Trinity Soul University: A Casual Magic RP (IC)

Library - Shopping District - Trinity Soul University

After entering the shopping district, she wondered what to do next. S she had not been out for a few years, she didn't know where to go and what she would find. She could remember stores, but not what they sold. In her mind, everything was a store it was the only thing she knew about. In the end she decided to enter what looked like a book store.

While in her room she had been constantly reading books. Most of the time she didn't even know what she was reading because of her lack of knowledge about the outside world. Despite that she loved to learn about the outside world. She had also been studying with the help of books. She was still pretty far behind, but it definitively helped. That was the reason she entered this building. She needed books to study magic.

Once inside she paid no attention to the other two person that where there and subplot began looking for books about blood magic. It was as if they didn't even exist. That doesn't mean that they wouldn't notice her however. There where many things that made her stand out. Her clothing, her facial expression, her distant attitude. She was certainly not a normal person at all.

"Erm... Yes." Trista quietly replied. She then lead Progan to where she had sat earlier with Sarah and sat at her spot. Without any hesitation, Trista then opened her book and began to read through the introductionary section. The foreword from the author and the basic introduction. She was uncertain on what Progan was going to do or say so she took the time to read and maybe answer any of Progan's questions.

After seeing that Trista started reading her book, Progan went straight into the book. Usually, he would speed read through the entire thing. However, he was unsure of how magic works, so he decided to take his time to read it, and maybe also try to know Trista a little bit more. He first read about how spells worked and how to control it.

Shortly after, he started to play around with an electrical bolt on his finger. The electric bolt danced around his finger and explored it. Suddenly, remembers that he could accidentally cause a fire and stopped the electrical bolt immediately.

"You are shy aren't you?" Progan asked teasingly, looking up from his book.

'Astral and Lunar magic are the magic of the celestial objects. Both of them require the power of their respective orbs to work. Astral magic requiring the power of the stars while Lunar magic requires the power of the moon. [...] Both magic types can be considered very similar due to their nature but they can also be considered opposites. [...] Astral magic focuses on offensive spells such as astral bolts and harmful flashes of starlight. Lunar magic, on the other hand, is more defensive and support based. These can include wards, healing, sensing abilities, and numerous others. Further details on common Lunar and Astral spells can be found in their respective sections.'

This enraptured Trista and greatly interested her. This could provide a good amount of insight into what she could be possible of. But without sufficient training or guidance from Daichi, this book only served as lists of possible abilities, skills, and other fine details regarding the nocturnal magics. But Trista noticed in one single passage alone something that both worried and interested Trista further. Sensing abilities. Was what had happened with Drake an actual abilities of hers? Trista only thought that she was just having a nervous feeling of foreboding. But it might have been much more. Trista quickly turned over to the pages where the passive Lunar abilities were and-

"You are shy, aren't you?" Progan asked Trista. Trista reeled back and shook a little from surprise. Out of nowhere, Progan called out to her just as she was about to discover what her senses were about. Talk about bad timing...
"I... Erm..." Trista attempted to reply but then let out a small giggle. Here she was trying to answer his question on whether she was shy or not and stuttering in the process. "I... I guess you could... say that." Trista followed up with a little giggle. Her voice had picked up volume and a bit of confidence. It may not have been anywhere near enough to stop the stuttering or hesitation but it was an advancement from being very quiet and afraid.

Seeing that Trista had became slightly more open than before, Progan smiled and went back to reading his book. He did not want to disturb Trista any further, maybe could find something helpful.

"Electrical type magicians have a tendency to like doing things quickly." Progan was quite surprised to find it accurate, he had recently began to want to do things quicker, this applied for everything, even for his programs.

"Although electrical magic is mainly used in offensive spells, electrical magic can also be used to help in everyday things. The simplest example is a light source, however, electricity magic can be risky to use. If anything accidentaly goes wrong, results could be catastrophic." Suddenly, Progan was glad that he had stopped the electrical spark before it had caused any other damage.

Arcade - Shopping District - Trinity Soul University

"I wish I didn't have to skulk about in the shadows during the day all the time," Sarah Hunnigan complained as she darted into another patch of shade.

Such was the life of a vampire. It was a constant battle against the sun, one they had no chance of winning. Sarah had heard a rumor of one arrogant vampire trying to blot out the sun, but it was just a children's story. Like humans, every creature was engaged in a battle they could not win. All Sarah could do was make sure that she used as little energy as possible during the daytime, and that she relied on her mother's staff to get her through long stretches of light without getting winded.

This earned her more than a few odd looks from fellow students. Sarah, bubbly and understanding as she was, paid no heed to the awkward looks and instead slinked into the cover of a nearby building. To her good fortune, a glimpse at the map revealed that this was the arcade. Taking a deep breath and composing herself within the shadows, Sarah smiled and ventured forth into the chilly interior.

The arcade looked like a new addition to the university if its modern exterior design was any indication. It tried to blend in with other structures and their vintage masks, but the LED lights and neon signs on the windows gave it away. Inside the arcade were numerous consoles and gaming platforms ready for someone to grab a hold of and play to their heart's content. On one side of the large room were a few large TV screens complete with sound systems, multiple controllers, and beanbags for comfort and style. Although unaccustomed with most tech, Sarah figured this must have costed more than a pretty penny.

Her attention drifted from the lights to the new age music that wafted throughout the arcade until she discovered a large machine near the center of the room. Curious, Sarah discovered that the machine was a Dance Dance Revolution game, fit for two people. Players could play the arcade machines free of charge, seeing as there were game consoles littered about that had no coin slots. The vampire smiled and walked up to the DDR machine, pleasantly surprised that the screen lit up when she touched the dance pad. It was as if it had called to her!

