Dream 01 ❀ "Wishing you were somehow here again"

[purethingsonly]

Effects: A sense of longing and hopelessness that turns to a bit of anxiousness and excitement with a few moments of an unsure feeling.

[There's an odd scent in the air. Burning incense. Not a normal scent to burn either. What is it? You might not want to know. But there is a girl lighting candles in a dim little basement of a room with a hopeful smile on her fact that seems to like it. There are a number of materials scattered about.

Preparations for a summoning ritual.

There is something utterly dark and magical about the items and the preparations in general.]

I want to see him again...

[She doesn't say who at first, but he's foremost in her thoughts.]

Vincent...

[The sound of her voice is a bit unsure, and still it is longing.]

I have so many questions I want to ask you...

[And she goes back to her ritual, thinking to herself. It's not until the ritual is just about complete that she wakes up with a start.]

Your name?

[Ada listens and nods as she takes it all in, a few words at a time. But even if she doesn't understand it entirely, just hearing about it is interesting to her.]

That sounds amazing. So... anyone there can use magic?

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

My name is Ada Vessalius. But just Ada is fine.

Well Somarium is a large place, I'm sure there's somewhere... or... if not... perhaps even with a lock.

Back home someone might be more inclined to find a locked room like that suspicious, but here, if it was in the right place, I'm sure no one would think anything of it. And if it was secluded and private then...

[I'm sure you can imagine. Anything could happen. And even if discovered... they couldn't be punished like they could have been back home.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

I'd like to think so anyway. [Pauses.] Though I've never really gotten the chance to ask him how he feels about it. [She hadn't thought about it that much before.]

That's normally what happens when you're born into nobility. But I'm not sad. Even though there are those expectations, I've still been able to do some things.

[When no one was looking of course...]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Mm. [She nods.] I haven't tried many things, but I imagine a place like this is full of magic.

[knightofchanges]

He probably doesn't mind it, but it would be an interesting question to ask.

[cursebound]

Magic? More like curses.

[Though he only says that because of all the odd things that happen in Somarium.]

I've never heard about someone appearing just because someone tried to summon them here.

[disruptstatice]

...

That doesn't sound too bad.

[Nice and quiet.]

Well, I guess anyone can use the most simplest forms, like turning on the lights. But the more complicated ones require you to attend the Academy and have a high aptitude rating. [She smiles self-deprecatingly.] The only reason I managed to get enrolled was because my aptitude was off the charts.

[Hm doesn't she know it--kind of.]

I'm glad you're not sad. Being upset over things like that makes you miss out on a lot, doesn't it?

[lovesviolence]

[ A nod. ]

It is nice to meet you as well. Good luck, Ada.

You were able to go to a school like that though... I'm kind of envious.

[Ada giggles. On the other hand, she doesn't believe there's any reason Noel shouldn't have been able to. After all, she thinks her friend is very strong.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'll do my best.

[The well wishes gives her a bit more confidence as well.

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Right?!

[He agrees with her. She's so happy. Then maybe it isn't just a silly longing, maybe she could, here.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

I think it would. I don't think it's worth it. I'm sure there are things people can't help feeling that way about but... still, I think trying to find things to be happy about is still better.

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

But there's good magic too. It's not all bad... it just depends on the person who uses it.

[That's what she figured, but she wants to try and remain positive all the same.]

I see... That makes sense. Still, I don't think it would hurt to try.

[disruptstatice]

Have you been doing it long?

[cursebound]

[Fine, he'll brush that aside but he still can't help but think:]

Never took you for the type...

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

I've been studying it ever since the day my brother disappeared...

[So for ten years really. That seems like a long time when you think about it.]

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Ah... I really don't seem it, do I...?

[She laughs a little, sheepishly, because she knows it's true.]

[disruptstatice]

So you know quite a lot about it, I'm guessing.

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

I've been studying it for a long time...

[disruptstatice]

Mm.

[Pause. Hmmm... He wonders...]
