We can't tell you any more. The timeline's becoming unstable because of all we've told you already. I'm not sure you should think about our future-speak anymore or discuss it with us. Let's just react to things as they happen from now on, okay?

Ask her what stuff she has available, now that you've got some spending money.

"Well what do you have?"

>"I have uhm... Healing potions. And other things. Like for strength and speed. They're really good I think.."

"How much?"

>"It's G10 for a weak one and G20 for a stronger one.. The stronger one can last all day if you uh take it at noon.."

"I think I'll take a Greater Speed Potion."

Saisai hands her G20 leaving her with G155.

This might come in handy later.

"Hey do you have a dislike potion? Like to get rid of annoying people."

>"Uhm.. Sorry. I don't have anything like that in stock. I do have poison if you really want to get rid of someone.."

...
That
Huh

"N-no.. That's fine. What other kind of potions do you have?"

>"Well.. Mostly buff potions.. If you want something special I can usually craft it if you give me the money and time.."

>>427298
Haha, sure why not. She looks kinda anxious and shy.

"You know I'm kinda new to the city in general. Maybe you can show me around a bit?"

>"Oh no I.. I'm sure someone can do better then me.. I don't go out much either. I pretty much live in this shop." She gives a nervous laugh.

"You should smile more often. You look better smiling."

Morgan fidgets nervously.

>"Uhm thank you.. Is there anything else you want...?"

Aw, now she's even more withdrawn. Girl probably never really talks to someone beyond selling potions.

"So is there any other item you need? I'll probably be going around doing missions so I can see if I can grab anything for you."

>"I... I could always use any gems.. Sapphires, rubies, even quartz.. And any parts of magical creatures are useful as well, if you happen to get any of them.. I'll pay you for them or give you a discount on potions."

"I'll keep that in mind next time I go out. How do you usually get your stuff?"

>"My father... He runs a shop across the street... The I Shop.."

"What does he sell there?"

>"Everything. Everything but potions that is." Another nervous laugh

okay say bye and let's see what the i-shop carries.

Oh the I Shop sounds promising, lets head over there. As for Morgan... it's difficult. She could use a friend and it's not like you're a social person either. But forcing her out of the shell would be hard. We'll work on it I guess, not like you won't see her fairly often.

>>427307
"Ok, you need to get out of the shop more often and I need more friends. I'm taking you for lunch this weekend. I'll pick you up Saturday at noon, alright?"

I think you should ask your captain for some more information about Daniel. Like, how strong is he?

>>427311
The answer will be "Everything." The I-shop is for when we have something specific in mind, or at least a specific category of items.

"I'll go check it out. Really though the two of us should hang out. Next time I'm free I'll come by."

>"Okay.. Thank you... For the ingredients.."

"No problem."

Saisai waves goodbye and heads to the shop across the street labeled the I Shop.
She enters and is greeted by a hooded man.

>"Welcome friend. What can I get you?"

"Uhm.. What do you have?"

His smiles broadens and he gestures around his shop

>"Everything."

He suddenly gives off a loud hoarse laugh.

>"Except potions that is. My daughter across the street sells that. Is there anything in particular you're looking for?"

Whoops I meant ask your captain about the Captain General. Not Daniel. Heh.

>>427319
Ask about beginner's magic. We need to get you some utility spells, I think, and have Artemis help you learn how to use them.

>>427319
"A book on learning soul magic."

This is something you NEED to learn. It has the fringe benefit of letting you cut things in half with your mind. You will learn it easily, in spite of your tigerfolk heritage.

>>427323
Dark Elves don't sell books on that. We have to learn it directly from a Dark Elf teacher, remember?

Doesn't hurt to ask though, he did say he sold everything.

>>427333
he has everything remember? if he doesn't have it he will get it.

Ask if there is some illusion making item that can alter the appearance of your hair and ears to imitate various looks and races. For missions. Really.

And what the heck is an illness tablet? A way to fake being sick or a what?

>>427319
Gosh.. what about getting something that would make you.. pure human? No more disguises.

>>427319
Ask if info on his daughter is in stock~
You're a knight, so it's only proper to ask the father.

"Actually I'd like to know a bit more about your daughter. I'd just come out of her shop and she seems a bit... Jittery."

>"Hehehehehehe. Yes. She is a shy girl. Very kind but she just hasn't been around many people. It'd pay to make friends with her. Maybe I'd even give you a discount here.."

"No need to bribe me, I'd already made plans to try and get her to go around the city with me. I'm rather new to the place myself."

>"Good good. Now, I'm sure information on my daughter isn't all you came here for. Would you like a weapon? Armor? Perhaps a spell book or two?"

A spellbook..?

>>427323
>>427320
"Do you have books on Soul Magic or normal utility Magic?"

>"I most certainly do. I can give you one of each for a total of G15."

"I'll take it."

She hands him G15 leaving her with G140.

"Also I need new armor. My old armor was destroyed in my last mission."

