Hey guys! Has anyone tried the waffles at the waffle place by that mailbox we're being told to pick things up at now? The chocolate chip pecan waffle is FANTASTIC if you haven't! 10/10, will have again!

Oh, and speaking of the mailbox, what's with the weird hints that they're giving on the packages you pick up there? How's a fancy walking stick supposed to 'ease your pain' anyway? The waffles do just as good a job after a long day with the books!

It's really that good? I'll have to check it out if I get a chance to go out for breakfast sometime.

I can't help you on the letter thing, mine were pretty straightforward. 'Letter from Sakaguchi Ango' and 'Cat plushie' gave me a letter signed by someone named Sakaguchi Ango and a cat plushie respectively. Maybe you got a magical staff or something?

[maidhem]

Probably is. The note did say that a little magic would ease your pain...

But that REALLY makes no sense. From what I can tell, Other Felicia was good enough at fighting that she trained with a knight, but she didn't want to work with a ninja...
Why would someone who catches the eye of knights and ninjas use magic?

[thesettingsun]

Magic knights, maybe? Other Felicia, just as skilled with a sword as with a staff... That's pretty impressive.

[maidhem]

Knives. Other Felicia didn't wear armor, either--
so that's extra confusing.

Still, it's also cool. I wonder how I'm supposed to make it work?

[thesettingsun]

I'm going to guess you probably don't heal people by hitting them with it.

[compendiem]

Walking sticks do that: easy your pain when you have trouble walking. A stick that long fit in the mailbox?

[maidhem]

I don't really get how it works, but it was a package! I had to give a ticket, and I got this.

[compendiem]

Do you have leg pain?

[maidhem]

No.

It said something about magic, but that makes no sense. I don't GET it.

[compendiem]

I've seen magic happen. Try singing.

[fiddlestick]

A walking stick that eases your pain?
It might be a magic staff.

[maidhem]

But why would a person who works with knights and ninjas have a magic staff? That makes no sense.

[The more she remembered of her Other Self, the more ridiculous everything seemed.]

[fiddlestick]

Maybe it's to heal them?
I'd imagine knights and ninjas get hurt a lot.

[maidhem]

Oh man~

This is sounding less like a fantasy novel and more like a Monsters and Mazes kind of game.

[fiddlestick]

Aha, it does feel that way sometimes.

I have a magic staff too.
Maybe our skills are similar?

[lingeringwill]

have you figured out that the stick is magic yet

If not I'm here to tell you that its magic

[maidhem]

But how do I now it's magic if I'm getting a story that feels like a Monsters and Mazes kind of game?

[lingeringwill]

because most of the shit that everyone else gets is magic

It's like

Deduction, or whatever. I have a giant magical key, you have a giant magical stick. That's just how it works

[maidhem]

A giant, magical key must unlock a really big door.

A big magical stick, though... how do I figure out how it works?

[lingeringwill]

...huh. Maybe it does. I never really considered that.

Wave it around like a maniac until something happens or you remember how it works

I remembered how to sword fight by waving around a kendo stick for like two minutes so

[lastcomfort]

Waffles? I love waffles! I'll have to try it, thank you!

Hmm, how is it spoke to work? Your walking stick, I mean.

[maidhem]

You're welcome! Every waffle place deserves a visit!

I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but people think it might be magical... and the paper did say something about how a little magic will help ease your pain. I don't know how to begin figuring it out.

[lastcomfort]

A magic walking stick...I was wondering if maybe it walks for you, but if it's supposed to ease your pain, maybe when you hit something with it it gets healed instead of hurt?

[maidhem]

Really?

Maybe.... but it looks too pretty to just go and hit things with it.

[lastcomfort]

Maybe! I've never had a magic walking stick before, but that would be neat if that's what it could do, right?

Maybe you could hit something soft?
