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.)

"If you intended to leave, you could have done that already- I'm not about to do anything after all."
A pause, and- "...You should probably report the names of anyone who tries it, though..."

"I don't know any Xemnas...but I would have a little more faith in the mages here, at least." If she can't, then heck! How's he supposed to feel safe!!
He should probably try not to rely on Xion's faith in thingsno subject
"The mages here have never fought L... Xemnas," she said, shaking her head. "And I am done letting him hurt my friends." The most strength he would have heard in her voice so far!
no subject
Curiouser and curiouser...but! He refrains from asking. "...I see." Well.
"If you're not going to have faith in them, then, you might as well just make sure you can fight someone on your own, hmm? If you're not intending to let anyone help, I mean."
no subject
Though Axel seemed content to not go after Isa... Saïx. But Xion didn't trust him, was sure he was just waiting to revert to form. Of all the things for Axel to be wrong about, this was what he chose? Maybe it came with having a heart, wanting to think that Isa wasn't just Saïx playing a role.... Maybe.
She wasn't used to Axel being wrong, however. That in and of itself was disturbing.
no subject
He hadn't thought they'd win, mind...but...
"I'll keep that in mind. ...Good luck on your way to wherever you go, hmm?"

Well it was never a normal conversation but once again Noa is staring with relatively wide eyes and confusion on his own part.
...But he can at least be honest about one thing.
"We don't need to share enemies, for me to do this," he declares calmly. "...It's human nature, to prefer peace over tragedy. You've done me no harm- and you don't seem to me like someone who would intend it...well," he snorts, "Not without a good reason at any rate..."
"...So why shouldn't I? I certainly wouldn't wish you ill."
no subject
Then again... maybe not.
no subject
"...You don't think you have one?"
yeah, sure, drop a bomb like that and just walk away, Xion...
it's fine, it's All Fine ("but it was Not fine")
What?
Well. That's...certainly something.
Noa doesn't have anything to say to that. He simply stares, and watches as Xion leaves- wondering perhaps, what it takes to make a 'heart'.
Or perhaps a soul, he suspects.
TY for the thread! Looking forward to being in game together!
Well, she went off to confront Isa, but let's be realistic, she's going to chicken out and go hide until sunset.
