[center][h3]Seidoujima Island - Starbucks[/h3][/center] [@Lonewolf685][@Kafka Komedy] [hr] As Edward talked away, their orders had arrived, to which everyone began to take to at their own paces while chatting. Rodrick was listening intently to the explanation of Golden Week, while Helena was quite enjoying her cake almost without a care. She seemed to be quite a sweet tooth. Regardless... [color=7ea7d8]"Rod and... Hel...? W-well, hm, I see, so this country celebrates gratitude towards others for a whole week. How wonderful, Arcanis has no such tradition unfortunately, we mainly have harvest festivals, and family festivals held in the villages of the ruling lords, displaying regional specialties"[/color], he began to make conversation. He wasn't sure what to feel about that nickname. Rod was a rather... Informal way to refer to him, which was almost a shock, and Hel... For Helena? Well, that aside, [color=7ea7d8]"It is wonderful to see so many different kinds of people here, I can tell Edward here is someone in-tune with the common man, a very valueable trait, and that a beast race would be here too is a surprise too. May I ask, what reasons do you three have for your study? I would be interested to hear your dreams and motivations"[/color], he was formal, well as you would expect, and by three he also included Ramyu. The way he spoke though was almost a little belittling, but it came out smooth, quick, and at an amiable tone that would have women melting at his feet. He was a skilled speaker for sure.

He began to walk away, turning back with an angry glare, [color=aba000]"midnight!"[/color], and then a bit further away, [color=aba000]"department store right?!"[/color], and soon he was out of sight. Little did Mason know, this little punk was an idiot, and would probably spend the rest of the day figuring out where the department store was. Regardless, the rest of the day for Mason should be rather standard. With Golden Week, things should also get busier too. Shortly after that strange kid left, the food court would soon be swarmed with shoppers from a post-shopping spree, looking to get something to go for dinner, or hanging around in the food court for dinner itself. No rest for the weary. Though, he would at least get off right after the dinner rush. [center][h3]Silver Gate Academy Library[/h3][/center] [@Celsius] [hr] [color=f7941d]"Elliot... Poet... Hmmm"[/color], it took the young boy a bit, he was not the most familiar with Earth's literature, but... [color=f7941d]"He was, both, wasn't he? Hmmmmm, to be frank I had thought I would be in Britain for this prior to joining the Mages Academy, so I looked up many literary figures from English backgrounds"[/color], but of course, he was then informed he would be in Japan. Silver Gate Academy was not the only place that had a link between the two worlds, the various magical organizations around the world had one, but of course Silver Gate was one of the only ones that had an academy linking the two. After this he listened intently to Yasu's response to his question he almost jumped, [color=f7941d]"True magic?!"[/color], of course unknown to Yasu, this was a huge deal. She would recall an almost equal scale of reaction from a certain professor. His face was in both disbelief and some form of excitement. [color=f7941d]"D-Do you have any idea w-what that is?! So casually- s-show me! I wish to see it! I-I must confirm it!",[/color] he outstretched his hand, standing up from his chair. His small voice was so suddenly quite loud. He seems to know what True Magic is, rather, everyone who has delved into magical theory would know. Yasu hopefully has been given the gist of it before, but true magic requires nothing to occur. The philosopher's stone of magical theory. [center][h3]Seidoujima Island - Market District Magumaguro Ramen[/h3][/center] [@I-Am-X] [hr] [color=6ecff6]"Hmmmm? Sounds... Unusual, I cannot imagine it, but it appears the process is simple and you are familiar. Perhaps a demonstration sometime would be preferrable?"[/color], she responded, she was clearly having a little bit of trouble imagining it, the image in her head was a bit different to what was described. She clasped her hands together, [color=6ecff6]"Ah, I think I understand, it is like a unique herb or regional ingredient then"[/color], she seems to somewhat understand what miso is... At least as far as what it was in the bigger picture. As far as the understanding of the actual ingredient, well perhaps not. She finally began to dig into her ramen, that had arrived at the same time as Ultana's. The way she ate was rather refined, but the heat of the food made her sweat a bit faster. It wasn't unusual, and perhaps being used to colder climates had this effect on her, so she ended up taking breaks to breathe and cool herself down. Her refined voice panting in such a way would get looks from people, but she seemed to be enjoying the ramen at least. [color=6ecff6]"But truly? How strange, that we come from such extremely different regions, ice and fire"[/color], she noted. It was a strange coincidence. She began to purse her lips... In thought, she then looked to Ultana, then back to her meal. [color=6ecff6]"But... Are you truly just a miner, studying in a school such as this? I can tell by those arms, the way you move, how to put it... You're more a warrior than a miner aren't you?"[/color]
