[The feed opens on a close shot of Dakki, sitting on a couch and surrounded by colorful cushions. She's leaning in the slightest bit, hands primly in her lap. Propped nearby is a odd-looking staff.]

I've had luck asking general questions before, and this one's a bit more complicated than asking about fruits and vegetables. Hopefully someone has an answer? Aah...

[She trails off for an awkward moment, then clears her throat and tries again.]

I'm in need of a place to practice my thaumaturgy. Which is, in this case, er... throwing large amounts of fire and ice about. With the occasional... large explosion.

[There's another bit of awkward hesitation, this time as she presses her lips together in a thin line. Who in their right mind is going to suggest a place where she can go and cause explosions? But it is what she's looking to do... she has to be honest.]

I know there's a 'gym' set up for Moonblesssed, but that's more oriented towards physical combat, yes? Is there anywhere appropriate for practicing powerful magic?

Be careful, apparently using magic here drains your chroma rather than anything else.

[Oh! She recognizes that voice. Her expression brightens right up.]

I'm aware, I am! I've encountered it before. But I know a few tricks... and the exact methods that I've been taught for casting might offset it. Possibly. I... I need somewhere safe to test it.

[spacegoat]

I can understand this! I cannot tell you a good place as I am also in the search for this, but if you want to spar, I can be of assistance!

[castcure]

I'd love your assistance! Presuming I can find somewhere appropriate. There are some abandoned lots and empty places on the third level of the city, but... I'd rather somewhere where I'm sure that I'm not being a bother to anyone.

[spacegoat]

I very much understand that! It's important to not risk anything or anyone. I do not fully trust my magic here yet, so feeling it out, it will be important.

[castcure]

All the more reason to find the time and place to safely test your limits! It's mostly peaceful, here, but... not always. I wouldn't want you to be caught unprepared, if something happens.

[spacegoat]

Have you heard about any dangers?

[castcure]

I've experienced dangers. A few moons past, there were violent spirits roaming the streets. Several moons before that, there were fox cultists kidnapping Moonblesssed for some sort of sacrifice. There's that recent bad business with the terrible doll shop... And I've had friends encounter troubles in the more dangerous parts of the lower levels of the city.

[spacegoat]

Oh dear. I guess there's no world out there without some strife, but I had hoped this place was at least spared the more troubling kind.

I definitely need to measure my magic now.

[castcure]

I've certainly seen worse... but that doesn't diminish the seriousness of what can happen here. Not in the slightest.

Shall I let you know once I've worked out a proper place to practice?

[spacegoat]

Please do! That would be very kind of you!

I will be doing the same.

An update!

[castcure]

[Some time later, a new message will arrive for Minarii.]

Hello again! I hope this finds you well. I've finally found a place that I think will be suitable for spellcasting practice! I've attached a 'link', that if you use it, will bring up a map to it on your device. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon, if you've the time to come by.

Yours,

~Dakki Sigal
