Test Drive #3

Test Drive #3



Lightning Crash

The weather over the floating island of Ascelion during spring months is best described as "hellacious"; its elevation puts it right among the worst of stormclouds and fuels their thunderous fire as they sweep past it and electrically scrape against its sides. Rain is frequent, but lightning is almost constant, along with thunderous rumbles that roll across the city and the open spaces of the Magicademy like waves.

But today is particularly bad. Webs of electricity crackle through the sky, jumping from cloud to cloud or grounding themselves on towers of the Magicademy angrily. None of them seem to endanger the students, but there's a first time for everything, isn't there? As titanic fury threatens to tear the sky in half, do you risk stepping into the outside? Does the infrasonic rumbling trigger fear or terror in your gut, as such deep waves are known to do? Perhaps you've learned a spell that will protect you. Or perhaps you've poorly learned a spell that may or may not protect you...

Wand Wrong Way

The rumors around campus speak of a small and musty store deep in the Merchant District, on a side road to a side road, where only those in-know go to find items that would surely draw too much notice if displayed publicly. Powdered dragon tail, eye of sphinx, swords Forged with magic-cutting spells, and most valuable of all, the Gateway Wand. Surely this legendary wand, in which the full power of Sundering hums, could get you and your friends back home.

Rumors are pretty lousy with directions, though. The Merchant District offers ample chance to get lost, to get distracted, or to stumble down the wrong alley and find hoodlums all too eager to extract "tolls" from the lost and seemingly helpless. Does your adventure become disaster? Does this rumored shop even exist?

Pantalones Giganticus

At its heart, Modification seems like the most simple of schools. What could be more simple than arithmetic? Therefore, Modification also has the steepest and most shocking learning curve of all, as it rapidly balloons to more complicated mathematical expressions, more variables in the formulae, and above all more chance for error.

So really, the mistake is an honest one. Any hurried student, probably in their third or fourth year of study, could accidentally introduce an unnecessary factor into their equation. That is probably why your pants are now sized for someone four times large than you. (Not four sizes. Four times.) Worse, this has happened to EVERYONE -- the entire population of the Magicademy, student and staff and faculty alike, are trundling around in blown-up bloomers, too-large trousers, not-conveniently-sized knickers... you get the idea.

Now the bad news: to fix the error in formula and restore your pants to normal size, someone else has to get in them with you.

Labwork

Not every magical disaster is caused by some wayward student you don't know. Many of them are caused by you instead. To wit: you're on the spot in one of the magical labs, being called on to demonstrate a technique more advanced than others you've mastered so far. Failure is expected, and the wards should prevent any injury to others from a miscast spell. But will the sparks of your magic just sputter out and die? Or will you inadvertently mispronounce, misform, misshape, or miscalculate in a way that brings chaos to you and your lab partner?

(You could also manage to succeed in casting the spell, but that isn't very fun.)

Dust | Dust: An Elysian Tail

[mithrarin]

Lightning Crash

Silhouetted in the corridor that became the tree-lined walkway stood a figure backlit by the constant flashes, his cloak and tail sweeping gently behind him as the winds that made it this far in tugged at them.

"I don't think I've ever seen a storm this bad before..."

Though quiet, his voice was intense, betraying a focus and a quiet worry -- not for his own safety, but simply the sanity involved in venturing out into that nightmare. It looked safe, and yet the moment it became unsafe, it would be too late...

Dust didn't ask for help, though -- not out of pride, but simply because asking for help didn't occur to him. Yet with the way his fingers curled and uncurled at his side, he clearly didn't want to venture out on his own. Help?

Pantalones Giganticus

Clutching at his massively oversized pants, with mounds upon mounds of cloth tumbling down in front of him and threatening to trip him at every moment, Dust hunched over low -- blushing so fiercely the color was visible through the fur on his face. He'd seen a couple of people fix the problem in a way that... that was, uh, a bit familiar? There had to be another way.

Trying his best to be subtle, Dust crept towards Kedrigan Hall. He was, as it happened, not subtle in the slightest. Especially not when going through the door inside, as his oversized pants snared on a doorknob and brought him up short.

"-Nrgh!"

