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.]

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.

[keystaff]

I'm sure there are other ways you could make something like that useful too though.

It's only more recently that this started happening, since I started with high school. So I'm not the most sure on it, didn't even realize I could do it. I mean. I knew Clow-san made those cards I initially found. And then I changed them to work with my own magic, but. Making my own. That's different. I wasn't aware I was that powerful.

[projections]

If there's other useful ways to apply magecraft then I haven't found them yet.

You might be able to learn magic from someone here. There's got to be someone who can teach you those things.

[keystaff]

From someone here? You think so? I just figured. Clow-san's magic seems pretty unique. I'm not sure if anyone else has the same sort of situation as I do with my magic, my abilities.

[projections]

It might be worth asking.

There's some people I know from back home who are good at that sort of thing. They haven't shown up here though. So I wouldn't even know where to start with that.

Your magic sounds complicated.

[keystaff]

Maybe. I'm not sure if anyone else has the same situation as me, but. Maybe at least they might be able to give me some tips or something.

I know there are a lot of others here with magic or some sort of powers.

[projections]

Yeah, I have some powers too even if they're weak right now.

You're probably stronger than me if you can just use different magic when you want to. I still have a lot of things that I need to work on. How about I call you again when I learn something new ?

[keystaff]

Sure. If you do learn anything. I can let you know too. If I hear anything too. I'm not sure if others might be able to help in our particular cases but. It's worth a try. We can help each other.

[projections]

We can be friends.

Wouldn't that be better?

[keystaff]

Friends? Okay! None of my friends from home are here so I have been making new ones here.

[projections]

It's the same for me. I don't know anyone from home here but I've made some new friends.

I don't feel lonely and the people are nice. Let's just do our best.

[keystaff]

I didn't figure it could just be me that is without their friends or family. As sad as that is. I guess it just means we can stick together.

[projections]

Of course! You can always call on me if you need anything. That's what a friend is for.

[keystaff]

Right! And you too. If you need anything. I can try help. Hopefully. Or at least listen.

[projections]

There's a lot of things I need help with still.

Are you any good with gardening and cleaning? Moving into a place is so much work.

[keystaff]

I don't do so much gardening but cleaning I can help with! I do some at home with helping out around the house with onii-chan and dad being busy with university and work. I cook too. Sometimes.

[projections]

We should cook together sometime.

It might be good to try. I can teach you what I know if you're interested.

[keystaff]

Yes! I'd like that. I'm sure we probably know different recipes. Even if mine are probably more basic compared to you since you're older.

[projections]

That's fine. I'd like to see how you do them for myself. A good chef should always be open minded.

I might be able to learn something new along the way. I mostly cook Japanese food and things like that. You don't have any diets, do you ?

[keystaff]

I'm not sure if I would know anything you don't. Most of my dishes are still pretty basic and simple. I've only recently been allowed to fry things now I'm a little older, at home. But. It could be fun! Most of my dishes are Japanese too.
