1st Illusion: Intro

[theothermist]

Who: Chrome Dokuro and anyone!
Where: Virgo Ward and Capricorn Ward.
Summary: Chrome has recently arrived, and after watching some dancing Frosts, it's time to buy some stuff and make sure her powers are still in shape.
Warnings: Illusions and moe.


[Virgo Ward]

[Watching dancing demons was entertaining, but Chrome did need to go out and buy supplies. She hadn't bothered to use the network for anything yet besides info gathering, since she had more important things to focus on. Like buying food.

Except Chrome, while being a bit braver in social situations than she was before, was not used to large, noisy crowds. So this? This is a bit overwhelming.]

Um... Excuse me-[And her attempt to talk to a vendor is quickly cut off by a loud shout from another vendor, and she's soon lost in the crowd again. But she's determined to keep trying, even though she looks pretty uncertain and she's holding her black bag to her chest like a shield.

... And her voice is a bit too quiet to be heard over all the noise whoops. So she might need a bit of help.]


[Capricorn Ward]

[While she knew her illusion skills were still in tact, given to how she wasn't suddenly coughing up blood from lack of organs, it doesn't hurt to practice and to make sure her illusions are still as strong as before. And luckily this empty plain is a perfect practice spot.

So, after getting her trident ready to act as a focus, she'll just close her eye and concentrate. After a moment, a flock of black birds appears in front of her and fly around the sky, looking and sounding very real. She soon appears her eye, and glances up at the birds, looking pleased with herself before they vanish.

And next she'll slam the bottom end of her trident to the ground, and a few pillars of fire shoot out from the ground, once again looking and feeling real, if the heat is any indication.

And Chrome just seems pleased with her results.]

[dame_tsuna]

[Tsuna noticed the difficulty she's having. Maybe he can help her out? At least he can try. He squeezes his way through the crowd until he finally stumbles out in front of her.]

Hi.... Need a hand?

[He'd probably seem more reliable if he wasn't immediately shoved a couple feet to one side by the press of the crowd.]

H-hey!

[Yeah, they don't even hear his brief protest.]

[theothermist]

[Chrome was about to reply before he gets shoved, and she quickly moves towards him with a worried look, making sure to side-step the crowd.] Are you all right, Boss?

Capriorn

[grancenturio]

[Nessiah's interested in that, and he comes up to face her.]

Magic practice?

[theothermist]

[Chrome blinks over at him, his appearance getting a brief curious look, before her expression returns to neutral as the pillars of fire simply fade away.]

... Yes. I wanted to make sure my illusions still worked as they should here.

[grancenturio]

As far as I am aware, most magic still functions as it has outside of Hinoto-Ri. I have not tested all of mine [that would involve dying and he's not risking the chance] but what I have tried works normally.

[theothermist]

... That's good to know. I am... reliant on my illusions. [Due to having illusions in place of real organs.]

... You're a magician?

[grancenturio]

Of some repute, though that is at home. It's always good to meet another practitioner of the craft.

[theothermist]

... Mmm... And is that how you're able to see? With magic?

[grancenturio]

Very astute of you.

[theothermist]

... You could tell what I was doing, though you may have been able to sense it. And you faced me directly when you spoke. [She pauses for a moment, fidgeting with her trident.]

... Though why do you cover your eyes?

how did I end up in that journal

[grancenturio]

That is because I have lost them, and I have little desire for people to stare at the scars.

miracles... wait wrong troll

[theothermist]

... Ah, that makes sense. [And Chrome has little desire to pry at things like that.]

[grancenturio]

And your eyepatch?

[theothermist]

... I lost my eye. So I use the eyepatch to cover up the scarring.

[grancenturio]

Then we're similar.

[theothermist]

... Mm, we are... Who're you? [Chrome kinda lacks the social experience to politely ask people for their names.]

[grancenturio]

Nessiah. And you?

[theothermist]

Chrome Dokuro... It's nice to meet you, Nessiah-san. [She gives him a small bow.]

[grancenturio]

Likewise. [He does't bow, but he does nod his head.]

[theothermist]

... Have you been here long, Nessiah-san?

[grancenturio]

Only for a few weeks.

[theothermist]

I see... Has anything odd happened here during that time? Besides the dancing demons from earlier today...

[grancenturio]

That was the strangest thing to have occurred.

[theothermist]

... Hmm. So then it's usually quiet here?

[grancenturio]

As much as a place like this where we have been brought so suddenly can be.
