[There's a few folks of the Xehanort persuasion out and about today, it seems...

The youngest?

blankedpoint can be found raiding a kitchen. Got to say, he likes this much of things since they changed. Not like he has any clue that most places don't.

A teenaged one, then.

another_chance has found himself an arcade room, and is very happily taking a blast at some seriously retro games.

The adult?

forza_del_bene has found the laboratories, and he could hardly be happier. He's hard at work setting up various bits of kit.

A female one -

exmariascientia is in the simulation room. Taking a very logical and precise study of the effects of whacking a rather too bulky looking keyblade at things.

In other news.

An Aqua has finally come out of seclusion.

tideturned reacted in a most-un-Master-like fashion to the DR closing in again, but she's improving. She's hanging out in a comfy lounge, listening to music and sipping on some kind of relaxing herbal tea. Just taking it easy.

As far as Keyblade Masters go, there's another who's stirring;

lightofoblivion is in the library. Felicius is catching up on a few history books, though he can't help but find himself cursing the lack of anything much between his own era and that of most of the residents...

Last of all, a pair of Heartless.

kingdom_seed is in a garden; Layla's well wrapped up against any chill in the air, sitting on a bench and happily writing away.

As for her father? As for

agrabah_weapon?
... Maybe it's a good job she can't see Kurt at the moment. This is a Heartless on the prowl. Maybe not conspicuously so, but better stay clear of those back corridors if your heart's interesting enough...]

((And that's everyone who currently has a journal of mine, aha. This is my attempt to get back into the loop (via being a copycat apparently), usual open-post stuffin' applies.))

Heh. [He shrugs.] I was just - it's okay, right? I mean, I have been practicing, training, the other stuff... I just like to have a go at these sort of things sometimes.

So long as you haven't been neglecting your training then it's fine, and I know you wouldn't do that.

Thanks. [A smile, now, relieved: it's just the normal worry of being caught by a teacher, after all.] I like the ones that give me a bit of a mental challenge. Ones where I need to put a bit of strategy into it?

I see.

[She looks at the game curiously. She's actually never played a video game in her life. Granted, it's probably not something she'd do often anyway. But still.]

[It's bullet hell! Rows and rows of patterns of shots fill the screen, and he carefully dodges around; as she watches, he hits a button and a bomb goes off, enemies blown away.]

Hah! Take that! ...uh. Heh.

[She still just looks curious. And amused. She's glad he's having fun though. He deserves it.]

[Though a death later, he sighs - he's done. Insert munny to continue and all that. He turns to her-]

Anyway... how're you?

I can't really complain. I've been doing some studying in the library lately.

[Need to make sure she's got lots of new things for his lessons.]

Anything interesting?

A few things.

That's cool. [He gives her a smile.] ...What sorts of things? [Curiosity killed the cat, but not the Xeha.]

[Curiosity is good! And with enough sneaky hinting, she might even be able to make him curious about Darkness/what]

Magic, techniques. So on, so forth.

[She can try! She'll be fighting against a whole lotta paranoia about the old man there, mind...]

Heh. Double cool. [He smiles.] I actually picked up a couple more spells while I was home? Wish I'd remembered the barrier while I was there, though... [A bit of a laugh.]

[That's why she's subtle and patient. She doesn't expect it to happen quickly, but she can plant seeds of doubt over time.]

Really? Such as?

[She's going to assume that's due to DR induced amnesia. Otherwise, she'll have more training for him to improve his reactions and reflexes :|]

[Yep, she's right in that assumption.]

A few upgrades to my old stuff. Managed to get Firaga sorted out, Blizzaga, Aerora, um, Stop, Quake... that sort of thing.

[She raises an eyebrow at that.]

Impressive. What about defensive and healing spells though?

Aerora's defensive? The way I was taught it, anyway? Healing, though... [He sighs. It's still a problem.] A few people tried to teach me. I've been trying, but I just can't make it come.

Hm, it must be a different type than I'm used to.

[She thinks for a moment on that one, wondering if the same approach she took with teaching him barriers would work as well. However, that would require injuring someone he cares about so he can heal them. And that's not a really great option.

Sure, it's how Master Xehanort taught her and Terra, but she doesn't think it'll work here.]

Yeah. I've got the feeling there's different forms of spells from what I've seen. I'm lucky I managed to get the one I did, in that case.

[He shrugs.

And yes. She's probably best staying away from something that dramatic, especially if she wants to keep her reputation around him intact.]

[True. She never liked that method anyway. Worked though. She can't deny that.

...Although. Depending on how much respect he's gained for her maybe she could just cut her own hand and ask him to try to heal it. That way, even if he doesn't get it, she can heal it herself.]

I'll have to have a look at variations of spells as well..I'm sure there's plenty out there that I haven't even heard of yet.

[Taking a risk, there...]

Yeah! How many things are there, right? And we just run around using the same basic sets of them, the same little combinations and tiers...

[Curious Xeha mode is go.]

[Hurting herself isn't a problem since she can just heal herself. besides, she's never intended to cause a lot of damage. Just a small cut. She wouldn't get Xeha to cure a serious injury right away :| Baby steps!]

Right. And considering all the different types of worlds and universes out there, there could be countless different types of magic and techniques as well.

[She's just as curious when it comes to learning. He picked a good Master...Well, in one way at least.]

[He gives a wide grin.]

It'd be amazing to find some of them out, huh?

That's one of the great things about this place. We get the chance to learn all these different types of magic. The Dressing Room offers endless possibilities.

Yeah. [He looks around for a moment...] One day, right? One day I'll know.
