[she's been getting pretty good at this typing thing, hence why her post today is in text, rather than anything else. It's good practice! Also she can't stop grinning so it's probably for the best considering what she's asking for today]

I require volunteers for something of an experiment. I am looking for those able to cast magic, and those willing to have magic cast upon them. I suppose one could say this is in the name of science, yes? And should one volunteer, all I require is an afternoon of your time.

There is no risk of harm or damage, of course. Except perhaps to one's dignity.

[ Slow, but it's the easiest way not to incriminate herself to the mass public. Even if her name is visible...at least she isn't? Also wow after learning about the Chimera Project this makes her nervous. ]

What is the purpose of the experiment?

[hyanaimne]

Have you heard of the U.E. soldiers everyone has been concerned about? The new ones.

I have a theory that their powers may be magic-based. But in order to test that, I must see if one's magic can dispel another's spell.

[oh, he recognizes her name from the last time she contacted him]

such a reassuring thing to hear.

[Tempest also remembers him from their brief discussion]

Should I have worded it differently?

[Spelling is a lot of hard work for her so voice will do for the moment.]

I can use magic. What do you need?

voice;

[hyanaimne]

[spelling is difficult especially in a language you don't really spell in often. So she switches over to voice]

Are you able to cast binding spells and others along those lines? I wish to test my dispel magic.

I suppose dignity isn't a primary concern at my age. I can assist.

[It's not like he doesn't use himself for his own experiments anyway.]

text

[hyanaimne]

You do not seem the type, no. Thank you for your assistance. I was hoping that you would volunteer.

Tell me more?

[hyanaimne]

The U.E. soldiers that have powers - I think some may be magic. So I want to see how well dispel magic works on others' magic. Different worlds, etc.

Which is why I am running an experiment.

[What is dignity can I eat it. But she did a huge favor for him before, so he's more than willing to repay it now if he can.]

You're sure there's no risk of harm?

[hyanaimne]

I give you my word. No harm will come to anyone.

I'm not the most powerful of spellcasters, but I can assist.

[she'll switch to video for him]

You've my thanks.

[highhealplz]

Casting magic on people is my job—and I'm pretty used to the reverse, too. How can I help?

text

[hyanaimne]

A healer, then?

Are you capable of binding or protection spells?

text.

[nemonics]

I can't use magic, but I'd let you cast it on me, if you tell me what you plan to do before you do it. Anything for progress, right?

text.

[hyanaimne]

Certainly. I will not cast anything on anyone if they do not wish it.

[vocalizer]

That still doesn't sound encouraging.

[hyanaimne]

If I give you my word that no harm will be done to anyone, does that help?

[overclocking]

[ Dignity matters too, and he hits video specifically for the purpose of conveying the necessary faces. ]

... What are you up to, Tempest?

[hyanaimne]

[she's staying with the texting for now]

You make it sound as though I am up to something devious.

text

[duplicitoussight]

You aren't going to turn anyone into a newt, are you?

[hyanaimne]

[Kano pls]

No, but I am tempted to learn how now, since I keep getting asked if I can do it.

[The reply comes a couple of days after the post went up, since Steph only saw it while she was looking back through the network after returning from her mission.

But:]

if you still need volunteers to have magic cast on them, i'm happy to help

text

[hyanaimne]

I will not turn down volunteers, if you are still interested.

[awarlock]

["In the name of science" -- that almost never ends well. He sounds as wry as he feels when he answers.]

...What would you need from these volunteers?

text;

[hyanaimne]

For those with magic, the ability to cast spells that will do no harm. For those volunteering for the rest, to simply stand there while the aforementioned magic is cast upon them and then removed.

text

[hotdate]

Sure, why not. I have magic cast on me all the time back home. And my dignity is pretty hard to damage.

text

[hyanaimne]

That sounds like a challenge.

[she's kidding. Really]

I would appreciate your help.

[curiousredsoul]

[Have one quite interested and potentially familiar dragon.]

I would be quite happy to assist in the matter, both in the casting and being cast upon.

I can also offer my skills of observation as one to observe the interactions of magic in their essence should that be of assistance.

Video

[hyanaimne]

[a familiar dragon that Tempest will happily switch to video for]

I would love to have your assistance, Celena. Thank you, truly.

Video

[dragonlordbight]

I would be willing assist in your experiment.

What manner of spells would you be looking to have utilized?

text

[hyanaimne]

Thank you, sir.

Protection and binding spells. At least for now. If others have different spells they can use that will not bring harm to anyone, then they are welcome to.
