[open] Is it better to believe?
Who: Leo Fitz and YOU
Where: Around the Kindergarten
When: 23rd-27th (event catch-all)
Rating: Will edit this if threads move beyond PG13
Summary: When the scientist wakes up wielding magic, the first thing he wants to do is run three thousand tests. Something might accidentally get set on fire. He'll probably need help dealing with it.
The Story:
[ There are a few things Fitz understands about this event. He knows he's supposed to be some sort of wizard -- the word "evoker" springs to mind, even though he's not sure how to place it or what to do with that knowledge. But he does know that it's fascinating. It's a different sort of magic than the kind he'd had when Wonderland had transformed into that magic school. Then, he'd been seamlessly integrated into a society that took magic entirely for granted. He'd been a scholar, but at things that didn't require a frame of reference. None of it translated into anything particularly useful when the event ended and they returned to themselves.
But this is a different sort of magic. He's retained his faculties, and they've been transported to a world where mistakes probably won't end in something catastrophic. He'll spend his days working through the mechanics of what he innately knows, but hasn't yet examined. The trouble is that initiating the spell is more challenging when he's trying to slow down the process gained by forced muscle memory. He knows how to create a fire shield, but in trying to determine where the flames are actually coming from, he might start a few fires.
And as such, the bulk of his days will be entrenched in a different kind of experimentation. Settling in what he thinks is an uninhabited patch of land, he tests every spell he can think to test. It ranges from ice storms to fireballs, with the occasional acid arrow or gust of wind soaring over everyone's heads. He might need some help mitigating the ensuing disasters that come from it.
What he isn't prepared for is how exhausting it all is. Spellcasting is stressful, and a different sort of strain than what he's normally dealing with. (Perhaps it's symptomatic of a low constitution.) Every evening, he's tired enough to have a hard time standing upright for long periods. His notebook is increasingly full of data, but the headaches and nosebleeds are a terrible price to pay.
He knows he should probably stop. But it's all so interesting... Just one more. Just until the event ends. It's important data to compile, even if he thinks he might pass out after the tenth spell in a day (or earlier -- there's something about a freezing sphere that sucks everything out of him). ]

[She is so much less concerned about why this works and more concerned that it will work. Thankfully, Cure Wounds is an easy first level spell, even if it doesn't always heal a lot. Regardless, she touches him, hand glowing, and heals him for 11 HP.]
Is that b-better?
no subject
The spell doesn't do much for the toll taken on his level of focus, but it does help with ambient aches he hadn't noticed before they were removed. It makes him smile to see how much she's fretting -- over him, no less.]
Much better, yes. What's the word for that -- "Cleric"?
no subject
[She only knows this so intimately since this is a character she designed, though this weekend has been more like advanced cosplay. She's happy that she managed to help him, though-- for once, she gets to be the medical type of doctor.]
There's a lot of different classes depending on what, uhm, edition you're p-playing, but there seems to be a pretty big mix.
no subject
["gods" and "destiny" are usually identical in the greater scheme of things.]
But what do you mean by "edition" -- I believe someone mentioned something on the network, but I haven't kept up on it.
no subject
[Not all destinies are from gods!! Some are from intergalactic princesses and stuff. C’mon Fitz, know your genre knowledge. She does perk up at something she can answer though.]
Oh! This event is, uhm, based on a roleplaying b-board game. Dipper plays it a bunch and we have one going in Wonderland. This is actually my character!! Her name’s Ichigo.
[She looks like she might be going into a bigger rant, but stops herself.]
But uh, there’s different editions of the game that has slightly different rules, as it was updated over the years. They’ve all got the same b-basic idea, just uhm, slightly different class and race or ability choices.
no subject
So we're trapped inside a children's game.
[He might be judging a little bit.]
no subject
Well it’s not just, like, f-for kids, it’s-- It’s a storytelling game. You work together with people to write something interesting in a cool setting. It doesn’t have to be, uhm, h-high fantasy either! You could pick a scifi setting, or like an urban magic vibe…
I mean, uhm, I think it’s p-pretty cool.
