[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.]

Comments

[keystaff]

Exactly. So....this seems like a much bigger scale. I mean, I could....I could try, I'm just not sure if that would actually work. But it might at least be able to help?

[She is something of a mage. Just with a different and more specific set of skills in the use of her magic, as such.]

[grunehexe]

It is one of the more promising possibilities I have heard since our arrival, actually.

[And if there's any way she could assist...]

[keystaff]

I'm not sure what other magic or abilities anyone else might have that might be more useful, really. Someone else might know more or be more powerful than me.

[But if she can help, she will.]

[grunehexe]

Though I've met few healers in this place, magic users seem to be present from several schools... a forum may prove useful.

[magician meeting anyone?

[keystaff]

Schools? Oh, you mean like a meeting, to learn about different kinds of magic?

[It could be interesting. Sakura is still learning so much even just with the Clow Cards, after all. Let alone other branches and uses of magic outside of that.]

[grunehexe]

Indeed- a magicians forum would allow us the chance to discuss the problem of the sun in person, for as long as need be.

[Sieglinde chill not everyone is willing to throw away food and sleep for magic.]

[keystaff]

I guess that wouldn't be a bad idea. If we get everyone together to figure out a plan.

[She's just so used to it just being her with Kero, Tomoyo and Syaoran. But more people's ideas and abilities to put to use to help couldn't hurt, right?]

[grunehexe]

Then it is decided! We should begin recruiting immediately!

[keystaff]

How? Oh, with these? Did you want to ask? I'm not sure if I might try explain this as well as you could.

[grunehexe]

I suppose we could operate by word of mouth at first... How many magicians have you met in this place?

[keystaff]

I suppose. I've met a couple? But some might be a bit more cautious on saying anything or showing what they can do.

[Harry seemed open enough about his. But Merlin and Fai, for example, she could sense theirs but they didn't actually talk about it.]

[grunehexe]

I can understand why... In my world as well witches were persecuted for their abilities...

[Eureka!]

But perhaps if we make it known that the forum is open to anyone, even those with simply an interest in magic, they may be able to feel comfortable attending...

[keystaff]

They were? I don't think many actually know magic really exists, at least back home.

[Aside from the likes of Salem and the other witchtrials elsewhere around the world centuries ago. And even then that was likely not actually real magic they were being punished for supposedly using.]

I think that could work! Yes.

[grunehexe]

In my world... Well, they persecuted many women just for the fear of magic. I'm sure most all the poor women of that time didn't have much magical ability to speak of.

[Some of the bedtime stories she'd been raised on, implements of torture once used on witches littering her village as grim reminders.]

Would you impart their names to me? I will of course be discreet in contacting them.

[keystaff]

The witch trials? I don't know a lot about them myself. But....I can. If you'd like. I'm not sure if their magic might be different from ours. Yours is already probably different from mine.

[Still. This might help. Is worth a try.]

[grunehexe]

Yes, that's right.

Even if their magic is different... simply exchanging ideas and getting an idea of what others are capable of may be of help. One never knows when inspiration can hit.

[keystaff]

Yes! Just let me know and I can try help too, okay?

[grunehexe]

Of course. I believe your cards may be one very viable theory, after all.

[keystaff]

Well, one way I can help, at least. I guess we'll see how it goes.

[grunehexe]

We will hope for the best.
