[Lily’s posting a message to the network! Which is odd, because she normally doesn’t like messing with the network much, but. It’s a video post, and one that shows Lily standing in the magic lab on the fourth floor.]

So, something weird is going on in Fissures, we know that. More than just the reality thing, I mean. And we’ve had things like endless fires, or creepy mines, or mansions with moving armor that tries to throw you out. So… I feel like there’s going to be a need for us to be stronger. Or more versatile. Or just… better.

If anyone else is feeling that way, Jail and I in the Magic Lab. [At the mention of her name, a familiar gloved arm reaches out from behind the camera, bending to do a fingergun at the viewers. It’s probably very uncomfortable to bend your arm that way..] I’m not suggesting sparring- Instead, it seems like most people here have magic, or some powers similar. If you can come and explain your powers, Jail can take a Look at them, and I’ll help by trying to expand your powers. Trying to think of new ways you can use things, or unexpected applications.

If you have trouble controlling your powers, too, I can help with that. I’ve got… a lot of practice. Just assume I’m here to help you grow and expand your powers in general.

I hope I’ll see some of you soon.

[True to her word, Lily’s waiting in the Magic Lab for all comers.

She may be under a kotatsu for a significant part of it, but listen, that’s important.]

[Well, feeling out the limits of hammerspace in Incendia before was a good time, Akira feels like it's probably worth popping in to check out this whole power expansion thing.

Plus, she's got an extra trick to work with now, too. She'll just poke her head into the Magic Lab after a while.]

Uh, hey.

[ax_iom]

Oh, hey!

[Manners wins out, and she at least gets up from under the kotatsu to greet her...]

You're, um...

[...]

... Sorry, have we met yet? There's so many faces around here it's hard to keep track...

[redmeguca]

[Coming into the lab is a notably non-centaur Kyoko.]

Hey Lily, hey Jail. Thought I'd stop by and see if Ophelia's got anything new for me. I'm willing to help out too, I had to get creative with my magic a lot back home.

[ax_iom]

Oh, hey, Kyouko.

[She nods, not getting up from the kotatsu.]

Can you tell me more about what you can do?

[foolishjustice]

[Goro is in female form still when she gets to the magic lab, and has at least limited her jewelry to things that don't dangle too much. That's about the extent of the limit, though, as she's still sparkling from multiple necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Don't judge her, okay?]

Hello. I've been studying magical theory very heavily, if you'd like someone familiar with creating new spells. I also have some other powers that I'd be eager to study a bit more closely than I could back home.

[ax_iom]

Creating new spells is something I'm interested in, but... Let's start with the other bit.

[She stands up from the kotatsu, looking her over. who this.]

Ah, sorry, though, are you one of the new arrivals? I don't think I've seen you before.

[whitemoontiger]

Ah... I uh... have a bit of trouble controlling my ability... I mean... I normally wouldn't but the person who'd be here to help me isn't here and I wouldn't mind help with learning how to control it on my own.

[ He's totally nervous about bringing this up but knows it has to be done. After all he wants to control it and not have the tiger running rampant around the station at some point, causing trouble for everyone. ]

If that's still okay... I can come down there. I would appreciate the help.

[ax_iom]

Of course.

[She nods.]

If it's dangerous, don't worry. I'm strong, and Jail's amazingly smart. Between the two of us, we can figure it out.

[nojohnyouare]

[Mai hesitates at the door. With a small, slow breath, she steps in.]

Training with magic use?

[ax_iom]

Oh, hello again.

[Lily gets up from the kotatsu... ... but she's a bit slow.]

That's right. Can you tell me what you can do?

[sendintheclown]

[If the door is closed, Gogol will kick it open.

If it is open, he’ll quietly close it before busting through moments later.

Either way, he’s making an entrance.]

Hiii~iiii!

[ax_iom]

[... and that's a pink laser making a rather decent-sized dent in the floor at Gogol's feet as he busts through.]

-- Don't do that!

response to network post; text, improvisedfate

[bloodyashes]

Would these discussions be kept confidential?

text, loveandpeace

[ax_iom]

Yes. If you want them to.

[plentyfriendly]

[Phi doesn't announce herself by replying, she just drops by the magic lab.]

Have enough time for one more?

[ax_iom]

Of course, it's no trouble. I don't think we've met yet?

[new person who dis]

[fifthreplacement]

[After the mess that was manifesting his last weird lot of Fissure magic, Sync figures it can't hurt to go and see if there's anything he can learn from this magic lab thing. And maybe he can work out some new things with fonons too.

So he drops by after awhile, knocking lightly on the door as he enters. He figures making sure people know he's there is important for the not accidentally magic to the face]

Hey.

[ax_iom]

Oh, hello! Welcome.

[has lily met this guy yet... today is a blur of people, it's hard to remember, but]

Are you here for the experimenting?

[matchmakes]

[Robin's actually got a few books tucked under his arm when he pokes his head in.]

I don't suppose you're getting tired of people taking you up on your offer yet, are you?

[ax_iom]

Not at all! Come on in.

[She's waving...]

I'm Lily. You?

[heartofdragons]

Yeah! All of that stuff sounds super fishy, there's gotta be something we can do about it! I can fight, my power...

It's not really, um, magical, but... [She mumbles a little bit, then shakes it off with a smile.]

Oh! I also have Pokemon! Do you mean you could help teach them new moves, maybe? I know there's other trainers here!!

[ax_iom]

I... can try? What are "Pokemon"?

[bastilashan]

[Bastila definitely wants to explore her powers. There are those who have researched the Force, but she does not know very much about it. So, that same afternoon she shows up in the lab.]

Hello?

[nor_iron_bars]

Heya.

[Jail waves casually from where she's sitting, perched on top of a lab table.]

[coagmentatio]

[ Aiden's hesitant to show up, at all, but he does eventually do so. He glances from Jail, and then pauses on Lily before giving a semi-awkward wave. ]

Hi... I'm Aiden.

[ He's so fucking good at this. ]

I'm a little new to using the magic I have, since the stuff was way more dangerous to use, back home... but I'll see what I can do as far as explanations go.

[nor_iron_bars]

[Jail waves back, less awkwardly.]

Hey, no sweat- everybody's gotta start somewhere, right?

So, obvious first questions: what do you do, magic-wise, and what do you mean by "dangerous"?
