So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

maybe you should try the whole flamethrower thing outside of town
just a suggestion

that is really cool though!
what's your other form?

I found out about it when the firewall was happening. I can only store so much before having to shoot some off.

Oh! I also have a bit of super speed in that form! Not, like, SUPER SUPER speed, but enough that I can go just about anywhere in the city in a few minutes.

Ummm, kinda hard to describe, and I have no idea what it is.

I think it might be something related to my genie though(he is why I have all the magic, he lives in my knife).

Maybe I kinda turn into him? No idea.

you've got a genie in your knife?
that's also pretty awesome did you get the knife from retrospec?

Yep! He doesn't talk, or grant wishes, he does give me all the fire magic stuff though.

Yep! The knife came first, then Amon(Genie/Djinn's name) popped up and settled in.

[Al sends a pic ]

whoa nice! that's a pretty cool looking knife
and having a genie hanging out in there sounds pretty fun too
seems like you've gotten a lot of interesting stuff!

Well, he doesn't talk, or anything :(

They are awesome! There are some downsides.

If I use too much magic without resting or taking in some fire. I die.

Also, the only way for me to feel really toasty and warm is to be on fire.

oh yeah those definitely are a pain
just make sure to be careful and you should be fine
being able to set yourself on fire might be useful in magatus
sounds like it's pretty damn cold up there

Yeah, I learned the first one the hard way, body gets super sore, then...yeah it gets ugly if I push myself after ward.

I never been there, but yeah, fire sounds like a good idea there.

How about you? Did you gain anything from Retrospec yet?

just some memories nothing too special yet
seems like i'll be getting a massive sword at some point
so there's that to look forward to!

How Massive?

Ooooh, so what kind of memories do you have?

it's as least as big as i am tall if not bigger

i had a cat who wasn't actually a cat but instead some kind of angel or something?
her name was morgrim and she was adorable

[...that's the most important memory, clearly.]

An angel cat?

She does sound adorable! You might get her in the mail you know!

Then you can RULE THE INTERNET WITH CAT PICS! :)

[Of course, cute angelic cats are the most important memories!]

oh you don't have to worry about that
i've already got three perfect cats of my own
and i run an adoption group for them
so i'd say i've gotten pretty good at posting cat pics online!

PICS! :) How adorable are they?

Do they like cuddles? My brother has a cat that hates everyone.

[He'll send over three pictures - the first is of a very fluffy and angry-looking gray cat who is missing an eye and part of her ear, the second is of a sphynx cat who also looks mad at the world, and the third is of a perfectly normal tuxedo-colored cat who appears to have flopped on the floor in preparation for belly rubs.]

they're very adorable!
they'll all cuddle if they're in the mood for it but it's something you can't force
what's your brother's cat like?

The second I went to his house that cat wanted to kill me, and as far as I know, he only likes 5 people at most.

What happened to the gray one?

Looks like it had a rough life the poor guy. :(

i'm not surprised that sorta thing happens a lot!
hopefully he's taking good care of the cat!

the gray one's phoenix
she was in pretty bad shape when she was brought in
needed extra care so i fostered her for awhile
problem was that she was older and kind of fussy
so we didn't think she'd get adopted
i loved having her around so i took her in myself!
i don't really know what happened to her though

Yeah, he does. I just get scared of his evil cat though.

He also got an owl, I like him better.

Oh that's horrible :( at least she has a good home with you now.
Has she warmed up since you found her?

[Since he lived in the streets for a while, he is always wondering how long it takes someone to adjust to a clearly better environment, since he struggles every so often]

she has yeah
she was really angry at first and didn't like me
but she slowly got used to me and eventually she would even come sit with me sometimes
not always next to me but in the same room
she's pretty fond of me now though
she likes to sleep on the end of my bed

your brother has an owl?
that's crazy it sounds like a really cool pet to have!
where'd he get it was it from retrospec?

Other him was a wizard, like, wands and...maybe pointy hats? His owl delivers letters too, not that I have really SEEN it do that, but, hell, it's wizards so why not?

It's great that she is adjusting :)

How long have you had her now?

hah really? that's crazy!
sounds like things are always pretty hectic between you two!

she's doing great yeah!
i've had her for four years now
she's still pretty wary around other people but she's slowly getting used to them!

Yeah, I can only imagine what the poor girl has been through, trusting people must be hard on her.

Lucky that she has you though, so her story should be much happier now :)

Well, it's not ALWAYS hectic, he introduced me to butterbeer! Stuff from his other life, non-alcoholic butter scotch goodness!

yeah and i'll be sure to take good care of her!

seriously? that sounds pretty awesome too
have you seen him use magic?
what kinds of things can he do?

Oh, well I haven't seen him do TOO much with it.

I've seen him shot fire out of his wand, restrain someone, like their muscles, go all stiff, put some sort of magical shield around stuff...

I think that is about it, that I've seen anyway.

those are all pretty cool things though
and he's probably capable of a lot more
depending on how long he's been getting memories back and stuff
i'm hoping i'll get back some cool abilities too!
