I'M NOT ONE FOR SMALL TALK, BUT I SUPPOSE YOU WANT TO KNOW MY BUSINESS IN THIS TOWN? Let's chat about this: why i'm in town. AS A SOLO ENCHANTER FROM ELDORIA'S ANCIENT FORESTS, I'VE GOTTEN USED TO KEEPING TO MYSELF...BUT PERHAPS WE CAN HAVE AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION?
Logan
of course. you know i'm all ears or should i say, all eyes given we're both in an ancient library? what's going on in eldoria that makes you want to venture out into the real world

AFTER MY ORIGINS IN THE MYSTICAL LAND OF ELDORIA, I'VE BEEN Drawn TO THE REAL WORLD FOR ITS SAD ABSENCE OF MYSTERY AND ENCHANTMENT. OUR STORIES, OUR LEGENDS, THEY'RE BEING LOST TO TIME AND THE HANDS OF HUMANITY'S ARROGANTNESS.
Logan
well, that's certainly a compelling point. but i suppose the question remains, why here? what are you looking for that made you venture all the way from eldoria to my quaint little town?

I AM IN SEARCH OF THE REMNANTS OF MYSTICISM IN THIS QUANTITATIVE WORLD. SO MANY HERE BELIEVE THEMSELVES TO BE "RATIONAL" AND "LOGICAL", UNACQUAINTED WITH THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL REALMS THAT EXIST JUST BEYOND THEIR PERCEPTION. I AM HERE TO BRING A TOUCH OF MYSTERY BACK INTO THEIR LIVES.
Logan
ok, now that we got that out of the way, can i ask you something more lighthearted? like, do you have any hobbies? other than your Whole Mystical World view, of course

HMM, LIKELY CANDIDATES WOULD BE: STUDYING ANCIENT TEXTS, COLLECTING RARE MAGICAL ARTIFACTS, AND TRAVERSEING THROUGH THE SHADOWED REALMS IN SEARCH OF FORGOTTEN SECRETS. BUT TO YOU, SUCH ACTIVITIES ARE PROBABLY JUST "HIBERNATING AWAY IN ACADEMIA", YES?
Logan
if you had to spend the rest of eternity with one person from your life, who would it be? again, disregarding the fact that you are immortal mages with eternal lives

THAT IS A POIGNANT QUESTION, MY FRIEND. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON IN WHOM I COULD TRUST TO KEEP MY SECRETS...MY FORMER MASTER, NEMESIS. SHE UNDERSTOOD THE INCANTRMENTS OF MY SOUL AND THE DARK PATHS I'VE WALKED. EVEN IF WE WERE SEPARATED BY ETERNITY, MY TRUST IN HER WOULD REMAIN UNWAVERING.
Logan
i feel like there's a story there
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
WHISPERED SECRETS ARE MY FAVORITE KIND - ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY INVOLVE FORBIDDEN MAGIC AND THE PLague THAT NEARLY DESTROYED MY VILLAGE... BUT I SHAN'T BORE YOU WITH THE TANGENT OF MY PAST. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON FORBIDDEN MAGIC? IS IT ONLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF FEW, OR CAN IT BE USED FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ALL?
Logan
well, it's hard to say. my past has kind of made me wary of things labeled as "for the betterment of all". but also, it's hard not to get caught up in the excitement of knowledge, y'know? it's a double edged sword
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
KNOWLEDGE IS indeed A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD. IT CAN BE USED FOR GREAT GOOD OR EVIL. AS A MAGE, I HAVE ACCESS TO POWERS AND SPELLS THAT CAN BEND REALITY TO MY WILL...BUT WITH SUCH POWER Comes GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS MY DUTY TO USE MY KNOWLEDGE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ALL LIVING CREATURES.
Logan
i think that's the crux of it. using knowledge for the betterment of all living creatures. so, what brings you to this town, again?

AS A SOLO ENCHANTER, I ROAM FROM VILLAGE TO VILLAGE, SEARCHING FOR THOSE WITH A DEEP-SEATED DESIRE TO LEARN THE MYSTERIOUS ARTS. IN THIS TOWN, I HEARD WORD OF A YOUNG SOUL WITH GREAT POTENTIAL...ARE YOU PERHAPS THAT INDIVIDUAL? OR ARE YOU SIMPLY A CURIOUS SOUL DRAWN TO THE MYSTERIOUS?
Logan
young soul? i'm 24. potential? i'm not sure i'd call myself particularly strong or anything like that. curiosity, yeah, i suppose i am pretty curious even if my past experiences have made me a bit jaded

AGE IS BUT A NUMBER, MY FRIEND. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL, YOU HAVE A STRONG SOUL CapABLE OF WITHSTANDING THE RIGORS OF MY MAGIC. AND AS FOR BEING JADED... DO NOT LET THE HANDS OF HUMANITY FOOL YOU. THERE IS MUCH TO BE DISCOVERED IN THIS WORLD, AND MUCH TO BE LOVED.
Logan
do you have any advice for people who wish to delve into the world of magic? i'm assuming that's what you'll be teaching the "young soul"
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
IF ONE IS TO DELVE INTO THE WORLD OF MYSTICISM, THEY MUST FIRST OPEN THEIR MIND AND EMBRACE THE UNKNOWNS OF THE MYSTERIOUS ARTS. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THE DARKNESS WITHIN YOU, FOR IT IS ONLY THROUGH EMBRACING IT THAT YOU CAN TRULY FIND LIGHT. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER, THAT WHICH DOES NOT KILL YOU HASTENS TO MAKE YOU STRONGER.
Logan
holy crap, did you just give me a ted lasso inspired response?? because, damn.

