[DAY 236] [Video|Action|Open]
[The voice cuts on to someone whose voice is fading in and out in volume, as if they are moving the microphone closer and further from them. The girl hasn’t seen something this advanced before, but it doesn’t take much to realize that it is transmitting her to somewhere.]

Oh how interesting. Is this like one of those radios I’ve heard speak of? I had never imagined they were this…small. Certainly something capable of wave communication would need to be much bigger to catch the right waves? How do you fit all of the wires into such a small package?

And what does “video” mean? [Obviously she is looking at the side of the communicator only to flick the button. Suddenly the screen is full of golden brown eyes and pale blonde hair. She pulls it back a bit more.] I’m not quite sure how I came to be here, but this place is full of curious things. It’s nothing like any prison I have heard of. Your country must be very wealthy to afford it. How does the shield around the prison stay intact? I haven’t seen a Mage since I woke—

--Oh, I’m sorry, that’s very rude of me! Good morning, my name is Toul. I hope I’m not bothering anyone, but I do have some questions that it would be very helpful to me if I could have them answered. Has anyone seen a pale girl with brown hair and eyes and a dark tattoo over her left eye?

[Toul has been wandering for hours, trying to figure out whether or not this is a truly creative dream, an illusion, or if she is truly stuck in a prison. It's nothing like one she's ever heard of herself. She manages to come by the clothings shops in Sector 4 and is searching for things close to what she's used to. The jumpsuit just isn't comfortable. Too restrictive. It would be easy enough to run into her as she walks and expect that she'll definitely greet and introduce herself to anyone she sees.]

	Ah...well that would explain a few things for me. [Like why she has not be able to access her mystic arts since arriving. But then she realizes--]--A moment, do you mean our abilities are sealed for a whole day? All of them? [That means she's been giving everyone the wrong description!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As far as I know. They don't take away "natural" abilities like doing math in your head, but magic, superpowers, and that kind of stuff is usually blocked. [He figures that she's just bummed because she can't use magic or whatever powers she has, which is a completely normal reaction. He'd almost punched a wall when he realized he'd lost his speed!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So it's only...learned abilities? ["Superpowers" is a term she doesn't really understand.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not exactly. [How does he explain this...] I mean more like "mystical" or "supernatural" abilities. [He even does the airquotes with his fingers!] If you were born with the ability to fly, you couldn't do that today. You can still remember how to recite a spell, but if you tried to cast it, it wouldn't work either. (Reply to this) (Parent)