(I'll do prose if you'd prefer!)

lightning crash

[pawper]

[She's used to blizzards, not rainstorms, but there's honestly not much difference between the two when they're raging at full force, splitting the heavens with raw elemental fury, beyond whether you end up frozen or simply waterlogged. She's also more used to physical cues than words or tone, needing that physical edge to things. So when Lys finds herself unable to sleep through the tempest and starts wandering the halls, the nervous gesture draws her attention as much as anything else.

It'd be a lie to say his form doesn't give her pause — anything that had fur, a tail, and walked on two legs was usually trying to rip her head off, fangs bared and claws out — but in light of his ability to speak, manner of dress, and all the rest, well. Lys figures she can put that much aside.]

It's pretty bad, yeah. [Easing up beside him, footsteps scuffing audibly between thunderclaps so as not to seem sneaky.] Did you need to go somewhere?

Lightning

[nobodys_puppet]

Xion hadn't made it to the beach today. And no storm was going to keep the small figure from making it there. She needed to pick up a shell. Every day, she pick ed up a shell. So she was standing beside Dust for just a moment as she considered venturing up, hood closed tight around her face. Then she took a deep breath and stepped into the rain.

"THUNDER!" she cried, raising a hand and pointing. All the lighting focused for a moment on the bare spot ashe was pointing to. She started to move forward.

...pantalones

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

There was an unladylike shriek from behind him as Isabel tripped over her own tremendous trousers, attempted to catch herself; failed, and fell forward, somehow managing to knock the door aside and disengage the fox-fellow's pants from the snare.

She wasn't particularly trying to pants him as well, but that might be an unintended side effect as she lands on her hands and knees, the giant pants ballooning around her.

"This is NOT my day," she sighed, dusting her palms off on her pants. "I'm so sorry!"

Roxas || Kingdom Hearts

[twilightskey]

[[OoC: Please indicate whether or not you're okay for KH3 spoilers!]]

Lightning Crash
[The severity of the storm was greater than Roxas had seen, both here and back home. It was almost mesmerizing in a strange way to watch the rains fall, and see the crackle of lightning arc like fingers across dark clouds. When he wasn’t in classes Roxas watched the storm from one of the nearby windows, a small frown on his face.]

[If he noticed anyone looking like they were about to head out, he turned to them, a look of both surprise and concern on his face.]

You’re not going out there, are you?

Wand Wrong Way
[Roxas knew that the rumours were just that: rumours. There was no hard evidence that this shop in question could have such a powerful wand. But if such a wand truly existed, it would have the power to get them back home. So it was worth a look, at the very least.]

[That was how Roxas got to where he was now, a note in hand with directions to this fabled shop. Though, “directions” was a generous term for the near-illegible scrawl on the piece of parchment in his hand. He had spent the better part of an hour fruitlessly searching the Merchant District, and with each passing moment he felt as if he was going in circles.]

Excuse me, but do you know if there’s a Balor’s Way anywhere near here? [If the directions proved to be fruitless, he’d let out a sigh, scowling at the note in his hand.]

This is just a wild goose chase, isn’t it?

Labwork
[It had been a simple spell, or at least Roxas had hoped it would be. A simple spell to transform the little stone statuette of a cat into a live version of it. It was something he’d never done, but he felt he could try it. He’d read the spell carefully, practiced the gestures, studied the pronunciation. He was sure he could do it.]

[Evidently, he couldn’t.]

[When the flash of magic faded, the little statuette was still there, and Roxas was nowhere in sight. Then, after a few seconds pass…]

Meow??

[That peculiar cat with sandy-blonde fur and blue eyes wasn’t there before…]

Wrong way - this will be so very different from the last TDM

[nobodys_puppet]

Xion had been coming back from the beach when she heard the voice. She KNEW that voice. Lea had told her he had to do something, he'd meet her after. Their new usual spot. She was going to buy the ice creams on the way back. Three. Like she did every day.

She shoved the shell into her pocket and ran towards the voice. Her hood was up, her hands clutching it to keep it in place as she got jostled by the crowds. Finally she broke through to where he was standing, staring at his back.

Sora... had looked nothing like Roxas. It had taken her some time to truly get that he wasn't just... Roxas with a heart. But this...

