[It takes some fumbling; even after she's gotten the camera working, she doesn't realize it until a few seconds after the feed has started, still fiddling with the device. Eventually, she settles, with a soft but resolute expression.]

Hello. For those of you in the tower who don't know me -- and most of you probably don't -- my name is Aqua. I've been here for...

[She pauses, thinking.]

Over three months now.

I know about the experiments from a while ago; I was in Group D. [She looks troubled, averting her eyes momentarily when she thinks of the "special" experimentation group. She finds her composure again quickly enough, though.]

I'm sure most of us are aware of the incident with the worlds behind that door that appeared in the cafeteria. It's become very clear that this place is not safe, and there are some people who have no way to defend themselves.

So, I've decided I'm going to start offering magic lessons. Anyone who wants to learn is welcome to, [she pauses, expression becoming almost worried] but I really recommend it to anyone who has no other way to fight potential threats.

There's a form below this video. It would help me if people who are interested would fill it out and post it, but it's not necessary. Lessons will take place on the twentieth floor -- the floor with the ramp. Anyone who needs to reach me can message me here, or find me in room 1-07.

[And, despite the grim reasons for which this offer is being made, she gives a small smile.] I look forward to meeting all of you.

[The feed cuts off -- as promised, below it, there's a form, with explanations of the fields.]

Name: Your name, or what you'd like me to call you.
Age: So that I know how best to teach you individually.
Experience: Do you have any prior magical experience? Have you ever dealt with the spiritual or supernatural? Say whether or not you have experience here, and the details of that experience.
Type: There are different elements of magic I can teach. The basic spells are as follows--

• Fire: Fire-based magic, and the first kind that most people are taught how to use.
• Blizzard: Ice-based magic, usually taught alongside or soon after Fire.
• Thunder: Uses electricity to create lightning. Not often taught until the user has an understanding of Fire and Blizzard.
• Cure: Healing magic, and one of the most vital to learn. Used for fatigue and wounds.
• Aero: Air or wind-based magic. Often used to enhance speed or create a barrier.
• Reflect: Creates a shield around the user.
• Stop: Freezes a target in place, stopping movement completely.
• Magnet: Draws multiple enemies in towards a single spot.
• Gravity: Can be used both to bring a flying target down, or change your own gravity.
• Slow: Slows the movement of a target.
• Confuse: Causes a target's motor skills to be reversed; for example, an attempt to move left will result in moving right.
• Poison: Infects a target with poison to cause them continuous pain.
• Esuna: Healing magic, which is often learned alongside Cure. Can alleviate and reverse the effects of spells like Confuse and Poison, or other magic-based ailments.

There are many ways to use magic, but these are the fundamentals that are needed to learn more complex spells. Please list which of these elements you are most interested in learning. Or, if there's something in particular that you want to know how to do, but aren't sure what kind of magic that would entail, just say what it is you want to do, and I'll do my best to teach you, if I can do it.
Individual or Group: Would you rather I teach you one on one, or would you rather work with others who are being taught? Do you have someone specific that you want to learn with?

Vid - 1 IDEFK

[drknss-bnd-lght.livejournal.com]

[....was that?]

2 IDEFK

[drknss-bnd-lght.livejournal.com]

[...i-it was. Oh Light.]

Re: Vid - 1 IDEFK

[drknss-bnd-lght.livejournal.com]

[But - She was - she was dead. He'd finished her off like Vanitas had wanted and he'd done a good job and now she was alive? One of those who'd left him in the dark was --] Aqua......?

4 IDEFK -- I have too many emo ven icons

[drknss-bnd-lght.livejournal.com]

But I.... No. You should be dead! [There is something akin to horror in Ventus' softer voice and on his face, along with guilt.

And betrayal. So much betrayal.]

5 IDK OK!

[drknss-bnd-lght.livejournal.com]

But I...... you.... [just. Going to stare.]

6/7

[drknss-bnd-lght.livejournal.com]

[And stare before scowling, eyes narrowing. Alive. Why was she alive when she should be dead for what she did? Her and Terra both--.

Yea. This is not the Ventus you know Aqua.]

DONE.

[drknss-bnd-lght.livejournal.com]

[A shake of his head rapidly. Just as soon as the anger is there, it's gone, replaced by denial and fear. Ventus' hand goes to the hidden collar under the tower one then drops like he's been burned.] ....

Why....? you're better off dead.

[... that's.. an awful lot of betrayal and guilt there, Ventus.]

I WANNA LEARN MAGIC

Name: Molly Hayes
Age:13
Experience: no magical experience but I'm a mutant and really strong and cant get hurt!
Type: all of them!
Individual or Group: either 1!

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

A mutant? Wow.

Well, even with no experience, I can teach you if you believe. :) I'm looking forward to meeting you, Molly.

[wwaterboy]

Name: eridan ampora

Age: nine swweeps
Experience: i dont havve much but wwilloww is already teachin me some stuff so i figure this wwould be on top a that and maybe just a bit more practice
Type: i dont really care but the electricity sounds particularly useful i guess?
Individual or Group: probably indivvidual i dont need a bunch a other talentless wwrigglers gettin in the wway a my studyin

[text]

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. I can teach you one-on-one, if that's how you work best.
I don't mean to sound ignorant, but could I ask you what sweeps are? I'm familiar with years and seasons.

Do you maybe have a different calendar?

[benigncancer]

THIS IS GOOD.
I LIKE THIS.
DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE WHETHER YOUR MAGIC CAN BE CANCELLED OUT BY THE TOWER?

