So hypothetically, if you're an atheist (no judgement on people who aren't! ♥) and then learn your magic is the result of divine intervention, does that change things for you?

I happen to be in Enprise, so they can count as a debate!

Oooooor~! I might wander around and anyone can try to steal some coins [ inserted image of twenty weird coins ] from me if they can find me! I was a priness in another life and I'm the only staff member of the Stone Pegasus Casino left in town, so I count as double rich, maybe? Either way, it might be fun to see how daring people can get!

[ Feel free to respond with like action stuff about trying to find her, or have threads lead into that. she's being vague on purpose and moving around. ]

Are you saying you're like the Joan of Arc from your world? Just with a princess staple on it?

[As a fellow atheist, she is very much having a hard time believing Nat on this one, but has no reason not to believe her though. After all, there has been a lot of odd things going on, so. Blaming it on retrospec, as per usual.]

Good to see the reason we get along so well. Our girls have something in common.

[In which they are both princesses. In hindsight, it doesn't surprise her in the least bit that Nat would be one because she did remind her of the fairy princess of her memories.]

Your coins look like pebbles with, I'm assuming, constellations on them? How big are they, really?

[Not that she wants to get rich, but they do look nice though. Could be used to make very interesting decorations.]

A little between quarters and silver dollars, but they're closer to quarters, just thicker.

But Joan or Arc, that would *really* be something . . . I guess I was a Saint!

[ Even if she wasn't the hero. ]

How many do you have of those? Are you planning on giving those away at once once you're caught or do the winners get just one?

[It does make her wonder the reason behind her giving them away. Or, at the very least, trying to entice people to chase after her. It was odd, but...]

From a Bunny Girl to a Saint, hard to tell if it's an upgrade or not. Personally, an angel would've been a better fit for you.

[Angels are much better in her opinion. Unless Nat really looked the part as Joan of Arc, then she wasn't too keen on the whole typical Saint outfits. Or position. It just felt like Nat was going to become something like a priestess or one of those travelling nun types that is trying to save the world one way or another.]

What do Saints do?

If people want the coins they'll have to steal them fair and square, that's the name of the game. Buuuut if you're curious there's plenty of openings, I do have twenty of them.

But oh, Ava, I'm glad I'm so radiant in your eyes ♥

They're women with magic powers, at least in that world.

I'll keep it close to mind. I'm not much of a collector, so if I happen to get one, then expect it to be yours again. One way or another.

How couldn't I? You resemble the Fairy Princess in my memories.

[Who she may or may not be super curious about after first seeing a vision of her. It was only a shame she didn't gain new memories about her.]

Women with magic powers? What kind? Can I use video game knowledge for this one and guess it has to do with light or holy magic?

I've not remembered too many specifics... I know one woman can make bullets appear in her hand, and another can summon slimey monsters. My blades are one of them! But apparently, they're all women and get their powers from some good or another.

But oh, I'm only radiant by proxy... That makes the whole promise for me to get the coin back sound foreboding, like I might be extorted!

From a god, huh? I guess it's easier to blame it on a deity figure doing it than figuring out the real reason for their power.

[After a bit, she'll wonder...]

Is there anyone with the power to use music? Through song? To heal?

[That specific memory came to her a week or so ago about her other self having the power to sing in having sick people fall asleep, no matter how much pain they are in. She's been trying to figure out what type of power it was.]

Well, if it helps, it was your beauty that made her appear though. My breath had to be taken away for it to happen, you see. Cause it happened the same way as her too. [As for the foreboding thing.] Not to underestimate your skills or anything, but there are those who will use underhanded ways to get what they want. I simply want to be your knight and shining armor if anything were to happen! Just like last time. ❤️

Not one of the saints, but my cousin Elliot can do that! Healing and magic through music! He can so a *lot* of things with it though!

As for among the saints? I'm not sure.

[ But ... hahah. Wow. ]

That being the case though, does that mean that the coin is the wage to keep you around as my beloved knight? You don't just serve because of that breathless beauty?

[ Still, to be praised like that... ]

Your cousin Elliot? I didn't know you had family being active users.

[Still, to find someone to such an ability could be very helpful to know.]

What can your cousin do specifically with his musical healing magic?

[Her next question will get a bit of a laugh out of Ava. It was a little funny to her to think Nat believes she even cares about her coins.]

There is one thing mom always taught me: never offer a service for free until you establish a rapport. As much as I'd like to have a reputation in protecting the beautiful free of charge, who would believe it? I mean, would you believe me if we weren't already friends?

[If anything that wasn't the main motto her family have taught her, there was another and it was one Ava followed fully, even if other people may not understand it.]

If he sings a song while focusing his power, he can heal people's injuries! It works better when it's a song that's important to the people hearing it. But he can also make ice or light and so all sorts of other magic. And bake or cook magic healing into food? Elliot's really amazing, actually!

I used to have more family on the app before now.

If I knew you at all, I might though

That does sound amazing. His abilities are really...easy to tweak into all sorts of ways.

[Although, she is a little....concerned about eating magical food. She may be slowly accepting things, but there are just some things she isn't ready to mix together yet -- food and magic, was one.]

Did you?
I'm sorry.
If memory serves me well, you come from a big family, don't you?

Really?
I'm honored to hear it.
It isn't every day people are willing to believe other people's word.
It's kinda rare, really.

[ She doesn't trust people that much, honestly. But... ]

Maybe I'm the sucker here, but I doubt your ability to be duplicitous!

But yes, the Fairweathers are a big family. Most of them are still back in the town I grew up in, though!

[There may be a small smile forming at having read her first message. It was good Nat thought of her in that way; even if she did hate hearing her mother speak the same words to her.]

Thank you.
Well, as long as we don't play tennis together, then I won't have any reason to be.

Ha! Odd. For some reason, I always assumed you were from around these parts.
But you did mention being very popular back in your town too.
If you were from the rural areas of Recolle, I bet we could easily get some sweet deals over at their farmer's market, right?

Oh most of those people are hucksters or second hand people!

Buuuut yes, I can, for the ones who are at least secondhand from the farms themselves! It's been real handy

Oh, really?
I had no idea.
I always assumed it came straight from the farms.

[This is the reason it is good to have someone on the inside! Her mom's advice was spot definitely spot on there.]

How many times do you usually visit the farmer's market?

Oh *some* of them do, but it's a matter of distance! You can't just drive all the way to the city each time. So sometimes they send proxies, sometimes you have people doing that without being asked! It's a mix.

[ Hmmm ]

I try to go weekly, but, well, we did discuss my schedule the other day.

That makes sense! It should help in cutting down some costs too.

[Oh, look, she's using some of her business intelligence on this, but it was obviously the case, so it wasn't as impressive.]

We did. Wanna make it a monthly thing?

Us going together?

Sure!

Sounds like fun!
When would be a good time to make this a regular thing?

Depends, if it's monthly then I guess at the beginning of next month or end of this one?

Beginning of next month should be good.
Hopefully Retrospec will behave by then after they fix this mess.

Oh, and before we finalize this: what do you use to get to the farmer's market?

I have a Prius - I live pretty far from it so I usually take that. Sometimes the bus?
