001 ▹ video

[A curious young woman appears on the video as she stares at the tablet in her hands, somewhat interested in the new and different and technology and all--when she remembers that oh right, she'd planned on talking to people. Way to make an impression of being focused and prepared...

She clears her throat.]
Er, hi there. My name's Shirley, and... These people--y'know, the Initiative and all--they're really not picky when it comes to people who end up here and all, huh? So I just wanted to clarify something: not everything has to be about fighting, right? I can't say I'm good with anything like diplomacy either, but it's a better start than something like shooting someone...

Sorry if it's a simple question. I just wanted to be absolutely sure; thank you for your time in advance.

... actually, there's just one more thing. [A pause, because this is a lot more awkward of a topic to bring up. Still, she can't help but be curious given her own circumstances.] This is probably gong to seem silly, but this isn't actually some kind of weirdly militaristic afterlife, is it?

Everyone here's from a different world.

... If I might ask, what are you good at?
have_hat_will_travel: (Cute!)

[personal profile] have_hat_will_travel 2012-12-26 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Eh. I'm used to it, since my world has many different planes - think different dimensions that kind of exist adjacent to each other, only... Not quite.

Swimming, huh? Pretty intense activity - you'd need to be pretty strong to do well with it. That could be good for a lot of things.
have_hat_will_travel: (Huhwhat?)

[personal profile] have_hat_will_travel 2012-12-27 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Kinda, yeah.

And applying your fitness was part of it. But you might be better suited to another role, too.

Have you ever seen someone use bardic performance as a form of magic?

(OOC: Not relevant here, but does Shirley remember Geass? XD)

Ah, a low-magic world then.

Lemme put it this way: In other worlds, magic exists. Further, magic exists here, at least for those who knew it back home. However it exists, it can work with conflicting forms of magic and resolve them.

I'm willing to bet you could learn my magic pretty easily.

There's a few kinds of magic where I'm from.

There's learning magic - also known as Wizardry... But I have no clue how you'd start there without a school.

Then there's intuitive magic. Picking up, bit by bit, on how to prod reality to, if not your every whim, at least a few of them. Less powerful, perhaps, but there's still plenty you can do with it.

Best part is, anyone able to pick up an instrument, speak with confidence, or even dance can learn all of it.

Well, that depends on the sort of magic.

I mean, you do have to take the time to learn it... Barring doing something crazy, at least.

... That'll be nice.

... Of course, I may have to find the books first.

[personal profile] have_hat_will_travel 2013-01-27 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the theory I can teach from memory - that'd be enough to get started, once we found the performance type that best suits you.

Though this makes me wonder if I could find those books someplace...
have_hat_will_travel: (Quiet)

[personal profile] have_hat_will_travel 2013-01-27 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Then let's figure out a time to meet and start...
have_hat_will_travel: (Curious)

Date picked for OOC convenience XD

[personal profile] have_hat_will_travel 2013-01-28 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Hrm... I'm going to need a while to set up a few things if I'm going to try and teach someone, now I think it.

How about the 2nd of February? We can meet in front of the apartments. Look for my hat.

Re: okay! /o/

[personal profile] have_hat_will_travel 2013-01-28 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I've got planning and setup to do.

... Including figuring out how to build a montage...
