I dream of gardens in the desert sand
WHO:
false_oracle,
innerflow, closed
LOCATION: Agrabah; just out in the desert.
TIME: Around noonish on Saturday, the 24th of September.
WHAT: Magus has gone to Agrabah; Mercury is there. Line-facing will ensue.
RATING: Ah, PG-13? Possible R, but I doubt it.
For a number of reasons, and not just because he wanted to find a place for himself and Schala to start a new life, Magus had been learning about the other worlds around and visiting them. And while he had found that he could teleport to other worlds, it would leave him drained for a while. As such, he had been taking such explorations at a slow pace.
His current exploration was Agrabah. He has intended to arrive in the city of the land, but he had never been there before and pinpointing his teleportation from this distance was a fool's game. Which is what landed him in the middle of the desert.
Of course, for all of his magic and all of his power, it was still draining on his power to teleport like this. It took him a moment to gather himself after arrival, which gave time for several Crimson Jazzes to appear, hopeful to pray on the dark heart of the weakened mage.

The attack blew back several Heartless; if Heartless could be said to have feeling, a good guess would be that they really didn't like water. So much the better for her. Of course, the Heartless had the advantage of numbers. She needed to find a better position, and-
Magus?! Why was he here? She didn't give any warning of the danger; she knew he was strong already. But it caught her off-guard to encounter him here.
"We need to make sure to push them back." They may have been in the desert, but it was too close to populated areas for her liking.

He touched his forehead, mumbling a spell under his breath. Flecks of frost shimmered in the air around him. He brought his hand down and out. Sheets of ice formed around him, crushing the Crimson Jazzes that were swarming on him.
He looked at her again. This was a weaker spell.
It only took a moment for the ice to vanish, the energy of the hurting them further as it dissipated into the quickly warming air.

"I didn't know you were hunting them too," she managed as soon as she had the space to breathe. "Let's continue together!"
no subject
"I am not hunting them, Ami," he said, finally looking at her again. "Or do you go by some other name when cloaked so."
Flea had not but... he had always been very open about what he was under all those illusions and enchantments. Ami was, at least, keeping the same form.
no subject
Her name, however... She lied instantly.
"I don't know what you mean, but I'm Sailor Mercury!"
no subject
If she wanted to lie and claim some other name, let her. If she, in this form, wants to distance herself from Ami, let her.
"Why are you hunting them?"

"How altruistic," he said, his words slow and sarcastic.
The sun was hot on his pale skin and he pulled up the cowl he generally left to lay at his shoulders. The last time he'd worn it, he had been passing himself off as the Prophet to his mother, a woman he had discussed for some length with the girl near him now.
no subject
"This group seems to have retreated. However, there may be others nearby. Shall we go together?" It was a sincere enough offer. "I'd be happy to accompany you to town, too. I know you're strong enough to handle these, but it doesn't seem right to wander alone, either."
no subject
"What else is there, aside from the town?" He did not really wish to go with her but if she had knowledge, he might as well make use of it.

Magus thought for a few moments. A cave would be cooler, although it would remind him of the hovels the Earthbound Ones lived in.
"Have you been through many of the caves?"

If nothing else, it would be something to pass the time until his magic came back enough for him to teleport.

"As to water, you can clearly create your own."
no subject
"Then we can go right away."
no subject
"Yes. Lead on."
Normally, he isn't willing to follow along with someone, but she knows the way and he does not.

Occasionally, he muttered under his breath and frost crystals appeared in the sky around them. Either he was intentionally working to keep them both cool, or Mercury is just getting an effect from a large area effect spell.

It wasn't just arrogance. He was nearly twice her age and had been studying magic, with little thought beyond saving Schala since he was eight. Although he hadn't really focused on ice magic. His focus had been shadow magic, the combination of lightning, fire, and ice.
no subject
She'd already seen some of his capabilities, though. "I'm glad for the opportunity," she said simply. "The caves should just be a few more minutes - you can almost see them on the horizon now."

"It's enormous!" The view she'd had earlier hadn't prepared her for the close-up. "And doesn't it look a little... sculpted?" Like a giant, gaping maw and a yawning throat.
