... That something from your home? Atera?

[ ash just flips the pair of jeans in his hands around a couple of times. ] Somone here probably does. I've just gotta figure out who.

[infire]

Oh - yes. The Yaksha are a clan of sura, with traits similar to animals like cats or wolves. The fighter's guild has a lot of Yaksha halves.

[ she's not a scholar specializing in sura biology though so, like, whatever. she'll leave ash to struggle with his pants so she can look through the racks of clothes herself. ]

I can do medical sutures, but sewing clothes is a bit different... You could possibly ask Plum, too. She was making a hat in the last trial, wasn't she?

[voidbreaker]

[ ... awkward. He's pretty sure Brilith has made her dislike of the sura clear. ]

I think we dump enough on Monobun's shoulders during the week already. I'll figure something out.

[infire]

[ i really considered having brilith offer since statistically one of millions of lives had to know how to sew but it's funnier if she doesn't. hashtag rich girl life. ]

Suit yourself. But tearing holes in your clothes isn't likely to help you much.

...Also, I asked the girls about my knife. The only thing special about it is that it is, apparently, very old. Other than being unable to clean it, it's just a regular knife. But I received something else after they saved Lio that will be much more valuable.

[ it's fine, jingles is taking one for the team. ]

I'll figure something out. Probably.

[ oh? ] ... Something else? What?

[infire]

Master Blue granted me one of my spells from home. There's only one use, so I'll have to save it for when I need it most.

[ there's a red dress that's caught her eye, but she grimaces and sets it right back on the rack. ]

It's a restoration spell, meant to restore the target to its optimal state. On living creatures, it will heal all wounds.

[voidbreaker]

[ ... no red for bril.

ash gives her a level look for a moment. ]

... And what's the cost of casting it, Bril?

[infire]

[ she hates red okay. ]

There is no cost. [ she smiles. ] It's a standard spell that only uses a small amount of vigor, of which I have plenty. There will be no problem with using it, when the time comes.

[voidbreaker]

[ doubt. ]

... Alright. So it could heal someone injured during an execution? Or... heck, if we got to someone quick enough in the morning, if their death was late?

[infire]

It will not cure someone when they're dead, Ash. It will only work on someone who is still alive.

[voidbreaker]

No, I mean-- we always wake up to someone dead, but we don't know when they died. What if we wake up and someone's dying but not dead?

[infire]

As I said, if they are still alive, then the spell will cure them completely - even if they are in the process of dying. That hasn't happened yet, though. Are you so sure it will at all?

[voidbreaker]

Dunno. But if it is, we'd better consider it in case we have to hustle, and do it quickly.

[infire]

If there is no other way, then I will use it. You can trust me on that. I won't leave someone else to die if there's something I can do.

[voidbreaker]

Alright. Other than that... well. It's your discretion when it gets used, yeah? Don't hold back, thinking that we might get to use it later. We'll deal with stuff as it happens, if that's the case.

We need all the people alive we can get.

[infire]

If it's an injury that someone can live with, I will keep it to myself. I would rather keep the spell for when it's needed most. It would be useful if I'm the next one targeted, as well, but we'll see how things go.

[voidbreaker]

[ ... ]

Alright.

If it turns out that the "small amount of vigour" turns out to be all you have left, you're gonna be in so much trouble though.

[infire]

[ oh, he's worried about her. that's kind of funny, actually. ]

There's no need to worry about that. Using vigor won't affect my lifespan unless I run out. One recovery spell won't use everything I have.

[voidbreaker]

[ >:T jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ]

Alright.

... You just asked for a spell though, and they gave it to you?

[infire]

[ hmmm? ]

No, I doubt they'd be that generous with us. It was a reward for voting correctly.

[voidbreaker]

[ RAY!! RAY YOU DID IT!! what was the right answer ]

Ahh, yeah they do that don't they. That's how I got my poleaxe.

[infire]

[ :) ]

Yes, it's how I got the Staff of Agni back, too. I wasn't expecting to regain one of my spells, though, even for a single use. It makes me wonder if something's changed somehow.

[voidbreaker]

... You think we might be having an affect on this place? It's Blue that gives them out, so if he's gone from being able to bring us physical objects to giving us spells and stuff, maybe that says something about their power now?

[infire]

Yes, I think we are. As things change every week and we learn more, and react differently, there's no reason to believe that Master Blue isn't changing with us. The notes Phoenix found proved that Master Blue has been at this for a long time, and the fact that we've been here so long is already abnormal, apparently. It's possible that it's given them a way to work around their usual limits.

But if that's true, then we should assume the same of the house itself, of course - so it will be looking for more ways to bring us down while Master Blue tries to help us find a way out.

[voidbreaker]

Huh. How long are people usually here for, before committing mass murder on everyone?

... Yeah, it's a bit of a double edged sword. If Blue's stronger, the house is gonna be too. The sooner we can split 'em the better.
