[ The video starts on a particularly tired looking Ruby, the girl looking none-too-pleased and much-too-exasperated. She appears to be in an inn room. ]

Okay. I think it's time for me to finally admit that I need help figuring something out. I am trying to figure out what stones are useful for green mages, specifically with helping either concentration or control. I keep reading books but it seems like every one of them has a different answer, or there are details I don't really understand and...

I just want to find a stone that may help me train my green magic since it is... [ She pauses and purses her lips a moment before speaking again. ] Well saying my green magic is excitable would kind of be understating it. It's gotten better, but it still all rushes out really fast the moment I'm not working with dried plants, and that is sort of a problem since it's all used up before I really get any practice in.

In return for information I offer a nice meal, since my magic does behave for dried herbs and spices, and I've been learning from the cooks at the inn!

Please tell me none of "us" are hunting down animal mages. It's bad enough that the natives are, especially when we have nothing to do with the extra animal parts. Some of us are victims too.

Unless someone did some wacky ritual. Then fuck you.

[ Monika started the video feed on an impulse. She'd been spending hours trying to work up the courage to post the quest in text form, but to no avail. Best way was to get rid of it without thinking. ]

Hey everyone! So um, I'm here about that quest from Merlin. [Okay, she needed to clear a misconception first:] It's not like I need it or anything, but I kind of get completionist instincts when I see a time-limited quest reward. [There.] And besides it could theoretically be very useful if you had a crush on someone and didn't know how they'd react to your confession... If that spell worked on them, that'd mean they're also attracted to you, right? N-Not that I have anyone like that yet, but you never know... A-Ahaha...

[ Gosh. Why couldn't she have shut it up after she mentioned the completionist thing? ]

Um... Anyway, that's a pick up line first, right? [She cleared her throat.] Well, u-um... Are you an overdue book? Because you have fine written all over you!

[ With that said, she marked a pause and looked away, her face red as a tomato. That was the best she'd been able to come up with... Thankfully, her best was incredibly lame. Surprisingly, it was more embarrassing to say stuff like that to an open audience than to a single invisible player. ]

As for a line that'd work on me... When I look into your eyes, nothing exists for me anymore because I lose myself in them. [An agonizing pause. If lameness could kill, she'd be dead.] I-It's pretty good, right?

rutilance

I, like many others, now have a second form of magic. I have confirmed I can control it in most settings I've applied it, but I would like to apply it to something new.

The problem is that I would like to choose somewhere outside of the city so that if something goes awry I won't risk hurting anyone but myself. I would like this location to be close enough to the city that I won't be unable to get help. My familiar can bring help to me, but I would like for help to be able to get there within half a day's walk.

If anyone knows of any location suitable for my purposes, I would be grateful for the information.

[ What Ruby isn't mentioning is that this magic is green magic, and that she more or less plans to see how fast she can make thorned plants grow, and if she can make them grow quickly in great numbers. She'll be testing how wicked she can make the thorns at a later date: first comes making sure she can keep things under control. ]

[ The video starts and the girl on the other side of the camera looks... Concerned. ]

Just how many of us are there? [ She starts, almost tripping over her words to elaborate. ] Kids, I mean. Just how many of us here are kids?

Are we all staying at the inns?

[ She pauses, biting her lip for a moment before speaking up again, her voice a little more sure this time. ]

I think we should look out for each other. [ Because adults can't be trusted to. Even the ones who mean well. ] A lot of us are small, I'd bet. And a lot of the other kids I've seen don't really seem like fighters. Those of us that are, we should help them.

Those of us who don't know how to fight can learn from those of us who do know, and those of us who don't want to know how to fight can be taught how to keep a better eye out for themselves and the rest of us.

The more of us that know how to defend ourselves, and the more of us that can keep an eye out for each other, the better chance of survival we have in a situation where we are at a noticeable disadvantage.

[ She wasn't quite suggesting a gang of feral children, but close enough. ]

rutilance

Hello. [ The voice is young, likely a child. ] I am hoping to learn how to do archery, but I don't know where I could find an instructor. If anyone knows someone who can teach and doesn't mind teaching a thirteen year old how to use a weapon I would appreciate the information. And just in case anyone wants to complain that a teenager is looking for training in a weapon because you think teens shouldn't fight, I would suggest looking around and realising that we have to defend ourselves, [ She wasn't 'subtweeting' Darin, just people who would have his initial reaction to her knife. Honestly, if he's as good of a smith as he says he is she'll probably ask him to make a bow for someone her size... Maybe. ]
