Locked to Apprentices Only

[dream_is_a_wish]

[The video feed comes on, and Figment is fluttering in one of the apartments. He sets the mirror down and peers into it before nodding, certain that it's on.]

I...I'm sorry about what's happened! It's, no one's fault. But these witches they're old magic; some of the oldest kind! But I know we can beat them and save the Kingdoms.


But we have to work together.

[He plop down on the desk that the mirror is propped up on.]

I know that some new people just got here. And, I...We need people to train them! And everyone. Progress City was more about science, but I know there's gotta be books in the library about these ladies and The Dreamfinder always said, knowing is how you get better.

But we can't train in the castle...it's way too dangerous, so we have to go to safe places in Main Street. The Blacksmith for Warriors, Heroes and Machine classes. The Opera house is totally empty, so fairies and monsters, can...you guys go there?

[He taps his chin in thought.]

Mystics...oh! Mystics, you guys can go to the Magic Shop!

That leaves the Princesses...Miss Eleanor, do you think the basement of the Emporium would be open?

[He sits up.]

The Sanderson Sisters are too strong right now. They've, already hurt a lot of people and a lot of you guys but we can't give up. We can beat them and save Main Street!

I'm not sure we should split up, Figment.

And a lot of our magic overlaps.

[dream_is_a_wish]

There's no space big enough to train with out them finding out.

If we train together, they'll find us.

[blue_ice]

[ Given the events, Kaiba is reluctant to use the mirror. He keeps an eye on it for broadcasts from the sisters, but...he recognizes this little dragon, having passed him briefly. ]

'Too strong' is a bit of an understatement, isn't it? They're capable of forcibly transforming us from across a great distance, apparently as long as they can see us. And who's to say they aren't shapeshifting themselves as well? What chance do we have against that?

They have all the advantage here. Powerful long distance magic, apparently a wealth of information on us...the only way to counter that advantage is more information with which to plan, but if those books are in the library, I haven't found them yet.

[dream_is_a_wish]

Oh! You're looking? That's great!!! Try to find the green books, they're way nicer!

[They may not talk to Kaiba the way they do to Figment but he doesn't know that.]

[princess_weia]

I don't know if I'd be much help training, but I can help look for books and things at the library!

Plus if anybody got hurt when the monsters were fighting, I can help heal them. Not just apprentices, but other people too, if someone tells me where they are.

[She doesn't want to go directly to the infirmary, as she'd most likely just be underfoot there.]

[dream_is_a_wish]

Hey, that's a great idea! The In..uhm, inm...the hospital can always use help! It's right in front of the restaurant, the fancy one with the really good fish.

[smilingarmor]

You can count on me, Figment darling. The Great Sylvando will lend a hand wherever possible, whether it be for training or for keeping people's spirits up.

[And for a bit of clearing up damage. Mothra's intervention had probably prevented much of the town from being destroyed by an irate dragon, but there were still a number of buildings that had been damaged by the two giants.]

[dream_is_a_wish]

Do you know what class you are, Mr. Sylvando??

[paradoxical_personality]

[Oh look- it's that dragon she mistook for Ragnarok earlier. It's with some reluctance that she replies since she doesn't want to be reminded of that faux pas. Apparently dragons elsewhere were not always harbingers of disaster. And actually there was one she could think of in her own world that wasn't either...... but only one]

Some instruction would be preferred over the nothing we've received so far. If... we had been allowed to maintain our powers and abilities then I am sure that my magic would be of an old enough vintage to dispense with these would be tyrants.

[dream_is_a_wish]

Wow, wow, wow! Is your magic based on Imagination????

[king_of_egypt]

Yes, I quite agree Figment... it is better to pool our efforts than to press on individually. Through our unity there is strength.

[So it was with ease that he made the following offer]

If there is anything I can do, naturally I will oblige.

[dream_is_a_wish]

You'll help? Alright!

[He blinks.]

Unity...that means together, right?

[blessedarethebookmakers]

Terrible creatures! I know I will never look at a head of lettuce again. At least not with the same desire as I used to. [he's somewhat put out by the whole vampire bunny thing]

Of course, we must train the new arrivals now that Dreamfinder and the others are...temporarily out of service. I have a bit of experience in this area. I will take the Prince and Princesses in the Emporium. Eleanor, I may need you as an aide.

I don't know anything about training the warriors or heroes... Nor mystics... But I could volunteer a monster to train a monster. [so sorry, Crowley. That means you]

I wonder too if fairies could work on their blessings. We might need them in days to come. Who knows when we might need a perk or a jot of good luck.

