Christmastown Log! (Hotsprings)

[the_zackman]

The hotsprings aren't exactly what you'd expect at the north pole, but it beats having to set up a water heater for the workshop. ♥ Open to guests for tonight, the hot water releases a haze among the snowbanks, counterpoint to the cold weather. There are towels handy for people getting out.

*Kadaj watches as Ian unwraps the present. It's a small red globe like a large marble*

[chaos-component.livejournal.com]

*Ian gazes at the sphere with a hint of uncertainty combined with curiosity.*

...It's pretty. Ah...if you don't mind me asking, what is it?

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

It's Materia!

[chaos-component.livejournal.com]

Oh, one of those magic things you talk about so much?

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's right! And it's not just any Materia...

*Kadaj reaches over and touches at the red globe, clearly quite excited*

...it's Summon Materia! You can summon a monster with it! I know how much you seem to love chaos, so I thought you could really cause some chaos with it!

*he seems very pleased with himself*

[chaos-component.livejournal.com]

*Ian is silent as he looks down at the sphere.*

...

*He smiles faintly before looking back up at Kadaj.*

...Heh. Chaos theory in effect right here. I would have never guessed that you were my Secret Santa. It's...pretty cool.

*And yet oh-so scary when Ian thinks back to the post he made on DDD.*

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

So... you like it?

*hopeful*

I carried my Bahamut Sin Materia everywhere so I could get you that one. I think you should try it out.

[chaos-component.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's great!

Maybe I should. Um...

*looks down at the materia.*

How do I use it?

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Okay, here we go.

*he takes the Materia and somehow manages to absorb it into his arm*

Right, it's equipped. And now...

*he raises an arm*

Bahamut Sin!

*the sky begins to darken ominously*

[chaos-component.livejournal.com]

*Ian watches bemusedly, slightly worried.*

...

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

*a black vortex begins to fill the sky and Kadaj watches, amused*

Isn't that cool? We haven't even got to the best bit yet!

[chaos-component.livejournal.com]

...It's a giant monster of doom, isn't it?

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

...how did you guess?

*grins with glee as a huge, dark, dragonlike creature fills the sky*

[chaos-component.livejournal.com]

Oh, just a hunch. Holy shit...

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

Isn't he beautiful?

*Bahamut Sin gives a loud, screeching roar*

...heh heh. Zack is going to kill me for this.

[the_zackman]

*look who's here! Kinda hard to ignore this kind of thing showing up*

No kidding!! Kadaj, what the hell do you think you're doing?! Call it off!

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

Oh, crap. I just knew you'd turn up sooner or later and spoil my fun.

*he indicates the glowing Materia equipped on his arm*

Ian was only asking how it worked...

((OOC: Yay, I'm so glad you appeared! I was about to make a post with Kadaj going "Er... Zack... slight problem..." 8D))

[the_zackman]

You don't give him a live demonstration in the middle of Christmastown! We're guests here, remember? I'd like to be able to show my face here again.

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

*scowls at Zack*

Well I think it's cool.

*he gives another wave of his arm and Bahamut Sin dissipates just before he gets to devour a small group of cowering elves*

[the_zackman]

It might be "cool" back home but there's not enough room to do it here. Besides, I'm pretty sure Santa needs those elves. *sighs*

*small smile* Thanks, Kadaj.

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

Whatever, Captain Righteous. I was doing it for Ian, anyway.

*pouts and un-equips the Summon Materia, passing it back to Ian*

[chaos-component.livejournal.com]

Um...if it helps, it wasn't Kadaj's fault, Zack. Really. I did kinda want to know how it worked.

*Ian pockets the Materia, grimacing at the thought of Bahamut Sin monstrous form.*

[the_zackman]

*folds his arms and tilts his head to one side* You sure Ian can even use it, Kadaj? I mean, it's a great present, but he hasn't had any training or anything, and he doesn't have a weapon bracer. You usually need one or the other.