Not one to turn down a challenge, Sarah perused the song lists...

'The Umbral Sense is a passive ability possessed by most Lunar magic users. It is the ability to sense specific individuals based upon their lunar aura.
The lunar aura is a concept used to describe how the Umbral Sense differentiates people from each other. Everyone's lunar aura is different but it will always reflect the owner. Some auras are violent, others are calm, and there are those that wish assist others.
The Umbral Sense allows the user to sense these auras and, depending on the aura's nature relative to the user's, it can produce a variety of effects. The effects are completely dependant upon the user's own aura and the target's. The more different and conflicting the target's aura is compared to their own, the stronger the effects. As a result of the Sense's relative nature, it is next to impossible to document the list of effects that the user may experience.
Masters of the Umbral Sense can use it to not only sense who is nearby but where they are and what they may be experiencing with great precision. But people who have yet to master it are known to get easily confused by what the Umbral Sense is telling them and get surprised by the spontaneous nature of an untrained Sense. They can sense exactly what a master would. The difference between a master and a novice of this ability is their understanding of how their Sense works and how to focus it.'

It turned out that what Trista was experiencing was known as the Umbral Sense. Unfortunately, it appears that Trista is completely alone when it comes to mastering her Sense and finding out what it told her about Drake. Something about the phrase 'conflicting and different' made Trista worry greatly. This was the first time that Trista's Umbral Sense had ever been activated or done anything noteworthy so it might have been that Drake's aura is completely different to her own. But in what way? Was he just very talkative and spontaneous? Was he brave? But if that were the case, why would her Sense give her a feeling of foreboding? Trista knew that she had to be cautious around Drake. She just didn't know how Drake would behave around her or what exactly her Sense was telling her.
Thinking about her Sense, Trista wondered how it would come in handy. Could she use it to detect when someone was going to approach her and speak to her? If she could, it would greatly come in handy. As this point, more questions started to fill Trista's head to replace her initial one. How does one use the Umbral Sense? Is it always active? Does Trista have to activate through some means like her other abilities? If it is always active, how does user tap into it? How do they know when they are sensing others? This was something that Trista would have to ask Daichi about when the time comes.

Trista looked up from her book and looked around the room for a clock. How long had Trista been in this library? Judging by the clock on the wall, it could have been anywhere from half an hour to one-and-a-half hours. Had it really been that long? Knowing the time that she had spent and the remaining amount of time she had, Trista couldn't stay here for long. She still needed to do some things in the shopping district before heading back to her dorm. Trista needed to get a few books from the bookstore and then give those candies to Sha Yun. Thinking about it, Sha Yun would be wondering where Trista is and what was happening. A very ironic thought. Trista had gone to the shopping district to find Lynne because Trista was wondering where she had gone. And now the roles had been reversed, Lynne was probably back at the dorms while Trista was over here in the shopping district. With little time to spare, Trista closed her book and turned to Progan.
"I... I need to go now. N-Nice... meeting you, Progan." Trista said to Progan as she began to walk off to the front of the library to checkout her book.

"Electrical magic users do not like to beat around the bush, they would find the most direct way possible."

Progan was quite surprised that ones magic type can affect a persons personalty.

"I... I need to go now. N-Nice... meeting you, Progan." Trista said. She finally spoke without Progan having to ask her a question! Although this was nothing to be celebrating about, Progan felt happy for some reason. Still, Progan had to stay in the library as he had to been notified of his form ro...

"vee... " Progan nearly jumped out of the chair when the phone suddenly vibrated. "Your dormitory room is 321B, please come here to pick up the key to your room." Okay, time to get out of the library, I am starting to get cold in here ...

Library - Shopping District - Trinity Soul University - <Sinuda>

Sinuda quickly found her way to the books she was looking for. The darker section you could call it. Where books that told dark magic would normally lie. At first she only found a few books about shadow magic. Although it was similar, it was not quite the same. Just to be safe however she grabbed on of them and opened it up in one of the first few pages and began to read. There were many things that made sense, but there were also many things that did not make sense. It was more the things that didn't make sense that she needed to focus on. What already made sense was things like how to get started with magic, how to call i fourth, the mindset and so forth.

After looking some more she rather small area for blood magic. When you thought about it, it kind of made sense. Not everyone would like to write about something like blood magic. Many would probably even think of it like taboo, like her parents for example. She didn't care much however. At least she didn't want to care too much. If she did or not she didn't really know.

After looking trough about five or six books she finally found something which looked like high quality. The cover was not overly decorated, but it was not too simple either. The pages themselves were very used, but not too old compared to it's use. The text inside of the book was finely made by hand. Even the name of the book was right, "Crimson black magic". She knew this was the book she was after.

Now she just had to buy it. This was a book store after all. She couldn't just leave without paying. The problem was that she didn't know the price. For all she knew it could have a ridiculously high price. Luckily for her there was another girl there that she could ask. It looked like she was leaving however. If she was leaving then it was probably better to leave her alone, yet if she didn't asked she would lose her chance to find the price of the book. In the end she decided to walk up the the the girl and ask. If there were a punishment for bothering the girl, then she would just have to take it. "Excuse me. Do you know the price of this book?" she asked in a monotone voice with a slight hint of fear behind it.

Kris went outside to enjoy the sun of the schoolgrounds "Ahh.. nothing like some time of peace" she said closing her eyes while feeling the calm breeze

The wolf sat at a near bench and took out her coat, her furred limbs made her look around at first if someone was at eye view. Noticing that she was safe, the white haired massaged her limbs "These are handy when it is cold, but here it is rather hot. Not that it bothers me though"
