[OPEN]
Who: Vivi and you!
When: Throughout the later half of November
Where: Around campus
What: Vivi practices his magic, confronts his own uneasy feelings about his lost memories, and cooks.
Warnings: None but I'll change if there's anything.
A. staff training (mythril cage, anvil)
[ Vivi is a common sight in the Cage by now, studiously coming to practice with his magic every day or so. Usually, he's practicing on the shooting range, trying to get used to a gun. More and more often, though, he can be seen swinging a metal bat around, using it to direct his magic towards targets; fireballs and lightning are his most common choices.
At other points, he's up to his own devices in the workshop, supervised by a concerned staff member. At these times, he has books full of bookmarks occupying any space it's safe to put a book without it getting potentially damaged or interfering with equipment, and he's working hard on what seems to be...some kind of staff? It's hard to tell.
He has several different designs littered around, each covered with scribbled notes.
The wood that will serve him as the base for such a thing remains untouched. It seems like he's having some trouble deciding what he wants. ]
B. self-reflection
[ Sometimes, Vivi can be found staring at his reflection, usually at the edge of the large, cross-shaped pond that decorates the campus. Lost in his own thoughts, for once he's not attentive to whatever's going around him - you could probably push him in and he wouldn't notice until it was too late.
Occasionally, he reaches up, tugging at something under the darkness of his hat in apparent nervousness. Usually, he winces and leaves it alone, but sometimes he manages to yank free what looks like some kind of black feather; something that quickly crumbles in his fingers, leaving no trace.
At such times, he looks like he doesn't know how to feel about it. ]
C. library
[ It's rare to find Vivi not reading, if he has any free time. But he's prone to falling asleep over books, even with his adherence to going to bed early, so it's not an uncommon sight to find him slouched over a book with no actual indication of whether he's absorbed or just asleep.
The books he surrounds himself with are cookery books, mostly, with a few history books mixed in. It's likely that he's researching for cooking club again. ]
D. wildcard
[ Anything else - you can find Vivi around campus all the time! I'll roll with it. I will match your format! ]

[But he shakes his head as he shrugs.]
But I can wait. What I'm working on is... unpredictable, so I don't really want to let it loose around other people too much.
[It's all fun and games until someone gets zapped to the Astral Plane. ...Though, actually. Maybe Vivi can help.]
When you use magic... do you do different things to cast different spells, or whatever?

But it's much better now! It felt random at first 'cause I didn't know what I could do, but when I learned what I could do by testing it a lot, I figured it out.
Are you having trouble with your magic? Is it new?
no subject
[Ah, what the hell. Vivi's a sweet kid and the information's already out there; telling him isn't going to make anything any worse.]
I learned something new, and I suppose my magic decided it wanted to learn something new, too. Or something. So it crops up now when I practice the other thing, but... not on purpose.
no subject
So it only happens when you practice the new thing, and it doesn't listen to you? Maybe it's like a growing pain. [ He says the words like they're foreign to him - which, well, they are. Growing is something that happens to other people. ] It's new right now, so maybe it's getting used to you or something.
[ He hums, thoughtfully. ] Maybe practicing it more would help...
no subject
That's the only thing I can think of, too. Nothing else for it, I guess... Looks like I have a lot of late nights coming up if I ever want to get this place to myself.
no subject
For maybe the wrong reasons. ] What happens if it hurts you and there's nobody around? That'd be bad, right...?
no subject
This is the second time now someone's asked him that, and he's no more ready for the question than he was at first. Do people just... think like that, naturally?]
...Well. Yeah. Could be.
[He doesn't want Vivi worrying about him, so he finds himself adding:]
I do have someone who offered to keep an eye out while I practice, but I figure she won't be available all the time.
