Study group (Lucy)

[Anastasia]

Canderella's found with Ebony at Cresea's eatery, the two sharing a small cake and quietly chatting with one another. You approach them and...

Go ahead and set yourselves up.

[Corwin]

"Hello there!" Lucy greets the pair, taking the lead this time. "I'm Lucy-- I'm new here, obviously. And I simply must have a taste as well! How much?"

[Nephrite]

"Canderella, Ebony." Moore greets them once Lucy's said her hellos.

"This is an old friend of mine, Lucy. She is a succubus and has an interest in the study of magic and wanted to meet all of our prominent magic-users." Moore says, as if to make sure he's stating everything up front. "Lucy, Canderella here is a daughter of Talos -- not literally, just... to be clear on that -- and I would say she specializes in lightning, among other things." A glance over at Canderella to confirm that. "Lucy, this is Ebony, a... you know, maybe you'd better tell the story yourself. Anyway, she uses spells similar to myself with some added oomph."

[Corwin]

'We don't need to lead with my race while meeting new people,' Lucy thinks to Moore, plastering a smile upon her face. "Ladies, a pleasure!"

[Anastasia]

Ebony merely smiles over a cup of tea, "Greetings."

Canderella raises an eyebrow and smiles, "A pleasure," she gestures, "Have a seat and help yourselves."

[Corwin]

Lucy's hair pulls her seat out for her and then she takes it, leaving Moore to claim the last one around the table. "Is it made of air?" she asks, eyeing the cake with excitement. "I wouldn't want to assume, just from the establishment."

[Nephrite]

"Ah, I'm not much of a cake person, you go ahead." Moore gestures as he takes a seat.

[Anastasia]

"It's amazing is what it is," Canderella says, cutting you a slice. It looks to be vanilla and chocolate swirl. "Have some."

Ebony meanwhile watches and adds, "What sort of magery do you study? I am a sorcereress of some power, though focused on magic more than the mechanics."

[Corwin]

"Thank you, Miss Canderella!" Lucy says brightly, closing her eyes in anticipation as she takes a bite!

[Anastasia]

It tastes wonderful. Perfectly balanced flavors and sweetness, soft and ever so crumbly on the tongue. It's like dozens of little morsels of pleasure run along your mouth and throat.

[Corwin]

Lucy hums happily, cupping her cheek. "Two good cakes in one day. What bliss!"

She hasn't forgotten the question she was asked, however, and after swallowing Lucy responds. "I am a wizard, Miss Ebony, though I have several focuses. I study the way magic can be shaped and reshaped, be it through metamagical applications or via crossing the arcane-divine divide, not to mention exploring the intriguing possibilities for cooperative magics."

[Anastasia]

"I am familiar with some of that," Ebony remarks as Canderella sits back and watches, a tiny little smile on her face. "My bardic magic flirts with such measures, as does my arcane sorcery. Additionally, I have some knowledge of spellpools, as an ally has one for her use."

[Corwin]

"Oh, really? Do tell, Miss Ebony! I'm not even sure where my is located, so perhaps they are even one and the same!"

[Anastasia]

"The Cauldron, it is Seira's," Ebony replies, "I do not use it myself, as I lack the proper training. I am instead studying the magic of the celestial choirs."

[Corwin]

"Hmm." Lucy takes another delightful bite of cake, before asking Moore, "Have you been to it? Does it seem like my sort of place?"

Giving Moore a chance to think of an answer, she tells Ebony, "This must mean you're in the habit of casting traditionally divine spells as arcane. I've been wondering about how to replicate that trick, myself. So far, my answer has been to write them down in a spellbook, but the spells still feel subtly different upon casting. Although, Miss Ebony, I am happy to report that they've grown stronger with use! Perhaps magic is, in a sense, much like a muscle one has to work out with properly?"
