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!

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?

[fiddlestick]

Knives?
Well...maybe she trained in more than one weapon.
People in the military do that all the time.

[maidhem]

Maybe? But I'm pretty sure that she wasn't a soldier and that she'd be upset if someone said that.

[fiddlestick]

It was just an example...

[maidhem]

I know. I'm just really confused by all this.
I didn't mean to upset you.

[fiddlestick]

Oh. Don't worry. I'm not upset.
I know it's all really confusing.

[maidhem]

It really is! I don't even know how to begin making sense of it!

[fiddlestick]

Well...do you know anyone from your memories in the city?

[maidhem]

I haven't found anyone yet. Is that normal?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I think so. I only found one recently...

I was just asking since maybe they'd know more about it, but I guess not.

[maidhem]

I'm not giving up on finding one. Maybe we just haven't crossed paths yet!

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, that's the spirit! I hope you find some.

Until then, maybe you can practice with other healers? Not sure how though...

[maidhem]

Maybe wait for someone to get hurt? If this even is a healing staff...

[fiddlestick]

Only one way to find out...

I could go with you if someone gets hurt. I know I can heal, so if it doesn't work, I'll heal them instead.

[maidhem]

I'll feel a little like an ambulance chaser, though-- and I don't think that's how this was supposed to work.

[fiddlestick]

Well it wouldn't be right to injure people so you can heal them...
How do you think it was supposed to work?

[maidhem]

DEFINITLY not like a staff you use for fighting.

[Says the girl who has trained in martial arts for a good few years.]

I think I need to go somewhere with it and try a few things...

[fiddlestick]

Okay...
Good luck?

[maidhem]

Did you want to come with? It might be fun.

[fiddlestick]

Uh, sure?
What are you planning to try though?

[maidhem]

Just waving it around to see what happens.
