2025-10-07 06:15:02 +0000 UTC View PostAfter narrowly avoiding a self-inflicted catastrophe, I took a moment to calm down. I wanted to examine my skills to identify any I wouldn't necessarily miss for experimentation, while also trying to pinpoint those that might further my develop...
2025-10-06 06:15:01 +0000 UTC View PostLily silently paged through the uncovered notes, trying to see if she could make any sense of them without Arakil's help. He must have known her intentions because he didn't disturb her during the process.

2025-09-28 14:29:30 +0000 UTC View PostLily, Lotte, and the other three students stood around awkwardly waiting for Professor Sylwel to finish what he was doing. He was writing something down while occasionally glancing at the door as the last few students slowly milled out.
Vee continued blinking around, trying to find her next destination. She did have the [Mapping] skill thanks to Syl effectively passing it over for free through [Companion Training], but it wasn't really enough to help her just yet.

My idea for Sylvain was to have him be a more refined version of Kurt. He would have a wanderlust for exploration and adventure without any of the cockiness. Not...
