Absolutely works. I actually just remembered you intended to use your Rabbit so if you want to that's still totally fair game, no pressure to use the student or anything

Although an unknown entity, you’re someone I haven’t written with before and have an academy student to boot. Still interested, if Currents doesn’t show up? @The Rabbit Emperor

If the bull counts you can start with you two and expand from there

I love the idea of relief and peacekeeping efforts, with the latter being more combat oriented and the former not having any sort of combat as a requirement. That way people can pick and choose which track they want In terms of going to the smaller settlements and helping them in a way that's not relief or peacekeeping and more in line with tech/magic maybe they can hold small clinics and have student-teachers that show these smaller settlements some basic but useful utility magic or smaller but useful tech (like the stuff listed under the Tech section of the landing page), something like that I'll say yes they can offer it but let's go with Ancient Magic and treat it as a 101 - introductory course, which exposes the student to the overall concepts that they can then follow up on with some independent study but nothing which would end with them being fluent in terms of coursework

So actually since we're at the point of a successful capture and we're firmly in diminuendo territory (with the Umbral guard on scene especially) I'll leave the rest of the thread to you all. Dan can still have his anime moment, as can anyone else say if amenities/Mike wants to respond after seeing the series of posts, that all can keep going on but I think we can put a bow on my personal involvement right now Don't want to rush anyone along but am about to start a new thread for the gaian academy and want to make sure I don't have too much going on at once I'll be around for OOC comments/guidance as to how my character may respond to anything IC though, just can't commit to more rounds of RP

My intention was just two students this semester, and with people I haven't written with before That said Currents hasn't replied to any of my tags so assuming they don't show up I'm happy to tap you in if your thread capacity allows?

" . . . those who are willing to be saved." Jericho laughed, clear and without poison. For a moment they spoke over one another. "Yeah well I ain't talking about art thieves and crimes of passion. I ain't talking about people that don't hurt other people or that do, and then figure out a way to make it right. I'm talking about – " " . . . for some time." Jericho cut himself off, seeing no need to beat a dead horse; or a dead slaver, in this case. Velleh's empire, built on the backs of the enslaved and the dead, was a testament unto itself. Jericho knew that he and Matte were more on the same page than off, otherwise he wouldn't have found himself inside of the splinter cell responsible for taking a man's life, but in the aftermath of an irrevocable action taken, by the light of the new day, things could look different than they did the night before. But that didn't appear to be the meat of what Matte wanted to discuss. Maybe he had come for his own kind of vengeance, a two-birds-one-stone kind of deal; Jericho turned his gaze away from the sky and towards Matte, his breathing steady and uninterrupted, his body ready but relaxed. " . . . my fiancé in Casper." Matte bore his heart; a beat-up, scarred little thing missing some of its most important pieces. This was about a different vengeance, but Jericho wasn't the one in the crosshairs. "I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you can get a little justice for her one day, whatever that may look like." ". . . find the other one." With a grunt of effort that seemed more like comforting illusion than any real indication of his fitness, Jericho sat up and leapt to his feet. He held a hand out to Matte; a corona from a distant lamp, a spread of a starry sky, and the light of a partial moon served to both color and shadow him. "You're a sneaky fucker. It 'just so happens'," He put quotes around his words without the use of his hands. "That I organized someone to drop off a packet of telemetric information using the gauntlet we have to find the gauntlet we don't, and sent it off to the military. Maybe you can ask them for a hand, or . . . ?"

The above reminds me of another system I’ve gotten into lately. It isn’t so much a system of magic as a system through which magic is done. And by that I mean that the first suggests a certain level of detail where the second doesn’t really go into the detail and we just deal with the consequences And that’s the Pokémon-esque Zatch Bell show / system

Personally speaking I’m a lot less familiar with the black clover system

"Fine." Eldwine rasped at Xavier, bringing himself into a half-squat and flipping the knife in his hand into an icepick grip; thin rivulets of blood flowed down his neck, joined into a single crimson thread at his suprasternal notch, and then stained the collar of his shirt before disappearing from view. "Keep your eyes u–" Eldwine cut himself short, jumping up and tucking his legs into his chest, revolving half a turn mid-air, as beneath him swept the robo-lizard's powerful, mechanical tail. It segmented even as it passed underneath Eldwine and raced towards Xavier, presenting serrated edges to take a bit out of Xavier's flank if he let himself get caught unawares. Eldwine landed on one hand, cart-wheeled to his feet, then exploded from his feet into a forward double somersault with two-and-a-half twists. This gymnastic move, usually reserved for the diving board, lofted Eldwine nearly as high as the ceiling, and deposited him with fox-like grace onto the robo-lizard's chest and shoulders. His hand hammered down his knife down through its upper jaw into its lower jaw, nailing it shut. He had every intention of jumping off before the robo-lizard got a shot at him but sometimes intentions just weren't enough. He had no time to see what Xavier was doing. The draconian automaton twisted its arm in a manner which would have broken the arm of a biological being, but which to a robot was merely a matter of ball bearings. Its arm circled like a fan blade, slamming into Eldwine's back and swatting him into a wall like a pest.

When your players have tears - that’s a good game. Maximum investment. More cries

I’m less concerned about the existence of one over the other than the balance of where they go. If all the cool goes to Dan and all the silly to Terrenus = KIBOSH

Just don’t make it too anime silly on the Terrenus end or I’ll have to put the KIBOSH on it
