Reaching out

[ She looked almost shy as she flipped on her mirror for the fist time but soon brightened as the magical device worked as it was meant to. ]

Hello. This is my first time using one of these magic mirrors, can you really hear me?

It's nice being able to communicate with others even if you are far away from them.

[ It was less lonely. ]

Magic here seems... different. A few weeks ago I spent much of my time living inside a giant bowl of ice cream. Do things like that happen often?

I couldn't even get out of bed for mine. Haven't learned to fly yet.

It can, from time to time. I'm not really sure why it does, but it always widespread, for the most part.

At least you were in a safe place when it happened and you didn't fall over the side. It would have been a long drop to the floor.

I was only wondering... That shrinking episode wasn't someone's powers out of control?

[connie_maheswaran]

Oh yeah, definitely wouldn't have been able to survive that.

No, not that I was aware of, it was just something that happened. It's strange too, because usually the only ones of us that experience a radical change like that are the ones who have the monster class during the full moon.

[ The term monster stung even if it wasn't being applied to her. ]

I feel bad for them. It can be very difficult when your magic can't be controlled.

[connie_maheswaran]

I never really understood why its only them though. They seem to have a stronger affinity to magic, but it's not any less out of control than our own when we first start out.

[let_the_storm_rage_on]

That seems to be the way it is all over. Some people have a stronger pull with magic... Is there no way to help them too? Does the training not help?

[connie_maheswaran]

Of course it does! But really, missions tend to be the best way to really test out your magic and abilities, and it helps to have a team with you mixed with newbies and those who have gotten pretty good with their abilities. That way you can compensate where one might be weak.

[let_the_storm_rage_on]

Everyone working together does sound nice. That didn't actually happen during that shrinking episode but I might have been difficult to find inside that giant ice cream.

[connie_maheswaran]

Or wherever else we were trapped.

But you'll have the chance for a real mission soon I bet. I'm trying to actually coordinate one with a few friends of mine.
