Magic? Don't you need to go to The School to learn that? I'm not sure it's something I can just pick up..

Su's stomach growls

>"Heh, you must be starving. Here."

the priestess presses some fresh clothing into her arms.

>"I'm going to lead you to the bathing area. I'll come back to pick you up in about half an hour for some breakfast okay?"

"Okay.."

The priestess takes her to the Bathing Room. Su can faintly see a giant waterfall. the priestess leaves Su alone. she strips down and walks to the waterfall. She puts her hand out to touch it

Woah.. It's warm..

what happened to me? I don't remember anything.

what was the last thing you do remember? will let us know how much we need to tell you.

>>229076
You have to remember some things; what's the last thing you remember?

Also? You don't need to go to school, you just need a competent teacher.

>>229077
I remember Gram picking me up and teleporting away

>>229085
Do you remember who Gram is, who you are?

>>229085
Ok, teleporting away from what?

okay then. you remember ost of what happened then. after that a preistess of the temple hit the collector with a powerful spell and blew him away, and then brought you in here. gram had to go somewhere else because a man and a woman can only sleep in the same room here if they are married.

>>229085
Yeah that happened twice. Before that, do you remember still being at Tikkas? Because a few things happened after that.

>>229086
Of course I do.

>>229139
That's the last bit I remember. We teleported from Tikka's

Someone else enters the bathing area.

Greet them, turn to them. Be prepared to run if it's someone who glows.

say hello to the new person. and yeah, it seems it messed with your memory since your last sleep cycle. gram fixed up everyone at Resad, only person left is your brother, gram said he will fix him anyway, because he wants to. then the collector attacked, and then you came here.

>>229388
Ok, what happened was Gram took you to Resad, then camped for the night. When he woke up he resurrected everybody who had been burned to ash, and was about to resurrect your brother - at his own insistence - when a man known as The Collector appeared and destroyed part of your brain.
Gram grabbed you and fled here, to Temple, where a Priestess easily trounced The Collector with light magic.

I was attacked....? Do I have a scar or anything? Is the Collector still out there?

su looks around a bit. The Items she had are still with her clothing nearby.

>>229389
She greets the person. She simply 'hmmphs' in reply. Su's about done bathing now but the priestess isn't back yet.

I wonder who dis is

don't worry, gram still had item 21 which healed you all the way.
introduce yourself and ask their name. got nothing else to do until the priestess comes back.

"Uhm.... My name is Su.. what's yours?"

"That's a nice name Max."

>"No, it's ugly. I don't like it."

>>229400
Max? Isn't that, uh... a boy's name? Eh, either way.

"I like it whether you do or not."

ask why she doesn't just change it. pretty sure there nothing that says you can't.

>>229400
"So, would you tell me a bit about yourself? I, for example, am almost completely blind.

Max is kinda a boys name, Maxine is a girls version. Offer to call her that, or maybe Emm. Just as your name for her.

"I like it."

>"Hmph."

"So... Are you a wizard? A priestess?"

>".... I'm a angel."

woah, totally didn't see that coming.



pun not intended.
should probably say that is cool but don't bow down in awe. probably enjoys being talked to like a normal person.

>>229409
WOAH WAIT.

Wouldn't angels ping as REALLY GODDAMN MAGICAL?

>>229409
"Ah, sorry, I'm more than a little blind so I couldn't tell.
You don't sound too happy; what's wrong?"

"Ah, sorry, I'm more than a little blind so I couldn't tell. You don't sound too happy; what's wrong?"

>"hmph.. You really wanna know?"

Su nods

>"There's a breed of monster out there known as the Soul Stealers that have been destroying many people's lives. I was sent to this land to investigate the matter. See, when souls are placed into this world we expect a equal amount back. But Dark Mana, which thankfully has been banned, and Soul Stealers have been upsetting that balance. I've been in this world for 12 years now and still no luck. I have no idea where they came from or how to even stop them. I'm supposed to head back soon and I have nothing to show for my time here."

