[Game 21] Through The Train

The marbles from each group are inserted into the pupils in each door. The eyes blink, unnervingly, then seal shut. All at once, the lights dim down in each compartment and fade back to quiet darkness . . . though you still see the occasional spark of magic along the windows and edges of the train.

You still have no electricity, and your magic is still dampered.

You can, at least, proceed through, either back or forward along the train. The compartments are arranged in approximately this order:

[#1 - ??? - Open] - [#2 - Sariel's Group] - [#3 - Elluka's Group] - [#4 - Maon's Group] - [#5 - ??? - Open] - [#6 - ???] - [# 7???]

A disruption effect? And silver, as opposed to the gold we've seen...that seems significant.

It doesn't seem like it will be much use here, in any case.

Then we should bring it with us. Perhaps we can use it to stop the train, if we reach the engine.

...now that is a different matter entirely.

instead of that, disciplining his mind and focusing on positive memories, trying to send them instead]

[raising his voice to be clearly audible]

Everyone: draw up your most positive feelings and focus them on the artifact. They seem to weaken it.

Really...?

[Robin will focus on the object again, though she's a little hesitant, and focus as hard as she can on the feelings she has for her family--for Kieran, and Tristan, and Sariel, and Elluka, and Sera, and Leo, and Itachi, and Madison, and Kano, and everyone. maximum family overdrive.]

Um! Okay!

It's harmless to try, and if it fails, I do have a fallback, though it's far more...disruptive.

If we try to ward it, do you think it would it break the ward or rebound on itself?
bowtiedbones: (22)

[personal profile] bowtiedbones 2017-10-08 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
I'll test it then! A beginner's ward only takes two seconds to make anyways.

[which is just a chalk circle, like a Do Not Cross line, so she's going to draw one of those around the suitcase and its orb]

[well it didn't explode, so

sketching out a more elaborate circle with sigils to reflect magic inwards and others to direct overflow out to pool in other, smaller circles. lots and lots of spirals going on here]
