i: the magician 🚪 video

[foolaround]

[ minako grins at where she's placed her bracelet, sitting on a couch with a book of prismal fairy tales open in front of her, while a song plays somewhere in the room. right next to her and half in her lap, there's an albino shiba inu relaxing. regardless, she waves at the screen. ]

Hi, Lunatia, Minako Arisato here! So, I've been here a while, but I wanted to know a couple of things. First off... has anyone been going to the Academy, and is it worth it? I still had another year of high school, back home, so... [ she makes a face, gesturing vaguely ] you know. I don't want to go home, if I can help it, so yeah--might as well, right? But I don't really know what it's like.

Second! This question's more for music-type people, buuuuut is anyone here offering guitar or harp lessons? If we can even get instruments like that here! I haven't really looked at it. If there are any good books on local music history, that'd be really cool too!

[ she thinks for a second, scritching koromaru's ears. ]

Last one, I'd be really curious about any myths you know from your home, about the underworld or death? Whether you're from an Earth or not! [ she laughs after a moment, seeming a little self-conscious. ] Sorry, this has been a lot, huh? Thanks for your time, everyone!

Oh, that doggy is so cute!

[ Minako is going to see nothing but Konoka's lit up face for about the first five seconds. ]

Ah, if only I could pet him through the screen!

Anyway, also looking into the academy itself. I'm wanting to know more about Chroma, and perhaps get a handle on their technology while I'm at it? Everything's suggesting magic and technology are tightly interlinked here.

I can't help you with music, I'm afraid. As for death, I haven't heard anything unusual, death is pretty much what it is based on the cultures of Earth.

[foolaround]

Yeah... [ she nods, leaning into the couch a little and frowning in thought. ] I'm pretty curious about the details on how magic works here, too. It's a lot rarer where I come from, most people don't even know it's real...

And that's okay! It was kind of a stab in the dark anyway.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I hear that the Academy here teaches magic, but I'm not sure. I've been looking into it.

You use magic? How does yours work?

[foolaround]

Oh! I just summon aspects of my soul and they use the magic.

[ you know. normal. ]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

You can summon parts of your soul?!

[ Konoka sounded incredulous, as possibly expected from a normal person. ]

Isn't that dangerous though? Those sort of spells are really draining! I can only use that kind of thing once a day still!

[foolaround]

Eh? [ konoka what. ]

No, not really? If I overuse my Persona's spells, it can wipe me out, but... summoning's no problem. It just takes a little Chroma.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Huh. Everyone's magic really is different.

[ Konoka looked thoughtful for a moment, and then sighed. ]

Guess I need to keep practicing my magic. I don't need to cast from my soul to use magic, but all the strong stuff winds up exhausting me more than it normally would.
