[In the common room, there are large stacks of colored paper on a simple wood table, a bowl filled with all different types of writing tools, and a small sign.]

What do you desire?

[Feel free to draw or write or mingle. Kain may be around.]

[HOLY CRAP IT WAS AN ENTIRE PLANET OF CYGNUS. gosh they must have had nice uniforms.]



That sounds . . . so dull. Why would anyone want that?

[his_favourite_subject]

People like feeling superior. Secret knowledge gives them that opportunity.

[thevineintervention]

[god people why]


That must have been hard, for someone who loves knowledge.

[his_favourite_subject]

I managed. It's more worrying to think about all the people who could have had the potential to be magi in them but will never know, just because they weren't lucky enough to be born into a family that was already "in the know." Some folk manage to discover their magic on their own, like my grandfather, but not all.

[thevineintervention]

Will you tell me about him?

[his_favourite_subject]

[Blink]

Who-- my grandfather? There isn't a lot to say...

[thevineintervention]

No? But it seems like there must be a story there. When he was born, it was written, "not a mage, wrong family," right? But still, something drew him to that power.

Mm, if I'm following correctly, of course.

[his_favourite_subject]

Ah... that's right. But I never knew him personally...

[thevineintervention]

I see.


My apologies, then.

[his_favourite_subject]

[Handwave] It's fine, it's not like you can have an emotional attachment to that which you never knew.

[thevineintervention]

No, I suppose not. I wouldn't be able to tell my father from an evergreen!

[c-covering his mouth with a hand to hold a laugh...ffffpthhahhaaha]

[thevineintervention]

[oh dip, I totally made your shit laugh]

Hmm~?

[his_favourite_subject]

[S-Straightens and clears his throat]

Well. Yes. Indeed.

[thevineintervention]

There's no penalty for smiling, you know.

[his_favourite_subject]

What-- I-I know that!

[thevineintervention]

Just so we're clear!
