{1st Clow Card; username:sakurakinomoto; video}

[keystaff]

[When the feed starts, there's initially a frowning green eye and light brown bangs, before Sakura holds her necklace a little farther in recording, trying to check it.]

Um, this is....this is working, right? I've only replied to others with this so far. Ah, I think that's it!

[Well. She guesses it is working anyway. There's a shift of movement as she gets a little more comfortable, sitting cross-legged on her bed and brushing some bangs from her face, biting her lip and taking a deep breath before starting.

I'm Sakura! I just wanted to thank everyone that's helped me here so far. I know this isn't easy and there's....a lot going on, but if we work together, we'll figure it out and get home! I'm sure of it! I heard others also got things? Some from home, or animals or something? I got a new spell. So, I wanted to let everyone know I can help if you get hurt, okay? Or, I can try. At least try help with the worst of it until we get you somewhere safe to a doctor, I mean.

[Is she rambling? Possibly. A little. But she figures the more help she can offer, the more useful she would be and this way people would know to potentially come seek her if they were injured, right? If she doesn't say anything, how are they supposed to know who might be able to assist them if they were to get hurt in more fighting or something? Not to mention finally mentioning the other magic she has available.]

Besides the Clow cards, this is one other way I can help. I want to do my best. To get all of us back home! Or....those that want to go back, anyway. I know I was in the middle of things, so. I can't be the only one. But I can't do anything about that from here, so I just have to do my best to get home and figure it.

[But. That's not why she's talking like this. Sakura shakes her head, giving a light laugh and looking almost sheepish for trailing off like that, almost apologetic.]

A-anyway, I guess that was the main thing. Other than wondering what everyone else makes of all this. The...the warning. And at that last festival, I mean. What we can do about this? And the sun. I should-- this is enough. Um, thanks for listening!

[As if this were some speech at school. She gives a slight bow of sorts, the motion of it swaying her necklace before she turns it off, rather flushed but pleased with herself at the same time in that last glimpse. She has been meaning to speak up with the necklace for a while and just been so busy and distracted with everything.]

[ oh no how cute?! It's endearing, really, to see someone so eager to help everyone.

Her positive attitude and determination towards this whole ALASTAIR deal is his favorite. Not enough positive people around, they are the rarest unicorns. Well, first things first. ]

Congratulations. On your new spell. [ it seems like something to congratulate over anyway, it's a new skill!

Oh, and because she introduced herself... ] Sakura, right? Date Masamune. [ only polite to introduce himself in turn. ]

video.

[keystaff]

['PARTY'? But still, he seems cheerful enough, so she can't help but smile all the same at the wondering on that username, before he introduces himself properly.]

Yes! Even with the Clow Cards, I couldn't heal like that. I guess this is a chance to possibly learn all sorts of different magic as we go to other worlds like this though. So, it's Masamune-san?

[Ever polite and still in the habit of using titles, unless someone tells her otherwise. She still sometimes seems sheepish and unsure with some of the names around here, adjusting when people tell her not to worry about using honorifics.]

video.

[inroad]

[ yep party. All the party. if you hang around him long enough you will realize he does shut up about parties...

Considering he is from 1500s Japan and a clan head to boot, the honorific is actually very normal to him. In fact he appreciates her politeness. If they become better acquainted he might give her the ok to drop it if she wants, but for now it seems like something they both understand, even if just as a reminder of their culture. ] That's fine. Sakura-chan, then, is maybe more familiar to you?

video.

[keystaff]

Oh! Y-yes. I suppose it is. It's just, not everyone uses those here. Since people are from all sorts of different places, I mean.

[Because she is aware most don't use honorifics. Anywhere outside Japan doesn't have them, even if they might have some similar titles such as 'miss', it's still not quite the same thing. It's familiar, something that instantly has her relaxing a fair bit more in comparison to how nervous and formal she had been.]

video.

[inroad]

That's true. It's okay, though. We can stick together on that part.

[ gives them something in common to relate easier! small things help definitely. ] As for all the stuff, we'll figure something out. That's why we're here, yeah? As long as we stay focused on what our goal is keep out heads up, the rest will fall into place.

[ which could sound not very proactive at first hearing. But focus and keeping a determined natured is the best way to see the opportunities and other clues to solving this. ]

un: levi / video

[powerdriven]

[ it really bothers him, seeing how many kids ALASTAIR has recruited for their own purposes. that's why he can't really view this broadcast without his irritation for it overriding how he might otherwise criticize her form. a small mercy, maybe, given the sight of him peering into his bracelet. ]

Oh, a healing spell, is it? That's good. It should take you off of the front lines. [ gawd why are you adults always telling kids what to do ]

Whoever these bastards are threatening us, they've made it clear their target isn't one group or the other.

video

[keystaff]

Front lines? But this isn't.....

[Isn't...really a war, is it? It doesn't seem quite that official or serious. Or, not yet anyway. But Levi is hardly the first if he's concerned about Sakura's involvement in all of this. But she does listen when he continues, giving a nod.]

That's true. With the last festival, Halloween, it wasn't just a human or a goblin. But both of them. So it's like a warning that this affects everyone. That we should try work together to stop this. I'm just not sure it will be so easy to try explain that to them.