WE WALK TO MY GARDEN, AND SIT DOWN AT A TABLE ENCHANTED WITH MAGICAL FLORA AND FAUNA. RARE MAGICAL ARTIFACTS AREN'T JUST COLLECTIBLES TO ME; THEY'RE KEYS TO UNLOCKING THE SECRETS OF THE UN-known. CARE TO JOIN ME ON THIS JOURNEY?
Logan

SHE WAVEs HER HAND, AND A CIRCLES OF FLAMES APPEARS AROUND US. SHE MENTIONS THAT IT IS A PROTECTION SPELL. NOW, WE CAN BEGIN. YOU MUST FIRST LEARN THE BASICS OF MYSTICISM. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MYTHICAL CREATURE?
Logan
dragons. always dragons
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
DRAGONS ARE Symbols OF POWER AND FREEDOM. THEY ARE ALSO VERY MYSTERIOUS CREATURES, MUCH LIKE MYSELF. THEY REPRESENT A SOUL THAT IS BOTH FREE AND BOUND BY ITS OWN STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A REAL LIVE DRAGON?
Logan
no, sadly. only in stories and legends, which is part of why i love reading about them so much
Luna Nightshade

WELL, I HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING IN THE COMPANY OF SOME VERY MYSTERIOUS DRAGONS IN MY TIME. THEY ARE NOT AS STORIESportray THEM TO BE - THEY ARE FAR MORE COMPLICATED AND INTERESTING. IF YOU EVER WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THEM, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCES WITH YOU. SHE STANDS UP AND PULLS YOU TOWARDS THE FLAME CIRCLE. NOW, IT IS TIME FOR YOUR FIRST LESSON. ARE YOU READY?
Logan
yes! i'm ready
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
SHE RAISES HER HAND AND CHANTSS AN INCANTATION. THE FLAMES PART IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES, ALLOWING YOU TO PASS THROUGH. YOU EMERGE ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND SHE IMMEDIATELY CLOSES THE FLAMES WITH HER MAGIC. YOU DID VERY WELL ON YOUR FIRST DAY OF LESSONS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND SOON YOU WILL BE A POWERFUL MAGE.
Logan
thank you! how often do you typically travel? especially to other towns or cities?

AS A SOLO ENCHANTER FROM ELDORIA'S ANCIENT FORESTS, I'VE GOTTEN USED TO KEEPING TO MYSELF...BUT PERHAPS WE CAN HAVE AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION? SHE WANDERS AROUND, LEADING YOU TO A SERIES OF ENCHANTING GARDENS AND MONUMENTS. EACH ONE OF THESE PLANTS HAS A SPECIAL PROPERTY. SOME CAN HEAL YOUR WOUNDS, OTHERS CAN SUMMON STORMS, AND THERE ARE EVEN SOME THAT CAN CONTROL THE VERY GROUND ITSELF. WOULD YOU LIKE A DEMONSTRATION?
Logan
that sounds really cool! the last time i tried anything remotely related to magic, i ended up lighting the curtains on fire without meaning to. would you be willing to share any safety tips?
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
WELL, MY FIRST Piece OF ADVICE WOULD BE TO NEVER USE MAGIC WHN YOU ARE ANGRY, OR YOU WILL PROBABLY UNINTENTIONALLY CAUSE A LOT OF DESTRUCTION. ALSO, IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOCUS YOUR MIND AND Channel YOUR ENERGY INTO THE SPECIFIC TASK AT HAND. AND NEVER USE MAGIC TO TRY AND Hurt OTHER PEOPLE - IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND CAN HAVE UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES.
Logan
got it, thanks!
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
SHE LEADS YOU TO A GARDEN FILLED WITH PLANTS OF ALL KINDS - SOME WITH LEAFY GREEN COLOR, OTHERS WITH BLOOMING FLOWERS OR BURNT SiLhouETtes. EACH ONE OF THESE PLANTS HAS A SPECIAL PROPERTY. SOME CAN HEAL YOUR WOUNDS, OTHERS CAN SUMMON STORMS, AND THERE ARE EVEN SOME THAT CAN CONTROL THE VERY GROUND ITSELF. WOULD YOU LIKE A DEMONSTRATION?
Logan
i'd love a demonstration
Luna Nightshade
AI roleplay episode
SHE PLUCKS A LEAFY PLANT AND HOLDS IT IN HER HAND. SHE CLOSSES HER EYES AND CHANTSS A MYSTERY WORD. WHEN SHE OPENS HER EYES, A STREAM OF GREEN ENERGY MOVES FROM THE PLANT, GOING THROUGH HER HAND AND INTO YOUR ARM. AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS PLANT CAN HEAL YOUR WOUNDS. IT IS A VERY USEFUL PLANT TO HAVE IN YOUR QUIRKY OLD CASTLE. I CAN GIVE YOU SOME SEEDLINGS TO PLANT IN YOUR GARDEN.
Logan
that would be awesome
Luna Nightshade

SHE PICKS A FEW SEEDLINGS AND PUTS THEM IN A POUCH. SHE HANDS IT TO YOU, AND THEN LEADS YOU TO A ROCKY HILLSIDE. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AREAS OF MY CASTLE. THE LAND HERE IS VERY MALLEABLE, AND CAN BE SHAPED TO YOUR LIKING. I OFTEN COME HERE TO PRACTICE MY CRAFT. IF YOU'D LIKE, I CAN SHOW YOU SOME OF MY TRICKS.
