I'm so sorry to bother everyone again, but... um... I have a question?

[ Connie is himself for once when broadcasting, apparently feeling better and better about showing his true face to everyone. He's holding a bit of stick incense in his hand, absently twirling it. ]

Is there... is there any way to measure how much gold is in chroma? I have... the evil kidnapping foxes, they killed my ferret, and I need her back, but the spell is... it needs a component of incense, charcoal and herbs worth a specific amount of gold, and I'm not sure how to balance that in our... money.

[ He sighs, rubbing the back of his head and kind of getting the stick tangled in it. ]

I haven't actually done this without my master. Do summoning spells even work, here?

[ He really hopes so, he misses Grace a lot. ]

There are people here that other people would not see as 'good', but they are in other people's eyes.

[ His father would hate Fish, and Fish was the best person in the world to Connie. ]

Do you think that's it? Maybe they take in people that just... need this? Getting close to others, I mean. Even in just trusting ways rather than carnal.

[nightmarewoken]

Ahaha, well, I'm not sure I'd go quite that far. I'm fine with how close I am to the people I know at home. [ Just ignore that nervous tension in their voice. ]

But...it wouldn't surprise me if at least they chose not to bless the kind of people who would really take advantage of others' kindness while here, or go around being generally unpleasant to everyone. [ A shrug. ] It's just a theory, but it would explain a lot about the people I've met so far.

[wildsorcery]

[ He hears it (amd knows the tension well) so he backs off a bit, because he doesn't know Mayhem enough to push. Instead Connie nods again, hoping what they said is true.

After all, people who would take advantage of the moonblessings and other things that were going on here would be disastrous. ]

Have you met a lot of interesting people?

[nightmarewoken]

Here and there. [ Their tail sways back and forth thoughtfully. ] More performers than I expected, although that might be more related to the kind of people I find interesting enough to seek out.

Maybe they like people with a lot of color? Both literally and figuratively.

Welcome back!

[nightmarewoken]

Hah! As likely a reason as any, right?

And how about yourself? You seem a little shy for the stage - do you have a vocation of your own besides magic?

[wildsorcery]

Oh, I... I really do not have the stomach for the stage...

[ He'd be a whole mess of panic, honestly. ]

I don't quite know what I would do with myself. Um... I've only had about three years to try things. I guess I know a little about smithing, but I can't really lift the hammer.

[nightmarewoken]

Mmm, I'm not much for physical labor myself. ...I guess not everyone's lucky enough to stumble across their passion as soon as they get out. [ Said casually, and then Mayhem remembers that not everyone has to run away from their parents, and quickly amends to ] Ah, out of the house, I mean. Away from home for the first time and all that. You're not the first person to take some time exploring what you like.

[wildsorcery]

I don't think it's for me, either, but that's the only talent I have that's even close to a profession.

[ He definitely ran away from his family. Very much so. ]

Magic is kind of new to me as well, so I'm just... in-between everything right now. Just trying to figure out what my life is.
