in which things do not go as planned
Who: Kirito, OTA
Broadcast: Y
Action: SS Paisley
When: Today's fine!
( video )
[The view switches on to reveal Kirito in the Spriggan avatar, crouched low with the camera tilted up towards him. Looks like it's on the ground.]
Okay, I'm using the comm so I have a record of what this looks like. I tried to encrypt it to make it private, but that's not my augment, so who knows if it worked. Feel free to ignore!
[He finishes fidgeting with the comm, tilting it at just the right angle, then disappears behind it for a second before reappearing at a distance, one hand lifted above his head.]
Þeír hræða nótt dýpt, renn helvegr!*
[As he begins, the full spell materializes in front of him in gold text and rotates around his body; when each word is spoken, it flashes white and vanishes. Once the full incantation is done, his body is consumed by a tornado of dark smoke, obscuring him from view. There's a muffled roar, and a burst of fire immediately following, and suddenly the room rumbles, knocking the comm off-balance.
When the smoke is clear the only thing visible is the cargo bay ceiling. There's a moment of scuffling and an "ow, geez!" in the background before finally a thumping of footsteps, heavier than someone ought to have with Kirito's stature. Through the smoke, one might catch fleeting glances of curled horns, dark fur, and glowing red eyes.
When at last he speaks, his voice is oddly distorted, something off about it.]
Whoa, okay, uh- crap. ....Paisley crew? Maybe don't go to the cargo bay for a while...?
( paisley )
[Anyone who happens to feel like wandering into the cargo bay despite his warning will find a ten-foot-tall hellbeast hunched over in the corner trying (and failing) to look inconspiculous, chanting quietly and looking kind of pathetic, appearance aside.]
[*Kirito's spell is Norse. Meaning, "Frighten them, depth of the night, and chase them along the roads of Hell."]

private;
No, no, uh... that... that's me. But the spell's supposed to do that.
private;
Wait, you cast a shapeshift on yourself? Do you have any idea of how dangerous that is?!
private;
EVERYONE IS SO SERIOUS ABOUT MAGIC HERE......]
Hey, settle down. It's not really shapeshifting- just illusion magic. That's the idea, anyway.
private;
Then it should only be temporary, yes?
private;
[He really should have learned a dispel skill or something.]
private;
Magic has too many variables to cast it without precautions.
private;
What precautions am I supposed to take? This is all new to me, it's not even supposed to work here.
private;
Whether or not it's supposed to work doesn't matter. You should always assume that it will, and plan accordingly.
private;
[Plus all the wizards on his ship are gone now, unless Loki can be called one, and he's not exactly the sort to confide in. Anyone else would end up inconvenienced, and nobody knows the ALO magic system. Who was he going to ask?]
private;
[Honestly, Kirito.]
What's done is done. As long as you are intact, then I suppose the experiment can be called a success. I do suggest having a partner, regardless; Hiro and I do many things together, or he will bother his brother.
private;
Well, I can manage that pretty easily, I think. I know someone who'd love to lecture me on all things magic.
[Any excuse and she'll take it. He's almost a hundred percent certain of that.]
private;
Who is it? Just out of curiosity.
private;
private;
[She's a decent cook, though not as good as he is. He appreciates her holding down the fort though.]
You will be in good hands.
private;
[He's not exactly thrilled to get dragged into magic lessons when he's already rubbish at it, but it's not like he has much else better to do during downtime.]
private;
[He really doesn't.]
private;
[You do an awful lot of scolding.]
