Does she need to lead the clones to her room? Does the store manager come along?

Permalink

They do need to be led. 

The manager stays behind, resuming his place at his seat.

The clones... Aren't very intelligent. They can sort of follow simple commands, and that's about it.

Permalink

That is even more impressive than she had thought (with no other knowledge she would have assumed they were puppets controlled by the manager).

She will have them arrange the furniture and such. Will they go back and/or dissipate on their own after that? (While they are at the traveling and arranging, she will reach out with magic senses. What are they like.)

Permalink

They sink into the floor when dismissed, chakra dissipating.

They're constructs of earth, with their creator's chakra signature applied like a mismatched stamp over the earth's essence. They have barely any chakra, just enough to keep them animated. The chakra is entirely self-contained; they're not connected at all to the manager.

Permalink

Is that ground chakra or the creator's chakra in them? Can she tell?

Interesting

Permalink

The creator's chakra, mostly.

Permalink

Yes she can, then. That is very useful.

She notes the feeling of all of it. She examines the room for any more chakra work.

Permalink

The seals, definitely. Nothing else active.

Permalink

She will examine the seals.

Permalink

There's chakra contained in varying patterns, all from one person. There's a feeling of - not quite potential. Something like tightly coiled energy, almost like a boulder poised at the top of a cliff, or a gear about to move. The chakra moves within the ink, confined by something within it.

Permalink

It's fascinating.

Rian had mentioned sealing being math-based. She checks if she can detect anything she will notice as mathematical.

Permalink

It's highly geometrical - the angles are precise, though that's harder to tease out since they vary between seals. All of them have some sort of symmetry, usually radial. Several of them form fractals. And - the chakra's not moving flatly, there's hints of more in its flow, as it shifts between dimensions not entirely comprehensible to a human brain.

Permalink

She notes the shapes. (She'll wait on extensive analysis until she has more data, and also until she's seen if she can just get the information from someone who already has it.)

She has plenty of experience with things in the general category of 'not entirely comprehensible to a human brain'. She notes those parts too.

 

Is anything currently urgently demanding her attention?

Permalink

Not really. She might be getting hungry soon, but it's still a bit until the next meal time.

Permalink

She will be perfectly fine on having eaten in the kitchen.

 

She considers ordering of plans. Looking for a tool combines with seeing more of the hideout and meeting more people. If she does not find what she needs soon enough she will attempt to use one of the throwing stars.

Talking to people is likely currently the best first prioritized path towards exploring the magic system (though she will continue looking, as well). If someone wants her for something she will wait for them to seek her out, for now. 

 

She considers if to change clothing. Being more clearly from elsewhere is likely preferable at the moment, but may still not be worth the tradeoff of the spells on her current clothing, even not particularly active as they are. She considers for a moment, then redresses, folding her old clothing away.

Weapons, next. She should likely have asked about etiquette. Were the people's she's already seen being here armed?

Permalink

Most of them are, yes, with a variety of weapons.

Permalink

She will carry hers visibly, then.

 

She heads out. Did the clones install a door? Does she need to do something to it upon leaving?

Permalink

There's a door! A bit of experimentation will reveal that it seals automatically, and unseals when she goes to open it.

Permalink

Convenient.

Does it give some interface-like indication of being sealed or it it just detectable magically?

If this seal was not one she would have seen from inside she will examine it too.

Permalink

When it's shut, the seal forms along the seam and glows briefly. That it remains sealed is mostly detectable magically, though it's possible someone with more familiarity with seals would be able to tease out more. 

It definitely exists in multiple dimensions, though it's only 'on' when the door is shut and the two halves are touching. Some poking will reveal that an arc of chakra extends between the halves even when disconnected, hard to see because it's not within standard three dimensional space. This seal feels less complete than the others, like it has room to expand or be changed - in comparison, the others were very self-contained and purposeful.

Permalink

She is certainly poking.

She notes the difference as another element to pay attention to.

Can she tell anything more specific than 'not within standard three dimensional space'?

Permalink

It's hard, but - there's a total of six dimensions, one seeming to mirror each of the standard three.

Permalink

Is this the 'folded up/folded on themselves and into things or such so that one doesn't generally run into them' type of extra dimensions, or the 'going somewhere else, like to another universe' type, or something else?

Permalink

'Going somewhere else', but still within this universe - it's more that they're additional ways of moving, analogous to 'up/down' if she was working only with 'left/right' and 'forward/back'.
