[With the new information from the damsel, Signum's abandoned her recon plan. If nothing else, the number of these things that would be falling now makes any kind of flight dangerous. So instead, she does this the way the Damsel suggested.]

[action]

I wish for Cypha of the Huckebein in handcuffs.

*BOOM CRASH!* [Inside the capsule: a mugshot of Cypha and a pair of fuzzy handcuffs. She lights the former on fire.]

I wish for Agito, fully healed as I was.

*BOOM CRASH!* [It's a...belt? Signum wonders about the connection and tosses it aside.]

I wish for escape from this place.

*BOOM CRASH!* [It's a fantasy novel. Signum shrugs and admits to herself she had that one coming.]

I wish for a hunting bow.

*BOOM CRASH!* [Oddly enough, that works. Signum's glad; hunting with a sword is neither sporting nor efficient. She spends the next few minutes wishing for individual arrows, a utility knife, and a fishing kit.]

Well, this is useful, but I don't--

*sword comes out to parry a shuriken falling at her, and is instantly sheathed again*

--I don't think it's very efficient. I wish for...

[Feel free to bother her or make suggestions.]

If you're any kind of engineer, try wishing for parts.

Hardly.

Maybe some kind of building materials...

Re: Text

[hotshot-momma.livejournal.com]

That's the idea. Wishing for a house won't work. Wishing for the planks and nails...

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

That was a nice parry. I wonder if you can parry falling rocks.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Depends on the size of the rock.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Good question. How about this size?

[And suddenly, there's a ...giant rock coming down. Giant, like, fifteen feet in diameter. Of course, this one doesn't come from wishing.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

[Sword's out again, but this time Signum just cuts straight through it in one strike as it falls, pieces landing on either side.]

Technically, no.

And be careful where you throw your spells, not everyone here knows magic.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Thought so!

And yes, I knew that. Don't worry, though, it'd not have killed you or anyone else, either way. Not unless I wanted to, and why would I?

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

You're sure you have that much control over a physical materialization-type spell? You seem a little flighty for such a skilled and responsible mage, or you just underestimate how fragile civilians can be.

Totally not bragging.

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

Yes, pretty sure. I can also do earthquakes that precisely destroy a location, like, a shrine, but not the village next to it. I'm good at this stuff, if I can say so about myself.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Is arbitrary destruction really something to be proud of?

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

It's not arbitrary, it's targetted on proper targets.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Let me guess, whatever you feel like at the time?

[peachhat.livejournal.com]

No, that'd be silly. I plan it in advance, of course.

[She appears upside-down]

A house?

[Action]

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

*BOOM CRASH!* [It's a dollhouse]

Good thought, but I think there's a size limit.

[Action] 2/2

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Also where did you just come from?

[Action]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

I thought as much. No buses, I suppose.

[Action]

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

...what would you even do with a bus here? There's no roads.

[Action]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Who says it's for traveling?

[Action]

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

...etymology?

[Action]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Think outside the box.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

... Er.

[Oh hey, here's your friendly rival, Signum. And she seems to have spotted the pair of fuzzy handcuffs that came in the capsule along with Cypha's photo. Whatever she was about to approach Signum about is promptly forgotten.]

... What are you doing with those, Signum?

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

...I got those by mistake.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

... Okay then.

[She's really not sure she wants to know what Signum was originally wishing for...]

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

...what are you giving me that look for?

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

N-No reason! This whole wish business is just a little weird, that's all...

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

These stars have a poor sense of humor.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

What are you...doing?

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

My part to clear some of the stars out of the sky. Most of the "wishes" are useless, but I've gotten some small survival equipment, at least.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have guessed 'wishing' to actually work.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

The Queen seems to make the rules of this place, and her mind seems to be stuck in some kind of old fairy tale. Look at the outfits they provided for us, for starters.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

I thought the outfits were strange, but I can't say I've ever had a sense of style. It is nice to know I wasn't wrong, though...

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

My sense of fashion is inherited entirely from my commanding officer, tempered by my own sense of propriety. I know far more about swords than clothes.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

(...Why did that comment make me think of Exie all of the sudden?)

Your commanding officer?

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Lt. Col. Hayate Yagami. She's like family to me, but her tastes are sometimes a little eccentric.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

(...And I'm now thinking of Exie.)

I think I may know what you mean.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

If you ever see me running around in combat with no pants, that's her doing, just as a forewarning and explanation.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

I-I see.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Then again, after this long with the same armor, I've gotten so used to having my legs free that...

...you don't have to have such a surprised expression, you know.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I suppose I was caught off guard by such an odd statement.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm more used to talking to people who know how strange and elaborate barrier jackets and armor can be.
