>>You're inside a small room with a bed in the corner, next to a tall bookshelf. A short table lies in the center of the room. In place of chairs, there lay cushions for sitting. The table is littered with all sorts of tiny objects and pieces of cloth. On the other side of the room is a window at about eye level. Across from you is the door to the rest of the house. You suspect that this is probably the girl's room.

>>You take a good look around the room while she's gone for objects that might catch your interest.

>>The
only thing that would represent a weapon is an odd staff in the corner.
You could whack things with it, but that's about it.

>>You skim the bookshelf and the table for a map, but there don't seem to be any of the surrounding area.

>>Judging
from just the front covers and titles of the books on the shelf, there
don't seem to be any books about black magic.

>>During your
inspection, you come across a white book. It stands out from the rest
because, unlike the other books, it's personally decorated on the front
with lacing and drawings and such. The front of it says "Diary" while
the back of it says "Useful Magic."

>>tl;dr It's the same as before, but checking something more in depth might yield more clues about the girl.

Oh wow, didn't know my last post screwed up on formatting.

>>It'll be virtually impossible to check everything in detail before the girl returns. Do you still want to try?

>>You figure you'll might as well take the risk and jump into it.

>>You start with examining the materials on the table. The pieces of cloth have varying sizes, textures, and patterns. There are are tiny buttons and pins with some yarn through them. Lying on the edge of the table are some needles commonly used for sewing.

>>Standing up, the next thing that catches your eye is the staff in the corner of the room. It seems pretty ordinary at first, but as you walk up to it, you can see that it has quite a complicated design. At the top, it's carved in a shape like that of a rose that hasn't yet bloomed, with carvings overlapping each other like petals of a rose would. Following it down, it gets less intricate until it simply comes to a blunt point at the bottom. You turn it over and notice a symbol in the back. It looks like a star split into three parts, surrounded by a circle that touches all five points of the star.

>>Next to the staff is another piece of clothing, larger this time. You pick it up to examine it. It looks like it could be either the bottom half of an unfinished dress or an eloquently made skirt. The fabric is a light blue color and very soft to the touch. White lace decorates the dress with a criss-crossing pattern, and small beads are embedded in it that create what looks like snow on the dress. You shift it over a little and notice there's an envelope sticking out of one of the pockets.

>>You can hear the girl's footsteps returning once again.

>but i still check the staff in the corner to see if it casts lightning bolts or something.  

>>Right before Aya enters the room, you inspect the staff one last time. You know nothing about magic, so you don't really have a way to check if it shoots lightning or not. But really, on the surface, it's just a plain wood staff.

>>She returns with a steaming bowl of soup. You quickly look back and act nonchalant.

>>"Here's the soup; take a seat and have some."

> I ask her, "Say... are you a magician? An elf?... or something else?... oh I know, maybe a doctor!". I look at her with my smiling face. I'm starting to get comfortable around her.

(LEAVING OFF FROM WHERE I LEFT OFF YOU SAID) >>You manage to arrive at her house, soaking wet and tired.
>>"No, please," she urges. "Come inside. You'll get sick if you stay out here."
>>She tugs at your arm to pull you inside the house.

>I walk inside her house almost fully trusting her.
>"Thanks your really kind you know that?"

Reptile : We're a bit far from that point.

>>You sit down across from her and she puts the bowl of hot soup in front of you.

>>The soup looks pretty good from the outside. It has plenty of vegetables and even a couple pieces of meat.

>>"An elf?" She giggles. "Those aren't real. I'm not a doctor either, even though I know a couple of home remedies. I am learning some magic on the side, but I'm nowhere near a professional yet." Aya smiles warmly back at you. "My family actually farms here. It isn't very exciting, I know, but we're all quite content with what we have."

Someone70 : K

>I die from the poison she gave me after believing her
>"Whyy?!"
>X_x

Please be a bit more serious >.> You do not die from poison.

Someone70 : I was trying to drop out in a way that makes it real..cuz im done

>I ask her eagerly "could you teach me some combat spells?  :3"

>>She giggles again. "If you're asking for a magic tutor, then you're asking the wrong person. But I suppose I can teach you what I know later. It really isn't--"

>>She is cut off by a loud slam outside the room. You can hear shouting and crashing of objects. Aya, panicked, rushes to the door.

>i say "quick, tell me the most badass combat spell you know!" while grabbing the staff in the corner to use as a club.">https://www.vizzed.com/boards/cuteeditor_files/Style/SyntaxHighlighter.css);

Is this still going on?

Benpsycho : It is... If anyone's willing to take it seriously that is...
