I want to learn about meditation
I'm considering it for Sanguis

Give me anger-management ideas if you have any
Something that isn't punching people

Thanks.

[foxable]

honestly i’d rather not fight at all
i don’t even like to use aggressive magic and there i was biting people until they bled

yeah it took
a lot of my blood
to make me stop


okay god pointless rage sounds even worse
i just got wildly overprotective of someone

i don’t know if it’s better or worse that i feel that way whether they were there or not

[saezuru]

Sanguis may not give us a choice
Sounds like yours was bad, though

Me too
He understands though

[ And used it against him, but you know, he's his boss so that's his right. ]

Did they return your feelings?

[foxable]

yeah it was uh
an experience alright

that's good

ah
yeah
though he did say i was going nuts and he was correct

he's not sanguis tho it looks like he's cordis which is a whole other issue

the moons in general just seem to be A Lot

[saezuru]

Maybe you need someone to punch you instead

I don't think it makes us crazy
It just makes it harder to hold back

Is Cordis bad?

Seems like most people are used to it

[foxable]

i'm reeeeally not used to having my inhibitions lowered

i'm a pacifist, usually
so it was a bit of a shock


uhhh
no not bad just

he just smells really good it's kind of a problem

[saezuru]

It must have been a shock

Beating up people is my job so it's not different for me

I've heard Cordis is like that
Do you like him?

[foxable]

you beat up people for your job?

what's your job?




are you a boxer????


ah
yeah

yeah i do
it's complicated but haha everything here is probably

[saezuru]

I'm a bodyguard

I understand
Things here can make relationships complicated

[foxable]

oh!

well that’s not a bad job
protecting people is always important

who do you guard that needs you to beat people up all the time??

[saezuru]

My boss
He's a very important man back home
Violent people have tried to kill him

[ It's because he's a yakuza ]

[foxable]

that’s terrible!!

look
i specialize in enchantments
potection spells, wards, stealth

maybe i could help you guys out? mean you have to beat up fewer people?

[saezuru]

Ah
I appreciate the concern
But you shouldn't get involved

No one here has tried to kill him yet
All of our enemies are back home

[foxable]

haha well i know the feeling

mine are too
though it doesn’t stop my partner from being paranoid
and i still don’t go out without my cloaking spell

just lemme know if you change your mind

i’ve heard some weird stuff can happen here

[saezuru]

That sounds difficult

[ Magic... that's way above his pay-grade. ]

Even so, it's not a civilian matter
Don't worry about it

[ He's a yakuza.... ]

[foxable]

no worse than a lot of people, and it’s a lot freer here

civilian?

what are you military or something?

[ forgive him, he is very naive... ]

[saezuru]

It seems to be, yes

No
My boss is part of the yakuza

[ Which means yes, by extension, he is also a yakuza ]

[foxable]

oh


OH


WAIT

wait do you have any of your mages here because i've never got to pick the brain of a yakuza mage and god i love tattoo magic so much but obviously i can't just go to japan and ask to talk to the yakuza let alone you know afford a ticket to japan and

oh

that's why your boss needs a body guard huh

so uh
do you guys

...

like
do yakuza things here

honestly i don't even know what they do i've only really seen them in anime

[saezuru]

We don't have mages

I'm not involved in the business side
I can't say one way or another

[ Those are trade secrets!! Well, and Doumeki really is too dumb to be involved in decisions. ]

[foxable]

oh

huh
really?

i guess you must not be from my world then??
do yakuza just exist in a bunch of worlds

just a simple bodyguard huh :) i can respect that


anyway i don't make offensive magic or anything like that
but i have no qualms giving defensive magic to people

i figure anything that keeps people from hurting each other is good, right?

[saezuru]

Yes, it seems we exist in many worlds

[ I mean, what would Japan be without the yakuza, right?? ]

That's a sound philosophy
Is magic something you can simply give away?

[foxable]

enchantments i sure can

what i do is take a normal object and suffuse it with a magic spell, and then that object can do whatever i set it to do from the outset

so i've got things like rings that will keep fire from touching you and stuff like that

they all need components, and the better the components, the better the magic, but i'm one of the best enchanters in toronto so i can make do with just about anything

[saezuru]

That sounds useful

Can you do something like that to keep someone from getting hit by a bullet?

What kind of components would you need?

[foxable]

yeah, i can do impact force stuff to be sure

best component is kevlar, which - yeah, yeah, i know 'if i can get kevlar why do you need a spell'
well because a) i need a lot less kevlar
b)a vest won't stop you getting shot in the head

but i can make do with scraps of steal, diamonds, iron, that sort of thing

the cheaper the components the fewer hits it will take before losing its effectiveness, but since i'm assuming the bullets wouldn't be charmed with an anti-magic field, even the cheap ones would last a while here

[saezuru]

[ Alas, his boss would never wear kevlar... ]

So just metal will do?
Can you enchant a lighter?

[foxable]

yeah, any non-brittle metal, basically

i sure can

though if he puts the lighter down ot gives it to someone else, that spell is going to transfer to them

it’ll only work as long as he has it on his person
