0.3a Neighborhood Kids

Taking a moment to stoke his courage, Daryl moves up the driveway a bit and calls out to the redhead. She gets up and walks toward him, brushing her long hair out of her face.

"Hey, haven't seen you around here before, I'm Chandra"

"I'm Daryl, just moved in a couple of streets down. Out and seeing what the neighborhoods like"

The black haired boy is now standing beside Chandra, and coughs lightly before introducing himself.

"I'm Jace, I live across the street over there."
He doesn't seem particularly pleased, and with the way he's standing with Chandra, he seems pretty protective of her. Chandra seems to be amused by it. Seems like these two have known each other for a while.

[] Ask Chandra something - Write in
[] Ask Jace something - Write in
[] Use some magic before talking (3 Magic Available)
[] Just say that you were introducing yourself before going back to exploring the Neighborhood

About the motor, how about this:
Scan(lvl1. Matter, Mind, Manipulation):
- Allows user to see and remember object he touch and all its part in the entirety
Scan(lvl2, Matter, Mind, Manipulation)
- Allows user to see and remember inner workings of an object he touch.
Scan(lvl3, Matter, Mind, Energy, Manipulation)
- Allows user to capture the object down to the last detail

And then

Print(lvl1, Mind, Matter , Transmutation):
- Allows user to create object scanned by transmuting other materials into it

Basically, we go to the store and touch engine. Now we know how it look like from inside. Go home, and use print to create twenty or so parts engine is made from via Print. Then just put the together, using magic if needs be.

Although we should be careful about copying engine, since its ID won't be in company database.

Yeah, i'm ripping Archer off here.

As for current vote, i don't think that trying to mindread almost certain mages is a good idea. On the other hand, it is as good way as any to discover if they are mages.

I'm thinking there's no need to break out the magic just yet.

What? Not use magic as our end-all-be-all hammer to use on the world of nails around us? Use our intrinsic abilities as a human, that we've gotten by with for all our life? I don't understand! :p

About the motor, how about this:
Scan(lvl1. Matter, Mind, Manipulation):
- Allows user to see and remember object he touch and all its part in the entirety
Multi-Elements, would be a Lvl 3 spell, requiring 2 lvl 2 spells with similar themes as prerequisites.
Also needs another Manipulation aspect to fix the scan to memory, and a Transmutation to enhance the memory to being perfect.

Scan(lvl2, Matter, Mind, Manipulation)
- Allows user to see and remember inner workings of an object he touch.
Same as above. Also redundant since the above spell does the same thing.
Scan(lvl3, Matter, Mind, Energy, Manipulation)
- Allows user to capture the object down to the last detail
Again, same as the first spell.

And then

Print(lvl1, Mind, Matter , Transmutation):
- Allows user to create object scanned by transmuting other materials into it
Multi-Elements, means Lvl 3 spell, like the scanning spell. Also needs Manipulation to shape the materials, and another Manipulation to properly follow the scan memory.

Basically, we go to the store and touch engine. Now we know how it look like from inside. Go home, and use print to create twenty or so parts engine is made from via Print. Then just put the together, using magic if needs be.

Although we should be careful about copying engine, since its ID won't be in company database.

Actually, it's ID would be in the database, since it would be the same as the engine you copied. Overall, that is a valid plan. You just need to get more XP. A lot more XP to actually do it.
 
Well, point of having multiple Scan levels is to, well, have prerequisite Scan levels needed or that level 3. Different levels are .. different. Level 1 would only give you 3d image of object and parts, lvl 2 would show how they work while lvl3 would show materials object is made of and similar.

And i thought that i could only use same element once. Or rather, that writing it once would be enough.

Hmm, how much XP we would need for that route? Ability to copypaste object will be good even after we finish current engine.


E: Also, vote

The problem is that you used multiple elements in those spells, automatically making them Lvl 3. You can make a Matter/Manipulation spell for simple sensing of matter. Nothing too detailed, but good for finding out what shapes are on the other side of a wall, where studs are in a wall, etc. A lvl 2 version would use an extra manipulation aspect for more detail, but you wouldn't understand how it works, you need Mind element for that. Lvl 3 would be Scan.

Probably about 30-40 or so to get Scan and Print, along with their Pre-reqs.

Daryl smiles and nods, "So, what's there to do around here?"