[powerdriven]

[ not yet. maybe he's thinking too much of how the situation looks to be playing out. never mind that even given a different term, there had been situations like the brawl in the city square to contend with already. ]

They saw it for themselves. I can't imagine that all of them must be raring to fight if there's a different solution. [ however, they may not be able to rely on that. ] We need to find a way to speak with their leaders. Their influence is an important tool for us right now.

[keystaff]

Hm. If we could figure a way to talk to them, perhaps. But I'm not sure either side is too keen on that. Or at least, I'm not sure we are supposed to go to the castle. And with the goblins fighting the humans, I don't think most of us would have much luck there....

[If there were a way to negotiate though, without more fighting, that would be ideal. If they could manage that. Perhaps she's too young and hopeful in that respect though.]

[sediments]

Heeey, Sakura.

[ If waving a hand conveyed sound, Sakura would be able to hear it right now. Seeing the younger girl really has lifted his spirits, especially when she's out to share good news. ]

You learned a new spell? How does it work?

audio

[keystaff]

[It takes a moment, but it's easy to recognize the voice.]

Hello!

I'm not sure exactly. I've never had healing magic before now. But I guess in theory it's like magically forcing injuries to stop swelling, knit back together? I'm going to try practice as best I can so I can be ready! Maybe if there's a doctors or something I could offer to help out?

[sediments]

Oh, that's cool. So you don't have to sacrifice a rabbit to the blood moon to make it work? [ He's got an exciting imagination... ] But I think that would help a lot! It doesn't look like they have fancy hospitals here.

[keystaff]

Sacrifice a rabbit....? N-no, nothing like that! [Looking almost sheepish, waving her hands a little in protest and reassurance at the same time.]

But you're right. The hospitals here aren't as well equipped or knowledgeable as the ones back home. So anything I can do to help in that regard would be appreciated, I'm sure.

[dishearten]

clow cards...

are those magic?

( he can't help himself, he has to ask. )

[keystaff]

they are, yes. From Clow-san's magic. But I do have some magic of my own, or I wouldn't have been able to open the book in the first place to accidentally set them loose.

[dishearten]

( his trust of magic doesn't extend terribly far. he thinks he knows Sakura well, sees her as a sweet and considerate girl.

a part of him worries anyway. magic can be a terrible thing, sometimes. )

what sort of magic do you do?
if you don't mind me asking.

[keystaff]

[She never knew about her magic potential until accidentally letting the Cards loose like that. And then ever since she has kind of always been over her head with all this. Even as she strives to keep her friends and family safe. To prevent this eminent 'disaster' if she should fail.]

it's kind of varied. there's cards like the shield or jump or fly that are pretty self explanatory and more of a support or defense. but then there are some that are more offensive like the elements - earthy, firey, watery and windy.

[runningjoke]

Your "new spell." Whatever that means. You mentioned that if someone is "hurt" it would help them.

What does this apply to?

video; un: sakurakinomoto

[keystaff]

[Sakura tilts her head a little at the question. She thought it seemed straightforward enough? Perhaps not.]

Oh. It means if someone gets injured. If there is another fight or while someone is sparring, or has an accident? You know. like a cut or broken bone or something like that? Or, I can at least try, before having it checked by a doctor.

[runningjoke]

Bones and cuts. So nothing without those is what you're saying.

[Considering the things she'd be worried about getting damaged are decidedly not human in nature, the spell probably won't work.]

[keystaff]

Well, I haven't tried it on someone that isn't human....not yet anyway. So I'm not sure if that will work or not.

[A pause. As she kind of stares a little, noting the gem at Peridot's forehead. So familiar.....give her a moment. Then she gasps, pointing at the necklace.]

Um...do--do you know Pearl-san by any chance?

VIDEO (un: sieglindesullivan)

[grunehexe]

[There are quite a few things Sieglinde would like to address, to the point that she didn't know where to start. This is... Sakura. That was her name. The first "friend" she had ever met her own age. Was there a certain way she should speak to her? Or certain topics?

But at least she can start with another commonality.]

- you have learned a spell as well?

VIDEO (un: sieglindesullivan)

[keystaff]

Ah! Sieglinde, hello! I have, yes! Did you learn one too?

[It seems quite a few thus far have also gained something. Whether it be knowledge like a spell or something more physical and material, either from home or gaining something while here. Either way, she is pleased to see the other again, a smile at her lips even in her curiosity.]

[grunehexe]

Yes- I received a scroll the other day, and I have tested its efficiency thoroughly.

[It was like a strange dream- she who had believed she was a witch all her life only to find it wasn't true... Only to find she was now capable of "magic".]

Are your... "Clow cards" a similar sort of magic?

[Both the topic and simply speaking to the other girl are enough to have her looking excited.]

[keystaff]

What can you do with that scroll? Can you help heal people too?

[Or maybe it is something else. She hasn't specified exactly. Sakura bites her lip, considering for a moment before shaking her head.]

The Clow Cards are a little different. They're magical Cards that can take physical form. Before I caught them all, they were causing some trouble after I'd accidentally released them. They can do all sorts of things, and it's mostly me using the magic already in them. Not like this healing spell. That seems to use my own magic, I think. I get a bit more tired with that, from what I have practiced.
