[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! ]

[Vivi's explanation makes far more sense to Therion, who's only ever had his own intuition to go on about this magic crap, than anything anyone else has suggested so far. He nods slowly, then sighs.]

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.

[Blink.

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.
