[It's a pretty ordinary day as ordinary days go. The weather's nice - sunny, warm, a calm wind...a very ordinary day indeed. And Norma is soaking up the peace and quiet in as much as she can. Dressed down in some dark skinny jeans (which she has learned as super freaking comfy) and a ruffly yellow top, she's laying on the grass by the bank of the southern lake. Usually, she'd be basking like this at the ocean, but that was just too far away this time, and she's feeling kind of lazy. Even the energetic ones have to buckle down and take a break to just relax once in a while.

She has a certain someone's hat (in black!) covering her face to keep off the sun and the insects that seem to be buzzing to life. The only bad thing about the springtime according to Norma. But, thankfully, not very many were out even now. She sighs under the hat crosses her hands behind her head to catch up on one hell of a nap.

...Until she hears a very peculiar buzzing in her ear. Thinking it to be a bug of some sort, she absently swats her hand at the sound, but it doesn't go away on little bit. It persists, and Norma frowns, using both hands now to swat the unyielding creature. Finally, she gets fed up and sits straight up, the hat flopping into her lap.]

OOOH, WILL YOU SHUT UP?! Some of us wanna take a nap in the sunshine, jeez!

[Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, miss, but there's not a damn thing around to be seen. In fact, the peculiar noise seems to be coming not from the flora or fauna, but from the lakefront. The water seems to be beckoning. Noisily. Or at least that's what it...seems like. Norma can't quite make out what the voice(?) really wants. If you could even call it a voice - kinda just an annoying noise.]

...Nessy? [No, no, can't be. Nerifes was back on her world, obviously. But wait, maybe it was one of those spirit thingies she heard about? Well, if that's right, then--] Jeez! It's about time! You're the water do-hickey person, right? I've been trying to get a hold of you for ever and you just wake me up like that?! Well, maybe I don't wanna talk anymore, how 'bout that? Not unless you got something good to say - or teach me or whatever. I could do with some water based eres under my belt.

[Later, after she's had her quip with Sona (who Norma's happily nicknamed So-Noisy),she opens her journal up as she dips her feet into the water of the lake.]

Uh, I don't usually ask for pointers on ere--uh, I mean...magic, but anyone who knows some good water spells or something, think you could give me a hand? I'm preeetty good with my elemental-based crystal eres, but I still don't know water, wind, and light. And just a little electricity.

I guess what I'm asking is if anyone's got magical talent, pipe up now, cuz I wanna learn more of it! Especially the ones I don't know! Oh, and I guess I could return the favor, too. I mean, if you wanna know some of what I know, I could give it a shot myself. Name's Norma by the way, for anyone who just got dumped here. Norma Beatty, expert treasure hunter and skilled eren in all aspects of offense, defense, and healing crystal eres, ta-daaah~!

And I'm cute, too. [Wink. ♥]

Raine? Isn't she the one that runs the school or something? [Norma's never been to the school - she's absolutely done with academies and institutes of all kinds - but she's still been curious about it, it's the scholar that still exists in her. Besides, some of the courses this school offers actually sound enjoyable!] I guess I could give her a ring, but I am trying to learn the other stuff, too.

What kinds of fill-all er--jeez, magic do you know, Antennae?

Yeah, that's right. She's one of the teachers there. She's from my world-- that's how I know about the kinds of magic she can use. I've seen her cast artes and stuff before.

[Then he blinks.]

Me? I have pacts with all of the Filial spirits now, so all of it, I guess. I just don't have a lot of reasons to use it most of the time.

[Artes again? Jeez, this is getting kinda crazy. There's no way all these people come from the same place...right? She's getting awfully tempted to do some detective work on figuring out just how and why there seems to be a very obvious connection between things - spells, really - in her world and others' worlds. Maybe that'll be a question she'll pose to that Raine chick.]

Whoa, you know all of 'em? Seriously?! Jeez, then we gotta meet up right away so you can show me the ropes, Antennae! How the heck'd you manage to learn from all the spirits anyway, huh? That's awesome!

Well, I have been here for almost five years...

[He'd feel a lot weirder if he HADN'T made pacts with all of them by now. Besides, who wouldn't want to play with magic when they can't use it back in their own world? That's his line of thinking, at least.]

And they all seem to like me, so it wasn't that hard at all.

Five years?! [Norma's eyes widen in shock. Wow, that's...um. Yeah, wow. Here she thought her own two years was pretty long, but there really are people who've spent a good chunk of time here, aren't there? Hell, Fifi was one of the only kids born in Luceti and who still remained here, too. It just seems so crazy, when you really think about it. They've spent so much time here, still growing and experiencing things. Yet, when they go back home, all that's taken away. It...really kind sucks, actually.] Jeez...

Oh, uh, I mean--yeah. That's awesome that you got along so well with the spirity-things. think you could show me the ropes of how you did it some time? Or your eres or arts or...whatever it is you've got.

I could try! I can't promise that all of them will like you, though. Some of them are on the grumpy side when it comes to agreeing to teach people. It usually takes Hyt a long time to decide to teach anyone, if he even agrees to it at all. He's not exactly the friendliest spirit out there.

Which one's that? I mean, I've kinda spoken to the watery spirit, and I wanna learn some wind eres, too, but whatever's easiest to teach. It's not like I've exactly got a time limit or anything in this place...I can take it pretty easy learning whatever, one by one.

[If Emil's been around Luceti for five years and counting, and she herself has remained for two years, then what's another few? Really, it doesn't seem like either one of them is going anywhere any time soon. As awful as it sounds, Norma really can take her time learning on her own pace.]

He's the light spirit. I would recommend starting with Nala or Kipinn if you want to learn-- they're the easiest ones to learn from. Nala likes just about everybody unless you do something to make her angry.

[Nope, time is definitely not an issue here, at least in Emil's eyes. He's pretty much resigned himself to the fact that he's going to be here for a long time, and he's okay with that.]
