Poi 5, voice

[first_host]

[Her voice might sound a little tired, but it's nothing to be concerned about. Especially because she sounds fine other than that.]

I suppose since I've had the time to finally settle in somewhat and to figure out what is going on here, that I ought to offer my services. Or, well, my knowledge as the materials and methods to what I can and cannot do are a little difficult to get a hold of.

The first, and perhaps the more useful of the two, is that where I am from I was from a clan that was known for their sealing abilities. When I say sealing, I mean just that. Whether it be a method to have a scroll summon someone or store items to sealing rather... difficult creatures into vessels, it can be done. Though whether it can be done depends on a few factors. I suspect here, the most we would be doing would be summoning and sealing weaponry into potentially easier to carry vectors.

[She pauses for a moment, taking a slow deep breath.]

The other is that I have something of, I suppose a gift? from my time being the vessel of a particular creature of which is no longer with me, where I can sense negative emotions. This has proven... rather useful in diplomatic matters and, I suspect, there might be some use here. Whether it be things on the train or with the knowledge of this Ministry, should we need to speak to them again. I have yet to discover any sort of detriment or way to fake said sense, so I figure it rather... well, foolproof.

[Is she going to name herself? Nah. Of course not.]

Comments

[yondu]

I don't mean to be insultin' or nothin', but if it ain't around no more, why do you still smell kinda uh... wild, I guess is the word for it.

[first_host]

[Smells. Wild. You know what, that's a great way of describing it and she's actually having to muffle a laugh.]

I assume for the same reason that my chakra is permanently changed because of him? It had been for a number of years that he was sealed.

[controlsthedie]

Who are you?

[ So he can know to avoid at all costs because he was sealed in a chest and would like no part of sealing creatures into parchment. Hell is already parchmentwork without having to be inside it. ]

[video]

[first_host]

[Oh hey, there's a video option. And she probably looks a lot less intimidating than her credentials show.

Especially with a small bit of a wave and a relaxed smile.]

Is there a particular reason you wished to know?

[yondu]

I... ain't heard a whole lot about chakras. [Someone will eventually explain it to him! One day. He's heard the word swimming around.] So I'm gonna guess that's how you got the emotional inclinations.

You gotta be in their proximity or can you do it over a distance? Like from here to there.

[first_host]

It's essentially life energy that most can use in some form or another. It's part of the reason I can do anything related to sealing in the first place. It requires... a particular touch. [And it's always hilarious watching people try, but that's beside the point.]

I suppose so? Despite keeping him asleep for the majority of the time he was sealed with me, I did have those changes. Which, really, is more useful than anything else.

... Honestly, I haven't tried at a distance before, so I'm not entirely sure.

[yondu]

[He knows better to volunteer because he's been called out three times already for being a little messed up. Or more than a little. So out in the open? In public? Nah, not gonna ask.]

[But he does have something to offer.]

Actually, uh... in relation to energy stuff. I ordered a book for someone, an' they don't seem to be around no more, an' I's wonderin' if you'd want it? It's on magic from my neck of the universe.

I could come drop it off.

[first_host]

[Yondu, please. You are by far not the weirdest person she's ever met, which probably says more about her than anything else.]

Oooh? You have magic where you're from? Color me intrigued. [Even if magic doesn't really exist and she's sure it's probably some kind of energy manipulation, the knowledge still helps.]

I'm sure you can take a wild, and probably correct, guess as to where I can be found.

[controlsthedie]

[ Thanatos learned how to use the video and hasn't really worked on switching it. Plus, this lets Mort interact more. (And people love seeing Mort.) ]

How are people supposed to contact you for what you offer if they don't know who you are?

[video]

[first_host]

[Sir, don't think she doesn't have her suspicions.]

They can simply ask, or inquire as to what they need. That and I'm very, very certain I'm the only person of my type here. [What she means by "her type", he'll have to figure out. She's feeling a little mischievous today.]

[video]

[controlsthedie]

I did ask.

[ Why... why does he get the sudden image of Hypnos in his head? ]

[video]

[first_host]

You did. But I also asked what purpose it's for. [She's just messing with him at this point, but she's just going to take the knife and twist it.]

Perhaps I'm a little more shy unless I know the reason due to, oh you know, my name might have led to the destruction of an entire clan. [She says that way too happily.]

[video]

[controlsthedie]

[ Okay, so he does want to know because he'd rather avoid her in case she decides Death himself is worth sealing. However, knowing for tactical reasons is important too. ]

... I have no need of your skills, but we would need something more to identify you besides your voice. And now your image. If your skills are needed for a mission.

