3rd Data Entry [voice / action]

[cuteobsessed]

[Heisuke has decided that his earlier attempts to contact the lightning spirit in the hot box failed because of one thing: A LACK OF SCIENCE. So now he will be 100% serious and scientific about recording this data and doing this right. To that end, he uses the journal to record his observations and calls the others in his house to come help him collect data.]

First experiment of the day: placing a spoon into the box and testing it for 30 seconds.

[The sound of him putting metal into the box and turning it on can be heard. ]

There appear to be sparks, but nothing significant....

[ooc; Heisuke has lost his sense of humor for the event, so he's going to be utterly serious about this. It's for SCIENCE.]

House 40 action

Uh...

[Sannan is lingering nervously in the background. Heisuke for once seems so serious, and he's not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. What he does know is that this doesn't look very safe at all...]

Toudou-kun, are you sure this is a good idea? [--as he glances helplessly at Tatsu. We are going to die.]

[Tatsunosuke does not have a good feeling about this. No, Tatsunosuke actually has one of those gut-wrenching, crippling, painful feelings he gets when something is about to go completely and terribly wrong. And Yamanami's look doesn't help.]

Just try not to make it mad, Toudou-san. [Tatsu doesn't know if the spirits speak orz yet, and he really doesn't want to find out.]

It's important we learn how to speak with them.

[And he takes the spoon out with a towel, replacing it with a small metal bowl.]

Second attempt - metal bowl. Same time.

Be ready you guys.

House 40 action

[Sannan takes a few steps back and gets ready to run for his life if need be.]

R-right, just be careful. [aside, out of Heisuke's hearing] I thought you wanted to learn healing magic first...

[Tatsunosuke is right there with Yamanami, including the preparing to run for his life part. His legs are still sore from chasing down Tammy, but some things are worth the pain--and for Tatsu, fleeing from an angry lightning spirit ranks right up there with saving Tetsu's virginity.]

Healing magic? [This sounds like a good idea. A spirit that teaches how to heal has to be less angry than one that shoots lightning.] Toudou-san, what about that? Maybe you should go back to trying to learn how to heal first!

[Before he gets them all killed.]

...Sparks? You're not trying to burn down half the town, are you.

[Heisuke loses a sense of humor, Baiken gains one. What is wrong with this world.]

[Voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

[The world has gone Bizzaro.]

On the contrary, I'm trying to talk to the spirits.

[Voice]

[sanzu-watashi.livejournal.com]

The spirits, huh. I hear they're normally more helpful when you're outside.

Re: [Voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

That's what I've heard, too.

But I was able to summon some in here. I'm trying to figure out why.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

What kind of significance are you looking for?

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

Enough to draw the attention of the spirits and bring them back. The first time, it caused a minor explosion. I'm attempting to discover how far I can go before that happens again.

[ishisfriend.livejournal.com]

Did they stay there before the last explosion?

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

They must have. The spirits caused the lightning.

Heisuke? What are you doing?

[Sup, Serious Heisuke. Meet Demure Toph.]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

[Is the world ending? The world must be ending.]

Experiments. To see if I can summon the spirits back into the box.

voice;

[banditsblindly.livejournal.com]

[It certainly is.]

Oh, that sounds very interesting! Why do you want to do that?

voice;

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

[/scream]

I heard that speaking to them could be useful and meditation was taking too long. This way, I can both see and hear the spirit right away. A shortcut, but a well-thought out one.

[Placing a spoon in a box... which causes sparks.

...

HOLYHELL.]

Wh-what are you doing!?

[Voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

Summoning the lightning spirit. [And he's dead serious about that.] Why?

[Voice]

[daisy023]

B-But it's dangerous! You'll cause a fire! [You can tell she whimpers at the very idea.] W-why don't you talk to him someway else!?

[Voice]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

I have water nearby. And it's faster here. All I have to do is press a button and the spirit shows up. Efficient, right?

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

... This might be a weird question, but why would you want to put a spoon in a box in the first place.

[ voice ]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

It isn't weird. I'm trying to contact the lightning spirit I summoned in here the other day.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

... Lightning spirit? You're capable of summoning something like that with a spoon?

[ voice ]

[cuteobsessed.livejournal.com]

That's what it seems like.

[A crackle of electricity can be heard in the background.]

It works better with larger things, however.
