One step forward and many to go

[Corwin]

'Sure thing! Give everyone my best!'

Deciding to try following the guidance that cannot be adequately put into words, she says, "Hey, Donald, how about you clear the next week? I think we could do with a bout of arcane training. I've been thinking it's time to fine-tune my heritage spells and release them to the faithful." She laughs, adding, "Can't be shown up by that plucky dragon kid!"

[Anastasia]

"Sure," Donald says agreeably, "As long as you clear it with Elle. I like not finding spell components in my dinner, thanks."

[Corwin]

"You clear it with her!" Seira orders, shaking her finger at Donald. "I'm not abducting you to some training dungeon twenty four seven, we'll just do intense brainstorming a few hours each day so you can't go off on a long trip across the planes."

[Anastasia]

"Geez! Fine," Donald says and from there..

Next move?

Also, query. Are you going to keep the proxy template on Donald?

[Corwin]

For now, it's not bothering anyone! Next move is seeing Kascha, but Amaryl and/or Emily are welcome there since we'll chat about cool things.

Also, I think Alicia has a great idea so I'll send my SeirAvatar to Lifasa to be chill and help out and fly the flag~ (offscreen, IC focus is on Kascha)

[Anastasia]

The three of you - yourself, Amaryl and Kascha gather in Kascha's rooms. Her main room is a cave like place, almost hoard like. It makes Seira's draconic senses tingle, claws twitching for gold. Deep chairs looking like clouds held in a silver dragon's claw are all about, Kascha taking one.

Amaryl takes another, "Emily just dropped in, she had some business to see to on the Inner Planes. She got a little cagey and wouldn't go into why. I wonder if she's met someone?"

[Corwin]

"You know, this independence thing I thought would be such a great idea? I was wrong! It's a terrible idea!"

[Anastasia]

Kascha laughs and adds, "Well, I could introduce her to Surraruthru. He should be able to manage a human form, they might hit it right off."

Amaryl sighs, "I know! What...what if she gets pregnant? She's much too young if she gets swept off her feet by someone. She should know how to be careful, but she's young and if she's in love, that's a recipe for disaster."

[Corwin]

"That's not a problem," Seira insists, shaking her head at Amaryl. "We're rich and powerful, so she'll be provided for everything. And if whoever Emily fell for is unworthy we'll get to show our scary side."

At Kascha's suggestion, she frowns. "No. No matchmaking. That's also a terrible idea. Besides! I met my princess while adventuring, so this is a family tradition!"

[Anastasia]

A light laugh, the room's mood improving. After that Kascha goes on, "Really though, I learned so much at Aurora. I really feel like I spread my wings there. Oh! Don't take that the wrong way, and I forgot refreshments," Kascha gets up and goes to a table, a bit of invoked magic summon tea and cakes. As she walks back over...

> roll 1d20+8
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{16}

She smoothly sits back down and goes on.

"Spread your wings," Amaryl asks, letting it serve as a question as she takes a little cake lightly glazed with honey.

[Corwin]

"I remember the way your first meeting with them went," Seira says with teasing grin, partaking in the cake as well. How could she say no to a cheesecake glazed with honey? "You needed to be shaken up, and it's been a very good experience for you." She pouts. "Even if we all missed you. You didn't visit nowhere near enough!"

[Anastasia]

"Except when I died again," Kascha makes a face. "Sorry, I was just so busy with everything. If it wasn't Afina, it was Jaela. If it wasn't Jaela, it was Ithea. If it wasn't Ithea, was Muirfinn. If it wasn't Muirfinn it was Surraruthru. If it wasn't Surraruthru, it was Tepen. If it wasn't Tepen....oh, you get the point," she huffs out.

[Corwin]

"I get being busy," Seira commiserates. "Even two bodies isn't enough. I've actually seriously considered making little Seira snowmen--" She pauses, blinking. "Snowgirls? That sounds risque, somehow. But! You get my point. Simulacrums could pick up the slack, and there will be a helpful demigoddess for every task!"

Her face falls, then, and she breathes a lick of fire at her teacup, reheating it to the temperature she likes. "That serious idea lasted until I realized the obvious. It would've been even dumber than living in a wooden hut."

[Corwin]

As she takes a sip of now-perfectly heated tea, an expression of Seira's will modifies the standard Sending spell with ensuring that the message will be delivered when it is convenient to the recipient, even if that results in a delay. Her message to Emily is simple, and consists of, 'Hi, darling. Which plane are you on? Any plans for this evening? I'd like to see you if you're free.'

[Anastasia]

"Oh, I know! I tried researching a clone duality spell, but I couldn't make it work. I think it can be done, but at a higher circle of magic than I can cast." Kascha sips her tea and smiles, "Tepen and I worked on that just before working on some of his own spells. How do you like Bibliotheca Arcana? You got the notes of it I sent over, didn't you?"
