[It's very early in the morning, but Jagger sounds wide awake.]

Did anybody else feel that?

[It's a brief question, his tone urgent. He's also not offering any details, because he's wondering how many know what he's talking about.]

Comments

[skyward_eyes]

[Yeah, Nida had felt something on those lines only once before. But even that didn’t have a specific FEEL so much as it just happened.]

I don’t know. But the only way something could feel like things for me would be if it is some sort of magical pulse.

[asthecroweflies]

See, and I don't know anything about magic, so there's...something psychic involved, too.

[skyward_eyes]

[That's... probably bad. Really bad.]

Don't suppose you're up for a random quest.

[asthecroweflies]

Did you really just call it a quest?

[He breathed a sigh.]

Aren't there...monsters out there?

[skyward_eyes]

I definitely said those words.

[But the monsters comment makes him laugh.]

I'mnot seeing your point.

[asthecroweflies]

Do people still call things like those quests?

[It was more to himself than anything.]

Aren't monsters dangerous?

[skyward_eyes]

My former boyfriend called them that. But he was sorta nerdy.

[And now Nida was just laughing. Of course they were dangerous. That was half the fun.]

Good thing you have a trained, magic-laced, monster hunter here, isn't it?

[asthecroweflies]

So am I, and I only use those terms for video games.

[Though this place sort of...fits the bill.]

Are you going on a monster hunt?

[skyward_eyes]

Video games aren’t really something I’m too familiar with. But I’m tempted. My head is throbbing.

[asthecroweflies]

That doesn't sound like the best time to go hunting monsters.

[skyward_eyes]

Of course it is a good time to go. It gets out the frustration.

[asthecroweflies]

You might have some anger issues, mate.

[skyward_eyes]

Only some?

[asthecroweflies]

[That gets a laugh from him.]

At least you own it.

[skyward_eyes]

So much easier to own them. They’re cathartic.

[asthecroweflies]

But not enough to deal with the issues, yeah?

[skyward_eyes]

What issues? No issues. Only punching.

[asthecroweflies]

[He chuckles and the comment is light.]

You need therapy, mate, maybe some breathing exercises.

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah I lost access to my therapist two worlds ago.

[asthecroweflies]

Maybe you should shop around. [It's spoken light-heartedly, though.]

[skyward_eyes]

Maybe I should. Or maybe I should punch things.

[asthecroweflies]

As long as they're things that need punching, that's probably not a problem.

[skyward_eyes]

I would never strike something that didn't need it.

[asthecroweflies]

Then I guess it comes down to who gets to choose who needs it, yeah?

[skyward_eyes]

I’m sure my boss will tell me. In the mean time, there is always more kobolds.