[serpentinthegarden]

I know you aren't talking about me... [ Massive demonic snake head roll of exasperation. ] You can't go around just volunteering me for things, I'm not a volunteer kind of guy... and I certainly don't know how to train anyone in how to be a monster.

[az_shrimp_horny]

[Eleanor nods]

Yeah, no idea what you're talking about with the lettuce but sure I can help. I don't know if there are any new fairies, but maybe Rose can help train them. She's pretty good.

[dream_is_a_wish]

Did they do something to you, Mr. Fell?

[They were strong...especially with Merlin and Hades' powers! Oh, it made him so mad!!!]

Thank you so much!!! You're a great help and I know that this is gonna help out everyone! It's our one chance and...thank you!

[He would hug you if you were closer!]

[beancounter]

Figment... you're the LAST one that needs to apologize, here. [He still feels as if he's the one that needs to apologize, even if everyone else has been saying it really wasn't his fault, either.]

You can count on me to help! I'll do my best! [This really was the old, typical scenario, wasn't it? He messed up, somehow, then had to scramble to fix it. He'd gotten better at not messing up over the last few years, but... gosh. Did this ever remind him of his first year working for Scrooge McDuck. Just the crazy scenarios, scrambling to save the day, and all... They always pulled through in the end back home. They could do the same here, right? Especially if they worked together.]

Especially if we work together! [he repeated out loud.] We'll fight together, beat them, rescue Merlin, Dreamfinder... and Hades, and save the Kingdoms!

[dream_is_a_wish]

Alright!!!

[Happiest dragon ever, Fenton!!!]

Unity! That's the word that's really, really important! I....don't know how but it is! Thank you, Mr Crackshell!!!

[scarygoodtime]

[Jack is wary of the mirrors, but they don't really have a better option. Still, he does know a thing or two about witches.]

I beg your pardon Mister Dragon, but where would you have those of us who are still finding our way go? I'm more than happy to go to the library and research and compile notes. I've done so before.

[One hand up to his brow--or where his brow would be.]

I find myself quite annoyed with my own memory, as I am sure I've witnessed magic of the old kind and older before, but it has been a long time. I can't remember properly.

[dream_is_a_wish]

They are really, old Mr. Skellington, really, really old! The library might have some books, but they'd be hard to find since...well, Main Street isn't about Magic but I know some of the refugees from Fantasy Faire had books when they got here!

Also locked to apprentices and Figment - threadjacking welcome

[strangeandunusual]

If Eleanor can't open up the basement, I ... have a place we can go. I was going to open my Gallery. And even if she can, it could be a safe space for people who need to evacuate their homes. There's some furniture, and it's big enough for at least a dozen people to sleep in. It just doesn't look that big on the outside, so it'd be a good hiding place.

[a deep breath. she may still not know why this is her class, but she's owning it anyway. and with Mal being so burnt out...] And I'm totally willing to help the Princesses train. I - we've got to make this right.

[az_shrimp_horny]

You've got it, Lyds. I'm definitely opening up the Emporium. No reason not to use it, right?

[az_shrimp_horny]

[Eleanor nods, smiling at Figment. A lot easier now that that boil is gone... ew.]

Sure thing. I can open it right up for whatever we need. And I'll help anyone with training who needs or wants it. I may not know everything but I can still teach a thing or two.

[dream_is_a_wish]

Alright! Thank you, Ms. Shellstrop! that's gonna be a big, big help!!!!

Locked to Figment

[mal_contented]

"Forget training for me right now. If nothing else I can be a distraction. At best? I can weaken them to set things up for the rest. Tell me where to find them."

[If she had to choose only one of them to save...]

[She couldn't. She knew she couldn't. There was no way she could choose. She couldn't leave Merlin behind, it had to be him, for all their sakes. But Dreamfinder... how could she fsace Figment having left him behind. And the one she least wanted to save... no. No. She couldn't choose. So she couldn't be part of a rescue. But fighting to make rescue possible? She could do THAT.]

Re: Locked to Figment

[dream_is_a_wish]

E-everyone is working together.

[He's being polite, remembering Mal's reaction to wanting to be friends.]

I don't know where they are, Miss Mal but everyone is planning getting together to help out.

[sass_queen]

Even if she cannot speak in human words, she still goes to let out a roar in response to Figment's post. Yes, she can go to the Opera house but, she was worried about the little guy.

Are you okay? Does she need to find out and tend to you?

[dream_is_a_wish]

Wow, wow, wow! That's loud, Ma'am!!!

[But he sounds excited over it and no where near scared.]

I'm fine!!! Really! Everyone's willing to help so that makes everything better!
