Hm... Might be hard to learn it if you guys get called soon, and it helps that seals and curses are the Easts' specialty.
[ He looks away, thoughtful. ]
You think enchanting an item for you guys might work? Maybe I can place the seal on something for each of you, and you can activate it when you get closer to the curse?
Yeah, I kind of figured you guys would be the ones to go to on curses. Enchanted items might work, though - either something we can activate ourselves, or items already imbued with your power?
[Hmm... After a moment of consideration, he'll produce a coin of their regular currency, concentrating briefly to punch a hole through the center with his magic - marking it clearly.]
[ He doesn't think his magic's limited by size, so he holds his hands out, quietly says his incantation...and magic flows out from his hands, towards the coin. It leaves his emblem on it -- a music sharp. ]
There. Let me know how it goes. ... It's all I've got in mind.
Well, you might've heard the summary earlier, but we fought moon rock-powered automatons that were taking over the city. There were a lot of them, but we managed. Got to Collodi's workshop, where we found him...dead.
[ Yeah. ]
His journal entries implied that his automatons turned on him. Seems like he's the one who was responsible for all of that. After that, we -- [ fell apart, honestly ] went to purify the source. It took three of us to get it right, but that's...the gist of it.
The end is when Mika went on one of his little "humanity sucks" rants, huh?
[His tone is equal parts exasperated and sympathetic. Read the room, Mika...]
I hope this doesn't mean we'll end up dealing with monsters powered up by moon rocks... The North's already got issues with how many of them there are roaming around.
I'm hoping that you guys don't have to deal with it, either. It was...a lot, to say the least. But the five of you are really strong, so I think you'll be okay.
Sometimes he opens his mouth and repeats pretty much the same exact things about how humans are all universally terrible, and so are vampires, but in a different way. But at the same time, he obviously doesn't really want to hurt humans over it or anything?
Like there's some kind of disconnect between the things he always repeated to himself versus his actual feelings on the matter...
...Well, I'm saying all this, but in the end he's got the emotional intelligence of a teaspoon. Who knows if he'll ever manage to untangle his feelings on any of it.
That. Explains. A lot. Yamato can't help but feel a lot less pissed off about the situation, and there's a crooked smile on his face, one that mirrors Ahito's, as he tries not to dunk on Mika too much himself. ]
I see. That...that sums it up, then. I can see where that comes from.
[ don't do it. don't dunk on him. don't dunk on this poor 16 y.o.- ]
You think we can get that to up to a tablespoon by the time we're done here?
[Mika deserves to be dunked a little. Or even more than a little.]
He's trying, I think? But this is the same guy who, after that whole hostage thing, decided to break into my room in the middle of the night to check on me and refused to say it's because he was worried.

Thanks! I owe you one.

Anyway, you wanted to know about the mission?

Yeah, if you don't mind. Anything you can tell me about it.

Anyway, if strength were the only issue, I'd be far less worried.

Maybe half a tablespoon.

[ Hello? Is this boy OKAY? ]
Uh, yeah. Maybe half's stretching it a little. At least he cares, though...that's a good start.
no subject
[WHO DOES THAT except dumbass vampires apparently.]
Maybe by the end of this he'll learn to at least admit it.
