crewmembers, reacting to the mysterious cargo, arriving on the station and discovering that you're all broke, etc.

Tag around, start whatever you'd like, have fun. And, as always, feel free to make your own posts and mingles from here on in, as this will be the only mod-posted one for this event!]

[ Spirit artes is a part of life in Rieze Maxia. It doesn't seem to bother her that she's casting healing spells out in the open. She's earning money and helping her crew. ]

Oh, sure!

[ This time leaving out the unnecessary flipping of her staff, she prepares another spell and speaks aloud another incantation as swirls of light circle around her. ]

Rain down, the breath of life... Healing Circle!

[ The circle of light that opens up underneath her is even bigger this time around, fancier-looking too. In addition to the glyph, there's even more light raining down from above like shooting stars. It lasts for several seconds before disappearing.

It draws in another crowd and applause, as well as more tips. ]

[No mystery there about the function, so internally there is a mix of curiosity and that old knot of anxiety when it came to magic used on others. Then again, this form of a spell was indirect enough that it could has passed through the loopholes of Cabaline doctrine.

He holds a hand out, inside the circle, as the illusory stars fall.

She did as he asked, so he can't bring himself to be stingy, and he throws her a chip he probably can't spare. If she weren't a child...]

I am impressed. I don't supposed you'd care to tell me how it's done?

[princessia]

Thank you. [ For the chip. ] Um... sure, I can tell you.

[ If she had never met people like Jude, Rowen, and Milla, she would have never been able to properly explain spirit artes. More like parrot their explanations word-for-word, but the symbiotic relationship between humans and spirits is something she understands at least. Instead of merely parroting everything. ]

Spirits and humans from Rieze Maxia have symbiosis. Humans give mana to the spirits, and the spirits use artes to help people.
