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?

[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.

[maidhem]

Magic... singing.... BUT THAT'S EMBARRASSING!

What even would I sing????

[compendiem]

It's not embarrassing if you do it alone. Beatles seemed to work.

[maidhem]

I can try Hey Jude.... but wouldn't this work better with another person??? What if it's something weird???

[compendiem]

I don't mind listening, if you're alright with it.

[maidhem]

I'm really not that good of a singer, but if you insist...

Where do you want to meet?

[compendiem]

It's fine. University music practice room? Rooms are soundproof. Lots of people sing there.

[maidhem]

Oh! I haven't needed to go to the music section often, but that sounds like a great idea!

[compendiem]

Do you have time now? I can reserve 6A, in the corner.

[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?

[maidhem]

I've got time. Classes are done for the day...

What's your name? I'm a little nervous about singing in front of a total stranger.

[compendiem]

Arisato.

[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?

[maidhem]

Maybe? Other Felicia fights with knives, so why would she have a magic staff?
