(Ooc: Nemos is playing 'til the evening. He knows it irritates people but, if anything, it's highlighting an obscure sense of humour. ... Yes, humour.)

(ooc: fair enough. sorry for not posting sooner.)
Jadyr would stumble into the inn as shops were closing slightly worn from a hard day's work dagger making. At least he knew how to make the exact, perfect, dagger now. He felt he wouldn't even need to perform measurements by the time they had finished all 200 between them. Opting to take a seat for now, he'd scan the bar area to see whether any of his fellow Children of power were present

Having finished with his snowmen, Nemos would have returned to the bar. He's had enough playing about, and is willing to get on with some actual progress. "Jadyr." He mutters, acknowledging.

[OOC: My fault I didn't make it too clear that Kairo was going to be staying there for a substantial amount of time, meditating, or at least update the forum reiterating that. And sorry I haven't been posting, I got distracted by IRL stuff for the past few days. How are we doing magic in the forums? I checked the character sheets, and it's not on there, so...?]
Kairo, moved out of the pool itself now, has taken up a cross-legged position on a flat rock closer the the waterfall itself. His thoughts, though clearer and less bogged down with the noises of the city itself, are still somewhat muddled. Taking a rest, he moves his awareness from inside, to his surroundings, listening, eyes still closed.
On a whim, he also releases some magical aura, letting it expand, almost as if breathing out, not purposefully trying to feel anything out, but like laying a net, and seeing what swims into it. He's trying to filter out the noise of the waterfall behind him.
[OOC Dice Rolls: Notice check, and a magic check]
Admin Edit (Maiyrhia): 1. OOC notes should all be done with the OOC: tag. Says so in the forum rules. 2. Dice rolls should be separate from the text.

The child of energy frowns "Nothing? you're telling me I've done more than you today? I've been working at the smith earning extra cash" (ooc: how much, btw?) shrugging "and the smith i worked for is going to asking about for a metal mage to communicate with Ronan and Melasni. On aside note; apparently someone likes to make orders of 200 daggers. Sounds a little odd if you ask me, but then again, there is no evidence either." letting out a sigh "So if you haven't been looking up about the lake, what have you been doing all day?"

Nemos' face flickers with a complicated expression a second. "... here's the short answer; realising ramifications of what we're doing, making plans, and trying not to get sidetracked." He frowns at his pouch a second. "It's becoming clear to me that the most important thing we can do 'now' is look to see who's suffering the most, as a sign of finding where maladaptive change is happening. If I had my way, Kairo would be constructing an intelligence agency, and myself possibly a hospice. We can't rely on one institution... and we certainly ought not to rely on Melasni after all. ...But we need funds for that, and favours to trade."

Jadyr would cross his arms, sitting back "You say to not get sidetracked. but helping whoever's suffering most is not necessarily the ones we need to do this prophecy. Time's ticking and the only thing on that prophecy that is certain is the lake. So it makes sense to find that, see what's revealed there, and figure out the rest of it on the way there." shaking his head "As for the whole not relying on Melasni; i'm not a big fan of him either, but he has the funds and favours, and he definitely is on our side. So far he's been a great help to us. Heck! We wouldn't be here if he didn't pick us all up and sent us on our way."

Fist tightening, the lake being a frustrating topic: "You expect me to magically conjure a lake out of nowhere? And yes, Melasni's successful; rather than use one big brain, he uses many smaller ones. There is something in what you say, don't get me wrong, but we haven't reached that sentence yet. 'Reign of trust'. We need to solve that line. We need to gain trust and manage it. We need to prevent the social situation from freezing over. If the prophesy intended to be jumped to the last line every time, we'd only need to worry about that specific sentence -- the rest of it would be nearly meaningless. So 'help' me. We need to remake these ties. And I'd rather do that by making something that'll last. It's a cure, rather than treating the symptoms all the time."

