[His first post is voice.]

Say, to all you magic-users! I'm curious. How did you learn your art? I suppose this applies to anyone with an "unnatural" ability as well.

[The second is a text post under his name, posted an hour after the above.]

I have a puzzle for you, Exsilium. But that's not fun enough, is it? Let's make it a game! I'll pay the first three people who solve it 10✥... no, up to 50✥! The first one gets a special prize! Isn't that exciting? (⌒▽⌒)☆

[Attached to this post is this diagram.]

Now, here is the situation! There are three houses. Each house needs electricity, gas, and water. The goal is to connect the houses to their utilities by drawing lines. It's easy, right? Very easy!

But there's a catch! None of the lines can intersect. But even with the handicap, it's a simple puzzle. I'm sure you can all crack it in no time!

Respond with your answers. Be sure to lock them, so there won't be any cheating~ 1✥ will buy you a hint.

I look forward to rewarding the winner!!

Yup, yup. That's a good trade. I'll be sure to let her know~ Do you have any types you like?

Nothing in particular, no. I'm not picky at all.

Do you promise not to try it for yourself? [Still using the Serious Business^TM Voice here.] It's not dangerous to know a little, but no one knows just how many types of magic there are here. How many types of power.

[Frankly, he has his hands full just dealing with his own magic, not to mention whatever the Initiative had grafted on. He hadn't yet asked about Kano's Initiative-given weapon, had he?]

... Ahh, I thought the puzzle seemed a little too vague. You must be getting all kinds of interesting answers.

Because you said so doesn't count!

Thii2 ii2 a game?

IIn that ca2e [and here the Helmsman rattles off a very clever, very complex solution to the problem, which he understands because he's basically a computer but that his mun is totally clueless about. Let's just assume it makes total sense.]

[You would use it to pull things out of pant-- ah wait that was the wrong canon.]

So far as I know. I wasn't interested in it much. Some looked for immortality too, apparently.

Give me a reason why it doesn't ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ

[duplicitoussight]

Uwah, that's the best solution I've heard yet!!!

Sorry, sorry!
I don't have a prize for you.
But you do get stars for an outstanding response! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

[Whoa Uncle, he is getting really huge Parent Talk vibes from this conversation. Even so, he's still a little curious as to how many different powers there are around Exsilium... and how they could be used. Just in case, right?

Better to say yes. Makes things less complicated. And he wouldn't be trying it for himself, really. It's more for Kido... so his answer's not really a lie.]

Yeah, yeah. Don't worry about it! I'll stick to books and lectures.

[duplicitoussight]

[Aaaand he continues on like that part's all done and taken care of nope no need to talk about it ever again.]

Ah, that was the point of it. Everything's supposed to be up to the contestants~ I'm surprised, to tell the truth. I didn't expect them to catch on so quickly!

[duplicitoussight]

That makes it easy. Good, good... then we'll see you Friday, Kaede! Make sure the meal's extra-delicious~

[concealingeyes]

[His tangents really are out of nowhere but they tend to be going somewhere related.]

You mean music from our time...?

A fair point. It's probably better if it remains a secret.

Common in the families that they run in.

[perdre]

It's different from the one I played, then.

[maiinframe]

Thank you

A valid cause! I need a valid cause!

[duplicitoussight]

It is, though?!
Since I made the puzzle, I can set the rules.
That's how it works.

[duplicitoussight]

Exactly! I spent some time digging through them, finding all sorts of old songs~ You should come check it out too.

[That's not fair at all Jade...]

Hey, hey, I didn't refuse.
I'm willing to listen~

[concealingeyes]

Sure. Why don't we go later?

[Saying later reminds her of something and she groans, suddenly putting her face flat on the bed. Her voice is muffled now.]

This place makes me feel so lazy. What the hell is with that?

[duplicitoussight]

[He rests his chin on his hand, leaning over. He shares some of her frustration--back home they had a clear goal they could work towards. Here... not so much.]

Is Leader bored of the future already?

[concealingeyes]

The future sucks.

[She shifts her head slightly to look at him but her hair covers most of her face anyway.]

...And I don't like not being in charge...

[duplicitoussight]

How harsh, how harsh. But that's something that can't be helped, you know. [Not very reassuring, but it's the truth. They're just kids with a gang in Exsilium.]

Their mission is something we aren't knowledgeable about.
