[OPEN!]
Who: Akko + anyone at all!
When: July 1st
Where: All around campus!
What: Akko is already making herself comfortable here on her very first day!
Warnings: Shouldn't be any!
i. aube, 104 + common room
[Day 1 is a doozy, as they say in the industry. That's what's on Akko's mind as she drags her luggage into her room and contemplates everything she's just been told about the Herald's arrival. The most frustrating part of all of it is that it's happening tomorrow and she's too late to help out. But she looks surprisingly determined and optimistic anyway. She'll be ready for next time. And she can help hold down the fort at Daybreak while the majority of their forces are out fighting, right?
Anyway, she takes a good deal of time setting up her room while she thinks about this, leaving the door open to get a breeze going through. One can hear her singing enthusiastically in another language as she lays out all of her clothes, books, and personal items on the desk and bed.
Later, Akko spends some time in the common room's kitchen to make lunch. Except she's an awful cook and you can probably smell the grilled cheese burning from two floors away.]
ii. market square
[Okay so lunch at home was a bust, but the market square has food stalls, and that's all the prompting Akko needs to check it out. But man, there are so many options??? And nothing is particularly familiar food, either. After all, she comes from Japan, and her time in England was spent in a VERY rural location where street foods weren't really a thing. All these sandwiches and salad stalls...where's a girl got to go to get a good piece of dango around here?
That said, Akko is definitely standing in the middle of everything looking extremely awestruck and in the gosh darn way. Maybe help her decide what to eat, or at least guide her out of the way because what's worse than That One Person who stands in the middle of oncoming peoples' way.]
iii. somewhere on the lawn, idk
[It's not all fun and games, though. Akko has to practice to keep her skills sharp, and what better place to do it than just. Outside on the lawn. It's a lovely day, she doesn't see any reason not to.
However it doesn't occur to her that it might be a little alarming to see a person continuously shifting between being human, a ball of brilliant white light, various animals, and then back again. In Luna Nova, that's all people did. Shape shift, heal, repair - alter was the name of the game. One day, it might click that this isn't Luna Nova and the range of skills and races is way more diverse here at Daybreak. Today is not the day.
And if that sight isn't alarming enough, Akko's here to fix that! If you stare long enough without engaging, she just might bounce over your way while beaming.]
Hey! Sorry to bother you, but could I copy you for a second?
iv. wildcard
[Idk man hit me up on discord (azazelbunny#3388) or plurk (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

Huh...?
Oh! Sure! [ This is a trick he's seen in the Outlands, at least - illusion magic, and occasionally fae trickery to entertain children. ] Do I have to do anything...?
no subject
Nope, you're fine! [She squints at Vivi.] Hm...okay! I've never seen anyone like you before, so here's hoping I can get this right.
[It's not quite illusion magic, something Vivi might be able to tell once she gets going. Her magic is classified as metamorphosis magic and involves dissolving things into pure energy and re-shaping them. So she's aiming to be a jumble of reconfigured organs inside a Vivi-shaped shell. Which sounds grosser than it feels by far.
Akko's form begins to shimmer and glow, morphing into a ball of white light. After a few moments of hovering there, the light warps into an outline, and then solidifies into the closest copy of Vivi she can manage, having only just met him.]
Ta-da! How'd I do?
[How'd she do?]
no subject
Wow! You're me! [ He giggles, clearly delighted (though some deep part of him is uneasy, and he doesn't know why. It's easy to ignore.) ] It's--it's good! It's like looking into a mirror.
no subject
[Some of the tiny details in the clothes are probably off, and anything unfamiliar in nature (ie not flesh) looks almost like plastic if one looks really hard, but she's overjoyed to have succeeded. Cue fist pump.
Unfortunately, copying someone's form in this way comes with caveats. She has a few familiar shapes - ones which she knows how to pilot now - and Vivi's is not one of them. So the fist pump does throw her off balance a bit, but she hop-steps to a stop before she can fall.]
Whew, your center of balance is so different than mine, haha!
no subject
[ Also, the clothing provides padding. ] Can you change into other things too? Can I see?
no subject
[It's a little draining, but Akko is nothing if not one for showmanship, and so she morphs a few more times and plays it up just enough to be a show. The process looks the same for each phase. She glows, she becomes an orb, she becomes a creature. She starts with something fairly large for her typical fare - a dog - and leaps into the air, becoming a bird at the height of her jump. She circles Vivi once before landing semi-gracefully as a cat. And when she's human again, Akko is a little out of breath, but proud of her display.
Panting, she puts her hands on her hips and takes a rest.]
It's...a little tiring...but I'm getting better!
no subject
I didn't know humans could do things like that! That's amazing...!
Oh, um, do you need anything? I didn't tire you out too much, right? [ He's immediately fussy, though. ]
no subject
[She stands up a little straighter, as if to prove that she's alright.]
You've never seen metamorphosis magic in humans? Chariot taught it at Luna Nova, although everyone used theirs differently. I think my flame lets me take it more literally than most.