[text]

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, the tower is able to cancel my magic in some situations. I've learned that if the creatures in the forest get too close, it can happen. Most of this magic can be cast at a safe distance, though, so it can still be useful. I managed to clear my path in a few instances by casting Thunder spells in an area.

I'm also welcome to teaching the use of swords, if you know anyone who would be more suited to that, but that's not for everyone.

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[Hesitation up the wazoo for Ienzo here, but eventually he gives in. What if more Floods show up? No way is he going to go running to Ventus or Aqua... again...]


Name: Ienzo
Age: Eight
Experience: Personally, I know no magic, but it was used commonly by the people I lived with.
Type: Slow, Stop; if at all possible, basic attack spells such as Fire, Thunder, and Blizzard
Individual or Group: Individual would be preferred.

[...Is he even eligible for this? Gah. He really should go find Aqua and talk to her about it, but...]

[text]

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

Hello, Ienzo. I'm glad you're deciding to learn. That Unversed had me worried.

I can teach you individually. It's no problem.
If you have any other questions, you know where to find me. :)

[Video] Also she filled out the form idk.

[ocariness]

This is an excellent idea, as not everyone can hold a weapon such as a bow or sword with ease. The magic that I can use is very limited, so I would be glad for the help... especially in this place. People who are hurt, I have limited resources to heal with...

[ Have a smile from the Hylian. Also, she totally filled out a form, so here is that as well. ]

Name: Link
Age: 17
Experience: I live in a world full of magic. I've fought quite a bit of evil that can use it, as well. I'm also fairly adept at learning it quickly; I can use three spells and two kinds of enchanted arrows, myself.
Type: Esuna, Cure, Thunder, Blizzard... I think those would be most useful.
Individual or Group: Individual, but I would be willing to also help you if you need it with the others. I can teach swordskills and how to use a bow, if you would like.

[Video]

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

[She smiles, looking a little impressed.]

Actually, I think help with teaching how to use weapons would be wonderful. I can use swords, but my style is very tailored to me. I can teach it if it's needed, I just don't think it would be convenient for most people to learn how to do.

Maybe after I get the magic lessons up and running, one of us can put up a similar announcement like this for weapons training?

[arisawa.livejournal.com]

Name: Tatsuki Arisawa
Age: 17
Experience: Mostly I just know people who can do stuff. I can hold my own in a fistfight, but I don't know how useful that'll be here.
Type: As much as I can get the hang of. Anything I can use to protect people.
Individual or Group: One on one if you can spare the time, but no real preference.

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

Of course I can spare the time. :)
Any fighting experience can help. It assists in getting you into the proper mental state, and it means you have a way to focus the magic.

[evokemydread.livejournal.com]

[With how dependant he is on his Personas and the possibility of his weapon being taken away, or knocked out...

Minato fill out the form.]

Name: Minato Arisato
Age: 17
Experience: I have experience from fighting monsters that can use magic. I can also use my own magic, but it's dependant on a medium.
Type: All, if it's possible.
Individual or Group: No preference.

Thank you for offering this, Aqua-san.

[text]

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

You don't have to thank me. I'm happy that I can help.
If you can already use a form of magic, then you should take easily to all types.

I'm looking forward to working with you, Minato.

_{[enjoy the totally black screen. there's a low breath and then a quiet laugh.]}

So.

You're...

..a witch.

[video]

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

[Okay that's creepy. She's creeped out. At first she wonders if it's something like those other strange messages that the network turned out, but then the voice comes through.]

... [Is she a witch? She's never really associated herself with those women of lore, with the newts' eyes and frogs' legs. Aren't most witches ugly and evil?

Despite being shaken, she sounds remarkably calm as she answers.] I use my magic for good. Do you consider that to be a witch?

[Text]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[She wars with herself for some time before deciding to do this. It seems like power has only ever meant trouble for her... but at the same time, she doesn't want to be a burden to anyone else. It would be even better if she could be a help, and she knows that as physically weak as she is, magic would be her best bet. Even then, she hesitates, but in the end, the drive to be able to avoid causing trouble for everyone else wins out.]

Name: Naminé
Age: 15
Experience: Yes. [Although she doesn't list it. It would be a lie to say 'no', but she's still not certain how to say 'yes' and explain without saying too much.]
Type: Cure, Stop, Magnet, Reflect, Esuna, Slow, Confuse. [It takes her a bit to get herself to add,] Maybe more later. [Because at least those first ones are less directly harmful.]
Individual or Group: Either.

It's very kind of you to do this.

[Text]

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

[Maybe it's just because she's spoken to Naminé before, and has seen her hesitance in talking about her past, but Aqua doesn't inquire further as to the affirmative on the experience field of her form.]

I'm glad you think so.

Don't worry. You'll be okay. [It's hard to tell if she means just in the learning, or how Naminé will actually handle the responsibility of using magic, but either way, she seems confident in her assessment.]

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

Anyone can learn as long as they don't have magic-blocking properties hindering them. Only if they want to, though. You have to believe in magic for it to work for you.

[isnotagiraffe.livejournal.com]

Name: Taiki

Age: 10

Experience: Erm... well I am a Kirin, and I can do divination and some other small magic... it might be different though...

Type: I would like to learn healing if that's alright, I can't learn anything that will hurt others, and I can't fight without my kings permission anyways...

Individual or Group: Any

[prayerless.livejournal.com]

Even if it is different, I'm sure I can work with it. Any spiritual powers are useful to learning magic the way I use it.
It's okay if you don't want to fight. I can teach you how to heal. :)
