Spell 2: Runtime! [Day 249]

[twinked_witch]

Who: Megaera D'Ashland, anyone who would be out and about in the evening.
Open?: Open

Where: The communication network, or out on the Skyway.
What: Redhead's first shard run! ... It will probably not be the best first try.
Format: Anything, can match
Warnings: Mild violence.


[Network, Morning]
[Megaera's voice is fairly light and calm for... Well, someone in her entire situation.]

Okay, so. I have a place to sleep, I have space for keeping what little stuff I've got, and I've got a goal: Get right back to mastering magic. That's going to take... A lot of things. Many of which I'm only going to know about as I get close to needing them.

And the best way to get things around here, correct me if I'm wrong, is with these 'shards' you get from heading out and beating up monsters. Not much other loot, it seems, unless I find interesting things out in that weird space, but that's all right.

Anyone have any particular advice for a newbie to heading out there? In particular, does anyone who knows teleportation magic know if it's possible to use it to get back here safely? I'm cautious about messing with anything involving dimensional manipulation out here without being sure it won't end horrifically. I'm sure you understand.

... Might be good to try and get a weapon, too. I know my way around quite a few, at least. Any advice there? Especially for getting magic weapons? Psionic weapons would also be okay.


[Action, Skyway]
Megaera's first trip out, ultimately, was unarmed. Though she does seem to know her way around fistfighting... At least a little. Pointedly, whenever she finds any monsters, she seems to stick to open hand strikes, using her nails as a basis for doing damage. They're decently effective... Somehow.

She'll probably either need or want some help if she finds anyone while on her travels, though. She's being awfully quick to flee, for one, which is keeping her from getting many shards.

Ibuki's going to need to help you to take it easy! You're going to scare everybody with all of your stories at this rate!

[twinked_witch]

Perhaps. But then again, I'm also the sort who'd rather know what could happen so I can know how to deal with it when it does, you know?

[scary_music]

Ibuki is not hearing any of it, Meg-chan!

When you return from the Skyway, you and Ibuki are going out on the town for a night of fun!

[Whatever that means...]

[twinked_witch]

... What.

[scary_music]

...

[Okay Megaera seriously-]

You. Me.

Games! Swimming! Climbing trees! Combing each other's hair! Sleepovers! Fun things!

[twinked_witch]

[Megaera pauses.]

Aha. I see. It could be nice to try and blow off some steam, perchance...

[scary_music]

Good, good. You had Ibuki worried for a second! Let Ibuki know when you're back from your Skyway trip, and then we'll have some fun!

[twinked_witch]

Somehow, I think you'll find me first.

[scary_music]

Hmhm! You're probably right! Ibuki will be keeping an eye out for you in case you try to sneak off to mope somewhere alone!

[twinked_witch]

Now hang on. Just because I'm snarky and commentative doesn't mean I'm prone to going off and moping.

[scary_music]

Oooh, sorry, sorry! Ibuki is making bad assumptions of somebody she hasn't known for long! Please forgive her!

[twinked_witch]

Eh. It's all right. Just... I need to try and focus, too. To redevelop my magic and learn it in the context of this new world.

[scary_music]

Right, but don't work too hard! All work and no play makes people not have as much fun!

[That's not how the saying goes...]

[twinked_witch]

Hrm... A bit obvious, but a point.

[scary_music]

Yup yup!

So, Ibuki will see you after you're done, okay, Meg-chan? Unless she meets you on the skyway!

[twinked_witch]

See you then, then.
