Just doing a check - how many of you can make some kind of portable healing item? Like... a potion or stimulant, or, dunno, a cake, or something that'll heal injuries quickly. Missions are getting pretty dangerous, and with it liking to split the teams up so much, I figure it'd be good to start thinking about back-up plans in case a team's healer is taken out of commission or ends up 'visiting the control coach' during mission week.

[ Like her, for example. ]

Just... gimme an idea of what you can make, and what you'd need for it, I guess. Reply to standard coach, or come and talk to me.

[ She reaches towards the screen, then pauses. ] Oh, right. I've finished writing up my notes of the missions so far, so if you want to come and give 'em a look, get an idea of what you'll be doing in the future, that's fine too.

[ Bwip. ]

[ About ten minutes later, she's back: ] Just repeating something Tidus said - it'd be good to know the same for defensive supplies. Stun grenades, nets, deployable barriers. Magic or whatever else that does the same thing.

[ Curse you, resting Sis face. ] Relax. It's a good point, I should've remembered it.

[sonoflucis]

[Noct stares, brow furrowing as he thinks about it.]

Well, I mean...I've never tried? You would probably be pretty worn out after a bit, but then it would last as long as we needed it too, and people who doesn't have a magic offense could use it.

[aluciner]

[How do normal people answer a question like this? Because the technical answer is yes but it's a lot more complicated than that.]

If I leave, they'll still exist but they'll be inert. [That's the easiest answer that isn't a lie.] Technically, I don't replicate things. I make them.

[sensitiveapple]

I can try!

[blitzcheer]

[ Ah, he will not become Tidus puree...! ]

Well, either way, I hope you get some hits! I'll come by later and take a look at your notes. I've been curious about the other missions.

[enthunder]

Might be worth a try, if nothing else. ... I'd feel better if everyone was better equipped generally, you know?

Let's get you some energy drinks, first. Four potions for twelve points isn't a bad deal.

[ Even if it'd be even better if they got equipment for free, given the circumstances. ]

[sonoflucis]

Yeah, I get that. I'm willing to test it if you are. But one thing at a time. I can make as many potions as we can afford.

[enthunder]

I've got a few. Hits, that is. Tell you about 'em when you stop by.

[enthunder]

That tire you out?

[ Inert doesn't bode well for things like potions, but maybe for supplies for the team he's with... she notes it down. ]

ACTIONING IT UP IN HERE

[flatteries]

[ Okay. Cool. He can do this. He's going to do this! He's going to slamdunk this friendship into the ground!

Maybe not that last part.

But very soon after the feed cuts out, Inigo's right there in the standard carriage too, a big smile forced upon his face. (But to Inigo's credit, he's very good at making those look natural when he tries. Like right now.) ]

Here I am! I think I probably already know about most of these, but I figured it couldn't hurt to look them over and see what I missed. Especially when you've worked so hard!

[enthunder]

The important thing is anyone can buy'em, so we can spread the cost. [ She sighs, relieved. ] This could save a lot of trouble. Thanks.

[Video to Standard Coach] Might want to transition to action so Nita can buy All the Things??

[unfavorableinstigation]

Wizardry doesn't usually work like that when it comes to powerups-

[The peridexis aka 'power surge' for wizards is its own thing - and while there is a tinge of interest in the concept from Bobo that's something for later-]

But I can key shields to work for specific people. Either for self-defense, or to trap someone.

And I can help buy supplies, for other people.

[sonoflucis]

We can see how many people are willing to help us with buying them. I think it's a good cause.

[He looks embarrassed.]

Don't worry about it. Just wanna help any way I can.

[enthunder]

Don't know if you heard, but we've got someone who can turn energy drinks into healing potions. If you wanted to throw some points at that.

How long do the shields last?

[aluciner]

Not exactly. [There's a pause.] There's a cost to what I do and the cost is sometimes monsters tag along for the ride. The more you want, the more likely I bring something you don't want too.

/makin up some STATS in here

[unfavorableinstigation]

Depends on the force it's countering; a light consistent pressure? I'd give it 30 minutes, maybe longer if you're not moving about and stressing it much.

If you're countering, say, a falling boulder? Closer to five, less if you're trying to prevent it hitting someone else as well.

And I can get on buying those drinks, sure. Want me to come where you are, or is there somewhere in particular I should meet up with him?

First there is a close up of Sakura's mouth, as she still hasn't figured out this video thing.

"I can make damage mitigating candies, but I need more supplies to do anything but the most base stuff."

my boyyyy

[enthunder]

Not having a log of 'em was driving me crazy, so I've been writing them since the third month.

[ She doesn't pick up on the forced nature of his smile at all, answering it with a genuine twitch of her lips that counts as a smile nowadays. ]

Sorry about the handwriting. [ It's a bit of a scrawl. Legible, though. ]

[enthunder]

Magic supplies, or candy-making supplies? [ a pause. ] ... You can lean back, by the way. The camera'll still pick you up.

[enthunder]

[ She hums an agreement. ] You're Noctis, right? Got this far without asking...

[grannyofthebolt]

The camera pans widely as she leans back, a bit too far, so there is a nice view of the ceiling since she was looking down at it.

"Candy-making supplies to start. I mean magic supplies wouldn't hurt, but I need molds that can hold a good form for the really defensive stuff."

[enthunder]

It's Noctis, so try his cabin, I guess. [ Hmm. She thinks about the shields. They had manadrive shields back home, but they sound different. ] Do your shields deploy immediately, or can someone carry 'em and then use them later?

[sonoflucis]

Hm? Yeah...

[Now he's actually red in the face.]

I'm guessing Ignis has mentioned me? Geez...

[enthunder]

She tilts her head, considering. Buying candy molds doesn't sound too bad, but...

"Do they have to be candies?"

[enthunder]

[ ... okay, that's a cost that's worth knowing sooner rather than later. ]

How big a monster are we talking, here?
