Whoa...the post settings from the admin accounts are really different than the normal accounts. I'm sure you're expecting Jo or Maury or one of the others but those are all people who are way smarter and way more qualified than me, and those people are working overtime to trace down a signal we keep picking up on. Not sure what it means yet, but I'm hoping for the best. We thought we were able to isolate the problem when the other regions appeared on the current layer but it's something deeper. But hey, isn't that what we're all trying to do here? Hope for the best. Call me curious, but what's your favorite color? I've been teaching myself color theory lately.

No dates, unfortunately. There is a ton of work to do.
Though I would not mind a distraction of that nature...

But the weather is nice, and it gives me an excuse to run errands.

[nachetanya]

Oh no, you're fishing for dates that obviously?! People might be afraid to bite if you do that!

[ascatic]

Oh, no! Not like that. But I can see where I may sound desperate.

I would feel guilty dating here, in a way. But to have more friends, I would not mind it.

[nachetanya]

Oh no, don't worry! I promise I'm legal!

But no, seriously, what's to be guilty over?

[ascatic]

Well.

I suppose, at some point in my life, I was... in love with someone?

But that is not the same life I live now.

[nachetanya]

Oh, ominous!

Was it more of a bad breakup or something tragic...?

[ascatic]

It might have been both.

Regardless, it was serious enough for a ring to be involved.

I would feel guilty if I were to go on a date, only to discover this same individual is out there, somewhere.

[nachetanya]

. . .

So is this a matter of the amnesia we all have, or a second set from this life?

[ascatic]

The former, of course.

The latter would be... incredulous.

[nachetanya]

Amnesia does still happen, you know! It's not all magic and exploding worlds.

[ascatic]

You are not wrong, though I would argue that magic is probably the best unreasonable answer to many problems in life.

But you have red eyes? That is fascinating. Do you know what particular shade of red?

[nachetanya]

Rose? Crimson, maybe? It's a bright shade!

But wow, really? Magic's done that much to you?

[ascatic]

They sound striking, and a very distinct feature to have.

To the version of myself that is not from here, I believe so. While I still think 'magic' as an excuse or reason can be humorous, some of it seems extreme.

Though, being able to conjure fire would be nice to keep things warm...

[nachetanya]

They are! Or at least I think they are? Want a pic?

Still, you think fire working like that would be nice . . .

[ascatic]

Sure. Better to see a picture than go by a description.

It would be. Perhaps I will one day remember how to do it. Sometimes, it feels like magic is only seen as a thing to be used in combat, but the applications in the everyday and mundane would be just as magnificent.

[ Linked here is this image, though as it is her AU self she's got a prosthetic left arm and she's got shorter overall hair (so basically not the braid in the back) ]

Probably! I'm not sure how to use mine that practically.

[ascatic]

Ah...

Are those rabbit ears real?

[nachetanya]

Nope! Afraid not.

[ascatic]

Hm.

They fit you quite well, along with the outfit. I can see how it all matches your eyes.

[nachetanya]

Thank you! I guess the me of another life thought so too.

[ascatic]

I wonder why the other you thought of the ears. At least there was a decision made behind it, or at least, a good reason.

Your garment reminds me of a... mage's. Or some kind of caster-type. A wizard? A sorcerer?

[nachetanya]

A Brave!

It's not too far off though? I'm still not clear on what it all is! But I know I could both fight with a sword and make more swords appear in the air and launch them forward.

[ascatic]

Swords with swords.

I suppose if one is to be good at something, you should invest yourself deeply into it. But to use swords as darts, essentially, sounds like a potent skill to have.

[nachetanya]

It really seems to be!

I guess I was able to behead people from at least thirty meters accurately.

[ascatic]

Thirty meters...

[ he's going to have to put up a 'no beheading' sign in his cafe ]

Do all Braves have this kind of power? And how would one distinguish themselves as one, other than swords flying all over the place?
