I'll keep this short and to the point to give you guys time to strategize, catch up, all of that.

Congrats on your Magatus missions. Looks like everything's been cleared out as best as we can, but the region's been evacuated thanks to a couple of factors.

The new problem is we just added a bunch of people to city limits.

I've got some good news and some bad news.

Bad news: need some people out in Pesgare to do some deepdiving and recovery. It doesn't look like there's anything out there that'll kill you, but I need something from down there to stabilize Recollé itself.

Good news: got the subway working. Did you know it was just about coding? That's a little crazy to me and okay, I might have found out on accident, but…whatever was blocking exits from the city was just a false creation.

It means getting out of here and checking out the progress outside. The trains will be ready for departure in about a week, I'll get some maps drawn up and everything. I could really use some of you on location scouting.

Finally…who knows about machinery? We've got a problem we should probably look into, but keeping track of that eye's a huge pain in the ass.

Discuss, get in touch with me, prepare. You know the drill.

Yeah, his power is super useful! He might struggle a little more with orbal magic than Crow and me, but I think it's just because his magic shows up in other ways.

[SO DON'T FEEL BAD REAN YOU STILL SPECIAL!!!]

Ah... thanks, I guess.

Honestly, it's weird to me to hear you guys and Al talk about them. I don't even notice most of the time

Haha, sorry. But that's the cool part to me! I have one sensing spell, but I have to activate it and it can't really help me find people or things like yours does. It just tell me more about a living thing. So yours is way more useful!

Careful what you wish for!

For me, it was super sensitive, like having a bell go off in your head every time someone took a footstep near me.

It was nice having a hot shower and actually feeling it though

@Rean, how often is it that ppl get to talk about your powers 1st hand! It was nice being super heat resistant for a day right?

Well, I'm glad I can at least be useful to you guys in some way! Since I'm clearly not bringing any of the magic to the party...

@Al: For sure! Especially in that heatwave.

You can't even feel hot showers, though? That's kind of a shame.

Oh c'mon, you're useful in plenty of ways. You got me beat on any physical fronts.

[Except maybe like hey fit in this tiny crawl space made for scrawny macaroni. Then it's Elliot's time to shine]

Yeah, no hot showers doesn't sound great. I wish there was a way around it.

@ Rean magic isn't the only way to be helpful, sometimes just a cool head will do or sheer like shoving M and M's up a T-rex's nose hoping it will do something.

@Elliot Yeah, feeling heat is a problem unless I'm on fire, or had one of your soups as I found out last month...I guess you don't get to feeling fire is a nice warm blanket without some nerves getting dulled or something. Which question, how long can they stay good for? I got sucked in a door while at the zoo and found myself in Magnus again, I'm thinking of carrying some with me like I carry the pepsi blue

OK, is no one else going to be deeply worried that the man just said he sets himself on fire? No? Just me?

So you saw "shove M and M's up a T-rex's nose" and that wasn't worth a mention!?

and I never said I set myself on fire, I said "unless I'm on fire"

It's part of my power set, you could set me on fire while I'm asleep and I won't notice.

@Al: ...I think I'll go for the cool head. I get myself in enough trouble without candy assault on a wild dinosaur.

@Crow: He does have fire magic, and I saw him basically absorbing some of the firewall back in January. He's actually one of the last people I'd worry about being on fire.

Mostly because there are plenty of other things to worry about instead

@Al: It lasts as long as soup regularly lasts? So a day if you leave it out, but longer if you refrigerate or freeze it.

@Crow: Yeah I guess I'm just used to odd powers?

@Al I'll worry when a T-Rex shows up But okay, fire powers. That makes sense. I'm jealous of you in the summer, though Imagine not feeling humidity

@ Rean Shapeshifter technically, still horrifying as hell to see it roaring at you and sniffing you. Can't watch Jurrasic park the same way ever again.

@Crow, Juusst remember they can see you just fine if you stay still, M and M's buy you time and make them sneeze. Also, yeah! Summer would be awesome! Perfect season for me!

I remembered a power not too long ago, but no idea if I got it, something about bringing hellfire that shall judge the earth, I'd like to see life find a way the NEXT T-Rex that tries to eat me!

@Elliot Oh, I thought they might last longer cause, magic...Oh well, I guess the cooler in my bag will just have extra Pepsi blue, which, thanks for telling me about those, it saved a life in January.
