Pretty fire. I mean, yes.
>Whoa what the fuck? Are Imps like, super mega flammable?
It's called an Imp? I suppose so.
>Well shit. Bigger than expected but at least you haven't been eviscerated by paint thinner, right?
I guess it was made of oil paint and flammable things. Fun, if not a bit dangerous.

>Time to make some firebombs, and go loot a lighter or something so you won't just run out of matches.
But won't I run out of fuel eventually? But more ways to make fire is nice. What exactly would I make them out of. Obviously, things like oil and alcohol and the like would go in it, but how would I make a fuse?

are you telling me that you don't trust me enough to explain EXACTLY what it is that is wrong?
i can't tell you oliver
why?
bad things will happen
I was attacked by a thing. like, a thing
i dont even know what to call it
it was made of like
paint?
oh no.
uh
well
dont do the thing you did to make it come near you

what in the absolute FUCK are you talking about ruby?!
i didn't do anything

but i dont
you are hiding something arent you?
yes

ruby EXPLAIN
you have powers
we all do
but we cant use them
inez cheated and used hers
she's drawing attention to us and we arent ready yet
you and me and lonnie and vinz and bailey and garrett
we cant handle the power yet

are you telling me
that i have magic powers
in a post apocalypse setting
where an INK MONSTER almost KILLED ME?
you exploded it right and you survived the explosion
you should have thought, maybe im superhuman

it could have been luck!!
i mean
i dont know???
that isnt the point ruby
something WEIRD, something EXTRAORDINARY in nature is happening
and you are telling me that I cant use the gift given to me
because why????!!!!
do you WANT to die?!
we are human beings with magical powers
who DONt know what these powers even mean
all of us
all 7 of us
we are somethiing
we will leave a legacy
and it all begins with a single step.
but what is this step?
LEARNING
we cant hop in without understanding
or gathering strength and knowledge

okay
but you ARE NOT telling me. NOBODY is telling me
not even the fuckign magical ghosty head voices that have been guiding me!!
oh yeah the channel of advisors. they're nice. they know not to make you search deep down and find your inner powers.

Hrrm. Basically?
You can learn to do things like ignite your hair wenever you're upset, and get jumped by monsters now, before you can properly fight...Or you can wait, take your time, and by the time the monsters come you can properly face and fight them off even before drawing on your powers, which is the point where the flaming sword that shoots fireballs comes out or however your power actually works.
Incidentally? Calm down, Because I'm fairly sure you getting mad is what got your powers to light your head on fire, and you did say you dunno really how to fight to begin with so drawing attention from the bad guys is probably not a good idea.

Long story short, your magic overheats. Use a little at a time because I think that ONE MORE SPELL AND YOU EXPLODE. Not to mention the energy signatures that's giving off.

If you die from spell overload, we lose. It's that simple.

Okay since you asked here's the gist. Evil ink demon wiped out the earth except for like seven kids who were given powers that could potentially beat the demon.

At this stage you're supposed to be training on your own, because the demon can't get a fix on you while you're apart. Once you guys, the "rainbow warriors" I think you're called, are together, then the demon will know where you are and show up to fight. Ruby thinks you're not ready to start training, but if you can manifest your powers and they're as effective as we saw, you might be strong enough to take on a few imps after all. Also we've been outright told to guide people to start killing imps, so I dunno why Ruby thinks we're supposed to be keeping you guys from using your powers.

Looks like you can amplify and create fire.

But that's just it. I don't know what is considered drawing on my power. I apparently have done it and caused the ink monster to appear. It's ... I'm terrified alright? I'm not actually strong phisically! So... to have a power to defend myself? That's nice, especially in a scenario like this. I'm in this world right now, alone! Why not use my magic? Unless, you can't tell me how to use my magic.
>Incidentally? Calm down, Because I'm fairly sure you getting mad is what got your powers to light your head on fire, and you did say you dunno really how to fight to begin with so drawing attention from the bad guys is probably not a good idea.
Yeah... you... you're right.

That's one way to put it. I doubt I'll explode... right? Yeah, the beacon of magic that draws monsters that can kill me isn't a good-sounding thing.

>Okay since you asked here's the gist. Evil ink demon wiped out the earth except for like seven kids who were given powers that could potentially beat the demon. At this stage you're supposed to be training on your own, because the demon can't get a fix on you while you're apart.
That's interesting. How exactly would I do this?

