AGONY! I Destroyed the World?!

[dragonspooker]

Characters: Lina Inverse and you!
Setting: Room 1-05, dorm halls.
Format: Prose to start, will follow if you want it different.
Summary: Lina wakes up and puts two and two together to equal potato. Also, this is going on amidst all the stuff with the chocolates, so feel free to make her a target.
Warnings: Lina herself merits a warning, especially when distraught. And she's very distraught.

Lina snaps awake once the sleep paralysis wears off, then stumbles around the room for a few moments while she attempts to get her bearings. This... This wasn't where she was. This wasn't Sairaag.

There wasn't any kind of obvious noise or anything that gives the indication she was anywhere nearby, either - Copy Rezo's use of Zanaffar's power would definitely be able to be felt if she was near the battle still. However, a quick look out the window prompted Lina to remember what Sylphiel had told her - that the Giga Slave, the spell she had been casting before waking up here, could destroy the world. And that world outside the window didn't look like much of anything.

Was this Hell? Had she actually botched the spell when Sylphiel tried to stop her...?

No. That can't be right, can it? Lina shook her head, taking a steadying breath before running toward the door. "GOURRY! ZELGADIS! AMELIA! SYLPHIEL!"

_{[Feel free to meet her in the room before she takes off, or meet her out in the halls!]}

[Don't worry, Willow - there will be plenty of time to talk magic later.]

Lina Inverse. [For once in her life, though, she wasn't interested in food, but she nods.] I don't suppose you've seen a tall blonde guy with about as much brains of a jellyfish around, have you?

[guiltapalooza]

[Oh, good, because she would be majorly disappointed to let that topic drop forever.]

No, sorry. But if I see anyone that sounds suspiciously like a jellyfish, I'll tell him Lina's looking for him.

[Making her way over the stairs, now--] Come on, it's just a couple floors down.

[dragonspooker]

If he's around, he should be looking for me. [At least, she hopes that he'd be looking for her.

She sighs, then follows.] Alright. At least this place is decent enough to have a cafeteria.

[guiltapalooza]

Aside from the evil traps, it's not really too bad here. Definitely swankier than I would expect from my previous experiences with kidnapping. That tended to run toward the warehouse end of things.

[dragonspooker]

Traps, huh...?

[Lina nods, looking around the stairwell as they walk down.] Yeah, a big step up from some dank old dungeon. Not being chained up is a plus, too.

[guiltapalooza]

Tell me about it. I'm not objecting to the change in genre.

So you have experience with kidnapping? [Which she's using as a lead into the topic she really cares about...] And magic, too?

[dragonspooker]

More than I'd like to admit on the kidnapping, though the magic experience is a cause for it more often than not. It's not easy being skilled, ahaha...

[guiltapalooza]

That's what I thought! [she says triumphantly, and looks eager as she leads her into the cafeteria.]

I'm a witch. I use a lot of magic myself-- not usually world ending type magic, though, I try not to take chances with stuff that serious.

[dragonspooker]

[Lina gives Willow a quick glance-over, then raises an eyebrow.] "You don't really dress like any magic-user I've seen, though... [She spares a look down at the white jumpsuit.] Neither am I, currently.

[There's a bit of an awkward look at the comment about the world-ending spells, though.] Well, I was kind of at the end of my rope. Nothing else was working, so...

[guiltapalooza]

We're all from different worlds, [she explains readily,] so I probably don't do the same kind of magic as you, like, even remotely. We might not even be from the same planet.

[Willow looks sympathetic at the last bit.] No, it's okay, I know how that goes. I've been there.

[dragonspooker]

Well, I do a lot of different kinds, but given what you said, there might not be overlap... [Might as well give it a shot, though.] Do the schools of black, white, and shamanism exist in your world?
