Lately, things have been kind of scary. And I know I put Caretaker through a lot with us all getting so hurt by that Mimic. I was thinking... if I'd had more powers... maybe we could have all come back home alive, at least.
...
I don't want to be caught off guard like that again, and things... are getting more complicated now, with Nyssa and the shadows. So I'm not sure I can really afford to waste any time at this point.
Then first you must prove your body is strong enough to accept this burden! Your first two tasks will be to defeat someone in a fistfight and to run a lap around this realm, from cabin to cabin.
Then you'll have to train your mind! Creativity is important. If you can't express yourself artfully, then there's no point. You'll have to create something that belongs to you and you only -- a song, an outfit, a technique, a weapon...anything you can think of. Then, you must successfully defeat someone in a challenge of wits. Or, another fight if you want. Fights are basically challenges of wit.
Finally, you have to strengthen your soul. Confront your greatest fear. Or your second greatest fear.
And for now, you can tell me of a heroic dream you've had. Do all this, and I will consider granting you these powers.
[ however, when she gets to the part about fear-- oh wait she's already sailing right past that ]
Err, w-wait a minute! My greatest or second greatest fear?
Delriza... you know... some really awful things have happened, right?
[ like nearly becoming a demon, or watching people be torn apart right in front of her by the mimic, or eating someone--worrying people she loves will be pressed to death-- ]
... Will it make the magic weaker if it's the first or third?
[ how will she even KNOW what her first or third greatest fear is? it feels like a hard thing to quantify... even if she wouldn't consider herself afraid of most things

Sabre! Hello! What brings you here?

Re: Day 214, post meeting
You seem very happy today, Delriza! Did something good happen?
[ like maybe a magical picinic date??? ]
I was hoping you could give me a quest for some magic....
Re: Day 214, post meeting
Ah -- is it strange for me to be in a good mood? Perhaps I am just happy you visited.
...Mm, if you want to learn magic, it will not be particularly easy.
Re: Day 214, post meeting
Most things worth knowing how to do aren't easy, right? I'm okay with that.

Uhm... yeah, I know. But... it makes more sense to try to do it all at once, right?

Re: Day 214, post meeting
Hm. It will not be just a simple quest. Such powers only come with intense training.
[ not all of us are as lucky as ed ]
Re: Day 214, post meeting
That's okay. I know that if you give it to me too cheaply, it'll hurt you. So... I'll work really hard to earn all of them, I promise!

Ah...not particularly. I just thought greatest fear sounded cooler.

... Alright, then. I accept. My first, or second, or third... if you can help me find a way to actually face it somehow, I will.
