I am interested in learning more about these Filial spirits. How do they communicate? Is there a danger in adding their magic to our own?

[There has to be, as Saleh already knows that using too much magic can be dangerous.]

[Now the sage is taking the time to explore the forest, mapping the locations of the New Feather stations for future reference.]

Interesting.



I am Saleh. And you are?

Sanji.

I take it you're new here.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Yes...

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

I'd say welcome to the shithole, but you're already learning how ... welcoming it can be.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

...Thank you.

[a snort]

If offends your delicate senses, I won't waste anymore of your time.

[A pause. He is not liking his thoughts being read.]

My apologies, Sir Sanji.

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

... Sir?

No no, it's just Sanji.

[a pause]

And why are you apologizing? If you don't like something, that's how shit works. [doesn't mean he's gonna change his tune anytime soon]

[Voice]

[He's just being polite is all.]

...My thoughts were not meant to be heard.

[At least not yet. He probably would have called you on it sooner or later.]

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Then you might wanna go hide somewhere for the week. Or get used to it. [thinks]

I'm not sure if this experiment is journal-based or not, yet.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

[Ooh, hiding. He's good at that.]

Do you mean the display of our thoughts is temporary?

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Why else do you think half of us are taking this calmly? [a wry grin]

A week, tops. Unless they decide to mess with us.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Mhm.

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[a glance]

... Has anyone shown you the guides yet? [He must be damn new if he hasn't gotten the talk yet.]

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[But these things are a lot harder to grasp when you come from his time period.]

[Voice]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Sanji's gonna chalk it up to stupidity then - or denial]

Huh. Alright.

Good luck with the spirits, then.

[Voice]

[mountain-sage.livejournal.com]

...Thank you.
