Alright. I'm apparently in some parallel world to mine where people like me are rare and not the norm. But you all dress the same and speak the same way? And it seems you don't form adventuring parties in your school systems which, while frustrating, it might be nice to learn something aside from spells and putting my life in danger for a school project.

I am also apparently to live with a Mr. and Mrs. Hargreeves? I promise, I won't be much trouble at all. I honestly can take care of myself, really.

Anyway. Hi. I'm Adaine Abernant. I'm 15. I'm an elf, an oracle, and a spellcaster. I don't know if that means anything to anyone here but there it is?

The adventuring party thing might depend on how you view cliques and friend groups. Or if you join the D&D club.

Anyway, hi! I'm also a Hargreeves, but not the one you're staying with. Luther and Sloane, right? One is my brother, the other is my sister-in-law/physics teacher who was also a Hargreeves before she married Luther, but they weren't related. I'm Ben. Human, 16, not magical, but I have powers. Welcome! 🙂

	I suppose my party might seem like a bit of a clique, but my whole school forms them so I'm. Or sure where the difference would lie. It is really nice to meet you, Ben. I suppose I'll see you when you come round to see your brother if I don't run into you at school. What sort of powers do you have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I just read your reply to Cassie (who is super great and our age, just like Lila—who is also super great), and it sounds like your clique would work perfectly in a D&D game. I thought about joining the club at school, but I had too much homework. And now I'm going to have more!

The shortest answer is that I have a dimensional opening where my stomach and some of the attached bits should be. Sometimes things come out of it. So that's fun.

	Oh! I joined the AV Club but that was mostly just because it definitely needed some new members. I might look at new activities here. Wow. Is it painful? It sounds...terrifying, actually. Not the oddest thing I've ever heard of, but I can't imagine it's comfortable for you when it happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	quiethorror 2023-01-10 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Is that what you're into? Audio-Visual stuff? It can be, yeah. I don't like having to use it, but I haven't had to very often since coming here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-19 01:03 pm UTC (link)
	I enjoy it, but I mostly did it to make my school's club more inclusive and appropriate for women. That's such a horrible power to put on someone, especially a child. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Smash the glass ceiling!! I was born this way, so I didn't have much say. I wish I had more say when it came to actually using it, though. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You do know you’re not applying for a job, right? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-05 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	You do know you're rather rude and unkind to a new arrival, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yourplanssuck 2023-01-05 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	It was a question, but sure. I’m just trying to tell you you don’t need to tell everyone your life story if you don’t want to. That had they told me to talk about myself on the first day of school vibes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It was a rude question as it's rather obvious I'm not applying for a job.

I never said anyone told me to talk about myself. I was making introductions so I don't have to do so individually with all of you. I'd read through several of the messages already and it seems others do this. It's apparently either that or freak out about our current circumstances. I chose option A.

	Do you feel better now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At this point I really hope you do. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hello, Adaine. I’m Luther. I don’t really know what an oracle is, but I hope I can help make your stay easier. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-05 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	My strength is divination. I occasionally get glimpses of the future. Officially I'm the Elvish Oracle for the Kingdom of Fallinel. Unofficially, Fallinel can ~~fuck off~~ butt out of my life. Are there any house rules I should be aware of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yahtzeefan 2023-01-16 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds like a pretty cool ability. We;ve never had a kid before, so I'm not sure. I think maybe the three of us can figure it out as we go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-19 01:03 pm UTC (link)
	It can be, but only if I can figure out what it means in time to help. That's fair. I've ever really had parents before so I think we're even. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	yahtzeefan 2023-01-21 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Sounds like we'll all have something to get used to. Is there anything you need to help you get settled? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi, Adaine. I’m Hope. What kind of spells do you cast? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-05 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, that's a lovely name! All sorts, really. Detect Magic is one of my better ones. I also like using the Identify spell, even if the voice it uses is terribly annoying sometimes. I am getting good at transfiguration, as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	atruetribrid 2023-01-16 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. I really like yours, too. Sounds like your magic probably works a little different compared to mine, but it could be fun to compare notes. I have a pretty extensive grimoire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-19 01:05 pm UTC (link)
	A grimoire is a collection of spells? We just call ours a spellbook, I think I like having a nice name for it instead. Do you write your own spells at all? I've been working on that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	atruetribrid 2023-01-21 03:14 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's right. I've written some, but there are a lot that have been passed down through my family, too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What's an adventuring party? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-05 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, you know, a group of people who get together and use their individual strengths in order to go missions or find things or just explore. I found mine in detention on the first day of school last year. I'm their wizard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suspect a lot of universes have similar clothing styles. At least the basics. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-06 02:58 am UTC (link)
	I imagine as much, though in Fallinel the High Elves and Wood Elves both dress very differently and different from each other. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	that_is_bs 2023-01-07 03:23 am UTC (link)
	Wow. That sounds like something from my brother's games. I'm Nancy, by the way. Welcome to San Francisco. Is it the same year where you come from, too? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-09 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	I'm beginning to think that's not too far from the truth. Thank you, Nancy, it's good to meet you. No, I believe our time works differently. We don't tell time with this BC and AD as there was no Christ to be before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	that_is_bs 2023-01-10 02:44 am UTC (link)
	Huh. Weird. Do you have cars where you're from? Radios? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-10 03:22 am UTC (link)
	We do have cars. Radios, too. It's pretty rate for Solis but Elmville has always been a bit outside the norm. We also have these mobile phone devices, but they're called crystals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	that_is_bs 2023-01-11 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Do they use magic? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-12 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Some of us do! It mostly depends on your class. Barbarians and fighters don't and rangers usually don't but I'm a wizard and my friend Kristen is a cleric and we both do. My friend Fig is a bard so she can sometimes do it but usually her bass guitar is her power. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now you're really starting to sound like you came straight from my brother's games. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	loyal_sidekick 2023-01-07 03:24 am UTC (link)
	You're an elf? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-09 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	I am, yes. My father was the Elmville ambassador to Fallinel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loyal_sidekick 2023-01-10 02:44 am UTC (link)
	You don't look like any elf I've ever met, is all. And can't say I've ever heard of those places. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-10 03:23 am UTC (link)
	I imagine you haven't, I haven't found them on any of your maps. That's alright, I'm used to being a bit different and I like it. What are elves like where you're from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loyal_sidekick 2023-01-11 02:34 am UTC (link)
	A lot of places I knew back home aren't on these maps, either. [...] Shorter. Larger ears. And eyes. And...feet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-01-12 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Oh! That sounds considerably more like our goblins. My friend Riz is one, they're small and green. Some of the older bullies on the blood bloodrush team used him as their ball once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loyal_sidekick 2023-01-29 03:28 pm UTC (link)
	I mean, they're sort of like goblins, I guess. But not? And goblins aren't green- are they where you're from? What is bloodrush? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anxietyelf 2023-02-02 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, why? What do your goblins look like? On looking into it, I suppose it's a bit similar to the football played here. Our coach is my friend's father and he offered to let us all on the team but it's certainly not my forte. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loyal_sidekick 2023-02-03 02:03 pm UTC (link)
	Big noses, big ears, usually with kind of a grimace on their face. They're short and gray-skinned, too. Not the most pleasant creatures. Aw, so like Quidditch but without brooms? (Reply to this) (Parent)
