okay kids take out your #2 pencils and magic wands

[prayerless]

Characters: [OU] Aqua and you!
Setting: Floor 20, throughout the week
Format: Starting action, but I'll match!
Summary: After a handwaved voice-only announcement on the network, Aqua finally takes on her apprentices. Keyblade training and magic lessons within! Feel free to just stumble upon her if you are not involved in either class.
Warnings: None, will edit if necessary.

[Getting over the shame of her defeat had been a process. She hadn't even wanted to face her friends, much less the people that trusted her to teach them. She'd been working with some of the magic students on and off as the miseries in the Tower allowed, but after the conflict with Xehanort, all training had been postponed until she could reassemble the pieces of her shattered dignity.

But, it's time for her to own up to her responsibilities again and face all of her pupils, even if she doesn't want them to see the scars that now adorn her face. She's trying to wear them as a sign of her survival. Not as a mark of shame.

Keyword being "trying".

Aqua waits on the open-air twentieth floor, her beginner's aides for magic set up around her and her Keyblade at her side. Hopefully there was still interest in what she had to offer. The least she could do was pass on her knowledge, if she herself wasn't going to use it wisely.]

[Aqua turns at Ken's approach. She's not expecting a child -- at least, not this one. She's already met most of the children that take her magic classes.

Still, she offers the boy a smile. He's armed, so he seems to have some kind of fighting experience.]

Hello. Are you here for lessons?

[miseris_socios]

I thought I'd see what these lessons were about.

[Besides, if he could learn magic aside from what Nemesis had... it would be useful, right?]

I'm Ken Amada.

[prayerless]

Well, it's nice to meet you, Ken. I'm Aqua. [Her last post on the network had just been voice -- even though she'd said her name in the recording, it was best to confirm her identity.]

Do you know anything about magic? It'll be easier to teach you if you already have some understanding.

[miseris_socios]

[He nods, and pulls out his Evoker.]

Don't panic, okay?

[He's had enough of people freaking out. But he presses the Evoker to his forehead and fires, Nemesis appearing in front of him. She directs a Zionga off to the side before disappearing.]

[prayerless]

[She might have panicked if she hadn't had past experience with Persona-users. As it is, she watches, a note of impression on her face. When Nemesis disappears, Aqua redirects her gaze to Ken.]

So you're a Persona-user too? I've met a few of you before. I should be able to teach you, if you want.

[miseris_socios]

You have? Which ones?

[He's curious... and, well. He might have to keep quiet about more things if she met some of the ones that didn't really like Strega that much.]

Good. I need to be at my strongest here.

[With all this shit going on... ugh.]
