[Hello fellow Draubworld residents! Have the face of an eager looking blonde teenager on your lockets. She's hanging out in her rooms, sitting on top of the chest at the foot of her bed in fact. Behind her are several dresses tossed on the bed pretty haphazard. She's opted for men's wear, though it looks a little big from her- nothing is exposed, though!]

So three questions- or, wait... technically four, depending on how you answer the third.

First question: Is anyone here interested in some dresses? [She glances back over her shoulder and only now, belatedly reaches back with her free hand and straightens one of them out across the cover, then turns back again.] This is what they brought when I asked about clothes, but I'm not really big on dresses. It seems dumb to just let them collect dust and go to waste and I figure someone here who can actually appreciate them is bound to be my size.

[Yeaaaap. So there's that. She holds up two fingers, wiggling them playfully.]

Second question! Does anyone here know where I can find a good tailor? Or, I don't know, if anyone watching this knows how to do it I'd be glad to pay for some comfortable clothes that fit.

[At which point she smirks, and there's definitely a glint of challenge in her eyes this time when she holds up three fingers.]

Third question. So the faeries bring all sorts of people here, right? I'm looking for people to train with. I know how to use weapons like lassos, swords, and spears, but what I'd really like is to find someone else who knows how to fight hand to hand. If you're up for it just let me know. My name is Cassie, and you can find me at Caer Glaem. Later!

[And then she waves at the locket with a grin and snaps it shut.]

[blundergirl]

They call me Wonder Girl back home. [She grins, pointing to herself- towards her chest where there would normally be a pair of golden stylized "W's"- except, oops, she forgot she's just wearing a regular tunic now. Oh well.]

I'm a demigoddess. Not old enough for a bike or car or anything yet, but I can get around by flying. I've got super strength, too, and I'm built pretty tough. I'm, uh, usually the one putting divots in the concrete with the bad guys.

[No specific weaknesses that she knows of yet, but she wouldn't broadcast those to someone she's just met. It's been drilled into her head not to show her entire hand, ever if she can avoid it.]

The thing on your belt, right? I'll make sure to avoid it while we fight then.

[ringbeast]

Woahhh... I met another goddess the other day, you know! Of course she was this huge white wolf, so... That's different I guess.

[He grins.]

Yeah, where I come from most young people don't drive. I like to bike, personally. Anyway I usually only get beat up by real strong guys!

[He makes knuckle-cracking movements, though if he is cracking knuckles, there's no way of telling through the suit.]

Cool, I'll make sure not to go easy on you. Just let me know a good time and place. The driver's not super easy to break, and I did smash it once already, so don't worry too hard about it. I just think Chimaera wouldn't wanna come back, since it's so nice for him here. It took me a while to catch him last time anyway.

[blundergirl]

You mean they actually talked one of the gods into coming here? [But a huge white wolf... that doesn't sound like a god she's familiar with on the Greek side.]

Great! [Can't help a little laugh at the knuckle cracking. Without being able to see his lips moving with his words all of this just feels that much more over the top, the gestures and all, but in a fun way. They've been brought here to help with a war, might as well enjoy the light hearted moments while they last, right?]

I've got someone taking me up on my offer right now, but maybe tomorrow or in a couple of days? [And in the meantime, Cassie tilts her head in a little bit of confusion-] Whose Chimaera, though?

[ringbeast]

[He nods.]

She's pretty obviously real Japanese, though. She's got pretty facepaints on, she looks like a woodblock print. I'm an archaeologist so I picked up on it.

[As much fun as transforming whenever he wanted to could be, he was getting kind of stuffy in there. He dismisses his transformation with a flick of his hand and he's back to wearing his regular street clothes.]

I'm ready! And oh, uh. In my world you only get to be a wizard by teaming up with a magical beast that lends you its power. It's called a Phantom. Um, usually they just live inside you and are released when you fall to despair, but I got a deal with one. He just lives inside me, sealed by the belt, and that's where my power comes from.

[At this point, with Chimaera sated by the ambient magic in the world, he doesn't really have to worry about not eating enough Phantoms to replenish his mana and being eaten... Not like he liked talking about that in the first place. He did mention that nothing good comes from him running out of mana. He's pretty sure that Chimaera wouldn't let him off if he ran out here. He'd still be bound by the terms of the contract. Still, a little bit of reiteration can't hurt.]

He's kinda touchy. It'll be bad for me if I run outta mana, cos he doesn't like that. And if he gets out, there's a chance he could... cause some damage, or run off somewhere I can't find him real easy. He's kinda... whimsical in that way. Last time I had to release him, it was with a real good reason, but I don't think he'll take it well if I do it again.

[blundergirl]

Oh, cool! Maybe I'll run into her while I'm here.

[Live inside you, though? She tries to think if anything she's heard of is similar to that and... well, not really, but-]

So, kind of like a spirit animal?

[ringbeast]

I hope so, she's really cool.

[The question kind of takes him off guard. Not necessarily in a good way.]

Ah, uh... Not exactly? I mean, some people kinda share traits with their phantoms, but usually it's a little more uh... adversarial than that. Cos when you fall to despair, the phantom can kill you and take over your body, if you can't overcome it. And uh... It can still happen, even if you do overcome them and become a wizard, if you despair again. Basically, becoming a wizard is not really very good odds where I come from.

[He looks kind of uncomfortable with having had to explain the whole situation again... Usually explaining this shit is Shunpei's job.]
