[Call filtered to all non-drones]Um. Hello all. I uh... I hope you're all doing well considering the recent events. I know everyone's been having a tough time. I want to apologize for anyone I may have intruded on! I can assure you it wasn't my fault, it was one of the, um, curses from the town that was causing it

I didn't realize that you were magically inclined... Should you want help, I might be able to teach it.

[perfektsymmetry]

Oh, er, well, I don't think I am? I wouldn't know really. They don't really have it where I'm from, it's more like... psychic abilities. I don't have any but many people do. My best friend has command over shadows, like his father does. Another friend of mine is super strong! And another has a sort of... technological gift, where he can, uh, communicate with machinery. It's hard to explain, I think.

I more want to learn how how it works, the history behind it, things like that. I.... don't think I'd be able to cast it, right?

[tooshallpass]

Oh... Well if you're not already, I'm not sure what I can do about teaching how to use it... You're either born with or without it, in my world. I don't think there's ever been a case of someone who couldn't use it suddenly being able to.

I'm more than willing to help you with the rest, though.

[perfektsymmetry]

Ah. I was wondering if it was something like that. [He sounds disappointed.] The powers I described... people are born with those too. You either have it or you don't, simple as that.

Well... more I'd just like an understanding of how it works? Or what kind of spells have what kind of affect? I just think that... maybe that's the sort of angle we need to take with Mayfield. If we ever want to try and understand what is going on and how it all works...

It's quite alright. Other people have offered to help me build my canoe so I got it built in time.

[perfektsymmetry]

[Trying not to be disappointed. Failing.]

A-ah. Well. I am sorry, it was all a very strange situation. Every time I entered a room I'd be teleported to another. But turns out that it was connected to the item Mayfield sent to me... Did anything weird like that happen to you?

Well, good luck with the canoe then. Let me know how it goes!

[puffinparadise]

Uh... I got back my cape, and every time I tried to walk, it'd wrap itself around my legs and I kept falling. Every time it did that, it became more and more difficult to take the cape off.

I'll be sure to do that. Though I had to call in someone who could help since I waited and it didn't seem like you were going to show up.

[perfektsymmetry]

Oh goodness. That's just... odd. The town sure can be creative, huh? [Nervous chuckle.] You managed to get out of it, I imagine?

]O-oh god why did he have to say it like that sobbb] .... ah. I really am sorry! But... since I figured out what the problem was and someone's holding on to my item for me. Seemed to have helped the problem.

[snapshot_brat]

I don't think you can learn magic without any crests.

[perfektsymmetry]

Without any what? Like I said, I'm not very familiar with all of this...

[snapshot_brat]

Crests. Normal humans can't use magic, but with crests, anybody can.

[perfektsymmetry]

Oh, I've never heard of that! But, I'm guessing that's not something you can get in Mayfield anyway, right...?

[bustydefense]

A lot of people have asked similar questions in the past, so I assume you'll find some willing friends.

[perfektsymmetry]

Thanks, I hope so. It seems like there's a lot of people around here who know magic!

[bustydefense]

Not all of them are willing to share, I'm sure, but enough are.