"Roxas?" she asked in a whisper, a soft voice that shouldn't have the power to carry over the cacophony of the crowd. But if he didn't hear her, that was fine. She would follow him until she was sure... Though given the crowds, that following might happen from rooftop to rooftop.

Lab Work- And spoil away!

[hotheadwarmheart]

[Lea was late to class. All in all, this was nothing too unusual, as he'd never been one to care much for his schoolwork, here or back home.

The results this time, however, proved to be very unusual, as he missed seeing who had cast the spell, and was left with only the sandy furred kitty sitting on the chair next to his usual one when he slipped in.]

Well now... where did you come from, little guy?

Lightning Crash.

[afterthemoon]

((He's from the end of KH3, so don't worry about spoilers))

No, I'm just watching it.

[He wasn't intending to go out in that storm, but he was curious about it, though that's forgotten for the moment when the voice that spoke actually registers.]

Roxas? When did you arrive?

Real Steel | My Hero Academia

[tetsutetsutetsutetsu]

Lightning Crash

[Man, it looked awful out there. Back in Japan, he'd never seen it so bad, not even in typhoon season--and they were close enough to the sea that it wouldn't have been something noticeable.

Then again, Tetsutetsu had never been so high in the air before, either. This was really kind of weird, and he wasn't really happy about it, especially now being Quirkless.

Even if he'd had his quirk, Tetsutetsu wouldn't have wanted to go out there. He'd be turned into a lightning rod pretty damn quick! He'd also put a restraining arm out for anyone who looked like they were thinking about heading into the chaos.]

Hey, I'm not the brightest, but I'm pretty sure you don't wanna go out there!


Pantalones Giganticus

[Someone is...trapped in a heap of trouser fabric, doing their level best to struggle their way out of it. A messy mop of grey hair finally pokes out of one end and Tetsutetsu takes a break, panting.]

This sucks! Whose bright idea was this!? I'm going to kick their ass!

[Really, that means he'd have to find them first. Good luck doing that, without even being able to move in your giant pants. He doesn't really want to think about what has to happen before they'll revert to normal, either.]

rolls up in here IT'S GIANT PANTS TIME

[somanly]

TETSUTETSU!!! MAN, WHO DECIDED MAGIC HAD TO INVOLVE MATH?! THIS SUCKS, BRO!!!

[Kirishima is currently hefting his own pants around his waist, not too far away from where Tetsutetsu is wrangling his own. Kirishima's are likewise massive in near identical fashion.]

I thought it was supposed to be like, magical or something?! This is no more fun than regular classes at UA!!!!

Lightning Crash

[holdyourhorns]

[Well, that arm won't stop someone who's way shorter than a human with the way they prefer walking about, but what seems to be a bright Barney-purple dragon does so anyway because he'd rather not be stopped in a different fashion.]

Hey, I'm not a fan of rain either, but I think this place would already have made sure we can't get randomly struck by lightning.

Kirishima Eijirou | My Hero Academia

[somanly]

Wand Wrong Way
[Looking for the wand is kind of secondary as far as Kirishima is concerned. The entirety of the merchant district is more interesting, and Kirishima looks like a kid in a candy shop. His eyes are wide with a sharp, toothy grin on his face. He turns to his partner in crime.]

Hey, think we could just explore for a while? I know the wand is important and all but this place is AMAZING. I haven't gotten the chance to just check everything out since getting here.


Pantalones Giganticus
HEY, WHO'S IDEA OF A JOKE IS THIS?! [Kirishima shouts, to no one in particular. Just to shout. Considering he's currently swimming in his pants that had, in fact, fit him this morning when he woke up, he's got a pretty legit reason to be shouting at the top of his lungs.

Despite his best efforts there's really no easy way to do this, to deal with the massive amount of cloth around his waist. When he sees someone else facing the same problem he tries to walk over, waving them down with one arm while holding his pants up with the other.]

H....ey! Could ya help me out here?

Wand Wrong Way

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

Sure, why not? It's the weekend, right? Why shouldn't we cut loose a little! [Isabel laughed at that, and elbowed Kirishima just a little.]

Besides, exploring? It's like you're a man after my own heart. Let's get lost!

[She grinned at him and gave him a thumbs up. She's all for it!]

Isa | Kingdom Hearts | Be aware of KH3 spoilers.

