to: everyone

Hey everyone. I don't know if I'm supposed to introduce myself... I'm Wilhelm.

Ugh, that sounded so lame...

Fuck. How do you delete a message you're sending with your mind?

Okay, never mind. Anyway, I was wondering about a few things.

1. So...I sort of accidentally set my bed on fire. Like, with just my hands. If it wasn't already obvious, this is a new thing for me. Is this the Singularity's way of telling me to go burn something down? It's fine now, by the way. I put it out. I'm still freaking out though, so if anyone has tips on how to avoid accidentally committing arson...I'd appreciate it.

2. Everyone made a big deal about these arcana signs, but I don't really get the point of them. What do they actually mean? What are they for?

3. What does anyone do for fun around here?

Thanks.

Nice to know that I come highly recommended where magical training is concerned.

[He sees you there, Wanda. But anyway-]

Time and consistent practice. With enough of both, you'll gain some semblance of control. No more burning beds, like the song.

not here

[UGH!!!!!]

[ordinar]

So you've trained people in this kind of thing before?

If you'd be willing to help me, I'd be grateful, Mr. Strange. I really don't want to know how much trouble I'd get in for burning part of the castle down.

[sorser]

I have. It's a part of the job back home, training sorcerers-to-be.

It's Doctor, not "Mister". And no, I'm sure all of us who live in the castle would prefer not to deal with spontaneous arson. I have the time if you're willing to put in the effort.

[ordinar]

Sorry. Doctor.

[People in his little sliver of society tend to be touchy with their titles, so...it's ingrained in him.]

Sounds like a cool job.

Yes, I'll put in the effort. I'm more than willing.

[sorser]

There's a little more to it than that, but sometimes "cool" applies, too.

Do you have time in your schedule sometime today?

[ordinar]

I don't really have a schedule. So yes.

[sorser]

An hour from now, swing by the library. We'll go over the basics.

[ordinar]

Okay. I'll be there. Anything I should bring with me?

[sorser]

Just yourself and your newfound tendency to set things on fire. We'll figure out the rest from there.

[ordinar]

Great. See you soon then. Thanks again.
