[ Today Helios can be found in his usual haunts. He’ll take a day off from the library to practice his magic in the afternoon after school. Anyone near the edge of town of by the lake will hear and see crackles of thunder, loud bangs of fire and flashes of light erupting along the coastline of the lake itself. It’s out of the way enough that it won’t affect anyone but people can still see it from the edge of town. There’s a few targets made of clay, dirt, and mud all around the area should anyone actually venture out to see what’s going on. Each clay figure is sporting different elementally inflicted wounds. Helios himself has a worked up a good sweat at least and he’ll wipe his brow free before going to his journal. He’ll be standing in the middle of it all with a satisfied look on his face. ]

I was wondering if anyone would like to have a spar. Ah, well, a magical one that is. I-I’ve been neglecting my duties to practice for a while now, and since the weather is nice today I thought it’d be good to get some practice in. [ The Battle Dome scares him, okay? Otherwise he would have used that to train but…how does he technology? ] I’m by the lake if anyone would like to join me for a few one on one sessions. [ And here he’ll pause for a moment before continuing to talk. ]

But beside that. There’s a magic club here that I-I’ve also been neglecting, which is unfair to the members who joined it some time ago. I was wondering if anyone would like to meet, perhaps this Saturday by the beach. I’ve been meaning to get some ideas and thoughts about a certain flying ship, but I haven’t actually made much progress on my own. I-I’d really love to chat and speak with you all again, new arrivals are welcome to stop by as well. It’s pretty much open to everyone, really, there’s no limitations even if you’re not a magic user yourself. There will be food and drink as is customary for our meetings. So bring yourself and a healthy appetite!

[ Some people just like learning about it and that’s fine too. ] So I-I’ll be in touch and you can always contact me via the journals if you wish to speak in private! Thank you for your time and f-for listening. I’ll be out at the lake for a little while longer, so there’s no need to rush.

[ It helps him think out here, the peace and quiet and solitude of it all. So many things have happened recently especially at house 44. Yunna leaving this morning is the main thing in particular and Valentine’s Day was still lingering in his mind as well. He just needs a momentary break from it to clear his head. ] ]

Mhm! It's sorta my main thing. [One half of it really.]

Ah it is? I-I know we've met a few weeks ago, but I didn't even think to ask at the time! [ But now is as good a time as any, right? ]

What sort of magic are you used to using?

Elemental magic, mainly. Though I do know some supportive magic as well, which includes spells like slow fall and haste. [She names them off just for the sake of giving him an idea.]

Ah so you're a user of elemental magic as well! It seems like there's a good few of us then. [ Which is exciting news indeed, yes. ] Hm those might be helpful spells for the ship if it ever gets built. They could be invaluable for the, ah, mechanisms to slow the descent of the ship.

So long as those mechanisms are built specifically to handle arcane energy, they should do just fine. Oh! And I think I still have the runes sketched out somewhere that we can inscribe into the machinery! [She's going to go off and skim through her notebooks just to make sure.]

I'm sure we could make it so that they do. It's not as if we don't have people who are good at building magical device here. [ He may have to talk to a few people about it though. ]

I'd love to see them, if-if you can find them. There's no need to rush though! This is probably going to take some time after all.

Hmm, yeah, you're probably right. Something like this will take quite some time. [Though she's still looking forward to it.]

And the runes that could be used for a flying ship should be in one of these notebooks. [This is where she sets down a rather large stack of notebooks, all of them haveing purple covers and labeled P-0, P-1, P-2, and so on.]

Or in all of them. Depends on what we'll use. I should probably present these at the meeting, just so that all the members can have a look.

It's a big project but I'm sure with enough people we'll be able to get it done in no time! [ Or so he hopes. There's a lot of experienced magic users here so Helios has no doubts about people's skills here. ]

Oh. [ His eyebrows will lift as he sees those books on Karis' end. ] That's fantastic, I'd definitely would love to have a look through those. If you don't mind bringing them to meeting on Saturday.

I don't mind at all! I may bring some of my other notebooks too, but these ones have the majority of runes that could potentially be quite helpful with the projects.

That would be wonderful, thank you. I appreciate all the help you're offering towards the club. It's very generous of you.

I'm always willing to lend a hand to any of my fellow magic users. [She did so at home, why not in Luceti as well?]

[ Helios smiles and the gratitude shows in his tone and in his posture. ]

Thank you then for the generous offer. It'll definitely be to good use!

[She gives Helios a rather casual salute.] No problem. I'm just happy to see one of the major things I've learned getting some use again.
