Wrap up (Various)

[Ebiris]

Flying is what Afina does, fluttering downwards over the stairs rather than exercising her legs. She'll let Jaela handle the first kiss conversation on her own.

[Corwin]

"Which one?" Jaela asks, tinkering with her snowflakes as she adds staggered streams of them in every color of the rainbow. It should provide sufficient cover, as well as let her practice properly. "And with whom? You're obligated to tell me these things once you bring them up, it's part of the Mother-Daughter contract."

[Anastasia]

"Yes, Jaela," Hanna calls from the rear, "Speaking of, what was your first kiss? Was it Annalise?"

Mirajane glances back at that, increasing her pace just a bit.

Quick check, note your Balance check modifiers here, y'all. At least you don't need to worry about armor check penalty.

[Ebiris]

Balance is +13

Afina speeds up a little bit to match pace with Mirajane, giving her a quiet nod of approval.

[Corwin]

"Of course not, are you serious?" Jaela calls back incredulously, taking to the air. "I was already nineteen!"

Then she just stares very pointedly at Mirajane with a silent promise to get to the bottom of this, and that the longer she keeps her secret the more awkward it will end up being for her.

[Corwin]

I don't even know what balance is. But I'll try to rely on magic if it becomes critical, to go from +3 to +18

[Anastasia]

Note to self: Jaela+3, Afina+13, Hanna+5, Mirajane+7.

"Then who was it?" Hanna challenges with a grin as ou go on down. The stairs are slippery and the roof is low - flying isn't happening, unless you're small like Afina. Mirajane and Jaela can walk smoothly down, though Hanna bends over, grimaces and steps back. "I'm going to have to sit down and slide my rear down each stair."

[Ebiris]

"It does seem oddly lain out in that sense, since powerful elementals tend towards the large," Afina says, considering Hanna's plight. "Can't you shapechange though?" Isn't that a thing angels do to pass as humans or elves and be inconspicuous?

[Corwin]

"Tue, when we were fourteen," Jaela muses, thinking back on better times. "He died in the first wave, I think, because he quit the training to become a craftsman."

[Anastasia]

"Think about it," Mirajane interjects, "Wherever you are, a passage to Absolute Zero appears if you do the ritual. I suspect that this area is morphic, like a deity's realm, and controlled by something that can enact those changes."

Hanna nods, "I can," she agrees, shifting into a black haired human version of herself. "I'd gotten out of the habit, since I have no need to hide myself on Aurora."

[Corwin]

"I'm so jealous," Jaela says with a snort. "Do you freaks of nature even realize how much hard work it takes to be able to copy your feats just once with a spell? But no, it's all effortless 'I forgot I could do it with a thought whenever'."

[Anastasia]

Hanna laughs a little bit as you start to go down, "Well..."

Mirajane smiles warmly as well, as...

Balance checks, all but Afina.

[Corwin]

07:38 <Tohsaka> roll 1d20+3+15
07:39 <Kobot> Tohsaka rolled 1d20+3+15 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{27}

Recasting Divine Insight after if situation allows for it. Will also precast Sign.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+5 Hanna
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+5 Hanna --> [ 1d20=20 ]{25}
> roll 1d20+7 Mirajane
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+7 Mirajane --> [ 1d20=9 ]{16}

All of you make it down the stairs safely (and Jaela has time to cast). You walk ahead a time, going slowly and carefully when you must walk and flying otherwise. It's a fairly long tunnel and at the end it comes to a raised U platform rising up and then to to a new passage. Over the lip of the U you see a massive chasm, where clear water falls from above, frigid mist coming from it. It plunges down farther than you can see.

Beyond this, you can see the path continues on, going slowly downslope.

[Corwin]

"Have a burst of competence, girls," Jaela says, closing her right hand into a fist. It glows briefly, and then she taps Afina, Hanna and Mirajane with it one at a time.

Channeling a Divine Insight spell into everyone.
