[Rin - Presentations]

[It was luck that Syrlya and Rin were both coming at the same time to argue with the professor that they should be able to skip Rudimentary Illusion Forms. And the professor, surprisingly, agreed--on one condition.

They needed to deliver a presentation to the school about the events of the dungeon that took place in their halls.

Syrlya wasn't sure what that had to do with illusions, but once out of the office he gives Rin a hopeful smile.] That doesn't sound like a terrible way to prove our worth. Do you suppose they are looking for us to describe our use of illusions there?

[Lenalee - Study Buddies]

[And on some school days Syrlya stays after class to sit in the library with his homework, staring intently with a furrowed brow as his pen taps the paper.

He's been like that for ten minutes. Absolutely no progress has been made on this homework. The math sheet nearby appears to have been abandoned halfway through.] Perhaps this was a mistake...

[Anna - Post Dungeon]

[He's out and about when he spots Anna across the path, and with a smile and little regard for traffic he starts crossing to catch up with her.] Well there's a face I have not seen for a while! How are you faring, Anna?

[Lux - Paid Vacation]

[Of course, "vacation" means instead of the hero uniform Syrlya was dressed down much more casually. He has the camera looped around his neck as the stablehand draws out two horses by their reigns for him and Lux--something to make their trip to the Emerald Lakes much easier for a price that Syrlya doesn't mind sparing.

He ogles the horses for a solid minute before turning to Lux with a grin.] Does it matter who sits on which one? I will let you choose first.

[Wildcard]

[Let me know on plurk or PM if you'd like to start any thread with Syrlya, we can work something out!]

[sommer]

I suppose I did. [ She feels strong enough to leave dents of her fists in walls - and she can! ] ...I'm still not sure about what else my powers entail. I always thought I'd be more suitable for magic, but it looks like I'm not.

[chronosynthesis]

Being a Knight is a more physical profession, isn't it? They must have books for study on it somewhere--what sort of magic did you expect yourself to be adept in?

[sommer]

Well... to be honest, I kinda liked making fire magic.

Is that weird? That's probably weird.

[chronosynthesis]

I don't believe it's weird at all. Many elementalists are very fond of it. [A pause.] Where are you taking that bag, exactly? Is it not heavy?

[sommer]

Well, Syr, what I lack in magic, I make up for in ingenuity!

[ And yes, the bag is physically heavy, Anna answers that by setting it in front of them. Thankfully her rank promotion came with an upgrade in physical strength, which is why it's no trouble for her. ]

The idea came to me as I was watching teevee the other day, during a program called "Alone at Home 2: Lost in Something-something". Anyway, the title's not important.

[chronosynthesis]

[Syrlya leans over, as if it will let him suddenly peer into the bag if he turns himself the right way.] Oh? May I ask what this idea is?

[sommer]

Well - do you know anything about making traps? The last time we encountered Noir soldiers, I was getting pursued a lot. [ Probably because they were under strict orders to kill the support units first. ]

Dropping some slippery oil here, some... spiky things there... some mouse traps... it could've made made quite the difference!

[chronosynthesis]

I'm afraid I don't, but it's a clever idea! This is all supplies for crafting traps? [He taps his chin thoughtfully.] They would need to be small enough to carry and throw, I assume. How much you do wish to slow them down? Entirely, or is it more about the element of surprise?

[sommer]

Both! Everything. I don't know. ...I-Is there a huge difference?

[chronosynthesis]

The severity, I suppose? If you only want to shock your enemies, then you do not have to create something quite as dangerous or potent. If you wish to inhibit them you will need something strong enough to force them to stop. Like glue!
