Who: ANYONE
Where: Along one of those high ridges around the Lacanis dorms.
When: Day 149, morning
What: Experimenting.

[And there's a tiny standing on one of those high altitude ridges, right at the edge, looking down. Though...something might be odd.

That's certainly Lacerta's green. But the maid outfit has the colors switched for their usual tiny. Not to mention the white hair. Or green eyes. Skin is kind of darker or maybe that's just the slight glow around her making her look darker? And what's that little logo on the apron? Weird.

Of course, that might not be a concern as she JUMPS OFF THE RIDGE. And no, that is NOT a safe falling height.]

	They reduce your capabilities if they're superhuman. Zack and Cloud used to be able to practically put their fists through a stone wall; now they can barely crack it. For me, they limit the power of some effects and the amount of mana I can draw at a time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...I guess I can see where that has a benefit to evening things out for the people who don't have those abilities. But I can imagine that it sucks for you to be held back so much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not particularly fond of that part, but I've gotten used to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I guess there's not much of a choice... What happens if you take it off? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...they didn't tell you? You lose all of your memories until you put it back on, and you can't form new ones; no long-term recall. You have all of your innate abilities at full strength, so it's a decent last-ditch option for physical fighters, but... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shakes his head All I knew was to not take it off... That's not good. Even for people who don't need memories to use their abilities, they probably wouldn't know what they were doing... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's the problem. It's a limitation placed on us by the Judges, after a powerful mage tried to rebel against them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clap_your_hands 2010-07-21 03:47 am UTC (link)
	So it wasn't always like this? Were you here when that happened? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nods He attacked Trickster on his throne during a game. Used some pretty potent spells. For a moment, we all thought it had worked, but then something released the demon bound in his body that was powering his magic. We managed to bring it down together, and then King instated the limiters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clap_your_hands 2010-07-21 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Mm... I guess I can see why he'd do something like that, but that still sucks. I guess without the bracers, no one had the wards in place, either... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2010-07-21 04:40 am UTC (link)
	nods It's all tied to the bracers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clap_your_hands 2010-07-21 04:48 am UTC (link)
	I've noticed it's different for you when you're around people who have them down... That must have been hard, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

*smiles a little* You noticed that? Most people don't.

...it's like seeing people with blank skin where their faces should be, or hearing everyone speak in the same monotone. I don't look without permission, but I can see the shape of their minds, and get little pieces of what they're feeling, if the bracers are down. With them up...it's a wall, and everyone's the same.

	nods It's not by much but I could see you relax a bit after I lowered mine the first time. It's why I've kept doing it around you, it seemed like something you appreciated. pauses for a moment and cringes a bit, imagining faceless people Ugh, that sounds awful... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2010-07-21 05:14 am UTC (link)
	Believe me, it's definitely appreciated. ...I sort of get used to it, but it's still disconcerting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clap_your_hands 2010-07-21 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm sure... I don't think I could relate to someone without a face, I'll keep mine down when I'm around here. I'm guessing your teammates do the same thing, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2010-07-21 05:53 am UTC (link)
	Thanks, Ed. nods Unless they're feeling something strong and don't want me to worry. It's useful in a lot of ways, actually; I can speak to them telepathically this way, and reach them even if they're not in the vicinity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clap_your_hands 2010-07-21 06:02 am UTC (link)
	Yeah? That is really useful. Explains why Masamune showed up so quickly the other day, too... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2010-07-21 06:06 am UTC (link)
	nods I called him when I thought we might need more than one of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clap_your_hands 2010-07-21 06:13 am UTC (link)
	Makes sense. If you hadn't been turned away, you probably would have needed his help. As far as I know, it took a lot of people to move all those rocks... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2010-07-21 06:21 am UTC (link)
	gestures at himself ironically I'm not exactly a physical labor sort of person, though I've got a few tricks. Masamune's one of the ones with beyond-human strength, though, so he'd have been helpful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clap_your_hands 2010-07-21 06:25 am UTC (link)
	Oh yeah? He really doesn't look like it... I didn't help with any of it, but I don't know what I really could have done anyway. They had everything more or less finished by the time I left the next morning, anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2010-07-21 06:34 am UTC (link)
	He's a pretty impressive fighter. nods I guess they're going to try to tame some of the lake lizards and keep them there. Which reminds me: are you still in a walking mood? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	clap_your_hands 2010-07-21 06:36 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's what it sounded like. And yeah, I could do some more walking around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blue_mind_group 2010-07-21 06:45 am UTC (link)
	I need to get a morning catch in, and I was thinking of looking around for something I remembered in my last memory. Feel like keeping me company? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
