[she's been getting pretty good at this typing thing, hence why her post today is in text, rather than anything else. It's good practice! Also she can't stop grinning so it's probably for the best considering what she's asking for today]

I require volunteers for something of an experiment. I am looking for those able to cast magic, and those willing to have magic cast upon them. I suppose one could say this is in the name of science, yes? And should one volunteer, all I require is an afternoon of your time.

There is no risk of harm or damage, of course. Except perhaps to one's dignity.

I certainly hope so too. My magic comes from nature, so . . . I have magic to use, of course, but my primary source . . . [she makes a vague gesture]

Mm, oh, yes! Many elves are the same, and I am, too, as I was trained to be a Keeper. I do know other branches of magic, though, which I am thankful for, but I have yet to really put any of it to use here.

I suppose you will be my first!

[hyanaimne]

Ah . . .

If I may ask, though, what is a Keeper?

[yourdistraction]

A Keeper is the most honored elder and guide for a Dalish clan, she or he who carries it's protection and the knowledge of all our ancestors on their shoulder.

[she blinks, because she hadn't expected to meet anyone here with that kind of role. Her only response is a wide-eyed:]

Oh.

[yourdistraction]

I'm not a Keeper, but I was her First.

[hyanaimne]

Even so, that is rather impressive.

[yourdistraction]

Oh, thank you... It only meant lots and lots of studying. And lectures. And such things. My training is still incomplete.

[hyanaimne]

That sounds similar to my training to be a healer . . .

[yourdistraction]

I am not very good at that, outside of using herbs and potions.

video; private

[hyanaimne]

I am very, very terrible at potions.

video; private

[yourdistraction]

I would teach you! But the problem is the difference in Earth's fauna and flora. Without access to my own world, I can't yet reliably make extra potions or salves.

[hyanaimne]

Earth does seem to be lacking a few things like that . . .

[yourdistraction]

Well, hopefully we can fix that! At least while we're around... We might as well do some good.

video; private

[hyanaimne]

It would be nice if we could.

video; private

[yourdistraction]

Well then, might I ask where you wish to proceed with the experiments, and when?

video; private

[hyanaimne]

I do not have an exact date yet, but it will be soon, hopefully. Though I was thinking of using the VR room, since it is large enough for a small group of people tossing magic about.

[yourdistraction]

I haven't yet been there! What is it like?

video; private

[hyanaimne]

I wish I could tell you; I've yet to be there either. But I will be going to check it out when I've a chance.

video; private

[yourdistraction]

I must as well! I have been much too busy.

video; private

[hyanaimne]

Being busy is a nice distraction from the whole . . . being stuck on the moon problem we have.

video; private

[yourdistraction]

I suppose. It is such an odd place to be stuck!

video; private

[hyanaimne]

Mm, it is. I never thought it was even possible to travel here, and yet . . .

video; private

[yourdistraction]

It's less exciting after a few days when you realize you can't really walk about freely out there...

video; private

[hyanaimne]

Yes . . . that as well. Or when you cannot use most of your magic as you have nowhere to draw that magic from.
