There's no need to fear the past. The past is just a memory.

[ o-oh... eiden's ears go a little pink. the admiration is a little embarrassing, but suitably reassuring? he stands up a little straighter. ]

Yeah. That's me. The Grand Sorcerer, from humble beginnings. [ a beat before he points at the map with a finger: ] Each Territory has an altar. I've been traveling around and regulating them with my clan members.

[allmenare]

With magic? That must be quite a change, if you are from Earth originally.

[silicone]

Yeah. Sort of. There's where it gets complicated.

[ oh here's the feeling of defeat again. but he's smiling through it. like nothing's wrong. ]

I'm like a battery - I found out that on the Klein Continent, I have a lot of Essence, magical power, and... while I can't use it... instead, I give it to my clan members. I can use it to help heal them too, so I try my best to be helpful!

[allmenare]

Oh.

[Interestingly enough, there will be a flash of recognition there.]

Your magic and my ability are similar then. I can't use my ability on myself, but by giving it to those at the agency they have better control of their own abilities and can reach their max potential more easily.

That's quite an invaluable skill you have there.

[silicone]

[ eiden seems thoughtful about this for a moment, head tilted a little bit because the way that fukuzawa describes it, his ability does pull its weight. he can't help but get lost inside of his own head, but what he's said has at least abated this uncertainty for the moment. ]

Just have to learn to protect myself a little better, I think...

[allmenare]

Mmm, that's the hard part. It's why I carry my sword. I had to learn to fight against the abilities of others, while being unable to use one myself.

A sword might be a bit much for you, but something defensive might work.

[silicone]

Mmm, I've gotten good at summoning walls...

[ during basketball he was able to conjure up a nice one, but man he was wiped after that. ]

But that's as defensive as I got. I summoned a blade once... but it was mostly just to see if I could...

[allmenare]

Photokinesis, right? How about doing a quick flash of light to blind an attacker?

[silicone]

Oh! I like that... it'd give me time to run the fuck away!

[ he's a great runner. ]

But, I do wonder what happens if I don't really have any other choice but to fight.

[allmenare]

Blinding them is a good first step. After that, run for your warehouse. Only teammates can enter them, you should be safe there.

[silicone]

That's the plan, definitely... blinding them should give me a good head start.

[allmenare]

And when you spend your Thursday nights outside of your warehouse, don't wander too far away. The closer you are, the less distance you have to run.

[silicone]

I promise. I'll try to keep track of time so I don't get stuck anywhere weird. Same goes for you, okay?

[allmenare]

Of course. Unless I have other plans, I stay in the warehouse past 10 most nights anyway.

[He sleeps early and gets up early.]

[silicone]

[ he's living his best life unlike me. ]

Mmm, good to know. Sounds like you've got a strict schedule...

[allmenare]

Early to bed, early to rise. The director has to be the first one to arrive in the morning after all. And I have to beat Kunikida, who is rushing in the door at half past 6.

[silicone]

Kunikida? Who's that?

[ the people fukuzawa surrounds himself sound incredible... ]

[allmenare]

One of the others at the Agency. He's...very strict about working hours and following procedures.

[He would. Absolutely sleep in until 8 and start work later if not for Kunikida. Sometimes being the boss is suffering.]

[silicone]

Stricter than you, huh...?

[allmenare]

I had to change my ways for Ranpo, he's too chaotic for a strict schedule.

And then I had to change them back for Kunikida.

[silicone]

Sounds exhausted...

[allmenare]

It can be. But it's worth it.
