The Tribute Youth Programme: July

Who| Adults who act as chaperones on the field trips. Any Tribute character aged 18 and under. This is ICly Mandatory for Tributes under 18 so your character will be there even if you don't tag in.
What| July's TYP round; Summer School Blues, field trips, and more...
Where| A private school building within the Capitol, a waterpark, a zoo.
When| Regular school hours (8 AM to 3 PM) four days a week (Monday-Thursday)
WARNINGS| Mind-altering juice boxes, indoctrination. Place any needed warnings within comment headers.
NOTES| If you would like your character to be caught trouble-making, please contact mods. We are looking for both Mentors to speak of the District they hail from (or represent), and Capitolite characters to talk of Panem's greatness. If you would like your character to stand as a guest speaker for the next round, please refer to this post. The fantastic Tribute Youth Programme uniforms are designed and drawn by Reiko.

The Tribute Youth Programme is back in full force. The Teacher missed you all!

Class will go much like it did before, anthems, uniforms, and all. By now the new badges should all be sewn right in. You still have the opportunity to earn more, and on top of all this, your letter replies have at last come in! Along with all the (questionably subsisting) pet bats promised of Panem Nightly.

This time is extra special, however, for there is a secret surprise planned for next month that the Teacher is preparing for. Something about partners for tents and canoes? Whatever that means. Maybe if you sign up early you'll get a partner you like. And perhaps asking among the adults if any would like to chaperone for the mystery trip.

As for this current trip, those who earned the bonus will get a free ride around the park on one of the elephants, front row seats to a live performance in the aquarium area, and a custom photo souvenir with their favourite animal.

"An educated guess."

He cocks his head just a little.

"We are curious. We do not meet many other constructs."

"Oh...um, okay."

The mage shifts his feet, unsure about how to carry about the conversation, especially with a topic he's still a touch sensitive about. "Where are you from, mister?"

"Outworld. It is a realm governed by magic and strength."

Exactly as it should be, in his opinion. The strong had earned the right to try to lead. The strong and the wise actually pulled it off, and various Outworld nations had prospered because of it.

"You may simply call us 'Ermac.' 'Mister' is too singular for us."

Vivi isn't sure why the man is referring to himself like that, especially since he only sees one body speaking to him. But the magic bit gets his attention because in all his time here, he's mostly met people who come from worlds where magic just doesn't exist.

"Okay, Ermac. I'm Vivi. Um...can you use magic too?"

"Yes. We can wield our spirits' energies."

He frowns a little.

"...We could in Outworld, anyway."

Being openly disappointed that his powers had been taken away couldn't be seen as treasonous, right? It was only natural to miss it, like having one's ability to walk stripped from them.

"What discipline did you follow?"

"I've never heard of that place..." Vivi muses with a shake of his head. He's not sure what the other means by spirits unless he really is being literal, but he's going to safely assume it's some form of magic he hasn't heard of yet.

"Discipline...? Um..." How should he word it? It's not often he's asked to go into detail about his spells. "I can use black magic, which is mostly made up of offensive spells."

Or virtually all of it is offensive. He really wishes he could learn white magic, not that it matters at all anymore, with where he is now.

"Offensive spells?"

He leans in just a little out of genuine interest.

"Are you a pyromancer? A cryomancer? Or do you wield all the elements?"

That would truly be fascinating. Every magic user he'd met had spent years learning to use just one element, but they were all...human, for the most part. They had to learn their craft. He'd been created with his own powers fully functional, and had simply grown stronger and more accurate over time. The idea of someone creating a being with full access to all the elements, someone essentially creating a kind of god...absolutely fascinating.
