[evocation]

hey to all the new kids.
i'm kyna. i'm a wizard, which means i can use magic, and i've been offering lessons and shit.
i know half of you are going to start with that whole "but magic doesn't exist" stuff or "i can't do it" but i've got a 100% success rate, so save the negativity.
my thing is mostly evocation, which basically means i can set shit on fire or zap it, but i know a lot of defensive spells, too.
i'm not teaching anyone any necromancy or anything, so if you guys have more cool ideas to go lich or want to try some other stupid shit, find another teacher.
everyone else can step right up though.

p.s. don't vote for the ice planet

[It has been a while, so Kyna opens the door and immediately stands on her tiptoes to hug him.]

Hey. How's it going? You haven't died of stress yet.

[lifetothefullest]

[This is pretty par for the course with Kyna at this point, so it only takes a moment before he returns the hug with a grin.]

Amazingly, yeah, I'm still here. Things have been... You know, this place, but they could be worse. How about you?

[evocation]

Pretty good. How's that whole... thing going. You know, with the null?

[Wash may or may not have spilled the beans on that one.]

[lifetothefullest]

[He's not even slightly surprised; he would've told her himself, but things have been kind of a blur and he was pretty sure Washington would fill her in anyway.]

It's... Going, I guess. The Null haven't attacked us and the gods haven't found out about it, so that's about as good as we could possibly ask for.

[evocation]

Don't jinx it.

[But really, it says a lot that that's the best he's hoping for.]

Did you fix it yet?

[lifetothefullest]

I'm hoping if I draw attention to how unlikely it is that things are going okay, then it'll negate the risk from mentioning it in the first place.

[He shakes his head at the question, but it isn't a definitive no.]

It's kind of complicated. Alphys is dealing with that sort of thing, I'm just trying to coordinate all the people.

[Which is a nightmare, by the way.]

[She wrinkles her nose.]

Jesus, Lance. You should just sign up to clean everyone's toilets or some shit. It would probably be more fun.

[lifetothefullest]

You're not wrong.

[It was really awful.]

There was almost a fight in the first meeting, so that was great.

[evocation]

A fight over what?

[She's not really surprised that people started arguing right away, but still.]

[lifetothefullest]

About what to do. There are too many people involved in this, and as you know most of those here are very...

[Give him a moment to consider an appropriate way to put it.]

Sure of themselves.

[That's a nice way to put 'everyone thinks they're right and aren't afraid to say so.']
