[ thankfully, the partying has finally died down. ciri has actually been able to enjoy some restful sleep in silence without the sudden explosions of fireworks or the deep bass of constant music. she still looks tired but settles the device in a safe place, sitting back with her silver sword in hand and carefully beginning to clean the blade. ]

A lot of us here have powers. Magic, alchemy and other such skills but I find myself curious. Has anyone else suffered having their powers taken from them? I've only had a portion of mine fully removed while the rest has been... dampened, I suppose.

[ she's pretty sure she knows why she was stripped of a portion of her powers. after all, it wouldn't be good if she could just leave this world when they were clearly brought here for some reason. still, she is curious if it was this 'door' or those 'gods' that are the cause. ]

Also: there are those here that wish to learn how to wield a sword, yes? I can help with that if you're serious. I can also teach others how to make bombs and potions. We had many potions back home that proved useful against monsters and other beasts, I am hoping they can prove useful here as well.

[ there's a move to end it but she pauses just before— ] And my name is Ciri.

I'm not familiar with the term but yes, I could travel across continents without the use of any instruments. I could even travel to different worlds.

It's the dimeritium, it's a very rare and precious metal that represses the transfer of magical energies. It's pretty easy to make a bomb that can release a cloud of it assuming you have access to the stuff which is... easier said than done here.

I have one but it was on me when I arrived here.

So that's not the kind of bomb that can be made with supplies here.

Of the ones you listed, what ones do you think you could teach others here to make? If you were willing, that is.

That we know of. We're trapped in a massive cave filled with monsters from the worlds we occupy brought through that door. I doubt anyone has done a metallurgy study so it might be worth looking into.

But in the meantime, I know I can definitely make the following: dancing star (typical explosion), grapeshot (shrapnel), samum (blinding) and likely devil's puffball which releases a cloud of poison. Certainly plenty of things around here that could be used in place of more typical poisons.
