2nd Card {Voice}

[keystaff]

Um. So. I'm glad we figured helping out with the Wizard and all. I just wanted to let everyone know. I have figured a couple of new cards. Gale and Record. I guess with the storms, the winds earlier. And the focus of positive memories with the wizard. It was reminding me of them. I'm not sure if these and Flight, I might be able to use to help out more?

[She pauses here, considering for a moment, as Kero in the background reminds her to be careful. Not that everyone can see, but she gives a nod in response, softly saying that she would.]

If anyone wants, I can show you. I just figure. It's best to let everyone know? I'm still adjusting to being more open about this, but. It seems a lot of people here are used to this. Having magic or some sort of powers. So. It doesn't seem like such a big deal? The same with Kero-chan, I guess. That people know about him now. That's okay. Just -- again, taking some getting used to is all. I'm so used to hiding my magic, having him pretend to be a stuffed toy. Now he doesn't have to. Or, at least. He doesn't have to worry if he says something. Or if he goes around as his True Form. It's like a lion but with wings.

[Kero's voice can be heard piping up 'and I breathe fire and fly. And talk, of course.'

Sakura closes the journal as she turns back to him again.]

I can understand if you want to use your magic. I'm a magus and we're supposed to hide our magecraft too.

I stopped hiding it as much because you're right a lot of us have powers here.

[keystaff]

You too? It isn't just me then. I guess that's something, to not be alone with that. It's taking a bit to get used to. But. I think it's also kind of nice? To not worry so much about hiding it?

[projections]

I gusss you're right.

I'm not even a good magus but I still can't use magecraft so openly back home because it'll draw too much attention.

Is there some reason why you have to hide yours?

[keystaff]

Magic isn't too common back home is all. So. It seemed better to keep quiet about it. A few of my friends know and such, but. Generally I've tried to keep it a secret back home. I don't want to worry everyone or anything either. What sort of magic do you do? Mine is more, I guess with my dreams. Sometimes I can see things that haven't happened yet. I can sense Clow-san's magic. And I use these cards he made. Magic cards. Or, I guess. My magic I should say, now. I'm powerful enough that my desires and wishes in the moment can create new ones.

[projections]

Yeah, it sounds like you have a lot going on with your magic.

I'm so bad at magecraft that I can only really use one spell. It's called projection magecraft.

If I had to explain it simply it's the ability to put shape to your mind. I can create objects and sometimes weapons with it.

[keystaff]

Projections? But that sounds useful though! More versatile than my cards. Though I suppose my cards are in theory versatile as well if I can make my own now. I'm still figuring how it works exactly.

[projections]

It's only useful if I apply it properly in battle.

Sometimes it just doesn't turn out right or I end up screwing it up. You should have more confidence in yourself because you can make your own magic.

[stillarhino]

yo you was able to get a couple more of your cards? hell yeah
good to hear something good came outta everything flying around like crazy the last coupla weeks

[keystaff]

yup! I guess because the weather reminded me of when I got Windy and made Gale. And thinking of happy memories with the wizard and all.

It was a little. It was kind of a lot though. Definitely weird. And that's something given some of my dreams. Sometimes I dream of stuff that hasn't happened yet.

[stillarhino]

naw you right about it being a lot
i hadta chase down someones door that got ripped out because of the wind yo

...wait u get dreams about stuff that aint happened
izzat normal for ya?

[keystaff]

A door? I guess there was a lot of damage with all that weather.

Kind of normal? I only really started making note of it a few years back. After finding Clow-san's book. I dreamed about meeting Syaoran-kun before I saw him at school, for example.

[stillarhino]

me and some other guy got it back and returned it to the old guy who owned it
woulda sucked not to have a door with all the wind blowing around

is syaoran a friend of yours or something?

[He knows a little bit about being able to see things about the future, or possible futures, from Rindo and Neku's experiences. He never asked much about it nor has he experienced it himself so he figures to keep the conversation light instead.]

[keystaff]

I'm just glad you were able to help.

Syaoran-kun is. We're. We're together.

[Look it isn't new exactly given it has been a couple of years since they confessed how they felt. But that was right before he left for Hong Kong. And he only more recently returned to Tomoeda that makes it kinda more. Real? More physical? Or something like that. Plus they are still not that old so the most they have done is hug and hold hands, yet.]

[whirlwindthrust]

Is magic not all that common where you are from?

[keystaff]

Not really that common, no. Most just figure magic is in stories, fairytales or movies or books. Or video games. Not something real. And I don't want to worry my family if they were to find out the truth exactly.

[whirlwindthrust]

They are supposed to worry about you. Keeping such a secret from them is more detrimental than it is sparing them.

[keystaff]

I know they are supposed to worry. I just don't want to add to that.

If I can help it. I mean, I guess they kind of know, a little at least.

[whirlwindthrust]

Be warned. When you believe that you are not adding to it, you truly are. They worry regardless, only they do not know why they are worried in the first place.

The secretive behavior and the burden of deception are easy enough to spot.

[keystaff]

Hm. I mean. I guess they probably might know something is up again? Just not necessarily exactly what it going on? I just know. onii-chan has his work and university. And dad is busy with work.

[letmewin]

Howdy, Sakura!

I've never heard of someone using cards as a way to use magic before.

[keystaff]

I can make them from my desires, what I wish for? I wasn't even intentionally doing it, not even realizing it when it started happening. There's that and I can sort of sense magic? At least. Clow-san's magic, back home. And I can sometimes see things that haven't happened yet, in dreams.

What sort of magic do you know of?

[letmewin]

From your desires...? That sounds like an amazing power. That kind of magic... has to be especially powerful.

All monsters at home can use magic. Mom and Dad were really skilled with using fire for all sorts of things -- sometimes, they'd light a fire, and it'd be impossible for someone to burn themselves with it.

[keystaff]

It is. Clow-san I think was an adult when he figured making his cards. So I wasn't expecting it to happen with me so soon after I first found his and was using them.

A fire that wouldn't burn you? That's probably pretty impressive control. I'm not sure I can figure that with Blaze.

[letmewin]

If he was an adult when he made them, and you can use them, then you must be really talented with magic. That's amazing, Sakura!

It might be special to us Bossmonsters. I didn't get to learn how to use that kind of magic, but... now that I'm here, maybe I can practice. I got really good with magic in the last place I was in!

[keystaff]

I guess I am. I didn't expect it. Not this soon at least. I suppose it does kind of make sense though? I did help him kind of halve his magic so I am more powerful than he is.

Bossmonsters? That almost makes me think of video games. I'm sure Kero-chan would love that. But I do think it might be a good idea to at least practice dreammotion here? Can you still use that magic from where you were before?
