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.

Oh, probably Mario Kart. That's cool.

It's just that bards aren't a thing anymore where I'm from. They stopped being a thing, like, hundreds of years ago probably.

[funbreaker]

Yes, that's the one. If you're familiar, I am certain you could recreate it in your own domain as well.

It's hard to imagine bards falling out of fashion to that degree. Did people simply tire of them?

Better options came around, I guess. Nobody wants to sit around listening to someone sing about some old battle or whatever for hours, when you could watch a movie about it instead or go to a concert.

big rip

[funbreaker]

I suspect that bards could put on concerts and sing about things other than old battles, but yes, I see your point.

In any case, I suspect that learning to control and wield your newfound power may take up a good chunk of your time now.

[ordinar]

Yeah, that should keep me busy. I hope it's more like working out than studying. That wouldn't be so bad.

If you're focusing on offensive magicks, I imagine it will be a mix of both.

[ordinar]

As long as I don't have to stare at pages full of weird symbols again.

[funbreaker]

No, I don't find such work particularly riveting either. I suspect Stephen will spare you that, if he can.

[ordinar]

I hope so. He seems kind of strict.

[funbreaker]

In that context, mayhap, but don't let him intimidate you. He's quite easy to tease.
