Dunno if this is all that helpful but I've got some time on my hands and since I've taken to these shellphone things pretty easy I thought I'd do the right thing and offer!

If any of you need help with how to work your way around em I don't mind lending a hand!

Uhhh, I might take some magic-y lessons in return if anyone wants to offer some of that too.

Oh and one more thing! It's the water kind, if that makes a difference.

I would happily take you up on both learning about the the shellphones and teaching magic. It seems like a fair trade, in any case. Have you ever used magic before?

[inventuring]

[ Oh voice is fine then. ]

Yeah! I thought so. Weren't looking to make an unfair trade, you know? But nope never had the capability before. Not everyone where I'm from's able to do it.

[ There's a pause as she considers wether to say anything else. ]

Got plenty of people from home who can do it but not anythin' to do with water at all. Not sure if that makes a difference, really. What about you? Not used to tech or what?

[priste]

[ it's faster see he's here because he doesn't know how to use the phones as well gotta be on brand...]

It's interesting how the tattoos seem to let anyone access magic, even if they couldn't before.

I've never taught formally but I have...quite a bit of experience with magic.

[ a bit of an understatement, when you're the strongest magic user from your home ]

[inventuring]

Kinda handy, inna way innit?

Don't worry about being a good teacher or no, I'm a good student so you could be real bad at teachin' and it wouldn't even matter. Betcha I catch on real quick! Just didn't wanna try the whole thing without some kinda guidance you know?

[ She laughs a little, and then exhales a little hum, like she's thinking. ]

You didn't answer my question though. Not used to tech or what? Can't be phobic or you wouldn't be lookin' for lessons.

[priste]

That makes sense to me.

As for me...my home world has an abundance of magic. No one has ever needed to create things like this before. But the things people make without magic really fascinate me.

[goodberries]

[ cause he doesn't know how to text ]

I would not mind some lessons. These shellphones are fascinating, but I know nothing of them.

[ water's not really his type of magic either, but he wasn't Archdruid for nothing. ]

I'm happy to pass along some knowledge of Nature's magicks as well.

[inventuring]

[ valid, honestly. ]

They're pretty easy once you get the hang of them! Don't worry, I'll get you sorted out. Not sure I'll be any good at whatever nature magic is, but I'll give it a shot! Learning's the easy part!

[goodberries]

If they're so easy, that does make me feel a bit foolish. [ he chuckles it off though. ]

Is water not a part of nature? That is all I meant. I am a druid. We train in all elements of nature.

[emet_sulk]

What do you mean by 'it's the water kind'?

[inventuring]

U know, the element! I've tried a bit and it's all watery!
Best I can guess that's the type I've got.
Came with the tattoo thing, too.

[emet_sulk]

[ Thinking...thinking... ]

Oh. You're referring to elemental magic?

id: ramuhs

[ramuhs]

You know you have six experts right here.

[inventuring]

Well yeah. But I was thinking an outside perspective might be good to have, yeah?

Besides maybe not everyone's got adverse affects when it comes to actually using the magic.

[ramuhs]

Fair enough. But if you still have trouble I can at least give you a few pointers.

[Let Dad help!!]

[inventuring]

I dont mind you helping, dad.

But what about the curse?
Not interested in contributing.

[ramuhs]

Not much of a problem for me here it seems. Doesn't mean I won't be careful, but with or without, I can still spare a bit of my knack to help you.

[inventuring]

Yeah?
What about everyone else?

Thought about wheedling info from Jill too but I guess I were over thinking it.

Lighting and water don't play nice but I wonder what kinda stuff we could pull off together.

[ramuhs]

You'd still want to check with them, but Jill would be a good match with her ice. At the very least she might be able to give you some ideas or expectations.

Besides I'm a bit curious myself, especially with water's conductive properties.

[inventuring]

You dint think she'd
mind none do you? Im gettin loads of offers, so with you and Jill I think I'm set!

But, mmhm! Steam's always a good way to power things inna pinch.

[ramuhs]

Now who else is offering?

[NOT HIM BEING CONCERNED OR ANYTHING.......]

[inventuring]

Not got names yet, we're still talking. I'm good at judging character though, you don't have to be all weird!

Can't you see who answers anyways?

[ramuhs]

It's not weird to ask. Especially when I am trying to be polite and not snoop into my daughter's business.

[Bald faced lie, he's already looked and will keep looking.]

[inventuring]

Never made me feel smothered or nothing before. So you're doing a good job.

I'll keep you in the know though ok? Only fair.

[ramuhs]

Appreciated. And you know where to find me when you're ready for your first lesson.

[Like. Right next door.]

[vermilloci]

No need for a lesson in comms, but I can help you out with magic, if you'd like. I've been studying it basically all my life, and would be happy to share some of my notes, even if the magic in this world is different.

[tilfrosset]

I may need you to lend two hands because it seems once I learn how to do something on these devices, there are five new lessons to learn, all in increasing difficulty.

As for magic, that I can help with, though I am much better at freezing the water than conjuring it.

(￢з￢)

What does this mean?

[Rem was sending weird symbols to him during a formerly serious conversation and he did not know how to respond to these almost faces.]

perma private

[inventuring]

Uhhh what's the context? Looks like it's kind of sulky or annoyed to me. The lips are all pouty and the eyes are looking to the side, yeah? Makes sense to me.

[ ancient grandpa. ]

Re: perma private

[yuezun]

This venerable one was being accused of not desiring to dirty his hands.

[Completely baseless accusation. But he supposed it could mean annoyed if Rem truly thought him so unwilling to take action.]

(｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
and
(｡•̀ᴗ-)

were also used.

[They didn't seem to evoke a feeling of annoyance however. But he wasn't sure what feeling it was, either. Feelings were already difficult enough to understand.]

Is there anything more to them than sending letters instantly?

[ Dion's grasp of texting is...tenuous at best. Greagor help him if someone sends him an emoji. ]
