DEPLOYMENT 6: I'm Loco for Logos

[walking_nuke]

[ACTION (In and Around Goldberg Street, Afternoon, OPEN TO ALL)]

[In the 50's, the Postman still delivers on Saturdays! Balin heads out of 847 Goldberg Street to check the mail-and, after opening the mailbox and retrieving what's inside, sees that it's a package in his name.]

Huh. They finally sent me somethin' else?

[In a inglorious fashion,

[Bright blue light? That isn't good. The last time he saw light like that, it was a True Rune going nuts and building up to kill everyone. Normally? This would prompt him to run the other way, buuuut since it seems to be just outside...

If it even was that, he'd still be in the blast radius.

So, here's to investigating what just woke him up instead. Caesar peers out from the front door, but that's as far as he goes until Balin answers the most important question of the day.]

Hey. You aren't about to explode, are you?

[walking_nuke]

Goddamn, I hope not.

[Don't give Mayfield ideas, Caesar. Please don't give Mayfield ideas.]

[commentboxtroll]

[It's a really valid question to ask, okay? And he had been hoping for a yes or a no on that, but that will have to do.

He leaves the house and wanders down to the mailbox, to where Balin is.]

So what was that?

[walking_nuke]

[Still kind of shuddering from the pain. Migraines suck, especially migraines induced from Logos Element overload. That picture of the Golden Ratio is still next to him.]

It was-Mayfield gave me back my "tabula." I think. Fuckers-made me learn every Element I had back home. All over again.

Fuckin' son of a bitch I can't see straight.

Action | Morning [Yay! I haven't seen you in a while <3]

[snipingmissy]

[Riza might have no extraordinary ability to sense when there's a magical change, but she's got sharp eyes and ears. Just passing the block, she can see the flashes of light--vaguely reminiscent of alchemy--and if she listened she could hear swearing. So, she diverts from her path to work, hurrying down the street. When she sees him, she doesn't hesitate to crouch beside him, concerned.]

Sergeant Wilbur! Are you all right?

I heard you swearing from a block away.

Yo, Hawkeye! :D *needs to tag with you more!*

[walking_nuke]

[Hey, there's a voice he hasn't heard in a while. That'd be ... That's right, Lieutenant Hawkeye! He kind of laughs, though it's a bit of a shuddering one. Boy this migraine is killing him.]

That far-? Damn I oughta be a drill sergeant.

[That picture of the Golden Ratio is still beside him.]

I-fuckin' town just gave me back my "tabula" and-in'a worst way possible too.

Yo! [And yes we do! Guess whose CO is apping in this cycle?]

[snipingmissy]

[Painkillers want? If he just tells her, she's not opposed to going and getting him something. She just can't know to offer without complaint.]

I have good hearing, and after the flashing light I thought it may be prudent to pay more attention.

[Tabula. What the hell is a tabula?]

Unfortunately, I don't know what you're talking about; I've never heard of a tabula.

That's irrelevant, though, since you're still sitting on the ground holding your head. Are you all right?

Oh man. :D Roy!

[walking_nuke]

[VITAMIN M. YES PLEASE.]

No-my head's hurtin' like a motherfucker. Like ... God damn it's like I got a migraine-!

This-this doesn't normally happen-you don't do it all at once-! Only one element at a time ... fuckin' town just dumped everything in my head!

[hystorical]

Then you'll have to let us know when you receive a package.

Did something happen?

[walking_nuke]

Yeah, it-town just gave me back my "tabula," but-it fucked with me. It ain't s'posed to happen like this-

[hystorical]

Your... "tabula"?

Are you alright?

[walking_nuke]

-No, I'm-pretty fucked up right now. Gave me a migraine when it happened. Still-dealin' with it.

Shoulda known'a town wouldn't just give us stuff without throwin'a wrench into it-it ain't s'posed'a happen all at once-

[phone]

[sanctusdei]

[Oh that was a nice interesting blip on the magic radar today. Hmmmm.]

Let me guess - lots of power in one surprisingly small, unsuspecting package that erupted all at once?

[walking_nuke]

... Yeah, you could say'at-town gave me back my Tabula. In'a worst fuckin' way possible.

[Don't say that, Balin, Mayfield will take it as a challenge.]

[sanctusdei]

I'm guessing that has to do with your magic since you practically lit up like the Fourth of July. I was wondering what the hell that was.

[walking_nuke]

[Balin can't help but make a sputtering scoff at that. The Fourth's his favorite holiday!]

It's'a-damn, how do I put it. The focus, I guess-I mean, you're a wizard, you probably deal with spell scrolls an' magic seals an' shit-the Tabula's kinda like that. What you-focus Logos Elements on.

Action

[flowers_suck]

[She can see a blue glow from the window, and to her, that means one thing, alchemy, so she heads outside to find out who is doing what to her street. The light disappears almost as soon as she locates its source. Then, she is privy to more cursing than she's heard since she got to Mayfield.]

I suppose that wasn't alchemy.

[walking_nuke]

[Balin's still on his hands and knees as Olivier approaches.]

Alchemy? No, it's-it's Logos.

[flowers_suck]

[She tilts her head, not surprised at encountering something new, but now she's interested.]

What is Logos?

[walking_nuke]

[He looks up slightly. He tries to stand up, picking up that picture he dropped in the midst of the download process, but he's having a bit of trouble doing so.]

It's-it's'a human name for a system'at-allows a sentient mind to directly affect'a universe.

.. Or, well-most people call'at "magic," so I guess'at works, too.