Raising a hand, the child of energy would let loose a small zap of annoyance "Fine, fine, I get your point, there's some order to the thing. I get we ought to figure out these reigns of trust and all that. But knowing where the lake is before we need it would speed things up a bit. That aside, what do you expect me to do? I'm doing what I know I can do already: finding a metal mage to communicate with Melasni, earning some cash, and keeping an ear out." Everything was frustrating him in one way or another. The knowledge of what happens if he gets too frustrated included. He didn't want to blow up and destroy something or someone he didn't intend to. Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he'd smirk "besides, if i wanted any damn old lake, I've got a brother for that"
OOC: edit to add more

"Speeding things up is exactly what I'm doing. The more subtle and intelligent the execution, the more effective it is." Arching his fingers, his orb resting on his lap, Nemos closes his eyes... perhaps to see his plan more clearly?
When he next speaks, he does so at a whisper.
"Thank you, Jadyr. With how adversarial we are, if I can get 'your' trust in finding a solution, I can get anyone's. I intend to research the institutions we have available to see what kind of support we can raise as philanthropists. This support will be managed and directed by, hopefully, volunteers and people who understand the gravity of the existence of the Children of Power. Being as you will eventually attain control over life and death, I feel it would be useful for you to help me sow some seeds of support in that area."

Looking at Nemos. He made life and death sound trivial, unique to him, but trivial. "And that's where I'll have to stop you. That's just rumour, you know. We don't know whether I can control such a thing. I know I can sense it whenever i blow up. It doesn't matter what it's used for, don't you honestly think the power to decide who lives and who dies is a bit too much power for any one guy?"

Nemos, his continuing whisper as free of compassion as a tundra wind, does not open his eyes. "Are you willing, and able, to learn?"

"Let me figure out how to control my bursts properly first, old man" smirking a little, holding a hand infront of him as he created an energy dagger, floating infront of his face, it's shape changing from that of the solid creation to a hollow shape of the material. taking time and effort to create
[magic please: control for the shape]

[OOC: Magic works exactly how it does in the original. I've just not had time to write anything up yet! Dice rolls. Kairo: Notice failed, magic I'm assuming the focus is control, so passed power, control raised. Darky: passed power, control raised. See below for what happens. Also, please remember your MP and state how many you're using... for now it doesn't matter, you're not using very many.]
Kairo's meditation was so complete he failed to notice anything around him - until his magic aura very abruptly encountered and defeated a burst of Fire magic. This was very shortly followed by the sniff-sniff-wail of an upset child, loud and piercing enough that even Kairo in his distracted state could not help but notice. The girl, perhaps eight years old, was standing some distance away, crying loudly at the feeling of her magic being utterly flattened in a somewhat painful manner.
Meanwhile at the inn, Jadyr's Energy sword appeared in fine, ornate detail. The hollow blade was perfectly shaped, unlike when he had tried to use it earlier that day. Whether it would withstand an encounter with another spell was another matter, of course, but it was a fine dagger - right down to an intricate little explosion pattern on the hilt.
[OOC: The closest any of you guys have come to combining Elements was Kairo's ball of water that Nemos almost froze. I'll remind you that the more you practice something the better you get at it - also remember your Second Powers, you'll want to practice those...]

Jadyr would look at his creation "now why didn't that work earlier?" Giving a shrug, he'd turn to Nemos "try and fill this thing up with ice. slowly, carefully." he was curious as to how well it'd work. He hoped it'd work, he wasn't dealing with opposites here, no, but it was still a new trick.

Nodding, Nemos touches his orb, whispering to it. "I'd like it very much, little ice cube, if you'd help with something."
As if in preparation, sweat crystallises on his skin. Focusing that his fractals don't get too far out of hand, that all pressure of magic be tentative and collected, Nemos fills said dagger with ice. It grows, glacially, from a single point.

Kairo's eyes snap open at the sudden appearance of a Fire Mage, though they clearly weren't very powerful. Neither did he mean his aura to be, yet it had managed to slip around any kind of defence they might have had. His gaze falls upon the diminutive, crying girl, and stamps out any thoughts of a possible hostile, that clearly not being the case. His sensing aura hadn't picked up a trace of anything else, anyway.
Slipping into the water, within seconds he appeared at the bank where the girl appeared, and now sits crying. Crouching down next to her, he extends an arm and places an hand on her small shoulders. "Hey, I'm sorry I hurt you. I wasn't expecting anyone to be around, let alone a Fire Mage. What's your name?"
He leans a little in front of her, to try to see her face better, and puts on a friendly grin. "I'm Kairo."

The girl's wails quieted to loud sniffles. "Alyssa," she mumbled, not exactly looking like she liked him yet.
