UN: SARINSCRIPTION
You crazy people can't ever seem to stay out of trouble, but at least that keeps this place fun.
I may have been gone for a while but it didn't take me much to catch up so Tutoring Sessions Will Continue! If you weren't on my list before but want to be now, hit me up. If you want to drop the sessions, that's fine, too.
And I left that adaptive golem for a reason, but should have known someone would abuse the opportunity teach him how to cuss in ten different languages. Cute, but unhelpful for my research.
If it was you Spudnut, I will find out.
{OOC: Sarona has been absent for nearly two months due to a death and legal custody issues, but she's back now and ready to get back into things!}

I guess, yeah? Class, when I'm trying to sleep, any time at all... Sometimes there's a day when I don't have any, or even two days once in a while, but generally every day and sometimes like three or four times in one day, a couple times they've been like right in a row and I usually black out after that, but it doesn't happen that often. I'm talking with Professor Jailbreak about them and she says sometimes it takes a while for it to sort of settle into a pattern or one reaction to them; I don't know. I'm still figuring it out. I also kind of screwed it up with some shall we say... ill-advised... experiment. But lesson learned!
no subject
Toki. Boy, you're gonna get yourself into serious trouble. What if you go catatonic or something? You need to watch your health more. Visions are important, but not if you end up in a coma from them.
[Says the girl who will go days on three hours of sleep and then crash from overworking herself.]
no subject
I don't have any control over them; I never have. I'm trying to learn how to like see things in the present, the true nature of something, but that's just an addition? And maybe it's going to make it worse? But it's trying to learn some control I guess? I don't purposefully have that many visions!
[That would be insane, which okay, he's in that general box, but he would definitely reduce their number, or stop visions alltogether if he could. Which is where the experiment came in.]
no subject
[She cuts her eyes just a bit.]
Did you talk to anyone about how many you keep having? One of the doctors or the nurse?
no subject
[He doesn't intend to anyway.]
I'm talking to people now, well, about visions and not really about the effects of them, but I will! There's-
[He stares blankly again... Flashing lights in too-bright neon colors. An upside-down and twisting impossible staircase the only object discernable. Hypnotic eyes are the heads of figures walking up and down the stairs... Uhh. That one made no sense. He doesn't bother to draw this nonsense, only writing down "eyeball men on stairs" along side his project notes.]
Where was I? Yes! There's just too much going on all the time and I get distracted and I haven't actually gotten around to discussing physical effects or whatever; it's always less important that what I'm doing when I think about it, you know? Like here we are talking about this right now, but I'm not going to find Hieke or anything because I need to finish this project and then when Im done I'm just going to forget, but I'm like discussing that part with Rex, though! Do you know him?
[Toki digs through the bag of items he brought and pulls out the watch. He makes several attempts to actually put it back on before he's successful.]
Rex like enchanted this or whatever and it's going to give him details on whatever's happening in my brain or something!
[Rex eventually does figure out a potential vision warning system later during his student council campaign.]
no subject
Tik-tok, you need to go to a doctor. I've heard of Rex, but does he know how to deal with your visions? Just knowing when they happen doesn't help you deal with the effects. You need a doctor who has some familiarity with it. If you put some alarms and a schedule in your phone, you won't forget what you need to do and you can still get yourself checked out. I'll help you.
[She may not always take care of herself now, but Sarona knows how serious this stuff can be. She almost died so many times when she was little because her parents would put off worrying about her health until it was convenient or immediately necessary.]
no subject
[He won't tell her he's broken or lost three phones within the last month. It's a toss up whether his current phone will stay in tact long enough to send the alarm. He grabs the phone anyway to arbitraily pick a time to remind him of things.]
Okay! Alarm set! Can we do this project now?
[Though having a similar parental situation as Sarona, Toki was never physically ill enough for any immediate intervention to be needed. He's never been to a doctor for anything until coming to Daybreak. It hasn't been fixed as a necessary thing in his mind. It's an afterthought.]
no subject
Yeah, good. Let's get this done. Now we just need to look at whatever spell you were going to use and I need to bring up the sound of a fly buzzing on my laptop. Then we'll try to copy it.
no subject
Right! The spell~!
[Oh my god. He didn't do that either. He flips through his notes to something vaguely spell-like. He can't read several of the words, which either means it's Latin or some other spell-language, or it's just a jumbled mess of French that he misspelled or that had never made sense to begin with. He shows Sarona the "spell".]
Is this good?
no subject
[If Toki has been dealing with three to four visions a day, no wonder he can't keep track of anything he's doing. She knows she gets frustrated with him sometimes, but at least she understands more now. Even if she still wants to strangle him for not taking what seems like something really damn important as seriously as it deserves. Why are some people so blind to taking care of themselves?]
no subject
[It's an immediate answer. Help, Sarona.]
I don't even know if that's a spell to be honest~!
[Toki focuses on smaller things, one problem at a time, because anything involving himself or his future doesn't matter. Half the time he feels so disconnected from everything that he isn't sure he even exists. He doesn't know what he's doing, or where he's going in life; he's directionless and unimportant. This project, and almost everything else he does, is a distraction from that.]
no subject
Sure. Just let me look over these notes again so I get a better idea of it.
[As she hadn't taken this class yet, but she'd done enough independent research to have a grasp of what they were doing and what direction to take it in. She breezes through the notes, getting what she can from his handwriting scrawled across the pages.]
Okay, I think I know what we need to do. First we have to prep the items then we need to add in the auditory component with a different spell. Do you want it to project?
no subject
Uhh... Yes?
no subject
Do you want it to sound like the fly is buzzing around you, or do you want the sound to project somewhere else. Like a ventriloquist throwing their voice.
no subject
[He didn't think about there being a difference on where the sound would be perceived from.]
Unless that's harder to do!
no subject
It's a little harder, but not much. We just need to put a delay on the sound so that it comes across like it's further away. Like...a bubble with sound in it and when it's far enough away it pops so it doesn't sound like it came from whoever blew it.
[She hopes that makes sense.]
no subject
[That doesn't sound too complicated in theory, and the bubble analogy makes sense to him.]
I should be able to do this!
[Maybe not well, but whatever. Trying counts.]
no subject
Yeah I think we can work it. If you need help, I can give you some hints.
[She doesn't want to hand him answers or do his work for him, but she'll give him a few "cheat codes."]
no subject
He sets the ribbon and pen down in front of him. He's going to attempt to enchant them both at the same time, so they make the exact same sound. Whether that's a good idea or not is unknown to him. Toki leafs through his notes one more time, and reads through the spell three times before even attempting to say the words aloud.
The wiggles his fingers at the items while reciting, not that it does anything; it's just a little added flair. He pronounces no less than six words of the spell wrong and by the end, the pen has gone flying across the room.]
