Iskaulit Mingle - Problems with Psychics

[notzubats]

Who: Anyone on the Iskaulit!
Broadcast: If you'd like?!
Action: Iskaulit!
When: Today, as Sora's augment glitch starts.

[It's your average day on the Iskaulit. Absolutely nothing seems out of place initially, but without any warning- you might find yourself or your friends experiencing some problems. What's up on that?

In other words, it's an Iskaulit mingle with a twist! Come on in everyone! You don't need to interact with Sora to have it effect you, so feel free to start your own threadstarter! Or talk to Sora, that's cool too. ]

[He almost quite literally had to bite his tongue to keep from replying too hastily. 'Are you spouting fire and ice right now? No? Then what do you think?' Would not be welcome criticism.

Reminder to self: Fenris was not Fenris right now, don't talk to him like he's Fenris or he'll do something very Fenris-like but probably with magic instead.

Anders shook his head.]

It's not like that. Opening the door does not mean the magic immediately comes out, it's inclined to bend to your will. If you don't go looking for it, you have no chance of controlling it.

Why do you think young mages learn they have magic the way they do?

[Wasn't this just funny? He was trying to teach an anti-mage/magic elf how to control magic while Anders bared his secrets to someone who couldn't care less. He always seemed to end up in less-than-favorable situations.]

I was in my family's barn, in the hay loft, I liked to play up there and there was a nice view of the mountains. I stepped too close to the edge of the loft and lost my footing, I very nearly fell off and I panicked. The next thing I knew, the hay was on fire and the rest of the building soon with it.

Fear controlled my magic because I didn't know it was there to control. You have to make an effort, just try and keep a clear mind.

[And there goes Anders again, sharing. Fenris isn't sure what has happened between them for this to be a thing now. He's not even sure if he wants it to be a thing. But it is, and there's little he can do about that.

He can't really find sympathy, but he feels...something that's not entirely contempt for Anders. It's a start. A step in a less hostile direction. ]

Easier said than done. My fear is well established.

[Danarius made sure of that much. Still, the elf closes his eyes, taking in a deep breath, trying to do ask suggested. ]

[He didn't expect sympathy or even understanding except for the concept, so a lack of reaction suits him fine. He didn't think he'd know what to do if Fenris had reacted at all. Possibly get angry, he knew himself well enough to know he didn't take pity well and certainly not from people he would take pity to mean contempt from.

Just a student he was simply trying to teach, he had to remind himself.]

I know that. [And yet Fenris still tried and that was something.

With nothing more than a small glow, Anders' Panecea kicked in, a subtle aura of healing and comfort he hoped might help. He hadn't done it a whole lot with his Fenris around, there was no way to know if this one would recognize the feeling from the Anders he knew. If it helped, it didn't matter.]

Once you're mind is calmer, reach for the mana and try taking hold of it. It's a tool in your hands, you wouldn't let your sword control your arms, don't let the magic control your head.

[He recognises it and frowns. His Anders tried it once in a while, never with great results. Fenris never really accepted the healing. It felt wrong. ]

Right. I...think I understand.

[A tool, Like a sword. The creeping feeling is still there, and he tries to press it down. Everything in his head is screaming wrongwrongwrong, but he reaches out for it anyway. He really hopes nothing explodes.]