Jace rolls his eyes, while Chandra elbows him in the ribs before answering. "There's not much here, most anything interesting is up in Dayton. But there's Jade, the only teenage club in Dryden, and now that I'm 18," *does a little dance* "I can finally go without 'Adult Supervision'[/fingerquotes], even thought they don't serve alcohol."

Jace speaks up from where he's rubbing at his side where Chandra elbow'd him. "The Fun Center is pretty nice, bowling alley, putt-putt, an arcade, and a burger joint." Now it's Chandra's turn to roll her eyes.

"Maybe if you're fifteen it is. The Dayton Mall isn't too much farther from it though, up where the interstates meet. It's huge, with a ton of other stores and stuff around it."

"There's also the Milden Park, it's got some nice basketball courts"

"You and your basketball, already looking for recruits, Jace?"

"Half the team graduated! Our defense was almost completely wiped out, we don't have enough reserves to move them all up, and our best shooter is gone. If Daryn here can shoot a ball even halfway decently, you're damn right I'll recruit him"

Chandra snorts, "Thank you, Captain Basketball. Though, the park is a good place for a summer party. In fact, we should have a party! One last party before summer ends and we all have to march back to school next week." She looks back to Daryl with a calculating look in her eyes. "We can welcome you properly to the city then, and in a way much more fun that all of us meeting while scrambling to get to class."

Daryl nods, this was going pretty well. "That sounds great, but you don't have to go through all that trouble on my account."

Chandra gives you a little shove on your biceps. "Don't be silly, besides, it's a pretty good excuse to have a party, and there's always time for parties."

"Cool, so, you guys going to be Seniors at Dryden?"

Jace actually lightens up a bit at this prompt. "Yep, they just finished building the new expansion, we're going to have an entire building just for Seniors, with our own gym and cafeteria, and Dryden let's us leave school for lunch. It's going to be awesome this year."

Chandra pulls her cell out of her pocket "Let's get our numbers so I can tell you when the party is" Jace pulls his out too, though with less enthusiasm than she did.

Edited: I was actually going for asking whomever seemed most likely to answer yes, since we're supposed to be good at social stuff, that seemed to be reasonable for us to have a guess at, but asking both like this is better.

A whole building just for seniors? That sounds strange and fairly suspicious to me.

It happens. It happened in my school, except that the seniors were gven the old buildings, and new ones built for the shitlingsjuniors.

But yeah, it is probably some sort of scheme involving gathering all the young sorcerors in one place for unknown and no doubt nefarious purposes. [/paranoia]

Hmmmm.

Chandra seems quite friendly, and Jace friendly enough. We seem to have made a positive impression on both of them. I suspect that they are siblings, given their apparent cohabitation, closeness, and the fact that the 'maybe if you're 15' line sounds very like something a sibling would say. (Especially if the age difference between them is much smaller than the 3 years it implies if taken at face value.)

Do we want to be recruited for basketball? With how we can cheat, we should be able to excel at it, and excelling at sports is a boon for social. On the other claw, that is likely going to take a great deal of time and magic away from the car. For the moment, I think I will hold off on talking about basketball, until someone can convince me it is worthwhile.

I like the write-in @Eri. I think we have made a good enough impression to be able to press our advantage like that.

[X] Talk to Chandra about some of the parties around here
[X] Talk about

[X] Ask if one (or both) of them want to be your guide(s) in exploring the Neighborhood?
 
Too vague to be a write in, you need to commit to choosing one of them, or both of them. Right now it looks like you want your cake and to eat it too.
Surely we could ask if either or of them would be interested in showing us around?
 
As it was written, it was either/both. It didn't say one way or the other. It needs to either ask one of them, or ask both of them. You can't have both options at the same time.
I think the idea was not to preclude having both of them if they were up for it, but if you say so.

The way it was written made it seem like you wanted to ask one, and ask both, at the same time, in a sort of Quantum choice. This is a discussion, ask Chandra to guide you around, Jace to guide you around, or ask both of them if they can guide you around.

Of course, you may want to read their introduction post again.

Oh wait, hang on, they were gardening or something weren't they?

Edited to about what I was going for. Which was adjusting to circumstances after you'd talked to them a bit, I found that reasonable for us to do...

We have no time for basketball. We are too busy inventing magicball.
