Who: Nightingale, and you!
Broadcast: Video, fleetwide
Action: Bishop, if you need her
When: Now

[When the video starts, Nightingale can be seen, a large wooden staff leaned up on the wall next to her.]

I've been here for a few months now. Nearly half a year, even. And in that time, I've noticed that there's a ton of different worlds represented here, and most of them have different forms of magic. I'm a mage myself, so I find it pretty interesting.

So, I'd like to hear about all the forms of magic represented here. Especially if it's possible for you to teach it, or at least the basic principles and rules behind it. I'm trying to research if principles from one form can be applied to other forms from other worlds. Maybe combining magics from other worlds that aren't supposed to interact could be our way out of here.

[She levitates her staff from the wall to her hand, where it promptly vanishes- No point in discussing all of this magic without a demonstration, right?]

On a different note, I'm still working on a guide for new arrivals here. If anyone is willing to help give information that isn't contained in the guide I have, it would be a big help. Thanks.

[The feed ends there, but the video has a file attached to it that opens up to her introduction guide.]

Fortunately, I'm not cool, or a kid, and magic is way stronger than a sword. As for dates... What, are you interested? Sorry, but I've already promised a date to someone else.

Ew, no way. I was just trying to give you some perspective on the term.

[but she's a lost cause top to bottom on that front]

Side note, do you always take everything so literally?

[at least you've confirmed she is definitely a nerd]

Yeah, usually. Unless I'm solving puzzles or dealing with people I know well.

[... And because she strongly suspects having her explanations go awry like that will tick sarah off.]

[ahaha, good instinct]

Wooooow, I thought you couldn't up your game. [that nerd game is strong] Are you a puzzle whiz or something?

... I guess? I was the one who solved them for my party. All the best treasure is usually hidden behind puzzle locks.

Seriously? Hidden treasure behind puzzle locks? [wow did this girl come from a video game or what]

Don't the bad guys know that's just inviting people to take their shit?

[well, i mean. yes.]

Less 'bad guys', more 'long-dead ancient civilizations' and 'monster-infested caves'. So, not really.

Huh, never took you for a looter. But I guess no one's perfect.

Adventurer. It's not an uncommon job in my world.

"Adventuring" to dig up old dead people and steal their shit? Whatever floats your boat.

Adventuring through monster-infested ruins and taking the treasure from in there. It's not like the people are still around anymore.

[she shrugs her shoulders in an exaggerated manner]

Like I said, whatever floats your boat! You don't need to defend rifling through ancient resting places to me.

[she literally doesn't care, she's just trying to be an ass]
