STAHN AILERON

A true sunshine protagonist. Country bumpkin, slow on the uptake. Wants to be everyone's friend. Swordian Master of fire, incredibly hot-blooded. A GOOD BEAN. Please love him. He's my favorite and I am biased.

HAROLD BERSELIUS

The original fabulous Tales science lady. Probably wants to dissect you pretty shamelessly. Loves and adores cute things. Inventor of the Swordians. Definitely the definition of Mad Scientist.

THROWS HER AT

[probings]

[really, even without the carrying on, magilou did well to raise approximately four thousand alarm bells.

she can feel the change in atmosphere, after all—which sends her a-lookin' for whatever caused the disturbance.

...which leads her to magilou, looking... well, completely inappropriately dressed for a war in the middle of an ice age.]

Hey, you!

[she's calling out from a near distance.]

Come over here for a sec!

[she's got some investigating to do, apparently.]

nothing will go wrong in this thread at all

[spinatalltale]

Ugh! I'm so cold, I'm hallucinating a human-shaped pink splotch against the pure white snow, calling out to me! She's saying. . . "come over here for a sec! I'll give you hot chocolate to warm up your aching bones!"

[hint]

[hint]

[also she's not moving to oblige that call just yet I'm sorry]

absolutely not, they're going to be just fine

[probings]

[well.]

Well, if the cute little mage from another world or time wants to be an icicle-mage, there's not much I can do about that.

[she's not offering anything directly. but the implication is that she'll lead magilou to some kind of warmth if she decides to stop being so stubborn and just.

you know, follow her.]

1/2

[spinatalltale]

[WHA HEY!! immediately jabs a finger at Harold. . . but then she realizes that this leaves her even more susceptible to the cold, so she wraps her arms around herself tightly again seconds later]

Whoa, hey! That's stereotyping! Don't assume I'm a mage just based on my appearance alone. I am none other than the great, the illustrious, the-





[a pause]

wait no 2/3. . .

[spinatalltale]

ACHOO!

[spinatalltale]

[uuuuuuuuuuugh. . .]

. . .

It's too f-f-f-freezing for fancy introductions.

[with an irritated huff, she scuttles through the snow towards Harold]

Hey, you know where shelter is, right Pinkie?

[probings]

Not only do I know it, I'm the one that engineered it. So you might. Want to. Be nice to me. ♥

[and then, matter-of-factly.]

Harold. Even if Pinkie does sound kind of cute.

[spinatalltale]

[oh. this woman is good. boo on Magilou having to restrain herself if she doesn't want to turn into a Magipopsicle!!]

[TIME TO SUCK UP]

You're a beautiful angel in the blizzard, so to speak! My dear, sweet, newest best friend.

[probings]

Oh-hoooo~ ♪

[talk about a sudden change of tune.]

Best friend might be pushing it, but I might be a little more willing if those niceties continue.

[just acknowledge that she's either cute or a genius and she'll probably be gleeful, honestly.]

[spinatalltale]

[ACHOO]

. . . while I'd love to keep showing you in lavish compliments, if I stand out here any longer I really might just freeze to death.

In case you haven't noticed, this witch isn't exactly dressed for cold weather. Why would she be, when she was expecting a beach!

[probings]

Well, it's not like it's my fault your calculations were off. I'd never make a mistake like that!

[because she's a genius, duh.]

Come on, come on! Vamoose, unless you want to really become a magecicle!

[spinatalltale]

Ooooooh. . .! I'm sure everyone makes a teeny tiny mistake like this one every so often.

[BUT, she's falling into step behind Harold]

And as fun as a magecicle sounds in theory, I'd very much like to pass.

[probings]

Someone with my genius doesn't make those sort of mistakes.

[no, when she messes up, it can literally drive a person to having their entire consciousness break down.

but it's fine, she doesn't know that yet. and she won't until the war is over, so whatever.]

I can help with the icicles that are about to form in your nostrils, though. ♪ Radislowe is as warm as you're going to get in this whole world.

[probably for a bit of a price.

but she won't say that yet, either.]

[spinatalltale]

[fortunately Magilou has gald on her??? and she can appreciate an enterprising woman]

. . .

Radislowe?

[explain plz]

[probings]

[her gald is accepted at this location, at least. yay, shared currency.]

Could it be that you have icicles in your ears, too?

[she doesn't expect magilou to know what it is, but obviously it's a warm place! which she'll see soon enough. it looks like it's part of the very military base itself, but the stairs lead up to a large, docked ship. they're at the coast, after all. but it's definitely no pirate ship or anything of that sort.]

[spinatalltale]

"Radislowe" simply isn't a word that exists in my every day dictionary. Not like the phrases "magikazam" and "where is the bathroom" and "please officer, I'm innocent, I swear!"

[what]

[BUT BOY, IS SHE EVER HAPPY TO BE LED TO A WARM PLACE]

Aaaw, if there's a ship here, we must be near the coast. Maybe I wasn't too far off from the beach after all?

[probings]

Does it have to be? I'm sure you could figure it out if you rubbed a couple of brain cells together.

[maybe. harold is savage when it comes to people's intelligence, though. she's got no time for stupid people!]

Anyway, there might be a beach under that snow, but you won't find any place in this world that isn't covered in the white stuff, so you're out of luck there, little magecicle!

[spinatalltale]

Eh. That sounds like too much effort. I'll leave the heavy-lifting to self-proclaimed geniuses such as yourself.

[AT LEAST SHE ISN'T TAKING IT PERSONALLY]

Uho, with a claim like that one, you're starting to make me wonder if I accidentally stumbled into an ice age. . .

[probings]

B-I-N-G-O!

[you did it, magilou, you cracked the code.]

[spinatalltale]

[. . . . . . NO]

It's like my own personalized circle of hell!! What have I done to deserve this?!

[probings]

Who knows? I'm a scientist, not your moral compass.

[shrug. clearly, it doesn't matter much to harold either way.]

[spinatalltale]

And here I thought you had all the answers!!

[being dramatic for drama's sake]

. . . okay, well, me potentially being punished for my sins aside, why don't you give me a little tour of your "warmest place on the planet?" Or a little explanation that helps me understand why it looks like I also dropped into the middle of a war zone?

[probings]

Well... probably because you dropped in the middle of a war zone. ♪

[duh.]

Radislowe is the center of our base of operations, so it's got all the amenities you'd need... within reason. It's not a resort, after all!

[spinatalltale]

You might be able to make it a resort if you advertise it as a weekend getaway in the mountains.

[that is probably not the point she's making, Magilou!1]

[probings]

Do you always go vacationing in military bases centered in a war zone?

[yeah, she's questioning how stupid magilou actually is right now.]
