Second: Double, double toil and trouble
WHO: Caster and OPEN
WHAT: Learning how to use the network, failing at potion brewing and house hunting/shop browsing/working at the library in town
WHEN: Throughout January
WHERE: Various locations
WARNINGS: Setting things on fire, will update if need be!
1) Network, un: Caster
[Using the network was not Caster's forte by any means. She'd dismissed using technology such as mobile phones back home, leaving it to her Master and the monks at the temple to manage - why would a Magus from the Age of Gods have need for such things, after all? But, as an important tool to communicate in this world, however, she'd finally started trying to get a better handle on it.
First, some text!]
i trust this is functioning
yes it looks like it is
good
[And then her face - or what can be seen of it beneath the hood - along with the tip of a gloved thumb partially obscuring the camera could be seen over the video for just a moment. Right up until her skeletal dragon familiar gets it in its teeth and drags it off to play with it! Caster could be heard in the background giving a sigh of exasperation.]
You know that's not a toy. Bring it back.
2) At the Newcomer Hotel
[Potion brewing was something she'd carried out a fair bit in the past, so even with...less than ideal supplies, Caster thought that replicating her old knowledge here would be a relatively straightforward process.
However, it had failed to occur to her that, just like with her old magic, potions worked 'differently' here.
And so it was that there was a rather unpleasant smell of burning wafting down the hall of the newcomer's hotel, and a cloud of black smoke making its way out the window. Caster was cursing rather loudly as she dumped the charred mess that was probably supposed to be some sort of potion into the sink.
Hopefully just turning the taps on would cool this down...right?]
3) Out and About
[After the mess she'd caused at her current accommodation, Caster had cleared it up the best she could and headed out into town. She'd need to find somewhere else to stay at this rate, that was almost certain to get her thrown out... Well, for the time being, she could at least window shop to take her mind off things.
Caster found herself in and around town a fair bit during the month, looking for supplies, accommodation, or giving her familiar the chance to run around and hopefully not cause too much hassle for her in the meantime. Otherwise, she could often be found travelling to the outskirts to practice her magic.
She had at least been able to find a job at the library, It was pleasant, and for the most part, quiet. It gave her easy access to research material as well, and most importantly, it gave her some access to funds, even if most of that would probably be spent on alternative accommodation arrangements this month.]
X) Wildcard!

Though I think I am the last person who should be relied on the represent the family.
[He's about to disappoint everyone in a million different ways. Oh well, at least his disappointing people on his own terms for once.]
no subject
it sounds as if you have burned some bridges also
no subject
It's a relief though.

if you don't mind my asking

And I have learned that even if it feels like the world has ended, it never actually does.

[She'd...definitely had a miracle occur, when she thought it was all over.]
don't burn everything or you'll be left alone
no subject
But no, I do not plan on going that far. Not ever.
[If at least there's at least one person he can hold onto, then it should all work out. Probably.]
no subject
it is only when you truly have lost everything that you can set those last bridges alight
don't do that unless you have to
[It was something she knew far too well.]
no subject
I hope you have been following the same advice.
