Just a thought, considering our recent guests - what's your opinion on vampires and werewolves? Do you have them where you come from or are they just in stories? Monsters? Misunderstood? Just another type of creature?

Everyone talks about actively getting a job.
In Solvunn we get paid for helping out, but we also get given a lot of things for free.
They have this weird notion of us being connected to their old gods.

We don't use the c-word, but it definitely feels like that.

[wolfssegen]

It almost sounds like Solvunn might have been a better bet for me, if it's like my farm and everyone gets paid to work it. Sounds a bit like home.

Except I'm an atheist.

[carmesi]

I don't think many of us here believe in any of this religious stuff they have going for them.
Besides, sometimes I wish we had a little bit more to do.
Thorne ought to be more exciting on the daily.

[wolfssegen]

Truth be told, religion always freaked me out a little bit, so maybe it's for the best.

And compared to home, there's not a lot to do in Thorne either. Some decent pubs but I'm used to TV and video games.

[thearchangel]

Like a kind of halfway house?

[carmesi]

Too many exorcism movies?

I thought Thorne had a huge library with books on magic, or something.
An alternative for TV and video games?

[wolfssegen]

Religious parents.

Reading? Really? UGH.

Haha, just joking. I really should try to learn some magic.

[wolfssegen]

You could call it that and you wouldn't be wrong.

[carmesi]

I suppose that would do it.

And you almost got me there for a second.
If you need any pointers, let me know.

[carmesi]

About magic.
Not about reading.

[wolfssegen]

It really would.

You know, I bet you're one of the best out there, when it comes to magic. Have you been learning any from this place?

[thearchangel]

That's a good cause, from what I've seen. Know a lot of those places whose old inhabitants came back to defend them when they had to.

[carmesi]

I've just had a bit more practice before this place.
And not particularly. It's hard to learn something new when I can mostly just do it myself.

[wolfssegen]

And that's exactly what makes me think you're probably one of the best. Practice makes perfect and all.

I could never do magic back home. I know a couple people who could though. I always thought it was cool.

[wolfssegen]

Yeah. I know a lot of the people who've moved on would come back if they had to, to defend us.

[stations]

Any ideas what they're trading?

[wolfssegen]

[Sure he did. Nothing to do with being a werewolf at all.]

Not sure. I'd have to do a little digging for that, and I'm not sure whether I can be bothered.

[thearchangel]

Means you're doing a good job, I'd say.

So... what do you go by? Probably should make introductions.

[wolfssegen]

I figure I'm doing well enough.

Chester Fields. But just Ches is fine.

[unnecessaryflourishes]

The energy that exists within all living things.

[wolfssegen]

A pretty good analogue for blood, right there.

[thearchangel]

Garrus Vakarian.

Appreciate the information. Those things really don't exist for my people.

[earthborn]

That would be me.

Commander Shepard.

[wolfssegen]

Nice to meet you. D'you go by Garrus or is the whole thing your preferred name?

No problem. They're interesting legends.

[wolfssegen]

Pleasure to officially meet you, Commander Shepard. I'm Ches Fields.
