I have spoken with several of you now but had not introduced myself here.

Lan Mandragoran. I am not used to settling in one place for any long amount of time, but the potential to stay here for months, if not years, so I believe settling might be inevitable. I am a Warder in our world, to Moiraine Sedai, who arrived shortly after I did; if I may be of use to your defense teams, I will put my skills to their use.

May I ask how many of you had to adjust to all of this technology? I still find the phone unwieldy and temperamental.

	We're always happy to have new defense team members. I'm can answer any questions you have about the teams. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You are the leader, yes? Do you have a preference for fighting styles? ~~Chan~~ Magic, swords, something more modern? Or is a mix welcome? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One of them. I'm Sara Lance. Takashi Shirogane is away at the moment. I have no preference. The teams are made up of a variety of people with different training and skills. Use what you are comfortable with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Smart. A combination of capable fighters with a multitude of skills can turn a battle against any army or horde of monsters. I've seen one Aes Sedai with only two Warders take out an entire army. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What are the roles of Warders and Aes Sedai? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mandragoran 2022-01-15 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Aes Sedai are the channelers of the One Power in my world, we Warders are bonded to an Aes Sedai that chooses us to be their protectors and companions. Aes Sedai are not always welcomed and are occasionally hunted given their power, so we use non-channeling techniques to help aid them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The One Power, is that like magic then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mandragoran 2022-01-15 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	It sounds similar, from what I have heard since my arrival. But there are more male magic users here than we are accustomed to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofdestiny 2022-01-15 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	That's not common in your world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mandragoran 2022-01-15 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	No. The One Power is known to corrupt men who touch the source and will turn them mad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~I love women~~ Luckily that doesn't seem to be an issue here. Everyone here is mostly sane. Usually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mandragoran 2022-01-15 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	I am glad to hear it while also remaining reserved. Curious, if a male channeler arrived here if it would have the same effect on them still. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're the leader...! Well, isn't that ideal; I couldn't have chosen a better person to embarrass myself in front of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofdestiny 2022-01-15 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	How are you feeling now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofravka 2022-01-15 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	Much better, thank you, now that I'm not lost in the enchanted woods like a child in one of those old stories. I was about to ask your discretion with regard to the particulars, but something tells me that your position requires a certain degree of intelligence briefing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofdestiny 2022-01-15 06:41 pm UTC (link)
	It does, yes. But if it helps the reports aren't public. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofravka 2022-01-15 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	And here I was ready to say "pretty please". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofdestiny 2022-01-15 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	Feel free, but unncessary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofravka 2022-01-15 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	I'll save it up for another occasion. Loses its potency if I overuse it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofdestiny 2022-01-15 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	Expecting to need to use it more in the future? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofravka 2022-01-15 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	For an entirely different reason. Don't worry; I'll surprise you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Say it anyway. I also suggest bribing her with coffee. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofravka 2022-01-15 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	Taking notes. How does she like it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stick with black, I don't know if I think you deserve to give her lattes yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofravka 2022-01-15 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I definitely don't. (Reply to this) (Parent)