[afterthemoon]

Lightning Crash

[It was a storm like nothing Isa had ever seen before in any world. Not even the highest tier of Thunder magic could match the arcs of lighting lighting up the clouds.

He saw no good reason to try and brave that storm.]

You should wait for the storm to pass.



Wand Wrong Way

[Why did he let himself get caught up in this?

Isa wanted to go back home as much as the next guy, sure, but chasing unfounded rumors had the tendency to end in wild goose chases.

And wild goose chases cause his patience to wear thin.]

This is just a waste of time, if you need me, I'll be back at the school.

[He turns on his heel to leave.]

Wildcard
((Have another idea? Go right ahead.))

Wand wrong way

[nobodys_puppet]

Xion had been heading through town trying to find a shortcut back from the beach. As usual she had been looking down as she walked until she saw the familiar black hem of a coat. She had been looking for Roxas, hoping he would show up like Axel had, So she looked up... just as he was turning on his heel, just as his voice registered.

Her hood was still up, but she saw his face clear as day. And panicked. She turned on her heel, dropping the shell she had picked up, and ran, trying to slide through the crowd, terrified. She had to get to Axel, had to warn him. And Sora. And... everyone. What would Saïx do to someone like Fluttershy?

She had to warn everyone.

Lightning crash

[gender_neutral]

"I thank you for your concern, but I cast protection from lighting before I headed out."

Kuja | Final Fantasy 9/Dissidia

[treno_nobleman]

Lightning Crash
Beyond the windows, the storm rages on, but Kuja can't help taking time away from his studies to admire the fury of the skies. Arms folded loosely over his chest, he stands comfortably leaned against one of the thick pillars in the library, watching rain pelt the land while lightning flashes brilliantly over everything.

"Such rage, such power. Only the heavens know what angers the gods on days like these, while down below we wait in wonder. For it to end. For it to claim another life. For the sun to appear again."

Apparently the energy of the storm has left an impression.


Labwork
Kuja is not one to fail at anything, if he can absolutely help it. This time, he intends not to do wrong, and he has prepared thoroughly for this performance. The wand is ridiculous, he thinks. In his own world, he would need but a thought and a bit of strength and the magic would be at his command. Now there are words, now there are wands to focus the words.

But it is as it must be, and he'll do whatever he has to to get ahead in this world. So, with the proper application of words and tools, he manages... to set alight the wick of a candle. How very... disappointingly... meager.

Labwork

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

Isabel certainly was impressed, to judge by her expression, but she still sighed. "You know...there was a movie back in my world that kind of summarizes all this. How things used to be, and then how they are now. 'Phenomenal cosmic power!!---itty bitty living space.' I used to be able to throw fundamental forces around at will, and now?"

She gestured at the candle and its lit flame. "I can't even do that! At least you make it look good!"

Link | Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time

[sevenyearsasleep]

Lightning Crash

The seventeen year old is playing a song on his ocarina, to match the fury of the storm. He's safe enough (probably), seated by a window, watching the lightning with mild glee.

Labwork

Whoops.

Whoops.

Link stared at the smoldering remains of what used to be a chair, his long ears turning a bit red at all of the sudden attention he'd just gained due to his spectacular failure.

"Uh....sorry...."

He hesitantly poke the pile of charred wood with the toe of his boot. The bits crumbled to ash as soon as he made contact with it.

Lightning

[nobodys_puppet]

The small hooded figure was heading out into the storm, seemingly heedless of the lightning. She was in a long black coat and was darting from what would be shadow to shadow if not for the lightning illuminating her.

She was running AWAY from the dorms.

Ardyn Lucis Caelum | Final Fantasy XV

[sanavosmet]

[a; lightning]

[Ancient traditions and superstitions held that rain was an ill omen; the wrath of Ramuh at best and Leviathan at worst. No one truly believed such things since the fall of Solheim, but anyone with common sense knew not to be out in a storm like this.]

[...The existence of Ardyn's common sense was often up for debate.]

[He wasn't mad enough to be wandering outside just yet--instead the man in white stood just inside an arching doorway, looking up at the sky in calm silence. Hopefully no one was caught out in this, but...just in case, maybe he'd stay there a bit longer keeping watch.]

