Jamie nods. "I'll see if I can find her. She moves around a lot helping people. Is there anything else you need, ma'am?"

Jamie nods. "I'll see if I can find her. She moves around a lot helping people. Is there anything else you need, ma'am?"
Meanwhile, Abigail is currently having breakfast!
[Outside]
Not at this particular moment, no. In the long run, I guess I'll need clothes. She smiles a little. I was transported to this realm rather abrubtly.
[Kitchen]
Brinika pokes her head inside, watching Abigail. She doesn't know much about the older girl, just that she's friends with Jamie.
Abigail is currently eating, and talking on the phone. "Yep... yep... no, nothing's broken... dad, if I break one of the parts I'll call you, okay?
...no, I haven't. Seeyabye!"
She hangs up, and sighs. "Geez... asking me something like that..."
Then she spots Brinika! "Hi, there!"
[Outside]
Reinholdt is wandering around, largely looking in on how the reconstruction of the Infirmary is coming along.
Outside
"Oh." Jamie blinks in surprise. "Well, we can figure out something then. What was your world like?"
[Kitchen]
Hi, Brinika says, walking into the kitchen, Caretaker hovering behind her. Um, I don't think I've introduced myself. I'm Brinika.
[Outside]
Sophie looks away with a sad expression. It looks normal at the first glance... but underneath it, it's dark and dangerous. Nothing a girl at your age would want to know about.
If people continued to help Reelshka with the reconstruction effort, some progress has definetly been made.
Outside
Jamie narrows her eyes, crosses her arms, and harrumfs at Sophie.
...she'd be saying something comforting, having noticed the sad expression, but that last comment used up her brownie points.
"Try me."
...it's scary sometimes how much she sounds like her father. :smalleek:
[Outside]
Sarah is on top of one of the cabins, summoning flame and weaving it in pretty little formations. It's impractical magic, she seems to be just using her powers for entertainment. Speaking a command word every so often.
Abigail grins at her. "Nice to meet you, Brinika. I'm Abigail."
[Outside]
Sophie's eyes narrow. Well, what if I told you that underneath the mask of normalcy swarm monsters, pulling humanity's strings since pretty much forever? And that I was one of the people chosen to fight an uphill battle against those monsters?
[Kitchen]
It's real nice to meet you too, Abigail. This is Caretaker. The tiny goblin points to the GLoG drone next to her. It's covered in patterns of dark blue and violet paint and has paper-mache goblin ears taped on. Jamie told me you've been friends with her for a long time.
Outside
"Really? That sounds like some of my friends," Jamie says matter-of-factly, relaxing a bit. And even managing a bit of a smile. "I've fought monsters too. Both monster monsters and human monsters. I'm not sheltered."
[Outside]
"Practicin'." Sarah says, grinning at Reinholdt from behind a tiny aurora of flame. Then she notes how he got up there. "Hey! You can fly!"
[Cabin Roof]
"I don't think it's wise practicing fire on a cabin roof." Reinholdt says with a frown.
"And yes. I can fly. It's a... trait I picked up from a Will O'Wisp attack."
"Yeah, I have. Longer for me than for her, in fact."
[Outside]
Really? Sophie looks surprised. Aren't you too young? As far as I know, every hunter was Imbued over eighteen.
[Kitchen]
Brinika looks confused, one of her ears perks up and the other droops. What do you mean?
Outside
"Well, I was born here," Jamie explains. "I think it's different from how things work for you. But awhile back I discovered I have powers. Wanna see?"
Oh, hey, let's try something new...
A young man with dark hair and a pleasant countenance is walking along the shore of the lake. His attire is modern and he is using what appears to be a metal detector on the ground. Many blinking LEDs adorn the device, which is presumably giving the man information through a small display at the top and through a set of connected headphones.
"I had to go back to my home universe for a while, and it was four years for me and only six months for Jamie."
[Cabin Roof]
"I can't get hurt, silly. Watch." Sarah says, and likely before he can do anything, she touches her cheek. And... the very flesh bursts into flame. She hisses, eyes moistening from the pain, and the flame goes out. Her hands have already been burned very badly several times now, so she's used to it.
Seconds later, her cheek is perfectly healthy again. "And that's neat. Can I get that from a will-wisp?" She says, shortening the word.
[Outside]
Sure, I guess. Considering how traumatic her - and everyone else's - Imbuing was, Sophie can't help but wonder what happened to Jamie to grant her powers.
[Kitchen]
Brinika blinks. I don't understand.
Abigail chuckles. "Basically, time went faster there than it does here."
[Cabin Roof]
Reinholdt flinches when she sets herself on fire, turning to look away. And noting some guy by the lake. Huh. Have to deal with that later though. He looks back at her with a frown of irritation.
"I was more worried that you might accidentally catch the cabin on fire. You should practice fire stuff down by the lake." :smallannoyed:
"As for the Will O'Wisp? I guess. You're more likely to turn into one permanently than get powers from them. I got lucky."
Outside
Jamie grins, grabbing a handy nearby stick, and raising it to the air.
"I am the Druid Princess Mikani, defender of nature's beauty and leader of pure hearts!" she calls out, as the wind picks up!
And in a swirl of wind and ribbons, she transforms..
[Outside]
Sophie raises her eyebrows. Impressive. How did you get that power?
[Kitchen]
I'm still confused. I mean, time is time. It just... I dunno. Passes by.
Protip: trying to explain the concept of varied flows of time to a nine-year-old magically illiterate girl from a magic-poor world is a bad idea. :smalltongue:
[Lake]
Reelshka spots the wandering young man from her makeshift desk and sends a GLoG drone to investigate.
[Lake]
The young man is intercepted by the drone before he gets too close to the camp. He removes his headphones while giving the machine a curious look.
*waves at FF*

"I...dunno, really?" Mikani says, shrugging. "Just one day I needed it, and it was there." She smiles broadly.
[Lake]
Statement: You are on the grounds of the Good League of Good
Request: Please state your business.
[Outside]
Sophie looks into the distance. That's funny. I also needed my powers one day and then they came.
Outside
"Really? That's cool." Mikani smiles. "There's a few other people here like me, and there were others too but they had to go home..."
