This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Helios anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:

Oh there shouldn't be. I-I know it's a bit...off putting but it does work. It's definately- [ just a slight pause as his eyes glow bright green for a second and the circle that's now drawn into the grass and dirt lights up with a blue light. ] -worth the trouble.

[ He'll straighten from his position on the floor. A small nod and a smile as he goes over his work before looking at Splinter and Donatello. ] One down, three more to go!

[ He nods. ] Back and the sides should do well enough in setting up a perimeter.

[Don well knows that some things are worth spilling blood for. He's just not used to seeing it done in this strange preemptive way.]

[It's hateful and horrifying - would he have asked Helios to do this if he had known? - but he'll follow the wizard around the house, unable to take his eyes off the proceedings.]

[Splinter watches as well, walking alongside his son.]

Does most of your magic need blood of some sort?

[folklorist]

Usually only summonings, teleportation seals and of course barriers. Everything else is pretty simple and doesn't require it. [ There's also blood magic but that's pretty taboo even for Helios. ]

But it's generally not used very much, as I'm sure you can see why. Very unsettling to most and even to the one casting the spell it's sometimes detrimental to their health. At least here I have healing magic so it doesn't make the recovery time as long!

[i_speak_softly]

You don't have healing magic in your own world? [And you do this anyway?]

[ninjacane]

[And with his son back to asking questions as he usually does, Splinter just observes.]

[folklorist]

Healing magic...is a very specific kind of magic in my world. It's hard to learn, nothing like here, where anyone can learn it. Most mythical creatures have some form of it but they're not so easily persuaded to revealing their secrets.

[ Helios will begin on the next circle finishing it faster than the last one as he gets back into the motions, and symbols, of the circle. ]

To be fair this isn't a common occurrence in my world. We do it rather sparingly...since summoning isn't exactly, er, legal.

[i_speak_softly]

Summoning?

[Questions make him feel more in control of a situation.]
