Oof! Business has certainly been booming here as of late. With the nights short and pleasant, people are finding themselves less inclined to remain home after the sun sets, so I have had to extend my evening hours! Though, I'm afraid I don't understand what this fuss is about the heat - its barely hot enough to cook a turtleduck egg on a roof tile! When you can cook a side of lamb on a flag stone, then I will be impressed!

Now if only some people would get over this nonsense of "chilled tea"...

All right, community, let's see if you prove useful for once.

Who here comes from a world with magic? And feel free to define your world's version of 'magic'.

Okay, duck-leheads, this one is gonna seem kind of odd - unless you get it immediately.

Anyone else come from a world where relationships are power, literally? Where getting honest-to-god closer, more trusting and more intimate, is a source of magical/psychic/combat/whatever strength?

And... how do you keep yourselves honest about relationships, knowing that they get you upgrades?

You can post anon and locked if you wanna.
