EVENT | LANDFALL | VALISHAERA

[ironwood]

Characters: ALL!
Date: JULY 13-26
Location: Valishaera
Situation: Tu Vishan has made landfall on Siaxhi, to explore the Dreaming Watch City of Valishaera.
Warnings/Rating: Please indicate content warnings in subject headers as applicable.

As Tu Vishan draws near, the heavy jungle visible even from miles out quickly identifies the landmass as Siaxhi, one of the westernmost continents in Konryu and one that has been largely untouched insofar as the kedan themselves have gone. There is a natural inlet along the southeast shore on the continent and Tu Vishan makes for that, though he fills nearly all of it.

He actually looked quite proud, something he hadn't since the whole conversation started.

"Not too bad! I'm almost done. It was harder at first but I think I'm getting the hang of it, I find it easier if you don't actually think logically about what you're doing."

That was interesting, and something of which to take note. Solomon glanced at Frank's work, nodding in approval at the accuracy. "How is it you're thinking about it, if not logically?"

Logic was Solomon's default means of teaching, but sometimes it wasn't always to benefit.

"It's like... breathing?" He suggested after a few moments, but it didn't quite feel right. He shook his head. "No, it's actually more like using my powers. The more I try to think logically about it the more difficult it is. If I try to think logically about all this my brain just doesn't cooperate.

But what you said about the mind palace and such made a lot of sense because I just let the emotions guide me, I let it come naturally. If I do that, if I just gently nudge what I want to summon instead of getting a headache trying to force it to come true... it's easier.

My girlfriend's magic is a lot like this."

"I see," said Solomon thoughtfully. By instinct and emotion rather than logic, then. Solomon would need to reconsider how he was going to teach Frank, in that case. "I believe we should leave the chess match for another day, then. I'll have to reconsider your strategy."

Chess might not even be the best way to teach Frank, if that was so. That was fine. There were always alternatives.
