09-Wings [action/dictated;]

[heal_theworld]

[After a few hours, Martel has realized she's one, trapped in the lobby, and two, her wings have appeared and won't retract. So she's stuck with sitting in the lobby on the couch, with her pink mana wings. Obviously this is a loss, and obviously someone is going to walk by and notice. So she'll deal with it as it comes up. But, she's also hungry, and can't even get out of the lobby to the kitchen.]

Ah, could anyone bring me some food? I seem to be on a loss, and I'm stuck in the lobby.

[ooc: Loss start! This can be action or over the journal.]

Magitechnology isn't always a good thing, though. Using too much was what depleted the mana on my world and killed the Great Tree.

[kamenriderdecade]

Seems that's another similarity. Humanity tends to overuse it's resources as well; they use faster than they can replace.

The future doesn't look good.

[Raise of a brow though...]

...the Great Tree?

[heal_theworld]

The Great Tree, the Giant Kharlan Tree... It's the world tree, and the source of all mana. [And since all the creatures in her world rely on mana, you can put two and two together and realize exactly what killing it means.]

[kamenriderdecade]

[And watch him work it out without knowing about the dependency on mana.

Cause he's haxx like that.]

So if the tree goes, the world goes.

[heal_theworld]

Basically. However, the tree made a seed before it died. So all hope is not lost. The seed does make mana, and the world will be able to survive until it can be germinated.

[kamenriderdecade]

[A rather lazy shrug.]

Doesn't mean much if they're just going to work that one to the point of decay too.

[heal_theworld]

[Don't tell her that!] Well, we stopped the war that was using magitechnology. So maybe, people will realize, after such a close call.

[kamenriderdecade]

We can only hope.

[Said halfheartedly. This guy is half pessimist, half cynic unfortunately.]

Or maybe following the moment of relief it creates they'll become complacent with the situation and start all over again.

[heal_theworld]

I can't think like that, and I won't think like that. I'll always have hope, that people will do the right thing. [Yes. even if it all seems lost, even if it hurts. She'll still believe.]

[kamenriderdecade]

Hm.

[Yeah he expected that...not like he's going to not voice his opinion to avoid offending someone though.]

We'll agree to disagree then.

...

Can't really say I trust anyone.

[heal_theworld]

That's probably for the best. I don't want to argue.[She doesn't actually mind.]

Some people think I trust too easily. But I don't feel like that at all.

[kamenriderdecade]

It's better to be too trusting than to close yourself off from the world.

I won't berate you for that. It's not a bad thing in my opinion.

[heal_theworld]

And yet...you don't trust people at all.

[kamenriderdecade]

[Flatly.]

Point being?

[heal_theworld]

Perhaps you should at least try to trust people. All of them can't be bad, can they?

[kamenriderdecade]

...it's...not really that easy.

[If only it were. His inability to trust people was nothing against humanity. It isn't like he didn't like other people.

He was just...hm. Maybe the best way to describe it was he simply didn't know how.

Not that he'd ever tell anyone that.]

[heal_theworld]

Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn't. I think it depends on the person. But at least you talk to people and don't try to shut yourself off from them.

[kamenriderdecade]

Well, I wouldn't want to deny people the chance to make friends with someone as great as I am.

[And then he'll chuckle a little.]

[heal_theworld]

[She smiles and giggles.] That is true.
