Alright, random question for everyone now that Mother Nature is no longer trying to drown all of us with vigor.

[Kirikou is on Olivine's beach as he sends this out onto the network, a Houndoom and a Growlithe flopped over him. Hell yes to being on the beach again.]

If you had types like Pokemon, what would you be?

It's just something that randomly occurred to me while I was waiting out the rain. Me and my friend Maka have already talked about it for ourselves and the people we know.

I figured I was psychic-fighting. Back home, I'd what you'd call the heavy hitter of my team. This relates sorta to my fighting thing, but also to why I'm psychic type or at least I'd say so. See, back home, if you have the right soul and the right know-how, you can resonate your soul with someone else and it makes you stronger. Most people can only do it with one person if the circumstances are right, but there are people with flexible souls who can resonate with anybody and I'm basically one of those types. I can even do it with multiple people- basically one in a billion sort of thing.

[That's a blind estimate. He's just simply never heard of such a thing happening to his extent besides him.]

So.... Yeah, what's your type or what you think it'd be, and why? Let's get some conversation going up here.

[... He presses a hand to his forehead briefly.]

I'm not... opposed to them. They're tolerable, at least. But I've never really had time or... energy for pets. I don't have any particular fondness for cats, no.

Well cats are pretty low energy, I mean compared to dogs anyway. They just get in your face a lot so you don't have to go to them when it comes to pets.

True. Asher's cat tended to walk all over my equations, though. Had to... ban it from my workshop for a while.

Yeah, they do that. When they want attention, they're determined to freakin' get it.

So, Purrloin, huh? Don't they have a seedy reputation or something?

Maybe. It doesn't matter much to me. But the cat is not going to be taking my paperwork.

[He is going to be firm on this point.]

Yeah, you win against that cat.

Well, we all have to take our victories where we can get them.

Seeing peoples' souls is normal to you?

[ and then, miracle starts— mimicking him, little hand raised and giving a 'sup??' in return! gamzee, on the other hand— is oddly unfazed.

Mmmmhm. [ holding his hand up to the screen and manually zooming to the little bite until it's viewable, before he lets his arm flop back to his side. ]

He's a capricious motherfucker, man. Can't put a stopping to his whimsi-harshness when he's all meaning it . . . Even if I gave it a motherfucking try.

[ he gives a small half shrug. ] 'Sides, dude needs to let all that salt dissolve, y'nah mean? [ he gives a "chill out" gesture. ] You can't bottle that type of shit up like a wicked fuckin' Faygo, all hissy and ready to blow your tents like some kind of . . .

[ uuhhhhh ]

—Fuckin' troll canon. Gotta let it hang.

I think you might want to have him battle it out more on other Pokemon and not you. What're you gonna do if you faint because he poisoned you or something?

Yeah. [He gives a shrug, relaxed about it.] When someone's dead, where I'm from, anyone can see the soul just floating around.

But if you have Soul Perception, you can see it while it's still in somebody. My friend Maka is really good at it, along with one of our teachers Stein. They can tell what kind of personality you have, how strong you are when it comes to your soul, where people are, if they're a human or a Witch... Things like that.

It's a Meister thing.

That's a good question! I'm definitely at least part psychic-type, myself. Not only is my mind my most valuable asset but back home my magic probably would have fallen under the psychic umbrella too.

As for a second type... I'm not sure I have one, at least not yet.

It's still weird to think about magic as a good thing like that sometimes...

But anyway, no need to rush about types, right? Being solo is good on its own too sometimes.

That's an interesting way to put it. I've heard of plenty of people who just plain don't have magic on their world, but it sounds to me like you're talking about something different.

Well- yeah. The only people who can do magic where I'm from are Witches and... I guess things are changing now, but we used to be fighting them for a loooong time. As far as any of us knew, their magic was purely destructive.

Oh. So you've only had to deal with what we'd call dark or chaos magic. In my world it's a lot more varied. We have spells for just about everything, from levitating objects to clearing the sky. Though usually we let the fliers take care of that last.

Huh. What would you call magic that heals people? I mean in your world.

Medical magic. I know, it's not the most interesting name in the world, but it's more a branch of study than an actual separate type. Also it's mostly experimental. You could really make things a lot worse if you tried to apply it without proper knowledge of the body.

[Huh...]

Do you know much about it?

Not really, I'm afraid. It's not my area of expertise.

But I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you've run into something like that back on your world for the first time?

Not really the first time, but whenever I think about it- I realize I don't really know that much about it.

My friend and someone who's on the team I lead back home turned out to be a Witch- and this was a while ago- but she was basically the opposite in terms of what she could do.

I always figured when everything settled down, I could ask more about it, but, well, now I'm here. I'm her friend, and teamleader. I feel like it's something I should know about.

Oh. That must have been quite a shock to find out. But if her magic was a healing sort I'd imagine it to be pretty obvious that she wasn't like the Witches you'd faced so far... though a person can have dangerous, destructive powers and still be perfectly good.

Unfortunately, I probably can't help you much. The magic of my world and the magic of yours probably don't have much in common aside from the name. I have a firm grounding in the theory and use of my world's, but I know nothing about yours.

Not as shocking as watching a bunch of adults be freakin' useless in talking to her.

[Hold on, let him rein himself in. No need getting pissed off about something that happened that long ago.]

I guess you have a point. You'd want to talk to Maka more about that kind of thing. Still, thanks anyway. I still think I sorta.. at least got a better idea? Like that whole thing about knowing the body really well- didn't even occur to me. I just figured, y'know, it's magic so whatever. It's something that I know to ask Kim whenever I go back, or if she comes here.

Oh, you're from Maka's world! So when you mentioned resonating souls you were using her Death Academy sort of talk. Well that's a good reason for me to bring up the topic of magic with her again, we discussed it once but only briefly.

I don't know if she's mentioned me ever, but my name's Twilight Sparkle, and her and I are very similar in quite a lot of ways. I'm quite fond of her, though I think my friend Rainbow Dash is closer to her.

Oh hey, awesome! I've been wanting to meet more friends of hers.

I'm Kirikou Rung. Nice to meet you!