[b; wrong way]

[Ardyn paused in the middle of walking some back alleyway of a back alleyway, looking around to better evaluate his surroundings...and coming up with nothing useful.]

[Yep. Definitely lost. How embarrassing, usually he was better with directions than this. Then again, this world and city were a touch more advanced than he was used to, added on to the already disorienting nature of an entirely different realm. Of course he'd be liable to get lost, but what was he supposed to do? Not chase rumors of something that might be able to send everyone back home? What use would that be?]

[On the other hand, he really wasn't much use standing around wishing he'd thought to look for a map. Hopefully he'd at least be able to get back before dark, but optimism was fading about as fast as the late afternoon sunlight.]

[c; wildcard]

[come at me--i'll try to match format]

A- Lightning

[bearshermark]

[Eleven is usually pretty good at common sense, but he's still perfectly capable of making not-great decisions.

Case in point: standing out in the couryard, left arm raised to the sky like he's just waiting to be struck by lightning.

It makes sense in his head, anyway.]

Izuku Midoriya | My Hero Academia

[nerdforall]

[Wand Wrong Way]

It was a strange situation, to be sure. Stranded in this place, without any powers, with no way to get back - so, of course, the Gateway Wand sounded too good to be true. But it was also the best option to get back, wasn't it?

Maybe he was getting in over his head, but Midoriya had decided to set out to try and find it himself. As valuable as the wand was, he doubted he'd be able to get it right away, but at least knowing the story was true would tide him over until he could find a way to do so.

Except... well, he was already terrible at directions. He usually found his way eventually, but this time, he felt especially lost. What if the shop didn't even exist? But no, he had to press on, and find out for himself!

He may have gone alone, or maybe he asked for help. Or perhaps, he's bumped into someone on the way over...


[Lightning Crash]

The violent crashes just outside the door were the only thing keeping Midoriya from just walking out of them. Being in a different place meant that things worked differently. As far as he knew, he didn't know of any spells to protect himself from it... but even if he did, would he risk it?

He instead opted to wait for someone else to happen by that might know of a way to brave the storm... he needed to get to another building!

Luckily, he happened to catch someone going towards the door, and he decided to walk over and ask: "E-Excuse me, do you know of a good way to get through that storm out there?" Other than rushing headlong into it, which is usually his first choice...


[Labwork]

Midoriya considered himself a pretty average student - maybe good with critical thinking, but lacking in other qualities. He often got lost in thought, and while trying to practice a magic spell to turn liquid into wine, started muttering to himself about how best to pull off the magic without failing. It was an advanced spell, after all!

Unfortunately, he started muttering a bit too loud, and the teacher decided to call on him to test out the spell. "Erk!" He blushed a little, having realized that it had happened again, with a portion of the class laughing.

Well, nothing better to do but try, right? He attempted to recite the incantation, but something went wrong - one mispronunciation later, and the liquid not only turned a dark color, but exploded out of his flask, dousing him and students near him. "A-Ah... s-sorry!" he said quickly, trying to start cleaning up the mess he'd made, with most of the class erupting with laughter.

He might could use some help... or cheering up.

LIGHTNING CRASH

[noasark]

Noa, for his part, has no interest in forcing his way through the storm right now. Heck, he's more tempted to ask someone working with Ka magic if they can just. Teleport him there at this point, because that doesn't look great.

Which is why he slowly turns to fix a dry look to Izuku.

"...If I did," he eventually answers, "Would I be here?" Back to looking out the window near the door. "Supposedly, none of that should make it downward beyond the rain," he continues. "...Supposedly..."

Isabel Knight | Mage: the Ascension OC

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

[Wand Wrong Way]

As interesting as the idea of a wand able to create a gateway back to her homeworld is, Isabel is far more interested in crawling around the musty alleyways, letting her curiosity lead her. So far, she's encountered a little tea shop that might be somewhere near this rumored shop. If it is, she'll find out later. For now, she's enjoying tea and cookies and taking in what is a non-rainy spring day, for once.


[Labwork]

Isabel's task has been set before her: use Fantastics to change the color of one smooth, matte white stone to a smooth, shiny blue stone. She knows the theory of it, even though it's beyond her. And she's been told, of course, that with enough will she should be just fine.

She should be just fine.

