2nd Pyroblast: [Voice/Action for the Sun] (Opposite Day!)

[Chandra isn't much of one for using the journals at all. The whole...talking at a book thing...is kinda odd and writing isn't really her style. But some days are so freaking weird that you just gotta talk to people. And today? Well, it's definitely one of those sorts of days. Even for someone used to strange things just happening all around, waking up with a whole different set of parts ranks pretty high on the freak-o-meter.

Finding clothes is a pain, and he'll probably wind up raiding the laundry room just to find something that's even mildly appropriate. Sorry Thatch/Logan/Ace/Marco or whichever unfortunate person is now without pants, but there's a dire need for them here!

Eventually, a deep masculine voice comes through, patient and calm and completely unlike the highstrung, nearly psychotic Chandra from before.]

Voice

So. Curses. How long do they usually last? Because let me tell you I am having a hell of a time with this one. It's harmless, but inconvenient.

[He chuckles.]

But it is eye opening, that's for sure. So in the interest of opening a dialogue, tell me guys and girls...assuming you got...changed into the opposite gender for a little while what would you do? Also for you guys out there, what would you say are things a gal should experience that they might not...ordinarily...be able to. If...say...they'd been changed into a guy and were wanting to get the most out of an awkward experience?

[With that, Chandra'll shut the book and go out on deck to sit and wait. What a day. Ugh...]

((ooc: Chandra's been genderswapped for opposite day (Obviously!) and replies will come from

craterizing))

[He shrugs placidly, a far cry from the usual Chandra.]

As far as I can tell, yeah. Selphie's not herself. What's up with you?

Is she okay?

[Asami hasn't been near the journals yet nor has she seen Selphie today. She creates a small flame from her hand when he questions her, but not before taking a step back]

Well I'm pretty sure I'm suppose to be a firebender now.

Yeah, just cranky.

[His eyebrow lifts at the little flame and waves his own hand, a bit of his own magic touching it...letting it grow. That much is still the same at least.]

That's not too weird. Especially not to me.

So long as no one is possessed again.

[It shouldn't be too bad. Hopefully. Asami nods and cracks a small smile as the flame grows, she'll admit, it's pretty cool that magic can do that.

It takes her whilem but she finally manages to make the flame go away]

I didn't think it would be, for Ace either. But I'm not use to bending, so I'm having trouble getting control of it.

Doesn't seem like it.

[His head cocks to one side.]

Trouble? Well here, sit down and I'll help you.

Would magic work the same way as bending?

[She doesn't sound too sure about that, but sit down regardless. It couldn't hurt to try]

Fire is fire. I don't see why not.

[Really, at all. Crossing his legs, Chandra assumes a meditative posture.]

First, you've gotta focus on the flame. Completely focus. Block out everything that isn't the flame and my voice.

[Oh! Asami attempts to do the same thing, getting in a meditative posture. Though she makes it pretty obvious that she's never really meditated much before.

Yeah okay. She thinks she's got it now]

Like this? Now what?

[Wait...]

Oh right...

No, no.

[He'll reach over, expression bemused, and correct her posture with broad, gentle hands. Clearly, he's about as awkward in this body as she is with meditation.]

You've got to relax a bit first. Otherwise you'll just feel uncomfortable while you're sitting there.

All right.

[This would've been awkward regardless, but at least Asami does have patience. Unlike a certain Avatar friend. So she takes a slow and deep breath and makes attempt number two at the whole meditating thing]

Now, think about the fire. [He calls up a ball of is own flame.]

Hold it above your hand. And just think about that, and nothing else. Imagine it as a ball, and if it tries to change, don't let it. Just concentrate.

[Surprisingly enough to Asami, this is working. She might not manage to keep a perfect ball of fire when she makes her own flame, like Chandra, but she's doing an okay job. Better than before anyway]

Amazing. I definitely think this is working out better now.

