can a fairy fly underwater??

[huaaaaagh]

Who: A well-balanced party- AKA Kirito, Asuna, Nightingale, Opal, Jayden, and Nami
Broadcast: N/A
Action: One of the underwater ruins
When: During this month!

[At some point after getting Nightingale to stop screaming, a proper party is assembled! They've got everything: tanks, mages, DPS, puzzle-solvers! This whole dungeon crawl should be a cinch, right? It's not like any of them have a tendency to attract bad luck or sudden disaster.

H e h. Good luck, nerds.]

Well I was originally going to focus on magic, but... [She trails off with a chuckle.] I found I couldn't give up my sword.

[Asuna nod.] Yeah, I do. I should be fine even if we're spotted first-- the casting for one doesn't take too long compared to the higher level options. For testing purposes, it's doable.

[experiencepoints]

[yessss. She seems rather excited to be doing this again.]

Perfect. I have long range magic and debuffs, and with my new class, I can close to melee range to use my magic without MP cost. I can cover magic damage, but I don't have multi target as a Channeler, so we'll have to rely on you for that if it comes to it.

[stoccado]

Of course. My spells are ice and water based, so whatever we encounter down here might have resistances if nothing else. However, I can enhance my water damage and give our group water resistance as well. And Aqua Bind will be good, too, if we need to stall them.

[The excitement is so contagious.]

[experiencepoints]

[She nods.]

I've got fire, ice, and lightning- And quake, but that's totally useless- and I can use poison and sleep statuses if we need to. We should be pretty covered...

Oh, and I've got Wind for the puzzles.

[stoccado]

Ah, let's not use lightning down here. At all. [That pretty much goes without saying, but a part of her can't help but vocalize it. For safety reasons.]

And we're aiming for one hundred percent dungeon completion, right?

[A habit she picked up from Kirito.]

[experiencepoints]

Huh? Why not?

[She sounds genuinely confused on that point.]

Hm... Only if we're sure we can handle it. Let's get a feel for the level of the monsters first. We don't have potions here, and Opal's only got so much MP. I can backup heal if it's absolutely needed, but I'm... really, really bad at it, so it's better to not take needless risks.

[stoccado]

[Oh my god. Girl, please. Luckily Asuna's pretty good about hiding her surprise sometimes. Now is a time. Hopefully.]

Water conducts electricity. If you use a spell like that, we'll all be affected. [Fried. She means fried.]

I'm a healer, too, and I've got MP potions in my inventory. They came along with me when I arrived.

[experiencepoints]

[She looks at Asuna like she's not making sense.]

... What are you talking about? If I don't target us, it won't affect us.

[wait something else there was more important.]

-- You got to keep your MPots?

[stoccado]

Potions can wait!

[It's the sharpest she's been since arriving, but this is a big deal!]

Do you know what it means when something conducts electricity? This is very important.

[experiencepoints]

... Yes? I did graduate high school?

[stoccado]

S-sorry... [She lightens up a little bit. May have been too harsh there.]

Think of it this way-- would you put a plugged in toaster into the bath tub with you?

[experiencepoints]

[She has to take a moment, and then you can practically see the light bulb going off over her head.]

Oh- I assumed you knew since you're another caster, but... Are you equating magic with mundane electricity?

[stoccado]

Lightning is electricity, magic or not. When we did an underwater quest before, we didn't use lightning magic then.

[She's going to stick to this point forever.]

[experiencepoints]

[She shakes her head.]

It's a spell, created through aspecting mana to lightning. I won't use it if you think I shouldn't, but... My magic can't affect anything other than what I target. It's like trying to cook something with a Fire spell, it just doesn't work that way.