That doesn't seem to make much sense. Now that I've calmed down, I don't think Ruby was saying I'm not ready to start training, but rather that it's too soon to use my powers in fights. Or at least not in ways that aren't ... maybe obvious to them.

>amplify fire
Hum. That's an interesting take. So maybe if I use man-made objects like matches and lighters and use my powers with it, my magic won't be as present I suppose.

Bing!

Sounds like Lonnie...

Well, I'm presenting these options.
1) We talk to Lonnie
2) You lot focus on Ruby
3) I try to learn how to use my powers despite Ruby's warning

Key Word: Miniaturization.

Whatever magic you perform, it's based on heat entropy. Try to do that one thing from that one urban fantasy series and turn your fire spells into LASER SHOTGUNS. Or something efficient.

Oh okay in that case avoid using your powers until you're more physically capable. Since you survived that explosion unscathed I can only assume you have latent physical awesomeness that you just have to work to unlock. GO LIFT SHIT.

I guess we can talk to Ruby a bit more and try to keep her from killing herself with her weird hallucination-powers.

Also a thing-find a garbage can, use it's lid as a shield. I dunno if I said that before but I figure some sort of armor might be a way to go for you. Trouble is you're not strong physically right? Walking around under it's weight and getting used to that encumberance should help on the physical strength front while the armor should be useful if another imp finds you, maybe.

Yeah, that backpack is kinda heavy, so I'll carry it more instead of keeping it nearby and dragging it like I've been doing. I don't know how good thin aluminum armor will be, but it certainly will protect against a good punch.

Tell her to stop using her powers! It attracts monsters and she needs to learn to fight without using her powers so that when everyone starts using powers they'll be strong enough to handle the bigger monsters. Get some physical training in. Also tell her to spread the word to the others. Prioritize physical training before magical training.

that's the problem
ruby just flipped out on me for using MY powers
also, I have powers
thats AMAZING!!
NO it ISNT
i accidentally apparently used my powers and it
summoned an imp? thats what the headvoice people called it.
huh
one came a little after I accidentally
uh
broke cars with my mind

you can just manipulate things? like, telekinesis?
well, i suppose
the feeling is hard to describe
i don't move it with my mind like "hey car go up"
it's more like using air to move around.

I live in Maryland. Here's where I've been traveling. You guys (?) have been telling me to go this way. Maryland is in the Northeast and Virginia is in the Southwest (if my geography is right). I'm in the big transfer station in DC, L'Enfant Plaza. I only know how to work the subway trains, but I could try to work the big, bullet train looking trains. The choo-choos. I dunno what they're actually called, but they're the Amtrak, Virginia Railway Express (VRE) and Maryland Area Regional Commuter (MARC) trains.

I mentioned that I can see the past, right? Well, I can also see what could have been. Ruby had multiple options but the one she chose is what I find interesting because she would have probably... well... let's not be grim.

Please stop using magic haphazardly. The heat/toxic/entropic buildup will cause spells to deal lethal damage if you overcast while on cooldown, and high buildup sends out beacon signals that invite enemy hordes to eat you while you're constrained.

There is obviously SOME problem with overuse though. I mean puking up blood does seem bad to me. Maybe physical training is necessary for you just to compensate for the toll magic takes on your body. Really the problem is what's going to happen to THE OTHERS. Your overuse of magic is going to attract imps to everyone, if I'm understanding this correctly. Think of it as a global hazard rating.

Are you going to be okay?

No. 746786 ID: cb4760

So...Your magic makes you puke blood.
Also-hey missy, thought for you: You noticed how 'easily' you've been fighting off the opposition? Maybe it's because the others are also getting some of the bad guys being thrown your way and thus less for you to fight...Oooonly they don't fully understand their powers yet unlike you and could use a bit of time to learn how to wield them.
In other words, you're drawing the enemy's ire but you're not the only target...
Aaand something tells me your powers aren't actually supposed to be used that way, unless you were like terminally ill BEFORE all this went down.

Taking into account that your powers do sound really OP, I would guess that there is a cost to everything you do, aside from drawing enemies close. That's probably why you ended up throwing up...

A sort of magical endurance that hasn't been built up, I suppose. I'm curious though. Let's say these strange, magical creatures are faced with another creature more powerful than itself. Perhaps it wouldn't attack if the potential prey were more powerful than it. You know how in some RPGs, enemies run from you if you are more powerful than they? I wonder if these monsters are attacking me because I am slightly weaker or equal in strength to them. It is clear that I am not in danger of encountering something more powerful than imps. We are still on Earth and not in the magical realm where they reside.