[The ball of fire twitches a little when she says that]

[He grins, nodding at the sight]

All it takes is focus, you know. Nothing too hard, just...focus.

[And he'll concentrate, the flame becoming a little bird-shape, flapping around.]

Try and make it change.

Yeah.

[Asami eyes the little bird shaped fire]

I'm not sure master firebenders are even capable of making something like that, but...

[But hey, she can make a fire dagger at the very most. It's a basic skill level, but it's something]

Good thing I'm not a firebender, huh?

[The bird shifts and forms into a little scabbard, floating over to cover up the flame dagger.]

Your world's magic is still pretty cool, though.

I think you can give them a run for their money.

[Especially with what happened in the whole kitchen incident and the whole...other stuff that Chandra can do]

I really think it is, but so is everything else around here. I've never heard of anyone ever covering their entire body in flames before.

I don't think I could give them a run for their money, I'm positive I could make a joke out of the best 'em.

[Chandra is not humble. Ever.]

And you haven't? Really? Well, guess that's just another world difference. I know more than a few. And then there's Ace too.

How far can you go? I mean, what's the limit of your powers?

[Asami says that totally out of curiosity. Chandra would get along perfectly with Korra, honestly]

Well not coming out of the body. You and Ace are the only ones I know that do that.

[Chandra lets out a laugh, more rumbling than her usual.]

Limit? I haven't actually found one. I destroyed the entire plane I was on when my Spark ignited. Give me enough of a reason and I can move mountains, melt a city or crack a continent. Here, I'm not sure though. Feels like whatever Davy Jones did to me to keep me here also weakened me. But I haven't really had a reason to go all out.

[Again, not humble. But in this case she's telling the truth.]

[It is good that Chandra didn't seem like a villain at all, or else Asami would be a lot more worried. But she just sounds more bewildered than anything]

All with just fire? Or do you have any other elements?

The elements you'd think of are all a part of magic, yes. But Planeswalkers divide our powers up by the color of energy, or mana, we draw on. I mostly use Red mana. Fire is a part of Red magic, yes. But so is Earth, as well as lightning. And other more...ephemeral things. Strong emotions like anger, sudden terror, hate, or even lust are also part of Red magic. [And he's sure Asami will guess which of those he likes best.] So, when I want to affect the Earth to, say, cause an earthquake? I'll use the same color of power as a fireball, for instance. Or to make someone just freak out and panic, too.

[It's certainly different than what she would have thought. Asami would have associated Earth with some kind of green mana, not red, but then again this isn't her world. The more he explains it the more she can understand it...to a certain extent. Laying her arm across her knee, she lets her fire dagger go out]

So what you're saying if you really wanted to, you could start an earthquake right now, without coming in contact with the ground? [....] Not that I think that would be a good idea.

Sorry for the questions, but...what exactly is a Planeswalker?

[Chandra nods, lips peeled back in amusement.]

Absolutely. And no, no it's not a good idea.

[Dismissively, he waves a hand.]

And no worries. I don't mind. A Planeswalker is someone who has a certain spark in them. It's a kind of power you just...wake up to one day. One in a billion chance you'll have it. But when you do realize it, your magic gets a lot stronger and you can travel between planes. Worlds, realities, whatever you wanna think about them as.

Basically, if Jones wasn't messing with my powers, I could just leave and take all of you with me.

[Not that it wouldn't be interesting to see. But yeah, way too dangerous.

That explains it more for Asami and she nods at the description, the name was actually self-explanatory]

That would really be helpful right now, but...it still makes me wonder why he wants to keep us here in the first place. None of it even seems logical to me.

[Unless he's just a big jerk. Oh wait. That would make some kind of sense too]

Well, not a lot about his actions makes sense. If he wanted the gems found faster, he'd have just...opened the plane to Planeswalkers, not futzed with our magic, and just let us work. We'd have it done easily.

Dunno why, no offense, he stole you non-Walkers away.
