Grabbing something to eat (Onira)

[Jason]

OOC: Continued from our training thread. If anyone wants to join fell welcome to do so just let Onira post first.


Jason and Onira headed to one of the many areas where the students of the academy could find something to eat. Jason made sure he knew where these were on his first day to make sure he could get something to eat quickly if he got hungery. The two of them had traded basic chit-chat as they walked from the training grounds. Jason found Onira interesting. Just from what he had seen the guy seemed compatent but accident prone.
"So Onira. What branches of magic do you use? I saw what was obviously some form of Alchemy. But the blood thing you used when I rocketed us up was something new to me." he said as they walked.

[Onira]

(OOC: Just so you know for future refrence, something's screwed with my PMs at the moment and i can't send 'em so ya! Also, sorry for the wait. Came home yesterday.)

Onira and Jason had been talking for a fair bit of time, Onira in the back of his mind remembering he had never been to the cafeteria before and had no clue where it was. Of course, there were frequently placed maps around the school, Onira glancing at them every time he could. And, after passing three, he had collected enough information to figure out the basics of the journey. One always had to be thankful for the map!

Soon enough, the conversation turned to magic. Or, more precisely, Onira's magic. It seemed that Jason had already picked up on his alchemy skills from just seeing the helmet transmutation, but as it was, he was a bit confused on the blood gauntlets. And fair enough. It was, after all, a bit complicated even for alchemy.

"Well, it's pretty basic, actually. You probably already know about platelets in the blood, which clot the blood if you get cut or something and stop blood from exiting the wound. by using small transmutation circles burned on to the bones of my forearms I can convert other cells in my blood into the platelets, creating enough of them to form pretty much a giant scab, which I further move using more alchemy. Once again adding alchemy to the mix, I can hyper-densify the scab to the point where it becomes incredibly strong. I'm not all that sure if that's how it goes to most people who use the spell, but sometimes you just have to change things to fit your needs!"

Onira had lost a bit of the sugar in his blood from the walk, which kept him from being quite as clumsy or energetic, but he still had quite enough to keep going on at a fairly normal pace, if not more than so.

"Anyways, what about you? Magic-wise, I've only seen that big green shot thing, as well as that super jump. Any specific style you use or just kind of bits and pieces?"

[Jason]

Jason listened with rapt attention. He found it fairly simple in thory when explained though he knew that the ability was certainly an impressive one. he wondered if it hurt to use that ability. If it did he was pretty sure Onira was tolerant to it by this point if he could use it the way he did a while ago.

"Well both of those abilities actually come from the same style. I'm an energy manipulator. I can focus my magical energies into differnet ghings. One is that beam. i can make it weak enough to cause no dmage or i can burn people trribly with it. The jump you tagged along with works in a similar fashion to my beam attack. i exert the force from the soles of my feet. I also can creat a shield and channle my energies through items I hold without dmageing it. Here's an example." he said as a brilliantly bright blae of energy formed at the end of his staff. He held it like that for a few seconds then let it dissapate.
"I'm looking forward to trying new techniques before long." he said as they came into one opf the foodcourts.
"Well I'm off to grab some chinese food. If you want something different meet me at one of the tables." He said then headed over to get his food.

OOC: Don't worry about the response time. I get times whre I sit and wait for a while but if it takes too long I just work on a story I am writing.

[Onira]

(OOC: Ooo... i look foreward to reading it, provided I get the chance.)

Onira listened quite attentively to what Jason said, the entire style itself unfolding quickly. The explanation he gave made sense to what he had done, but got Onira thinking.

If one has the ability to release the amount of energy that would send them three stories in the air, one must also have to reinforce the focused area. But then again, considering the human body, one would also have to reinforce the entire leg to prevent strain. Or maybe it's an entirely different system. Maybe instead of reinforcment, One would counter the force with an exact opposite. A matter to anti-matter kind of thing, where they would cancel each other out. Of course, he couldn't use that opposing energy on the released energy itself, for he would go no where, so then he'd instead have to release an opposing mechanical-gravitational energy around the parts that would take strain, thus preventing any G-forces. But still, the style is pretty simplistic, so maybe reinforcements would be mroe likely.

As Onira kept thinking, he and Jason seperated, lucky for the teen himself hearing that they would meet back up at a table. The alchemist didn't have to think twice. Immediately he shot towards the pizza stand, grabbing two slices of pepperoni pizza. He put them on a paper plate, and then went to a table, where he figured Jason would find him. Or not. Either way, he had PIZZA!

[Jason]

"Ah pizza. A good choice as well." Said Jason sitting down across from Onira putting his food down and resting his staff against another part of the table. He took a few bites and looked up.
"So how long have you been here? I just arived sometime this week myself." he said. he was a bit confused as Onira seemed pretty comfortable with the place but seemed to have been a bit lost when they headed to the food court.

OOC: Oh you will. Everyone here will really. I'm even putting up the prelude tonight.

[Onira]

Onira was stuffing himself as Jason talked, himself stopping and looking up with a bit of tomato sauce around his lips when Jason asked how long he had been at the academy. Onira figured Jason hadn't been there for long, more brought along by instinct than anything else. One figured it was natural to be curious of one's time at the academy. After all, it wasn't like there was anything stamped on to their head that said exactly how long they had been there. Well, fair enough.

"I've been at the academy itself for about a year, but I've lived in Babylos for pretty much all my life. Mostly the whole experience has been learning alchemy, so I'm not all that sure on what to think of the Earth, but I have been there a few times. What about you? What's your experience with Arcane so far?"

When he was done, Onira went right back to gorging himself, trying to get his blood sugar level back up. For some reason, he just felt a lot better having an extreme blood sugar level. Maybe he was addicted... naaw!

[Jason]

"So you are actually familar with this place. Thats kinda cool. I'm more or less the opposite. I grew up in Oregon in America. I didn't even really know magic was eal until about a week ago. But since I've been here it's been pretty cool. I've already met a few people here and there. Most of them not even human. So far I'm pretty impressed with the place." he said. Jason's limited experiance with anything to do with magic could at times make him seem much younger than he actually was due to the open wonderment he felt here.

[Onira]

Onira nodded, somewhat less interested than he was only a moment ago. He instead continued to eat his food, paying enough attention to get the idea. He didn't really know what an Oregon was, but figured it was some place in "America", which one Onira was unsure of. For knowledge's sake, he'd give the question a shot.

"Which America do you mean? Is it South or North?"

Onira finished off his last slice of pizza with a satisfied crunch on the crust, quickly chewing it an swallowing. He sagged back in his chair, an enjoyed look on his face and a hand resting on his stomach.

"That was good! But I'm kinda thirsty, but the drinks are so far away. Maybe I'll just relax for a minute..."

[Jason]

"North America. Nothing exotic but it's a nice enough place for the most part. At least whre I lived it was." he said then gave a nod in agreement to the drinks.
"Yeak I figured they would have drinks in this area as it had food. I guess I was wrong. Well Onira. I have a few things to take care of. It's been a pleasure meeting you. Hopefully we'll run across each other again sooner or later." He said standing up and giving a small wave and a grin as he headed off to go to one of his classes. meeting Onira had been pleasent enough. But he did have to make sure that he focused on his studies.
