[ The vine brings a simple message to the ladygardens today. There is one bushy-browed blond young lady seated outside, where she is attending to the laundry drying on the lines behind her, ] Good afternoon, everyone!

I have a small request of you, if someone could please help me out. It might seem odd, but I have given this a lot of thought, and...

[ Mugi closes her eyes, taking a deep breath as if to prepare for something serious. And her expression is quite serious when she opens those blue eyes again and leans in closer to the mirror. ] Is there anyone who could teach me magic?


((OOC: Action is open to anyone at Larry Vincent's house, whether they live there or just see her outside hanging the laundry and scribbling in a notebook with... a quill.))

I would love to hear whatever you have to say! [ She smiles. ] My name is Tsumugi Kotobuki. But I really wouldn't want to call myself a "witch", or even a "magical girl", since that might upset some others. [ A thoughtful hum. ] Perhaps just on the level of "magician" would be fine, but I don't want to get ahead of myself.

The term on my word would be Wizard, or the more archaic Magic User.

What sort of place is it, where you are from?

suddenly, prose out of nowhere!

[pervy_elf_fancier]

"I am from a kingdom named Aerisland, and of late have been living at the Marque of Wulfhammer. 'Tis a beautiful land, rolling temperate hills covered with forests; but the savants of Aerisland know full well that temperate hills also breed the fiercest and most powerful monsters that one could be so unfortunate as to randomly encounter."

The Duchess Elstwhere sighs, her eyes slightly downcast, as she recalls the place. Not out of any hatred of the Marque and it's Marquis: much the opposite, rather.

"The Marquis Wulfhammer, my fiance Embric , would of course have it no other way. He is an adventuring Fighter, you see, and his Fellowship number the Rogue from Cathay, Louni Quickfingers; a number of Good Dwarves; and the Elven Wizardress, Falwythwr Windgrace. And myself, at least as an honorary member."

It sounds like a lovely and exciting place. [ Mugi nods. ] Like something out of a novel, actually!

[pervy_elf_fancier]

"Exciting? Certainly. The word I would use is 'dangerous.' It is not a life I would wish on the unprepared."

[golden_gaytime]

Things might not be too different for you, here, though there is less danger to be seen in my experience. [ Welcome to Mugi's dream, lady. ]

[pervy_elf_fancier]

"I will not try to dissuade you, but I refuse to teach you unless I also impress upon you the great risks of thaumaturgic practice. Any less would be irresponsible of me."

[golden_gaytime]

[ A headtilt. ] What sort of risks would those be?

latetag to the rescue.

"It is demanding on the body and the mind, enough so that strong wizards and sorcerers tend to be frail - so much of their vitality is bound into the act of casting spells that they tend to be physically weaker. Clerics do not suffer as badly, being channels for greater powers - but then, in those cases, they are channeling greater powers, often demanding and jealous ones."

The Duchess pauses, for effect, putting a finger on her chin. "Not to mention the attention of those who wish to use magic. Nobility are not, as a general rule, allowed to be wizards in my world; the mix of temporal power and mystical power is thought to be too much of a temptation." As proven by my Uncle is unspoken.
