ORB - RD8
[Cho looks a little surprised, though mostly fascinated. Her video shifts as she walks fully around the orb, and then ducks down to examine it from the bottom and goes up on her tiptoes to examine it from the top.]
Huh. Um. Hello. My name is Cho.
[The floofy dress and crown have long since been stuffed in a bag and Cho is wearing her Rowan traveling leathers. It's made her slightly more comfortable, but not much. What she really wants is information. There's magic in this world almost like the pull which first brought her to Rowan. If she can understand it, it may help her to keep the promise made to her fellow Worldwalkers. Save this world and, in return, gain the knowledge to find the way home? Sure. She'll make that trade all day long.]
I'm new to Einmal. Most recently by way of Rowan, or the bounded world, and before that Earth. I'm looking for a library, or a city hall of some sort. I'm looking for information on the magic of this world, specifically anything worked through spells or song. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, yes, of course. I've tested a few simple spells.
[To demonstrate this, Cho traces an offensive spiral in the air and throws it at a nearby tree, which is suddenly mostly toothpicks.]
But there's always more to learn, right? There may be skills I can acquire here that I can't in Rowan, and then I'll be better suited to my task when I return.
no subject
Today is not a day for learning, Sorceress.
[ Only coincidence that he calls her by the right name, for he himself prefers the title Sorcerer over other words of magic. ]
We are under a shroud. The King is missing, and no one knows how to find him.
no subject
But that's not even remotely important right now, is it?]
Oh my. What is-- Is someone searching for him? Are pocket dimensions possible in this world?
no subject
[ He pauses, considering. ]
Your powers; they are strong? Flexible? Or are you only able to destroy?

Why is it difficult to get any help?
no subject
[Granted, it's not like he tried reading any of those books himself...]
no subject
There's no great library here, is there?
[Can you hear the despair in her voice? She's a bookworm. How does a bookworm survive without books to worm?]

And I think most of the magic runs on gestures and words or will, though it's a bit varied with everyone from different places.

[Which means she's screwed, doesn't it?]

[[Already in D&D terms. Good start, Bakura Ryou. Good start]]

Wizards have uncontrollable and random probability magic. If they really work to hone it, they can discharge at will, but anything could happen. They could turn a building into pudding, they could create a talking chicken, they could cause everyone to smell cookies and taste pennies.
I've got a theory about balance, but I haven't been able to prove it yet.
[Cho's never actually played D&D, so you're safe.]

Vacuums didn't exist as anything more than a vague concept until a couple of years ago.

That's wonderful. Who is Faolan? Where can I find them?
[Of course, just because something sounds promising doesn't mean it is promising.]
no subject
[Isn't that reassuring?]
no subject
Well... that's good. It means I don't have to find him.
[See this smile? Yep. This is the smile of a woman who feels bad and is totally going to let you drag her all over the city because of it, if that's what you want.]
It's nice to meet you, Faolan.

[Coming from Sif, that is quite the statement.]
no subject
Yes, I've heard. Apparently this world is even worse off than I thought.
no subject
[Meaning that you can't brandish a sword for an answer to every problem -- in this, Sif loses power. Nor can you brandish knowledge, locked up so carefully as it is.]
no subject
[Luckily for Cho, using a sword to answer problems is fairly new. Using the manipulative psychological maneuverings of the social and economical elite, that's far easier. She hates it, but it's still natural as breathing. Which kind of sucks. And it's probably why she woke up in the stupid dress and not the badass armour.]
So, what sort of favour do I have to do and who do I have to do it for to get a look at this monastery library? If they're so protective of it, it might be useful. [Beat.] You ever notice how often things go that way? They need your help, but they don't want to help you help them.
