Oh hey, that's pretty cool! I don't think even Tax has won things like that, and he's the strongest guy I know back home.

...It is def weird. Like something out of a movie, you know? But so is all the color magic we can do.

[furrier]

[ He meant more like... how does a statue know how to make food? Have they ever seen food? How would they know what humans (human-adjacent) creatures even eat????

Anyway. Before he spirals. ]

Have you tested yours?

[dms]

Yep yep!

[ this guy was choking him a minute ago but he's already bounced back like it's nothing. ]

It was like an illusion? Which is pretty cool, don't get me wrong, but I dunno - might be more useful to be able to make the real thing, you know?

[furrier]

[ who's a bigger freak: kazunari or garou? ]

An illusion? Like those clowns?

[dms]

[ yes ]

Were they illusions...? [ then where did his sweet balloon hat come from? ] Then yeah, I guess it's like that.

[furrier]

Weren't they? Do clowns normally explode into confetti where you're from?

[dms]

Nope! But illusions don't normally give you stuff where I'm from, either? And I don't think mine can do that, they just look cool.

[furrier]

[ That's a good point. Maybe they are just that way?

He really doesn't know anything about magic. ]

Are you familiar with magic?

[dms]

Not really. I know about magic tricks, but that's about it. I don't think real magic is actually a thing, where I'm from, but it would be pretty cool if it was! Like, the illusion magic would be totally useful for sets and stuff!

[furrier]

... Is putting on a performance the only thing you care about?

[ says the guy who only cares about fighting ]

[dms]

Hm, I wouldn't say it's the only thing. But it is kind of my main job right now, so I have to care about it, you know? I don't want to let the troupe down.

[furrier]

Where do you think we are?

[dms]

Not Veludo Way, that's for sure.

[ haha... ]

They called it "the prism." Sounds like they want us to help balance things out here, so we're supposed to try to make this color magic stronger.

[furrier]

They want our help.

[ snorts ]

Sounds like some bullshit.

[dms]

Maybe...

[ not totally convinced, but it does sound like he's trying to understand where garou's coming from? ]

I don't mind lending a hand while we're here, though. It sounds like it's just a different way of getting strong, right? So it could be fun to give it a shot.

[furrier]

[ dw garou is just a paranoid bitch

Curiously, he opens up his phone to peek at Kazunari's profile. Cue me, spoon, being shocked that he's 20. ]

"Getting stronger by helping others"? Is this some kind of afterschool special?

[dms]

[ hahaha... ]

Mm, if it's anything like the stories, making magic stronger is just like training your muscles, right? And if it helps someone else out, that's a bonus! And it'll be good for us, since we're stuck here for now.

...But I'm an artist, too, so I also think this place will be way nicer if we can add some color to it.

[furrier]

You've given up on your muscles, hm?

[dms]

Huh? I never said that.

[furrier]

What've you done, then?

[dms]

[ pop quiz?! did he study?! ]

I started jogging again?! And doing sit-ups, and I can't really do a lot of push-ups yet, but I've been trying!

[ listen he's a nerdy artist, not a jock ]

[furrier]

[ wow he really didn't expect anything... kind of pleased...

glances at kazunari's arms ]

If your bodyweight is too much for you to start with, then use weights.

[dms]

[ blinks. ]

I thought bodyweight exercises were, like, how you got into lifting weights. Never thought about trying it the other way around.

I wonder if I could ask Kumopi to try making weights... Or maybe there's something around the mansion that could work.

[furrier]

[ Hands him a rock. ]

Keep up with both. A push up is more a chest exercise, but you can do arm curls while doing other activities and it's not without pay off.

[dms]

[ rock get! he does some experimental curls with it. ]

Huh... I never thought of it that way. Normally I'd do some research before starting, but there aren't really any books around here, so I was kind of just making it up as I go along.
