NOTES: Context.

The next time any of us— [ That isn't an all-inclusive us; he means, specifically, mages and rifters and maybe templars, but everyone can figure that out on their own. Or not. He doesn't care. ] —is in the position to make demands, I think we should make sure we have a say in which rifters go to which Circles. We could pick in turns. Like choosing teams.

[ That's all. ]

[ TRAP TRAP TRAP TRAP TRAP ]

How much?

[the_cleric]

Oh, I don't know, I am just a simple cleric, I don't know very much, especially about money. It is in a bag. A pretty big bag, I guess. It's somewhere around here, I am always putting it down and forgetting about it...

[exequy]

Have you considered putting it somewhere safe and leaving it there?

[the_cleric]

No, because, how would I spend it, if it was somewhere safe and I left it there?

[Like duh.]

I like spending it.

[exequy]

All at once.

[the_cleric]

Hmmm... Maybe. Waahh-- [which is an actual whine, quietly spoken] --I don't know how to spend that much money, man!

[Oh, wait. Important clarification--]

And I am not going to ask you, because you hate questions and are not cool! So you would not be able to help, even if you wanted to.

[exequy]

True.

[ He doesn't WANT to be cool so THERE. ]

Being robbed is not very cool, either.

[the_cleric]

[Sounds fake, everybody wants to be cool, but ok]

It can be. If you are cool about it. Li-ike, maybe someone is robbing you, because they think you are virtuous and innocent and helpless, and they are like, yarrr, I am going to take all of your money! and you start to get out your purse, like you are going to just hand it over, all meek, oh please sir, please, but thennnn, you are like, oh please sir, get ready to have your ASS kicked!

And then you kick it!

That would be cool.

[exequy]

[ ... She has a point. ]

I suppose.

[ He hates when people have points! ]

Does that happen to you often?

[the_cleric]

Mmmm.... Not really... Not anymore, especially. I am a Rifter and I am still cute, of course, but I am also like, seven feet tall and built like a brick shithouse now, so... I think thieves are freaked out, man.

I would make a bitching body-guard. Like, I would have before, I can do all kinds of stuff--

[o shit wait]

Hey, so, you're a mage. What can you do? No one has ever told me before, about the kind of stuff that mages can do.

[exequy]

That is a very broad question.

Were you not seven feet tall—before?

[ "Before." He still thinks all your prior lives are made up, sorry. ]

[the_cleric]

No, of course I wasn't. I was a tiefling, before. Pro-bably... um, maybe five-and-a-half feet tall? The last time I was measured was when I was still living in Nicodranas. I marked it on the doorframe of my bedroom so my mom could see how tall I was getting, when she came to visit me! And I don't think that tieflings get too much taller, you know? Maybe like, six feet... maybe a little taller... I don't actually know that many tieflings. Like I don't know how tall my friend Molly is, because I wasn't starting out every day being like, oh Molly, let me me-a-sure you, please, so I can tell some stranger guy how tall you are when I go to a new plane or world or whatever this skinkydoodle place is, really, oh, hold still, I have a ta-ape measure and I want to measure you, oooh--

[If it's all made up, Jester has a rich fantasy life. Which would actually not be that surprising, or inaccurate, even if it isn't all made up.]

And also, I had a tail before, and it was really really pretty, and man! It really fucks up your balance when you used to have a tail and now you do not, you know? So weird.

Okay okay okay, but why is the magic question broad? Is it because you can do that much stuff? Like so much?
