[Yuri continues to stare into space and more specifically the fountain in the wonderland district. Yeah it was no lower quarter fountain but it was the closest thing and he wouldn't admit it but he was feeling a bit homesick. He wasn't in the mood to deal with Splendor right now so he had put his seal on another bench along with his key. He had a

[timetotossdice]

[Mat has been walking around aimlessly, but he stops when he sees Yuri.]

Was this Flynn a friend of yours?

[He leans against his ashandarei and pushes up his hat. His one eye is curious.]

[action]

[timetotossdice]

Everything can always get flaming worse.

[A shrug. He's going to stop leaning on his weapon and sit on the bench now.]

I still can't believe this place grants bloody wishes of all things. [He's talking to himself. He sounds kinda horrified that Splendor grants wishes though.]

[action]

[heartscrepes]

Hah hah true enough.

[He shuffles a bit to give the guy room]

Yeah, a bit of a nuisance.

[action]

[timetotossdice]

[A blink.]

Have you had something bad happen because of wishes?

I'm Mat Cauthon. Who're you?

[Manners, finally partially remembered.]

[action]

[heartscrepes]

Heh, even if I hadn't, I'm not much for wishing, it's a bit of a waste of time. What abou tyou?

Yuri. Yuri Lowell.

[action]

[timetotossdice]

Yes. In my world.

[Looking at the ashandarei.]

[action]

[heartscrepes]

In your world?

[He follows the gaze to the weapon]

[action]

[timetotossdice]

The Eelfinn grant three wishes. I wished for a way out and got this.

[Shifting the ashandarei slightly.]

I also wished the bloody holes in my memory would be filled and a way to be free of the One Power.

[Pulling out the foxhead medallion from under his shirt so Yuri can see.]

They had a price.

[action]

[heartscrepes]

[He would've asked what all of these words meant but decided it would be a long story. He looks at the medallion a bit oddly. Well to each their own.]

To wear that thing?

[action]

[timetotossdice]

[Have a stare.]

No. That's what makes it so the One Power can't touch me.

[He tugs on his scarf until a scar is visible.]

The One Power is the magic in my world. [A bit of an explanation because no one seems to know what he means.]

[action]

[heartscrepes]

[Hey come on you walked into that]

Huh.

[He blinks at the scar but keeps his poker face on]

I guess it's like the blastia in my world. [He lifts his arm to show the gold bracelet] That's what made us use magic and bring out our full potential.

[action]

[timetotossdice]

Let's just say I don't remember how I got out of there. [He remembers waking up with a rope around his neck though.]

I think blastia are more like ter'angreal, angreal, and sa'angreal than like the One Power if they can make it so you can use magic.

[action]

[heartscrepes]

Sounds familiar.

...Uh huh...sure.

[action]

[timetotossdice]

You have to be born with the One Power.

[He doesn't feel like explaining any more than that, so he's looking at the fountain.]

What do people even do for flaming fun here?

[action]

[heartscrepes]

Huh.

I don't know. I think I've explored every place in this city, it's not a very exciting place.

[action]

[timetotossdice]

Blood and bloody ashes.

[A sigh.]

I guess it's a change of pace...
