[alienation]

The library will do.

[crimeson]

you got it. meet you there.

[alienation]

[ It doesn't take him long to get there! Most of the time spent was just getting his suit back on really. So, a few minutes later, he's sitting on the steps to the library, helmet on. ]

[crimeson]

[randy turns up not long after, not carrying anything cumbersome or anything!]

Yo.

[alienation]

"Yo"... is this a greeting where you're from?

[crimeson]

A casual one.

[offering him a hand up.]

My quartz is fire, so we might wanna find somewhere indoors without books.

[alienation]

[ For a half second he considers telling him vrepit sa before slamming a door on that impulse. Almost literally. He's closing the faceplate to his helmet for the moment. ]

Wherever you believe is suitable will work just fine. Lead the way.

[crimeson]

[YOU GOOD????]

Hmmmm. The diner is probably fireproof enough.

[BACK TO WHERE WE MET.]

[alienation]

[ I'M GREAT THANKS!! ]

...it must be so exciting.

[ FIREPROOF? Anyway. He's on the way there already. ]

[crimeson]

Ehhh, I still need to level the quartz so it can only do Fire Bolt and Forte in terms of arts. I'll get more eventually.

[alienation]

You know, if you had told me nothing further, you could have just showed off and I'd be none the wiser.

[crimeson]

Oh, when I wanna show off it won't be with Arts.

[alienation]

I've little idea of what that is supposed to mean. But the way you say it is exciting nonetheless.

[crimeson]

I'm more of a physical kinda guy.

[into the diner we go.]

[alienation]

[ Staying away from the evil milkshake machine (for now). ]

"Arts" does make me think something along the lines of painting, writing, those sorts of hobbies.

[crimeson]

Hmm. Makes sense! It's not like that at all.

[pulling what almost looks like another cell phone out of his pocket, and he looks to be concentrating.]

[alienation]

[ He's going to go manspread in a chair and watch from nearby. ]

[crimeson]

Forte!

[well

hope he doesn't spook when he's briefly wreathed in fiery particle effects. they're only pleasantly warm, though, and leave him feeling stronger.]

[alienation]

[ why does nobody warn me about anything. ]

What is... this...?

[crimeson]

Forte. It's a buffing art. You have more strength for [4 turns] now.

[alienation]

[ Looks at his hands. ]

...perhaps I will take you at your word, rather than testing it in here. What a useful ability that is.

[ He's already really strong................... we don't want to ruin the diner that badly. ]

[crimeson]

Haha, fair enough. The other one I can do is a lil fireball. Thought I'd launch it into the oven, buuuut maybe best to just not.

[alienation]

And you can do all of this with that machine?

[crimeson]

Yeah. It lets me use the power of the quartz. Here.

[flipping it open (though it only has the center quartz right now.]

This is a Regulus Master Quartz.

[alienation]

[ He's leaning in, curious. ]

Do you know how the power is filtered through it to you?
