[Spells. Eugh.]

Probably. Would it be possible to see a demonstration? On a log or something.

[whathawksdo]

[ Look at all these haters, Hawke don't even care. ]

Of course. [ She turns about, scanning the area until she spots a promising log. ] There.

[ Stabbing her staff into the soft ground to help keep herself grounded as she pulls together the spell -- the air around them practically fills with some unseen energy, the sort that makes hairs on the back of necks stand up -- and, after a gesture towards the log to focus it, she turns her hand palm up and raises her arm, as if lifting something. The log fidgets, then gets yanked upwards, along with some smaller rocks, bits of debris, very suddenly.

Of course, this only reveals what she's chosen is actually a-- ]

Ohhh, not a log. So not a log.

[ Nope. That's an alligator. A large one. Now thrashing around in the air wildly.

Well then.

Uh. In her defense, it looked like a log. ]

[failureisntachoice]

[ At least this demonstration won't result in a house crumbling on top of anyone. She's watching Hawke closely as she starts her magic trick. It's impressive up until a damn gator is suddenly in the air.

Tex's visor is in the way, but she's leveling a rather flat stare at Hawke. ]

Yeah, if you could avoid that when you haul me out, that'd be great.

[burningbothends]

[That feeling in the air... Much like a transmutation, only far more sustained. But Roy is pulled out of further thought when the log starts... thrashing.]

No... no, that is not a log.

[whathawksdo]

[ Thrashing, thrashing, then slam, Hawke ends the spell by closing a fist and bringing it back down. The gator's back in the water, at least, and likely too dazed to come out after them just yet. If anything, it'll get the hell out of there as soon as it can. ]

Well, try not to be standing on any drakes and it shouldn't happen. [ She shoots back at Tex, letting out a little huff of irritation at that. Like someone in a tin suit that thick would even be bothered. ] It worked as a demonstration regardless.

[burningbothends]

Well—I could put some solid, soft ground under her easily enough. Would that be sufficient?

[failureisntachoice]

It better be able to hold the weight of my armor, [ she warns. ] I don't need the ground breaking beneath me.

[whathawksdo]

If it can't, we'll just keep trying until it works out. You know, try, try again and all.

[ Probably a little too upbeat for being stranded in a swamp after fighting invisible hounds from hell and all. ]

Ready?

[burningbothends]

Yes, yes. Go ahead.

[Roy claps, and kneels down in preparation.]

[failureisntachoice]

[ ...Is he about to play patty cake with the ground? She's already seen Hawke's trick and her attention is now fixed on whatever the hell Roy is about to do. ]

Yeah, go for it.

[whathawksdo]

[ Patty cake, patty cake, Maker's Fist.

Hawke turns her attention to Tex, stuck in the muck as she is, and repeats the same gestures and spell that she'd used on the unfortunate gator. There's a little more strain to raise her target, this time around, but the spell takes hold regardless and drags her up into the air as abruptly as it can manage. ]

Do it!

[burningbothends]

[The space around Roy's hands cracks with miniature lightening, and almost instantly a platform of earth rises out of the swamp, directly under Tex. When she is unceremoniously slammed back down, she will find that Roy was kind enough to add a few inches of nice, soft dirt on top of the rest. Quite sturdy.]

[failureisntachoice]

[ Well shit.

It's the first thought that comes to mind as she's raised and then thrown atop the platform. The next one being-- ] Fuck.

[ It really is a good thing she can't break her bones, but she needs a moment to grumble and recover atop the newly created space. Once she's ready to move, she's up and scanning the ground for the best spot to step before she's moving again. ]

Thanks. I wasn't looking to ditch my equipment here.

[whathawksdo]

Always glad to be of assistance.

[ Killing people and helping people, it's what she does. After that, she turns, this time towards Roy. ]

How does that work, anyway? Just slap your hands on any old thing and boom?

[burningbothends]

Its science, not magic. [Pointedly.] The manipulation of matter on the atomic level; it only works on 'any old thing' I know the chemical composition of.

[failureisntachoice]

[ What? Hawke isn't the only person Roy has the attention of, especially after that answer. ]

That looked a helluva lot like magic to me. What does the chemical composition have to do with it?

[whathawksdo]

And you've lost me at atomic level.

[ Sorry, she doesn't do science. ]
