8th Confession [Voice/Action]
[Morning ritual: sit up groggily, smoke a cigarette, kick stupid cat back out of bed after the umpteenth time. Fortunately, he'd managed to not want to pop Vash's head off his shoulders today, so he takes this as a good sign. And after he manages to regain his thoughts and get some breakfast in him, he cracks open his journal to see what's what.]
[[Filtered from Legato//100% Unhackable by Namisee Vash he said he was working on it |D ]]
So there's a shitload of new people... Hard to think I've been here this long, but you veterans probably snicker at a few measly months, right? [The sound of smoke leaving him, and it's obvious now he's been at the same usual bad habit.] Good to see these new guys got to miss the crappier part of this place, at least.
[And a charmingly added:]
It's not so bad when you get used to it, promise.
[Wolfwood really didn't find too much eventful this fine morning—it was a little chilly out, so he coiled himself in a black scarf, but... it was strangely relaxed today. It's something he feels ill-prepared for, even. Along his route of wandering, the preacher-man happened into the item shop on an interesting day; he'd spent so much time referring to the dangers of his world, he didn't consider that the neutral or even... nice things would snake their way into Luceti.
As such, he found a small weathered chest the that he could carry under one arm—a familiar one.
He drags it out, sits on a bench, and inspects it... and the first thing he happens across is a picture. He's not sure whether to burn it or laugh, so he just looks at it for a moment, noting the withered edges and shitty weathering. What a blast from the past. Like looking into the face of time.
He can be found here by whoever wants to be a creeper, or on his way back home with his cross on one shoulder and this small chest on the other. Clearly, he works out. But alas! Something slips out of the back of the chest without him noticing and floats quietly down to the ground.]

[Voice]
And I think I remember Meryl-chan trying one time. Not sure how she took to it.
Re: [Voice]
[He snickers, tapping his cigarette off into an ashtray.]
Well, she's gonna have to hate it and try anyway, like me. The last thing we need is a weakness we can fix. In a place like this, I've already seen it pays to have all your defenses honed.
Swimming included.
...Definitely included.
[Voice]
Heh, why do you think I bothered with the filial spirits? Wasn't for the shitty company.
... Have you gave trying magic any thought?
Re: [Voice]
[Voice]
I need to ask him how Tsinku's been treating him...
Re: [Voice]
Tsinku?
[Voice]
The lightning one.
Re: [Voice]
I guess his hair's pretty suited to it. How tough is it, getting to that spirit?
[Voice]
Two months, maybe three to master everything.
And that's if he agrees to teach you.
Re: [Voice]
[Voice]
Had to bribe the shithead into teaching Ginko.
Re: [Voice]
Fire seems like it'd be pretty handy, though. How the hell'd you bribe something like that, anyway?
[Voice]
It helps that he and I have an understanding... And sometimes you gotta bribe hard. [And to prove his point, the chef rolls up the sleeve of his right arm, presenting it to the journal.
There's a lovely burn on the forearm - healed over, but still faintly visible now that he's pointed it out]
Re: [Voice]
The rough kind of bastard, is he? Lucky me, I've dealt with plenty of those types. Maybe I'll give it a shot; worst that can happen is me getting burned to a crisp, right?
Though I could always start out with the least feisty ones, but I don't like stretching out time for too long, with what goes on around here.
[Voice]
Prove you're worth his time and he'll teach you a nice set of tricks.
Re: [Voice]
[He's pretty positive you already know this main concern.]
How many of the spirits have you figured out, at this point?
[Voice]
All except one - though I hear it's pretty useful. I'll have to track it down sometime.
So if you need a rundown on them all...
Re: [Voice]
[Because this elements motif isn't too difficult to figure out...]
[Voice] /headcanons this up
[then he repeats them, again - this time by their names]
Eferin, Tsinku, Kipinn, Sona, Faeren, Hyt, and Nala.
I suggest you get friendly with Nala-chan. She's the easiest spirit to hear, and nothing helps like being able to bandage up a wounded friend when a doctor's not around.
Kipinn's pretty easy too, but you'll have to stay around the mountains to hear him well.
Sona-chan... she's not as picky as that bastard Eferin, but she might have something to say if you learn how to control fire and water at the same time. Depends.
Faeren-chan's pretty shy. You've gotta listen closely to hear her, but she warms up quickly. And she's everywhere, being the earth spirit.
I sorta told you about Tsinku. He's an excitable shithead, likes to play around, meaning you better be good at dodging if he starts speaking with you. You can find him in the plains.
Hyt's the one I haven't talked to before, but he's supposedly the hardest Filial spirit to contact. It takes a month or so before he speaks up, even in direct sunlight.
Re: [Voice]
What kind of abilities do you even get from Hyt, if he's so damn hard to find? Power t'blind the hell out of people?
[Voice]
Something like that.
Sounds pretty useful for a quick escape.
Re: [Voice] stupid blank spaces ;A;
While I'm not a fan of running away, it's the old motto; live another day. I'll definitely look into Hyt after I figure out how to handle the aggressive ones.
[Voice] 8| You gotta show 'em who's boss!
You can always learn from more than one at a time, too.
Re: [Voice] But I'm so shyyyyy /)_(\
