25th Gryffindor Note [Action/Voice]

[loyalotter]

[ Hermione's been thinking about the DA and what Xion talked to her about a few days ago. As far as she's concerned, it's high time the DA's started to get actively involved in Luceti. It's high time they became protectors and not just a secret society. So, for all you DA members (check the OOC post), she's looking out for you all to talk to you.

After a few minutes, as she hangs out on the porch of House 26, she opens up her journal for a voice post. ]

If you all had the chance to protect someone or a group of people, would you do it?

[A few minutes later, she adjusts the question:]

Rather, if you had the chance to protect someone using magic that wasn't your own, something you would have to work on often with another group of like-minded people, would you do it?

[She can be found either on the porch or in the Welcome Center for actiony things.]

[AHH answering-- communication-- polite, polite. Quiet.]

Y-Yes. Iria... Spada... Hermana... I would. [...but um] Why do you ask?

voice;

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

I wondered how many hero-types Luceti has right now.

[ voice ]

[savethelastchip.livejournal.com]

Of course. [ Because he figures it's the least he can do. ] I don't think I could forgive myself if I didn't at least try.

[ voice ]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

I feel the same way. It's nice to know there are others who feel the same.

[gandrism.livejournal.com]

Is there a good reason not to?

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

No, not as far as I'm concerned. Maybe I ought to have phrased the question differently.

If you had the chance to protect someone using magic that wasn't your own, would you do it?

[voice]

[knighted-lion.livejournal.com]

Yes. To both of them.

[voice-locked]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

And you'd agree to help when called on, perhaps to help protect people you didn't even know?

[ Voice ]

[apocalypsefall.livejournal.com]

Yes, absolutely yes to both. Why would you not if it was to protect someone?

[ Voice ]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

I suppose if it would endanger someone else, but even then, I'd likely try to save both somehow.

[Voice]

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

... I think a lot of people here have had to make that choice already.

[Voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. How would you say they have?

[She is gauging interest, okay.]

[Voice]

[wanderer-jack.livejournal.com]

Without a moment's hesitation, yes, I would protect them. And though I cannot speak for experience in learning magic, I have trained with others to learn their own unique skills and techniques while teaching them how to defend themselves from attackers using the knowledge I have collected over years of training...and fighting.

[Voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Magic isn't something you're familiar or comfortable with?

[voice]

[the-soother.livejournal.com]

Of course!

[A moments pause as he contemplates the revised question.]

Oh. I can't use magic. [He sounds a bit hesitant.] At least not my own world's. I understand that Luceti has it's own kind though.

[voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Luceti has what's called Filial Magic. I assume you haven't considered learning any of it yet.

voice

[shrikestrikes.livejournal.com]

[... Why would you bother to ask a question and then rephrase it like that?]

Why do you wanna know?

voice

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[She has her reasons :T]

Call me curious. I'd like to see how many people think like this here.

[ voice ]

[adeadringer.livejournal.com]

If I could? Definitely.

[ elena? not the strongest of fighters. but she'll do whatever she's capable of to protect who she loves. (like attempt to turn herself over to the oldest vampire in history.) ]

[ voice - locked ]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[Well, hey, she got a good vibe from Elena. That's a start, right?]

Have you wanted to try learning Filial magic yet or has no one told you about it?

[eidolon-soul.livejournal.com]

[Rydia doesn't mind Welcome Center company, of course. She smiles over at Hermione whenever she enters.]

Hello! How are you today?

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[Then company she will get! Hermione smiles in response as she sets up her area.]

Hello, Rydia! I'm doing well. How have you been? It feels like ages since we last really spoke.

[Voice]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

It sounds like home. I'd do it again.

[Voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

So you've had experience protecting people? [Bookworms they may be, but Hermione doesn't feel like she really knows Ami yet and that's probably been her fault.]

[i_speak_softly]

A few months ago I would have said no. But now... maybe yes.

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

What changed your mind?

[Voice]

[oncebright.livejournal.com]

That would depend on many things. [It has been a very long time since Mogget has had free will in the matter of helping people. Normally, he'd say no, but perhaps it would be different if he had a choice.]

[Voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Such as?

voice

[lunarianlegacy.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

[No hesitation on Ceodore's part whatsoever.]

voice

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

You'd be willing to protect people you didn't know while potentially using magic you weren't familiar with?

[Voice]

[redheaded-rock.livejournal.com]

I think I would, yes. Why are you asking?

[[ooc;; A bit of a placeholder here, I'm sorry. I'll hit it when I can~]]

[Voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

I'm curious to find out how many people have been learning Filial magic and whether or not they've put any thought into what they might use it for.

[ooc: totally fine! Take your time \o]

voice;

[magnifien.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

[ been there, done that. still doing that. ]

Well, not with magic, per say, but by whatever means I could.

voice;

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Say you could learn a form of magic. Would you use it to do so?

audio;

[tothelibrary.livejournal.com]

[ holy relevant to dawn's interests, batman. ]

Been there, done that. Also, yes. In a heartbeat.

audio;

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

So, you'd be willing to learn something new and use it to help others?

[Work with her. She's testing the field here.]

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Yes.

Depending on the people, but almost certainly yes.

[voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Is there any reason you would refuse?

[voice]

[folklorist]

If there was no other option left...of course. Using magic of different nature would take a bit getting used to. Though in theory it's all technically the same. A fire spell is a fire spell, just the means of how said spell is preformed I suppose.

[voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it is the same, only with a different technique for its use. Though, I've found it's helpful to learn other magic in order to understand what I already possess.

[Kind of. It's more a prompting statement, okay.]

[Voice]

[hisdarkmark]

I'll skip answering the question in favor of just asking...what is it that you're planning now? [Really, he's tempted to just go find her, but still. Appearances must be kept...for at least five minutes.]

[Voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

Do you really want to know?
