"System call"... something something?

[bluerosestyle]

Ah, that's the Sacred Tongue. It's the language used for Sacred Arts.

[sleeplessknight]

[orz why]

... I can probably remember it.

Can you say it again without using um... resources?

[bluerosestyle]

[chst. nods!]

It's System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[sleeplessknight]

[repeats after him, her pronunciation is a bit awkward, but:]

System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[bluerosestyle]

That's right. Make sure to picture the result as vividly as you can in your mind as you say it.

[sleeplessknight]

[nods as she keeps mumbling to herself, trying to memorize it]

System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge. System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge. System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge. System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge...

[bluerosestyle]

[eating, sort of pretending not to notice]

[sleeplessknight]

Is it safe for me to try...?

[bluerosestyle]

Yeah. The worst that can happen is that flowers or treasure will disappear even if it doesn't work.

[sleeplessknight]

I-Is that really okay...?

[bluerosestyle]

Mm, flowers can grow again. Roses are especially good for this, but I doubt you'll find any...

[sleeplessknight]

Good for making things warm?

[bluerosestyle]

Good for Sacred Arts.

[sleeplessknight]

Oh!

Right. Okay, here goes...

[she closes her eyes, holding her hand up, with her palm facing Eugeo's arm and...]

System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[she's picturing the same kind of orb Eugeo created earlier, but at the same time she's also thinking of how it feels when she's used her newly acquired thermal control ability to keep herself/other objects warm before, trying to imagine it as vividly as possible in her mind]

[bluerosestyle]

[It seems to work at first-- but then the orb flickers out of existence.]

That wasn't bad for a first try, it took me about a month to get that far. Maybe if you try again...?

All around her, flowers disappear.

[sleeplessknight]

[noticing that and. visibly panicking a little]

M-M-Maybe not here!

[bluerosestyle]

Oh... Sure, you can try it on your own later.

[sleeplessknight]

... Do you know what this is for?

[shows him the key that the goblin dropped earlier]

[bluerosestyle]

Huh? It looks like a door key.

[sleeplessknight]

... I know that. I mean, what door?

[bluerosestyle]

[? looking at the key, reaches fo--

stops himself]

Where did you find that?

[sleeplessknight]

One of the monsters from before dropped it before disappearing.

[bluerosestyle]

. . . They've never dropped anything for me. But goblins come from the Dark Territory, so... maybe it's from there?

[sleeplessknight]

You mean that place where people aren't supposed to go?