[ Thanatos isn't computer savvy enough to do a video communication and a roster search at the same time. Greek god is doing his best. ]

[video]

[first_host]

[Can a god even be sealed? Probably not. Would it be worth the study? Probably. Will it occur to her? Absolutely not. But valid enough.]

I suppose my technical clan name at this point would simply be Senju at this point. [Is it her name? No. Will it give him someone else instead of her? Yes. Is that hilarious to her? Also yes. Because it'll have her brother in law suffer in her stead.]

Though, I assure you, if I would be needed for sealing on a mission, then there's already a larger problem at play. Sealing tends to be... more precautionary or after a fight has mostly been won. Not something you tend to do in the middle of a battle.

[yondu]

Well, I'll venture library, room with your name on it, or somewhere where tea can be produced.

I had a teammate who was an expert at it. The books are like the starters they had at his monastery. Anyway, I'll pass it on and see what ya think of it.

[He got two copies, one he intends to give to Kyoko.]

[video]

[controlsthedie]

[ Yes, gods can be sealed. He got chained up and locked in a box. 8(

Also, having met and spoken with Tobirama on a few occasions, Thanatos will know that he isn't her. Once he has a chance to look. ]

You also spoke of sensing negative emotions. Or does that have similar limitations?

[ And why was she instantly assuming that he was asking about her sealing... even if he was more interested in that. He didn't say so! ]

[yondu]

[Then he adds real quick.] Also introduce yourself proper to Thanatos. Don't make 'im all weird and paranoid when he needs to loosen up. Gonna have the boy climbin' out of his skin. Grim's got enough stress in his life.

[crouching_sin]

Sealing? Interesting. So you’re dealing with objects more than creatures, from your description? Though you’re capable with both.

I’m rather skilled with summoning creatures, though sealing isn’t my forte.

[first_host]

How ever did you come to such a correct conclusion? [She's predictable.

Not that it stops her from loudly huffing to make sure he can hear it.]

Am I not allowed a little bit of fun? Come on, now.

[video]

[first_host]

[She wouldn't chain him up and lock him in a box. Generally sealing is a little nicer than that, unless your name is Kurama and you're an utter douchecanoe. :<]

Ah. Not really, the sensing is something that I tend to do whether I'm consciously doing so or not. So there's no limitation on it except, perhaps, range?

[Because no one ever asks about the negative emotions thing!]

[first_host]

Generally, yes. There's usually not much of a need to seal creatures as they tend to have their own summoning system if they're something like the sages or ninken. I've only really ever had to seal nine of them in my lifetime and for good reason, I assure you. [Or, well, one of them was for good reason. The other eight are debatable.]

Is there a particular kind of creature you can summon or is it more... versatile than that? [Color her curious, summoning isn't something she really dabbled much in.]

[crouching_sin]

I'm sure you did have good reason. Genereally it's not an undertaking someone takes lightly.

You can make a general summoning circle or you can specify the creature. The former method is more likely to get you something that you aren't capable of controlling, however. Demons aren't so easily called across the barrier between worlds, and the stronger ones tend to push out the weak demons when they get a chance to cross.

[first_host]

[Oh, she can't help the small hint of a smirk that tugs at her lips at the commentary about demons. She'll keep that under wraps for a brief moment.]

That sounds... rather similar to the ways ones would summon the sages. With a type of seal and a bit of blood, to make it familiar to yourself. As the sages tended to only ally themselves to those they found worthy of their time. [Some more than others, but that's beside the point.]

I see demons are a problem no matter where one goes. How interesting~

[crouching_sin]

'Sages'? I take it you don't mean demons, if you're specifying them separately like that.

They're both more and less of a problem at this moment in my world. On the one hand, the barrier between the worlds is torn open fairly widely. On the other hand, there's a new King of Demons with enough power to make the strongest of them kneel to him.

And this king isn't openly hostile to humanity, though his decisions are...

[There's a pause, and he sighs.]

Let's just say it's not the path I would have chosen.

[first_host]

Mm, I suppose sages isn't the word for them and more those that learn from them... [She mutters to herself, she didn't really bother with learning all that much about them, to be perfectly frank.] They're a special brand of creature, basically. I honestly do not know that much about them other than they teach a particular type of technique to those that seek them out and pass their trials.

Demons are... their own kind of thing. Though there were nine major ones that have been mostly placated and turned around to be used by certain people or can work with or control them. [It's all a mess, if she's being perfectly honest.]

That... sounds rather familiar, though our demons tend to be more... wild, I guess?
