"I think you should think about it, Calvin. You're at an age when you should be preparing to leave home and make your own life. You have to decide what you want that life to be. If you never decide, and just stay with your uncle and carry on with how things are... well, that's a decision too." Charity says.My avatar! Isn't it just utterly diabolical? Ashen Lilies made it!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
Inside
Krystal doesn't move her hand away. The crystals will feel pretty much the same as a diamond would.
Krystal shakes her head a bit. Not really. I've been doing it for almost seven years now, so it barely registers. At least, not on the places I usually make them grow from.
As for the scars, I think that's cause my healing isn't perfect. Just close. And after so long of doing it, the scars slowly build up.

Market Street
((Sorry for the delay))
Sulfur and bonedust? As was growing horribly familiar, the Wizard finds himself entirely confused. Those were common ingredients, used by every alchemist from apprentice to mage. What were the chances that they could have the miraculous properties Nephea ascribed them? And being able to compose potions without a catalyst? Alchemy didn't work that way, did it?
Not that the Wizard doubted her. He saw no reason Nephea would wish to deceive him. It was just.... Confusing. Very, very confusing. I, uh.... I'm beginning to think this isn't something I can easily understand. But thank you for your help. Now, where was he?
Picking out two familiar names from the available selection of healing potions, assuming there are any, the Wizard sets them on the counter. How much for these two? He knows a healing spell himself, but recent events had proven it to be dangerous unfit for real combat.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
[Inside]
Krystal shakes her head, then holds up her index finger of her left hand.
Here, let me.
Three of the crystals quickly retract back into her fist, the wounds they made sealing up fairly quick. With her left hand, Krystal grabs the one that's left and gives a tug. It comes free from her hand.
Once I extend them to twice the original length of the bone, they snap off in the middle. I can use them as projectiles that way, while keeping my bones in place.
She'll offer the small crystal to the Lady to take.

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
[Dinner and a Pony]
The in-depth debate manages to get a smile out of Sigil. He spears another carrot and decides to pose what he believes to be an interesting question! A question that he has devoted much of his time to answering.
"Well children, since you seem to be so passionate about what is and isn't magic maybe you could both tell me what you think the proper answer is?" he asks. Then gestures with a hoof. "One at a time, of course. What do you think magic is?"
Often times various worlds have their own clear cut definition of what is and isn't magic.
But in a place like the Nexus?
It becomes a much more complex and often muddled question.Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48

That's easy. Magic is an elemental force that can be controlled and shaped to do pretty much anything.
She sounds like she is reciting out of a book. Which she is.
No. Magic is magic. Its like... when you make a wish and it comes true.
He sticks his tongue out at his sister and she returns the gesture. Terref smiles and chuckles.Still not really here. Still just an illusion.

"Both very good answers!" the unipony replies, giving his hooves a quick clop together to get the children's attention.
"Magic is indeed an expression of one of the fundamental elements of the cosmos. And magic is also rather akin to making a wish that comes true. Now, here in the Nexus there are many many things that people call magic. They all disagree about where magic comes from. And how one uses it. And what powers it, if anything at all!"
Sigil makes a vague waving motion as he speaks.
"But what if they're all right? What if magic is all those crazy and seemingly clashing things? And even a few more that are so mundane that people usually don't consider it magic at all? You wish for something to happen-"
The unipony lights up his horn causing a pearlecent glow to surround a burssel sprout and levitates it into the air.
"-and it happens. I wished this brussel sprout off the plate, and so it is. Was that magic?"
The glow vanishes and the veggie drops back to the plate. This time he spears the brussel sprout with his fork and lifts it once more.
"Again, I wished this brussel sprout off the plate, and so it is. What about now? Is this magic? And if not how is it different?"Warning! Random Encounter™ detected!

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48

You used your fork and just picked it up. That's different than levitating it.
Kenas, on the other hand, seems to be mulling it over a bit more thoroughly.
Not everyone can use magic. But everybody can pick things up.
Not everybody, dear.Still not really here. Still just an illusion.

Krystal nods a little, raising an eyebrow.
Yeah...is that really surprising? I've seen worse places than this that people live in.

"Yeah I know. I don't know if I would do well out in the real world, at least in my uncle's I know the rules. I understand basically how things work. On my own...
The idea scares him more then he would admit. While his uncle may have seen to his training in certain useful areas, fighting and theivery, he hasn't been to worried about getting him ready to go out on his own.Check out My Writing

Re: [Nexus] Inside 48
"The only rules for being a grownup are the ones you make for yourself," Charity says, after releasing an exhalation of smoke from the hookah she totally started smoking several posts back. *applies handwavium* "My rule is 'Do no harm'. My boyfriend's rule is 'Protect the innocent'. Which of us is right? I think we both are. He's made the right choice for his life, and I've made the right choice for mine."

Calvin tries to think of what the overarching rule in his life would be. Don't let them stab you in the parts you need. Know your limits. Always know your way out of a room. None of the ones comint to mind seem to fit quite right.

"You will. Over and over. That's life. Good and bad. Joy and sorrow. Success and ****ing everything up. Calvin, if you're just going to do what your Uncle tells you, what's the point of there being a Calvin in the world? You have your own mind, your own will, your own existence. You shouldn't just be an extension of his will, any more than I should have stayed in my mother's house catering to a whims of a bipolar woman who refused treatment. I had to get me and my sister out, even though it hurt my mother. Even though it hurt me and Sunny. Even though I screwed up a lot of things when it was the two of us living on our own. At least they were my screw-ups."

"Just because you left your mother doesn't mean I should leave my uncle. I mean you got to take your sister with you, I have no other family. I do have my own mind, but why not listen to his experience, learn from him while I can. He took care of me should I just abandon him?"
Protect your family, that is a rule he could live by. It is a popular message his uncle has taught him over the years. Maybe that one would work.Check out My Writing

Calvin frowns a bit at the question thinking it over. He wishes it was simplier then it was.
"No. Not always, but I want to protect him. Make sure he is safe."
He doesn't think that he could keep him safe without working with him either. If he started not doing what his uncle said he would quickly either be kicked out of the house, or persuaded to change his mind. At least that is what Calvin figures from his previous experinces questioning his Uncle.Check out My Writing

Aiden has been nearly inconsolable for some time now, locking himself in his room and only opening the door for meals. At this point, anyone listening at his door might hear the furious typing of an electronic typewriter.

The reaction of the people there likely depends on his appearance when he's been getting his meals, since if this is just how he writes, they won't want to disturb him.
