20th of Rebirth's Height | Orb 1

[bedroomduties]

[Good afternoon, in this wonderful day, and by wonderful I mean uh, muddy and warm according to the info, we have this guy, dressed in his white and gold uniform, looking surprisingly chill for someone who seems to be a recent addition to the "champion" roster.

He flashes a polite smile at the orb once it is working.]

Good afternoon, I’m a newcomer. My name is Stephane Benjamin, from house Lancaster, but just "Stephane" is more than fine. I suppose you must see quite a few of these transmissions, considering how good these guys seem to be at picking heroes, so let’s spice it up a little with some conversation.

Is there any kind of organization among us uh... "heroes"? Or do you just roam around and do whatever you feel like? I wasn’t told anything about champion politics, and I wouldn’t like to step on any toes.
Also, if anyone at least knows exactly what’s the thing we are supposed to be fighting, that would be nice to know too. Other than whatever they told me about those thorns I’m pretty much walking in the dark here, and I’m in a bit of a hurry to go back.

Any information would be really useful. I can’t offer much in exchange, but maybe we can chat and find if I can be of any help. I’d be glad to lend a hand, even in exchange for some casual conversation. Maybe weather talk? It's pretty crappy today.

[He grins a little this time, pretty satisfied with how his first timer speech came out.

For the rest of the day Stephane will be roaming and peeking into every single place that is not off-limits, and then later in some quiet place he'll be swinging his brand new sword to get used to it, and obsessively checking his old gun-now-crossbow to make sure it works okay, so I guess anyone who wants to can feel free to bump into him.]

02 Spells ❂ Acceptance

[bestow_magic]

If Ive learned anything in these past few weeks it is that this world possesses a fair amount of magic in itself.

[As evidenced by the way they had all been summoned here, the thorns,and including more recent events such as the influences of the moon]

As I have been unable to return to my own world.. Ive decided to redirect my efforts into saving this one. If that is the only way to return to Cephiro then I shall do everything in my power to aide in these efforts.

[Clef had been a little stubborn at first but now he had resigned himself to this task. Suffice it to say, if he did happen upon a way to leave he would still seize the opportunity.]

Has there been any progress in learning more about this world or it's perils since we last spoke?

2nd Reading ❂ Trouble is brewing?

[l33t_magician]

[It had been some time since Brietta had addressed the populace. She'd seen no point in getting attached to the people here given her intention to leave, and fully believing that she still could. Leaving too early could spell disaster for her back home, but the longer she remained here the more she missed her friends and acquaintances. She wondered if any of them had been looking for her or thinking about her.

If only she could send them a message to let them know she was all right without letting her enemies know it as well.]

Has anyone noticed the townspeople acting .... a bit strange today?

[You could see a row of boarded up shops in the background. The merchants that usually ran them were no where inside, presumably hidden away safely inside.]

I wonder if it's some sort of holiday.

02 Water Drops ♒ Housewarming

[flightless_faerie]

[The orb seemed to be rolling across a dirt floor, a cacophony of crashing sounds accompanied it.]

This will never do...

[Rani exhaled plaintively as she crossed over to place her hand on the orb. Most of the sounds ceased save for a persistent dripping. Her troubled yet serene face gazed into the orb]

The other talents make it look so easy.. [but she was getting ahead of herself] Hello everyone. [She tried for a smile] I did enjoy my stay at the castle, but I thought it would be nice to make my own home. [something closer to nature and her element] .. but I'm afraid it's not going very well.

[She moved aside so everyone could get a better look. The house was nestled inside half of a hollowed out log. Water dripped from a knot on the ceiling collecting in a thimble that had been placed below it. There had been an attempt to make furniture but the remnants of which were strewn about.] Does.. anyone here know how to make fairy sized furniture? I could really use the help. Any help really.
