Those..things yesterday--why the hell did the City let something like that loose? N-not that they were scary or anything. They weren't so tough against a few fireballs...I think we might need to replace a couple things in the house

Playing with fire, hmmm?

Well, isn't that too frightening.

[blastiafreak]

It's smarter than getting close to those things or having a staring contest all day.

A few scorch marks won't kill anyone.

[an_alkahest]

As long as you don't burn your fingertips!

[blastiafreak]

Please, I have better control than that. Only the lamest of mages actually get injured by their own spells.

[an_alkahest]

Well, now. You must have been studying for long.

[blastiafreak]

About five years, but a fireball's the simplest spell there is.

[an_alkahest]

Really. And what counts as difficult?

[blastiafreak]

The 'advanced' spells, I guess--Meteor Storm is probably the most powerful I know.

So who are you, anyway?

[an_alkahest]

Dietrich. I'm what you possibly call 'inept' at spells.

[blastiafreak]

Most people are, Dietrich. But magic and other special powers work differently in other worlds from what I've seen. Do you have anything like that in your home?

And I'm Rita. Rita Mordio.

[an_alkahest]

Really... isn't that too eccentric?

I suppose I wouldn't know. After all, I'm only a student.

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, but--it'd be nice if anything here actually made sense.

A student? What are you studying?

[an_alkahest]

Technical crafts. It's to provide a stable income for my family.

Say, you're not too unsettled by this place, are you?

[blastiafreak]

Uh...I've been here two months, so...I wouldn't say I'm getting used to it, but we're managing.

How long have you been stuck here?

[an_alkahest]

I think I lost track of the time. Ahhh, it's no good being so absentminded, is it?

Miss Mordio, would you happen to know what to feed a child?

[blastiafreak]

A-a kid?! ...Wouldn't it just eat the same thing as anyone else?