Max sighs.

>".... I feel a little better."

oh, tell her that Cecil has been trying to figure out how to beat them too. after you are done here you are your friend, gram, were going to go to his house. and that she could come along.

>You and Cecil should compare notes, Max.

Also- wait, you don't have tha guantlet. Damn.

>>229417
"You mean the soulless? Well, we know they make more of themselves by stealing peoples souls, but don't know much beyond that.
There's this famous mage trip by the names of Cecil, Alexis, and Nari who know a lot about souls and things. We were planning on seeing them soon; would you like to come along?"

"Uhm... There's a wizard we know named Cecil... He studies them and we're planning on visiting him.. If you want you can join us."

>"Really!? that would be perfect!"

Max shines brightly

>"Thank you! when do you plan on leaving!?"

"Uhm... today maybe?"

>"Great! I'll meet you in front of the temple later!"

She gathers her things and leaves. A little while later the priestess comes in

>"Your companion is still asleep. Do you want me to wake him up?"

yeah sure.

>>229430
Yes, yes, let us get dressed first, unless you like wandering around naked, Su.

>>229433
No really...

Su grabs the Items and her clothing. She gets dressed and follows the priestess. After a few minutes of walking she sees Gram. He goes over to her and hugs her giving her a slight bruise on her arm

>"Su, you're okay!"

"Y-yes."

Hug him back! Tell him of our new companion.

glad we convinced tikka to come, she will help him learn how hard is too hard to hug and stuff.
anyway tell him who you met.

>>229435
@Gram: She doesn't remember anything from the point where you teleported to Resad with her. We filled her in on the really important things, though.
Also, there's an Angel who's going to be coming to Cecil's place with us. Unless I'm sorely mistaken Angels are almost living and breathing light magic made manifest, so The Collector is in for a wold of hurt if he shows up while she's around.
Oh, also, you should probably get more telestones now, since I don't know how she would react to the I Shop owner.

>>229435
@Su
Sorry we didn't explain again, but Gram here has been fixed! His feelings are back, they were shut off by his broken face before... this includes all the bad painful ones too, but he's trying to fix things. He's still an idiot though.

@Gram
Hug less tightly, you don't know your own strength.

Su begins to explain what happened and about the angel girl

>"I see. I'd rather not make any stops but I suppose there might be some Items where the Soul Stealers are. Okay. I'm ready to leave when you are. There's no I Shop around so the three of us would only have enough for 2 trips for the three of us. Well, ready to head off then. Where's the angel?"

she said she would be hanging out front.

>>229449

>>229448

Meh, we can have Tikka pick some up when she goes to pick up that artifact we commissioned for her on Cecil's tab.

I feel kinda bad for that mage trio; they're going to come home to all sorts of chaos. Of course, that doesn't stop me from tweaking things so my laughter will be even more riotous~

Yeah this is gonna be a pain in the ass for him. Ah well.

they both head of out the Temple. Gram sees the angel girl waiting outside

"Hey, you must be the angel."

>"... And you're Su's friend. My name is Max."

"Nice to meet you. So, ready?"

>"Yes."

All right. Introductions are over, everyone's set.. Is there anything else I need to get?

hmmmmm.... nope.

>>229462
Offer to shake hands with your gauntlet. It would be nice to chat with her.

>>229462
Yes, this.

Gram holds out his hand for Max to shake. she accepts his offer.
[You can now use the [Switch To] and @ command with Max!]

He hold onto Su and gives Max a teleport stone. They all teleport off.

>>229469
@Mu: 'Sup?

HOLD IT! we made mu call a truce until she get's fixed, by which time she should no longer want to kill you. and that dark elf there is teri, she could use some Item 21, she is missing an arm and her soul is falling apart.

>>229469
@Gram: Immediately use Item 21 on the elf girl, then apologize profusely to Mu.

@Mu: Remember the deal.

@Mu
If it any consolation to what is likely seething rage to you right now, Gram looks hilarious and you look cute even when mad.
