Date: 2016-09-13 09:42 pm (UTC)Great! [ Just going to wave to the four as he talks to Gundam. ] You can keep standing if you want, but sitting might be easier. I'll supply you with that feeling, and you focus on that and a song, any song, so you make a connection between the two and that feeling, and you can learn it for yourself. Just keep your back straight and don't fall asleep! After we give the first Devas a nap, you can try putting the next one to sleep on your own.
[ Sound like a plan to you, Gundam? And yes, Lapras is catching those glances --or the first few, before he head turns and her eyes close. She might even appear to be smiling, if one believes the shape of her mouth can form such a thing. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-16 01:48 am (UTC)Very well. I will seat myself in order to properly receive your instruction! [He has a bit of a boisterous energy as he crouches into a seating position, and one of the hamsters scampers onto their connected hands. It's San-D, who is slowly nibbling on a half-eaten seed, and he looks up at Red with sparkling eyes.]
Know that the Dark Devas of Destruction are not to be understimated! If your spell can truly put them to a slumber, then it would truly be worthy of acclaim!
[Oh, and he blushes slightly when he sees Lapras smiling.]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-18 01:50 pm (UTC)My spell is Lapras's spell, and she's not just a cute face either. She's one of my best fighters! [ Hey, we're not going to be modest about how rad Lapras is. ]
Do you have a song ready? It can be a chant, too, or even a tune. Whatever it is it's going to be your sleeping spell, so it needs to be something you can repeat again!
[ He can use new lyrics later. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-19 04:28 am (UTC)Yes, your efforts combined as one... Very interesting!
Hmph. A chant would be the most fitting. Perhaps... 'Little Demons, be at Rest!'
no subject
Date: 2016-09-21 12:07 am (UTC)[ And what comes then is that power that had made its way into Gundam's body before, that he might even feel a lump there, in his throat. An energy he need only to take and focus on the individual before him, to let out into his words...
but for real who knows how it will go. At least it's only a sleeping spell?? have fun, Gundam. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 04:31 am (UTC)He feels the powers, and he does his best to harness it bombastically with his voice.]
Little Demons, be at rest! [It takes a moment, but the little hamster's eyelids begin to feel heavy, and he starts snoozing. Gundam's natural reaction is to cackle madly.]
Fuhahahahaha! I have unlocked a new ability as the nightmare prince!
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 04:45 am (UTC)It's half-tempting to clap for Gundam with a reaction like that, but let's cut off the energy, and give a - ] Good job! [ instead. That seems better, the wurm against his lap stirring with a grumbling at all the noise, and Red pats at them. ]
You won't always get someone to fall asleep as quick as that -- it depends on what their resistance is like. Sometimes, you need to carry it longer or they'll snap back awake. But the practice means you get better at resisting it too!
... it's better to just attack whoever's trying to put you to sleep though.
[ You know. Just a smart idea in general. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 05:07 am (UTC)Kehehe... I see. It makes sense. Creatures with different power levels should have different levels of resistance! And I will do all that I can to resist such a spell's pull on me. But there would be no need to feel concern for me in such a showdown. [Or so he wants Red to think.]
Next, you must teach me 'Dream Eater'!
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 05:18 am (UTC)wait ]
You [ yes, Red's pointing a finger ] want to learn how to use Dream Eater?
[ YOU you??? The You you kind of you??? ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 05:23 am (UTC)My power level should be more than sufficient, Red. You have taught me the forbidden lullaby, and it only stands to reason that Dream Eater is the next natural step!
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 05:31 am (UTC)Red's never even considered learning Dream Eater for himself. How would teaching that to a person even go? Or learning it in the first place to teach? Was it possible?
It's definitely a request (or whatever you want to call it, coming from Gundam) deserving thought, brow low and mouth pinched. Well, there's at least another thought to pause that one. ]
What would you do with it? I dunno if it'd be the same for humans as it is for pokémon... Hmm...
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 05:35 am (UTC)sane mortals ask.
Gundam watches patiently as Red thinks it over.]
Have you forgotten? I am no ordinary human. And it should be obvious... Once I put my foes to sleep, I will use that move to consume their dreams and drain their energy!
