Who: rinnn and you
When: Day 46, late afternoon
Where: FOURTH FLOOR, IN SOME EMPTY APARTMENT
What: lolol more magical experiments

[ maybe you get pinged by magic

or maybe you just are nosy or maybe you are pinged by swearing. which has happened with frequency about every fifteen minutes, and with vitriol.

but there's some girl sitting in an apartment up here. There's a pile of rocks next to her and a crazy magic circle on the ground in front of her with a rock shaped like a lopsided bowl in the middle. A lopsided bowl with a giant crack down the middle :T

There's also a notebook with some stuff written in it off to the side as well as some food on a plate ... study munchies '-' ]

I-it's just normal! To want that . . . There's always people going missing, so you'd have to be fucking dick to not want to help with a distress signal that could cut down on that.

It's pretty admirable. I admit that I was thinking selfishly first.

What the fuck's wrong with that?

[ seems somewhat relieved. ]

. . . Nothing. I'm glad we both understand that.

Anyone who doesn't get it is just lying to themselves.

Some people . . . just don't believe in themselves enough.

Is that it . . . ? I think it's more like they want to believe they're more saintly than they actually are.

No, there's definitely some broken morons who actually believe in just . . . [ waves a hand ] but you're right too. There's people like that around too.

Would they really say the same thing if it came down to some random person and someone they actually knew, though? Anyone can believe in that, but it doesn't mean it's what anyone actually does. You have to be crazy to seriously never think of people you know first.

Like I said, broken morons.

Fair enough.

. . .

You said you go out into the forest a lot. . . for anything in particular?

Animal parts and food. I've got some regular deals going for a few things, and one of the guys in my apartment has the appetite of a small platoon.

[ nods ]

So you guys are mostly fighters?

We've got other skills, but . . . yeah. Primarily fighters.

That's convenient.

It is?

I think it's pretty easy for some people to feel useless here.

. . . Being a fighter doesn't always help with that.

That's true but . . . 'someone I care about is lost' or 'I need to eat' . . . those are things that are helped a lot if you're a fighter. Waiting is the hardest, I think.

Aa . . . That's a good point. I don't know what I'd do if I had to just wait.

Hopefully not run off into the forest like an idiot.

I'd prepare better than that!

. . .

Prepare and then run into the forest like an idiot.

. . . You know the gods can give out powers, right? I'd get something useful from one of them if I didn't have skills of my own.
