well. it's certainly different. no one is going to believe me though, when i tell them.

at least the stars are closer.

[magic specialists + research]
speaking of, i wonder if anyone else has looked into the magic of time and spacial distortions? i suppose now i'm closer to it, it'll go easier. but in lieu of tomes, discussion may benefit that as well.

oh. hello.

[room cr114; christopher pike]
we're sharing quarters, i believe. hello. none of my companions ever made complaints, so i'm sure we'll get along.

	Wouldn't say I have one, really. But charms and defensive magic are what I'm best at. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	what kind? the shielding kind, or the armor kind? and what do you mean with charms? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Shields, hexes, jinxes. We don't have a spell for armor, though maybe we should try to come up with one. It'd be dead useful.

Charms -- they're spells that impact objects, people, or the atmosphere around you. So if you wanted to make it snow, or turn someone's hair purple. Lots of defensive spells are actually charms -- like the one you use to freeze someone in place. It's a charm, but effective in a fight.

i know of at least four, so i can help there. however to start it'll depend on what you're drawn to, ice or storm. i started with ice, but that was convenience, not necessity. the fourth one can be a bit draining but it's not insurmountable.

different names i suppose, as freezing people is easy enough. i've never turned anyone's hair purple though. now i wish i had. it would have been funny.

Hm. I don't know. That's never something I've thought about. Though ice seems the wrong answer somehow.

Certainly. I've met people who can do similar things but call it something else or use a different method to accomplish the same thing.

It was definitely one of the funnier experiences during a class. My friend Luna had neon green hair for the better part of the day.

	there are no wrong answers, really. i can show storm armor though, and we can work from there. if he'd had hair, i imagine valthek would have looked amusing with green hair. oh well. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	the burning hells are...something and i'd hardly recommend a visit on the best of days. however, it doesn't lie to you. you tend to know what you're getting into. so all in all 'better' may be a relative term. i still prefer it over, say, the high heavens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	that's what i thought too. then i visited the high heavens and realized all but two of the angels are arrogant, self-righteous assholes and while the high heavens are very pretty it was a bit tainted by being told one was a 'foul spawn that had no place among their hallowed halls' every five steps. even though i was helping them.

	Being among the stars is one of my favorite parts of being in space. [roommates] Hi there Li-Ming. I tend to keep things tidy, so I imagine we'll get along fine. I do like to cook and entertain a lot. I host weekly dinners for folks on the ship. If that's a problem, let me know, and I can see about finding another location. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	slay_the_demons 2023-08-01 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	i had never considered the possibility of being this close. so it's nice. [roommates] i think the worst you'll have is more books. apparently there's a veritable hoard here. there's no need for another location. i don't cook but i suppose i could offer hand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncagedcaptain 2023-08-02 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Just wait till we get close to a nebula. [roommates] I will never complain about more books. Just wanted to check. I know not everyone appreciates having people in their space. Or is super social. But help yourself to anything in the kitchen, I always make more than enough food. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

my people's knowledge of stars is very limited, so what is a nebula?

[rommmates]
wonderful.

you were here first, and given that you've established a weekly event, it would give you've also been here longer. i'd say that gives you more rights to do with the space as you like. if it bothers me i'll find something to do. this place seems big enough for it. no need to worry about me.

thank you.

Basically, a nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Others are regions where new stars are beginning to form - so sometimes we call them star nurseries. They usually have beautiful colors though.

[roommates]
I suppose so, I just like to be considerate of those around me.

What sorts of food do you like?

	that sounds interesting, and quite beautiful. i will hope to see one soon then. perhaps i will be able to study it. [roommates] the edible kind? i've never really been given the luxury of choice. as long as it isn't corrupted or tainted in some fashion i will eat anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	uncagedcaptain 2023-08-02 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	It really is. I expect you'll get a chance to see at least one while we're on the Poseidon. [roommates] Ah, gotcha. Well, I tend to make a variety of stuff, so feel free to let me know what you like and don't like. I won't be offended. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
