El #1
Hi. I'm El. I'm not really good at this stuff, on account of growing up in a commune without phones or social media or even running water half the time and then spending the last four years in the void where's there's not much chance of mobile coverage, but whatever, I'll give it a try.

So from what I've been able to work out, there are occasionally monsters and things here, but there are also plenty of ~~wizards~~ people with magic who don't live in constant fear of being eaten by things? As in, it's not a constant threat?

Also I'd like to do some research into how alternate dimensions work, if anyone has any tips, or like, preferably a Dewey Decimal reference or whatever you use here.

	Oh, I'm a sack of pus, sorry. ~~Why wouldn't you go by~~ How old are you? That does sound like it would take a while to get used to. Where I come from almost everything is on a bartering system. Yeah, that's us. Me and Chloe. Chloe's a lot nicer than me, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's okay. I am not sensitive about it. I turned 15 two months ago though. I lived in Skyhold when I first came here. There were a lot more people but now it is just Cullen and the cats. It is... very big. And very cool. What is a 'bartering system'? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That sounds extremely rough. You can call me Galadriel, if its less confusing. My mum's the only one who does, usually. ~~And certain irritating boys~~

It doesn't seem that big to me, but then the school we were in until we got here was big enough for a few thousand kids. Definitely bigger than mum's yurt, though. Chloe loves the cats. Most of the animals steer clear of me except for the hellhound who seems to think I'm his new mum. ~~Can't believe I just said hellhound unironically~~

Bartering means like, one thing for another thing. Money isn't worth anything in the Scholomance, so it's like, I'll save a seat at a good cafeteria table if you get me a tray, or, I'll let you use my scissors if you give me a good translation of a spell I want. No one does anything for anyone for free, unless you're dating or in an alliance.

	Wait, is your name actually Galadrial? As in "All shall love me and despair"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elhiggins 2022-09-12 05:24 am UTC (link)
	~~I'll kill you~~ Yes, but if you use that phrase again I might use my special spell that makes your bits shrivel up into an acorn sized ball of agony (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~So, you're pretty heavy on the despair side of that equation, huh?~~ Noted. Please don't. I like my bits how they are. It's a super cool name though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't right now anyway, so. You win. It is not, it is a terrible name that no sane person would give a child. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If Galadriel fills you with ball-shriveling fury, I think I can handle El. So what you're saying is that I should probably rethink naming my firstborn Gimli, Son of Eddie? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elhiggins 2022-09-12 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	Good. I mean you do you, but don't blame your kid for cutting off all contact with you the second they get the chance. I didn't even go to normal school, but I can't imagine a name like that leads to the right kind of popularity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm looking to be an amazing enough dad that I can name my kid Goober and they'll still want to hang out with me. Seriously though, I was thinking of naming my future daughter Éowyn. You think she'd be pissed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elhiggins 2022-09-15 04:06 am UTC (link)
	Well, I know I would be, but people are different. If she turns out to be a nerd, maybe she'll love it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	innocentexile 2022-09-15 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, yeah, any kid of mine had better be a nerd. I think that'll be a prerequisite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elhiggins 2022-09-15 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	Not all kids turn out exactly like their parents. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	innocentexile 2022-09-15 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	And thank god for that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	themage 2022-09-12 03:39 pm UTC (link)
	I do not mind calling you El. I think it's fun? And if you prefer to be called El then I should call you that. ~~What is a yurt~~ Scholomance is your school? Was it like a boarding school? I hear people living at their schools all the time and I hate it a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elhiggins 2022-09-12 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Great. I'll be El II, since you were here first. Yes, it's a boarding school. Actually there's only one day a year where people can get in or out, so day school is not an option. ~~What do you mean you hear~~ Do you go to school? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	themage 2022-09-13 12:02 am UTC (link)
	You were probably born first though. I do. I am going to a local high school with most of my best friends ~~even though school is sometimes -~~. School here is... very different from what it is like back home but at least everyone is accepting of powers? Which is important. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elhiggins 2022-09-13 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Depends, when were you born? Well that sounds... nice and normal. What sort of powers do you have? (Reply to this) (Parent)