The man smiles and examines Saisai.

>"I have just the set for you miss.. Please, come to the changing room."

He leads Saisai to the back of the shop and after looking around a bit hands her some armor and fabric.

>"Put on the black bits first then place on the actual armor."

Saisai tries on the new armor in the privacy of her changing room.

Hmm.. I like it.
And if the metal bits break off again I have a nice black under-suit.

Saisai realizes she's been going around the kingdom half naked.


....

"So, how much is the armor?"

>"G100."

Ouch.. A bit pricey but.. This just looks so... 'Knightish'. I have to get it.

She pays the G100

Anything else I should get or am I done here?

>>428522
Not likely in your price range now or soon but ask about items with illusion or alteration magic to make you look different enough to pass as a different race. Besides being able to hide your ears without a hat, it can provide cover if you are seen without it and it may be handy for missions. Maybe you can work a deal out with him for it. Alteration would change your body and you may not like that, but illusions may not hold up when you need it to or some might see through it.

...You know what? Ask if he has anything that could have special use alongside a guardian items power. Can't hurt.

>"Do you have books on Soul Magic or normal utility Magic?"

>"I most certainly do. I can give you one of each for a total of G15."

>"I'll take it."


...Which one?

>>428522
"Now that I've paid, can I see how I look in an ordinary mirror?"

>>428531
both, one of EACH for 15 TOTAL.
anyway, think that's good for now save it up.

>>428533
What the hell are you talking abou-
>Mirror of enhanced beauty

...Ah. Nice catch. I don't think that affects us though. I mean technically we aren't looking through it at all and she looks fine. But sure ask about it, it gives a natural segue into my question about illusions if nothing else.

And see about getting a light helmet under the hood, and if the feather can be incorporated somewhere more secure than just being tucked into your belt.

>>428522
I'd definitely look into some kind of persistent illusion or minor shapeshift charm/item to hide your nonhuman physical characteristics.

>>428522
How is that hood going to stay up to hide your ears? Seems like a good wind would blow it away.

>>428575

You'd think if something like that were cheaply and readily available, her rich-ass image conscious family would have gotten her one years ago.

>>428581
>cheap
HAHAHAHAHA

>>428592
Yea, there's a very good reason she had her tail removed. Because the other options are either not possible, or stupidly expensive.

>>428619
Doesn't mean it shouldn't be looked into, anyway. Also it seems like it's mostly her step-dad that's like that.

"Can I get a different mirror please? I just want to see something."

>"?? Certainly."

He brings her a different mirror.

.... Looks the same to me.

"Ok. Do you have some kind of charm or something that can cast a minor illusion spell on me?"

>"I have two different kinds. One allows you to use your own mana to keep an illusion spell going while the other brings a constant illusion. The first one only costs G20 while the second costs G1,000. A device that constantly brings about an illusion and runs on it's own continuous fuel is hard to come by."

"I'll take the first one."

She pays G20 for a small necklace with a sphere on one end. Saisai now has G20.

All right.. Kinda low on money now. Again. Anything else I should buy or am I done here?

And if I'm done here is there anything else I should take care of?

I think your done, 20 gold is enough for a nice evening walking around. Of course you'll be broke afterwords so its good that you have a free place to sleep.

Yeah I think we're good for now. Head back to the castle.

Saisai is now broke.
==============================================

That was good..

It's still pretty early though.
I could just turn in early if there's nothing else to do. It's been a pretty hectic day already.

read those books you got. going to sleep thinking about them should help you learn.

Maybe you should test or practice your new illusion magic before bed? If it's going to be useful, you have to be able to get it up fast, and with little warning.

NOW, STUDY.

>>428820
Practice using your new item to hide your ears, since you want to be able to do it in your sleep. Literally.

Read the book on Soul Magic before you go to bed. The other one can wait until later.

Saisai tries to use the Illusion charm but fails.

The man said it uses my own mana right? I never really learned how to channel that stuff...

Maybe if I read the Book of Magic.

=============================================

I don't get any of this...
It just looks like Aquian to me.

be serious about this! try the other one.

...you may need an introductory course to magic theory. Or a lesson in training mana.

In the meantime, maybe we can use guardian points in place of mana to run the illusion charm?

..........

I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS!!!

[change form] maybe this will help.

Hmm... well you'll need to figure it out at least a little. But if you can't read it then it can't be helped for now. You may need tutoring from someone, probably one of your teammates. If you feel up to it you can go see Artemis for a bit later and have him talk you through the basics. For soul magic you may need to seek out someone at the library. Alternatively, Morgan might be useful with both.

But for now, knock on your mimics box and touch us to him, we'll transfer some of our spare power to him.
[transfer 40 GP to Yuyu]

And some for you, too.
[transfer 40 GP to Ombra]

Obviously it makes sense to you. Got some advice here? Would it help if we changed her form too? Would she have more aptitude for soul magic like that, or your direct influence could push her along?
