[rustyhonesty]

I need to confirm something. There isn't a weird disease going on that makes our powers go haywire, right? Since that happened in the previous world I was in. Sort of like a magical flu?

[How very specific of a question this is. Strangely specific.]

If not I guess I just learned how to breathe fire. I've been trying to do that for a while, but I didn't expect it to happen all of a sudden. Sometimes learning these powers is really weird.

[He did sneeze, but that was mostly because a fallen leaf tickled his nose. He doesn't really feel like he's catching a flu, but... who knows.

There's evidence of a random wooden bridge in Sunwaning having been on fire, smoke still rising from the railings and very confused natives over the now burned up parts of the bridge.]


Anyway, does anyone know how to repair things yet or should I just start doing this manually...

That's a part of the learning curve unfortunately. I definitely had to replace a couple curtains.

Repairing things is... a winter thing, right? Do you know any winters?

[rustyhonesty]

It's just weird since I'm usually very much in control of my fire powers.

[Then a sneeze jeopardizes everything.]

A few. I guess I could call any of them and see if they've picked up the skill. Or I could just do the repairs myself as a punishment.

[abnormalizes]

I really don't think you have to punish yourself for an accident when someone else could fix it with little to no effort on their part.

[rustyhonesty]

Even if it would make feel better about it?

[abnormalizes]

If it would make you feel better about it, you can do whatever. You just don't have to is what I'm saying.

[rustyhonesty]

I know. I just feel bad.

[He turns his head to breathe his own green fire. Just to check.]

Mine seems no more out of control than before.

I would give you tips on how to keep it under control, but I have yet to figure it out in my nearly two centuries of life...

Just get used to destroying things, I guess. Keep backups.

[rustyhonesty]

The thing is, I haven't had problems before this. I've been very in control of my seasonal fire powers until this very moment.

[Which was a nice change of pace from Empatheias where stubbing your toe meant likely setting something on fire.]

And I'd rather keep it that way.

[tsunotaro]

...

Well there's no need to brag.

[POUTS. Humans and their ability to control their emotions and stuff!]

Maybe you're just not as good at controlling your breath.

[rustyhonesty]

I didn't really meant to brag... sorry.

[He's now only realizing he kinda did, unintentionally. The guy did say he hadn't figured it out.]

Controlling my breath? I hadn't really thought about that.

It looks like you're doing wonderfully~

[He caused an arson! She's so proud- and maybe teasing him just a little bit.]

[rustyhonesty]

[Why does she always appear when he's making mistakes with his magic.]

If I'd want to take a page out of your book, sure.

[colchismagecraft]

[Because she is the worst and likes teasing people?]

You say that as if it would be a bad thing.

[rustyhonesty]

Can you really imagine me becoming a spooky villain arsonist?

[colchismagecraft]

Well you are lacking a sutible dark cloak... you'll have to fix that first.

[Definitely teasing him.]

[knowsvinewhip]

Oh dear...

Ah I admit, I'm new here, but so far I have not heard of any sort of flu. Are you otherwise unharmed?

[rustyhonesty]

There's probably no flu going on, luckily. At least it doesn't seem like losing control over powers is common right now.

Ah, yeah. No one was hurt.

[knowsvinewhip]

As relieving as that is to hear, I imagine it must make your situation a bit more distressing?

Ah, good. I would have offered assistance if there were injuries.

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah, kind of. I don't really enjoy having an ability I don't have sure control of.

[knowsvinewhip]

I apologize if this is a foolish question. But, is there nothing in this world to assist with controlling abilities like this?

At least until one learns how to do so on their own?

[Hijikata is going through it right now, just barely having followed up on all the loose ends left in the wake of the disaster he kicked off, and he's still exhausted and unable to sort out all the thoughts in his head... but he can't miss this opportunity to tease Jean for a change! Normally Jean always sasses him, now he's the one who had an avoidable malheur!]

Maybe it's not the fire breathing ability. Maybe it's the curse of the dragon. It's finally catching up with you.

[You know, the dragon from Avalon. (Jean may or may not notice that Hijikata is in an unusual location, sitting by a sunlit window in a house with sand-coloured walls.)]

[rustyhonesty]

[Oh how the tables have turned...]

There's no curse. I may have gotten hit by it but I haven't been cursed. I would have been warned about that!

[Probably.

He does notice the slightly odd change of scenery but doesn't comment on it. Not yet, at least.]

[mayoninofukucho]

Don't be too sure! The fae didn't tell us everything all the time, remember?

[He won't take the joke too far, though. He knows all too well how Jean sustained his werewolf curse, and that was absolutely no fun.]

[rustyhonesty]

Uh huh. Well if I turn into a dragon I'm going to scorch your ass first for jinxing it.

[mayoninofukucho]

[He snorts.]

I'll just turn your fire harmless!

[Bantering with Jean feels good... Hijikata hopes that his anniversary celebrations with Mikasa kept him off the network and therefore unaware of his shitshow, and so far it seems that way.]

What did you burn, anyway?
