Journal; I
Sender: Alisaie Leveilleur
To: Everyone
Subject: Greetings
Well, I've never been particularly good with introductions, but I suppose they are in order nonetheless.
My name is Alisaie Leveilleur, and I hail from a star called Hydaelyn. I very much hate sitting on my hands, and things here are rather far too quiet for my liking, so if anyone would like a partner to work with, please feel free to call on me. I'm not lacking in combat skills, but I'd also very much like to begin working with this.. dreamotion energy, as it were, so if anyone should like to practice with me, or be practiced on, please let me know.
I also wouldn't mind company while I clean up this treehouse.
Also, is there anywhere I might find some fresh cookies or cupcakes?

Portals? I assume you refer to teleportation magicks.
[ there's plenty of that where she comes from, too! ]
no subject
Yes, that's right! I've only just recently figured out how to create portals, myself, but it only works if I'm familiar with the places I'm trying to get to.
no subject
Portals are a bit unusual where I am from, but teleportation via Aetheryte crystals is quite common. A friend of mine is attempting to set up something similar, here. But it is much the same - you must be attuned to the crystal to teleport to its location, lest you risk becoming lost in the aetherial sea.
[ which is a Bad Thing ]
no subject
Aetherial sea...? What is that?
no subject
[ alisaie learned of the aetherial sea at a very young age.. but then, she is sharlayan, and all sharlayans are a bunch of research nerds, so. ]
The sea of souls and energy that runs through the entirety of the star, the font of all magicks. When we teleport, we move through the aetherial sea from one point to another very quickly, but without aetheryte crystals to serve as beacons, one may become lost, and slowly dissolve over time.
[ the cabinets are done! she hops lightly down from the countertop. ]
no subject
She nods along at Alisaie's explanation with genuine interest. ]
I see... how wondrous, but also terrifying! To be honest, I don't exactly know how my teleportation magic works to that extent... I just know that it only works between two trees that I know, and it only works when the locations are on the same plane of existence.
no subject
[ clearly this is blowing her mind a little, as alisaie stops where she is standing in order to raise a hand thoughtfully to her chin. ]
Why, I've never heard of such a thing, though I do not claim to be well learned in the intricacies of aetheric teleportation. I suppose were the trees made to serve as beacons..
[ she's thinking about this way too hard, but alisaie is a big nerd beneath her jock energy, so this is interesting to her!! in the end, however, she shrugs. ]
.. or your world simply behaves fundamentally differently from mine, and that is that.
no subject
Hmm, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a little bit of both? There are several planes of existence where I'm from, so if one were to travel across them I imagine you'd need something that functions like a beacon, but I've never... really traveled across them. I think. Maybe?
[ Things that make you go hmm. Anyhow... ]
You remind me of my friend, Dae. He would probably be able to explain how this kind of thing works in our world better than I could, too.
no subject
Ah - well mayhaps someday I should have the good fortune of meeting him.
[ alisaie chuckles, but it is time to get back to WORK. dragging the second chair over to the shelves opposite of ori, alisaie hops up onto it and begins dusting again. they're making quick work of these shelves indeed! ]
Nevertheless, that's still quite fascinating. I would love to know more about how it works.
no subject
... but those are thoughts for another time.
After a beat of silence, Ori suddenly remembers that she's having a conversation and she should probably... respond. ]
Oh. Well, I suppose I could try to explain how my teleportation works. My magic draws from my connection with nature, so being able to create portals through trees that I'm familiar with draws on that connection, too. If that makes sense...
no subject
[ she probably does not mean the elements.. given all ori has said, it seems that wherever she is from is quite different from hydaelyn, and runs on a different set of aetheric rules. they may very well be unable to puzzle this out. ]
But I suppose if the trees serve as beacons, which doesn't seem too off-course, considering they must be trees you are familiar with.. well, it is similar enough.
[ and as close as they'll get to making sense of it, she thinks. ]
Where I am from, one must attune to aetheryte crystals in much the same way, to travel. We cannot travel to an.. unfamiliar tree, as it were.
no subject
[ She's speaking of primal energy, specifically, although they are best expressed in nature as the elements themselves.
But at length, Ori nods along. She's no scholarly wizard like her friend Dae, but she does have some kind of fundamental understanding - she needs to in order to cast her spells so she can heal and protect her friends! In any case, Alisaie's explanation seems to make sense. At the very least, she sure is saying it as-a-matter-of-factly enough that Ori thinks it checks out, anyway. ]
Magic can be so mysterious, huh! I'd love to hear more about how it works in your world!
[ Perhaps it is what they can continue to talk over as they continue cleaning and later on when they reward themselves with snacks! ]
