[ if someone told clarice she'd be reaching out to the rest of her cohort almost the instant she finds her footing on the station, she'd have laughed in their face. frankly, she would have preferred to keep her head down, stay out of the way until she was needed.

but some things were necessary, and dealing with a whole set of people whose backgrounds and experiences she had no clue about necessitated some information-gathering.

reaching out anonymously seemed like a good compromise. ]

[ she's here for one reason, and one reason only. making a list of those she had to steer clear from is only going to help her achieve her goal in the long run. ]

what does that word mean to you?

no? where are you from?
what would they call someone who was... different?

[calmness]

not when talking about people.

what sort of different?

[fuchsiative]

someone who looks different
can do different things
things you wouldn't consider normal, or even possible

[calmness]

there are creatures in my world one would consider mythical in others and what you could call magic is practiced.

we call someone who is able to use magic a cultivator.

[fuchsiative]

a cultivator?
what do you cultivate?

[calmness]

qi, spiritual energy.

we train, grow and strengthen a golden core that allows us to access our abilities.

[fuchsiative]

can anyone be a cultivator?
what kind of abilities do you get?

[calmness]

no, not everyone.

even those born with a golden core cannot make use of it and those who develop one past their twentieth year are rare.

that depends on what you wish to learn.
spells to heal, to fight.