So she attempts the spell, holding a hand over the stone briefly. Then she takes the portable penny whistle she likes to use as a musical focus out of her robe to provide the tune. Closing her eyes, Isabel performs the music, until a startled gasp out of her partner tells her something happened...

But the notes must have been off somehow, or she got distracted. Because it's not the stone that's a pretty, shimmery blue.

It's her hair.

LABWORK bc fantastics is in my top three haha

[noasark]

Noa, being as he is, has had a hard time letting himself take up anything small for instruments in Fantastics. Which naturally creates a bit of a problem when the intro class requires it. Did he probably stare a while at the violin in one of the shops after being sorted anyway? Oh, definitely.

For now though, he's gotten a pocket ocarina. Which he's turning over in his hand when he says...

"Ahh. ...Well, you were close at least..." Quietly he ponders how Isabel's penny whistle tune was different from the tune they wanted. He needs to note this down later...

...For now though he's grimacing. "...Not very flattering, with our robes." Red and Orange...with blue! BAD.

Noa Kaiba | Yu-Gi-Oh! DM (anime)

[noasark]

[LIGHTNING CRASH]

He is not afraid of lightning.

Noa Kaiba was not someone afraid of things, or so he liked to tell himself. There was of course plenty to say otherwise- and rightfully so in a number of ways. But it was what he told himself, which was also why he and the relatively massive cat he'd somehow gotten bonded to were both staring quite warily at the sky above. Rain was absolutely coming down. That alone was plenty good reason to stick indoors, and he hadn't minded.

Except now he had to actually leave to go to a different building on the campus for his afternoon class of the day.

"Nnnhgggg..." There is a loud, fairly immature groan escaping him, the sort that he would absolutely refrain from making if he had any idea someone else was around. But the boy just can't stop looking...Up.

He's not afraid. And it can't even strike through whatever protections the school has anyway. It's logic. It makes sense. The school couldn't have lasted this long if it couldn't keep safe from that so. So!

"MrAAAAAAAAAOOUUURR."

"I am not stalling..." he hisses quietly at the cat, as if it had been speaking in the first place. But no doubt someone else has overheard that.

[LABWORK]

Noa is beginning to realize one very unfortunate drawback of going to a school, particularly a school with people. When he was growing up at home, he had nothing but tutors, and not a single classmate around. Which meant if he made mistakes, no one could laugh- and therefore also meant that the image of even being able to make mistakes just failed to really stick. Him??? Mess up?? Don't make him laugh, he studied this, and thoroughly.

But being in a class with people means that as much as he stares with interest when someone performs a spell marvelously, there is nothing stopping him from smirking and chuckling from his seat when someone doesn't.

And that means-

'Mr. Kaiba!'

-the experience of being called out in a class.

'Care to demonstrate your skills in the art?'

Naturally, he goes up to the 'stage' absolutely certain that he's going to do exactly that.

...

That is not what happens, and after a few seconds of time- filled with either humming, spoken scripture, or sigils- Noa is left red in the face and fuming at the absolute lack of anything 'correct'.

This is likely going to end in only a few ways- none of them anything but messy, unless someone steps in and even then;

"Nhh...What!" he'll snap to whoever's nearest.

(The teacher, for their part, seems rather content to just let things play out)

WILDCARD

[Noa has an app drafted here for those who want to look into him- otherwise, I'm pretty much open to any scenario, so feel free to either PM his account with an idea, or even just come up with a prompt to tag in with on the spot!]

incoming disaster train (lightning)

[blue_ice]

[ The weather on this island is consistently terrible. Kaiba has devoted an embarrassing amount of time researching spells to keep his white robes unblemished by the mud all around campus.

Lightning is another matter. He grits his teeth and passes through quickly, but in one of the flashes he spots a familiar head.

Noa. Not the first person here who's supposed to be dead by any means, but it's a shock that he's not prepared for all the same. He sucks in a breath and approaches, trying for a dry tone.

But his surprise is impossible to suppress entirely. ]

If that's not it, then what are you doing out here?

Spyro | Spyro - The Reignited Trilogy

[holdyourhorns]

[A - (Gekronus Maius) Pantalones Giganticus]
Spyro took one look at the pair of slacks he was supplied with and luckily wasn’t actually wearing them by the time it exploded in size like everyone else’s lower garments. He also thought better than to attempt waddling around in them. They weren’t exactly part of a dragon’s wardrobe… whenever an individual bothered to keep one that is.