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 05:41 am (UTC)[ Red is trying really hard to imagine this. ]
Mmm... [ ugh, does he really want to consider this... ] ...I'll see what I can do, but I don't know how it's going to work. Lapras's lullaby was easy because I knew what emotion to put to it, and we have a connection! But Dream Eater... what emotion would you put to a move like that? And if dunamis doesn't turn the dream into energy...
...
... why don't we just learn 'absorb'?
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 05:46 am (UTC)...
...You may tell me more about 'Absorb'.
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 06:00 am (UTC)Red doesn't want to promise anything of that magnitude however, so, uh, yes. Absorb. ]
It's a Grass type move. I don't have any pokémon with me who can use it, but trying to learn how to absorb energy first might make things easier before moving onto dreams. [ That was his idea, but actually thinking about it like a normal person and not just naming pokémon moves because you're a nerd? ]
...I don't know how you would do that either. [ His mouth got ahead of him, ok. ] But you know, you won't know until you put the time into it and experiment! You still need to try putting one of the Devas to sleep with my help. Do you think you can do that?
[ Do you remember anything before you started thinking about how cool eating nightmares for sustenance was, Gundam. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 06:18 am (UTC)Then I will be the master! One day, I will teach you how to drain your enemy's very life force! Kehehehe... Prepare yourself to commit my hellish techniques to memory!
[Then he looks at the napping hamster for a moment, and his expression softens as he starts to stoop down again.]
...Still, I suppose that there is some truth to your words. I should focus on completing mastery of this new skill first. I remember your teachings well... and I will put every last one of my dark devas of destruction to a luxurious slumber! [He remembers. Maybe.]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 08:58 pm (UTC)Gundam. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-23 08:58 pm (UTC)But he'll give Gundam the chance to prove himself, gesturing with a hand. ] Then let's see what you've got!
[ just
keep the theatrics down...... maybe... ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-24 06:03 am (UTC)[He then takes Maga-Z in his hand and tries to mimic the trick.]
Little Demon, be at rest!! [...There's a long pause. And Maga-Z only sneezes.]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-25 12:09 am (UTC)Hmm... are you remembering what it felt like before? The power comes from feeling, and the words are how you let it out!... well, we only did it once, too. It's too quick to get the hang of it like that. Unless you wanna try one more time.
[ You know, just to say you tried, Gundam. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-26 01:11 pm (UTC)Do not think to question a warlock's ability to cast a spell!
[He quickly hunches over the hamster and tries one more time, trying to channel the emotion this time, but it's hampered by his irritation and pride.]
Little Demon!! Be at rest! [Nope.]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-26 10:49 pm (UTC)Who knows, he's going to anyway. ] The problem isn't that you don't know how to do spells, [ apparently, whatever, ] it's that you're learning a new way to cast spells, the way you do it in this world. It doesn't matter what level you were at before! You need to learn the basics here until it becomes second nature, and then find a way that fits you.
I had to do the same thing here, as a trainer. I can't keep the creatures here in balls, so I found a way to let them live in their habitats and stay connected to them. And I hold the Champion title back home.
We just have to adapt to do the things we're passionate about.
[ See?? No judging, bro. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-27 04:38 am (UTC)So you do understand. [He says as if Red passed some secret test.]
It can already be difficult enough to channel my cataclysmic power through this frail mortal body... On top of that, this realm's properties have suppressed my power level. But no matter...
You have correctly guessed that adaptation is the key in a new habitat. Now, Red, demonstrate this spell once more and demonstrate the power of your adaptation!
no subject
Date: 2016-09-27 05:19 am (UTC)Fine! But we're not leaving here until all the wurm and devas are resting peacefully, and then you have to come with me to test our luck in ordering the most weirdest sounding food off a Shaarnath menu! I haven't had a proper meal in days, and dunamis makes me hungry!
[ Or maybe he just thinks it would be a funny, or interesting, thing to do before they possibly part. ]
no subject
Date: 2016-09-27 10:32 pm (UTC)You know, it's not that often that I accept the demands of a human. But I can make such an acception... this warlock feels agreeable to your conditions! [The hamsters that are still awake cheer in recognition of this.]
