[It's pretty early on the second day of the event--it's only just turning light outside--when Souji turns his camera on an interesting device he's made from stuff he's found around the area.]

I had to make one of these for a project in middle school. [He turns the camera around to point at himself.] I thought it might be handy if we manage to draw a crowd.

[Next, he turns the camera on a pile of junk--but heavy and sharp looking junk--that he's gathered. Based on his other zombie-event experiences, this stuff should work well enough.]

I'm going to need a hand to try it out, if anyone has some time.

[intelligently]

Not breaking a wall would be a good idea. I'd go out with someone fast, or strong. Someone that could definitely get you back in.

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji nods.] This wouldn't even be a problem if I had my powers.

[intelligently]

You have powers?

( Things she still doesn't automatically ask: this )

[eatsyourscience]

Yeah. Here, I mostly use them for healing. But I have some offensive powers, too.

[intelligently]

What can you do?

[eatsyourscience]

I have a few elemental attacks and some that are mainly just physical force. But I've also got some healing and protective spells I can use. They aren't much good outside of combat situations, though.

[intelligently]

Protective spells sound like they could be useful more than in combat.

Is it magic or something else?

[eatsyourscience]

It's magic, in a way. It's the power of my soul given form.

[Or something.]

I think a lot of the spells have broader applications than I'm used to them having. I still haven't figured them all out, though.

[It might be worth looking into.]

[intelligently]

Have you talked to anyone that knows about magic here? I've asked people about supernatural things from their worlds but everyone's stories are different. The information is still useful.

( It was also more difficult when the knowledgable people hadn't encountered something specific - like a banshee as opposed to a werewolf, but information was information )

[eatsyourscience]

I haven't.

[Which, now that he thinks about it, is a little strange, since he's been here so dang long.]

It's a little weird that that never occurred to me.

[intelligently]

It's not weird if it isn't something you wouldn't normally have done. Some people keep what they can do a secret, so asking about it wouldn't be their first thought.

[eatsyourscience]

[That makes sense and he nods.] In Wonderland, I really only use my healing skills. They're the ones people usually need.

But if I use my defensive skills more, maybe the healing skills won't be needed so much.