He speaks aloud to no one in particular, but definitely within earshot of anyone passing by willing to stop and answer- “Do you think I’ll finally get a pass this time in Etiquette for not wearing pants?”

[B - (Aer et Calculum) Labwork]
The young dragon took a deep breath before striding up to the front. Nothing to it for this demonstration, just saying the right word while pointing at it, then hoping things turn out well.

“One rock turned into bread, coming right up! … Can I eat it if it turns out the way it should?”

A pointed look from the instructor tells Spyro that he really shouldn’t stall this moment for much longer and be his own guest if he dares the risk. So the dragon stands, then gestures with his claw with what was maybe the right manner? Along with the name of the spell that... maybe he wrapped his tongue around correctly?

Except nope. Instead of the tantalizing smell of freshly baked bread, the air is treated to the stench of burnt rubber and the rock looks more like a lump of ground beef now. Ew.

[C - Wildcard?]
[Hit me with anything!]

C - I really could not resist, I'm sorry.

[kaossandra]

She had just arrived herself and has been trying to get her bearings when she spotted Spyro. She could not have looked more like an archetypal villain if she tried. But at the moment, she was more startled than anything, those insanely long fingers wrapping around her hips as she stared. "Spyro? What are you doing here? And when did you turn purple again?" She even sounded like a villain, except for the part where she was saying his name.

Tony Stark | Marvel Future Avengers *Rolls in late with Starbucks*

[200percentextradad]

Lightning Strike

Tony knew technology wasn't working.

That didn't stop him from trying.

That being said, he had jury-rigged a lightning tower and climbed a tower, and hooked up a miniature generator cobbled together, to adjust for the wind, the temperature, and a contraption that would in theory be a backup for the magically powered Arc Reactor in his chest.

"If my math is correct, and it usually is, this should be the perfect solution. Now we just wait for it to charge up.

Ducking into an alcove, Tony waited for the perfect lightning strike to start the charging process on the makeshift arc reactor that was sitting in the middle of the platform. For a moment, he was back in the cave with Yin Sid, with a box of scraps. He didn't trust this magic to keep his heart becoming swiss cheese, no matter what the doctors said.

As Tony flipped through the Wizards equivalent of a k-pop magazine, a lightning strike struck the tower with a loud crash. "There we go!" Exclaimed Tony with a laugh. "Let's get another mother nature! We need five more!"


Labwork

tony was in the lab, checking his magical spellwork. At least something made sense in this hokey world that Dr. Strange would find more suitable. It was more his thing, than anything else. Holding up the vial, he swished it around and eyeballed the solution as it turned a bright pink.

"That looks... accurate," he muttered. Potions was a somewhat exact science, somewhat? Somehow?

Dropping in some root, he winced as it turned a lime green -- and began to sputter violently. With reflexes lone honed from superheroing, he exclaimed, "Everyone down!"

Yotsuyu waved a hand in front of her face, coughing the fumes out of her lungs. She stood and plucked the 'root' the man had carelessly tossed into his potion vial, and peered at the writing on the jar.

"Here is your problem," she stated coolly. "For what you were doing, you wanted acacia root. This is artemisia root. Wormwood. You are lucky you did not poison us all."

Khadgar loved going looking for trouble. It was what he did. Even with his own considerable magical prowess dampened, it hadn't dampened his spirits. No, in fact. This was giving him more need to seek out strange and exciting new magic that was going to be fun in itself.

"I think a little adventure would be quite invigorating, wouldn't you agree?" he asked his friend that had tagged along for the trip to find this curious shop that had been the source of all this talk.

Tapping Atiesh on the ground, he cheerily gestured. "Onward and upward, let's be off then!"

Khadgar posed in his oversized pants and raised an eyebrow. "Does this make my butt look big to you?" He asked his companion, in a cheery manner. "Of course it couldn't be just the pants, I must have put on a few pounds."


Labwork

"Well that's not the result I expected," said Khadgar. "Who would have thought, adding herbs from Azeroth to the native herbs would cause this sort of reaction? At least I didn't burn down the entire wing."

The entire place was on fire.

"This is fine."
