001 [Video]
[So, Ruby's been here awhile but hasn't bothered to make many comments--or any posts--on the network. But she's definitely been stalking them, and learning as much as she can about Hadriel and the people in it.
So that's why she feels confident in making this post, opening with a friendly smile and broadcasting from one of the abandoned shops.]
Hi, everyone. I've met some of you here, but for those I haven't talked to yet, I'm Ruby.
[She smooths a small segment of her hair between her fingers, looking as innocent and nonthreatening as possible.]
I'm helping out with the pickling and jamming and other food preservation efforts now that we have the new orchard, but that's not really what I wanted to talk about. Something totally different, actually.
[She pauses a moment, like she's gathering up her nerve to continue.]
I've seen that a whole lot of people here have magic, or supernatural powers, or some combination of them. I know that there's a lot of reasons why you might want to be private or secretive about them--I have been--but those of you who don't mind sharing, I thought it might be useful to what each other knows. Maybe we can even figure out ways to combine our skills.
[Mostly Ruby wants to know what other people are capable of and how she can use that to her benefit but close enough, right? RIGHT?]
Some of the magic in my world is teachable, too, so I'm willing to talk to anyone who might be interested in that. I can't guarantee anything, but the more we can all take care of ourselves the safer we'll all be.

[Not really true, but whatever. At least about it being easier to protect yourself than fight.]

[Which is actually completely true, since they've usually killed everyone in one blow, save for two people.]
text
[And she knows how to get around her own magic so it's very little risk to share these types of spells.]

Both would be welcome, given the place we now live in. I would rather be taught if possible.
[because they don't want to rely on too many things made by others.]
text
[She's curious to start meeting more people face to face too.]
text
[They now had...a ridiculous amount of time on their hands, it seemed. Best to find something to fill it with.]

I'll need a few days to gather some components for the spells I'd like to teach you, so I'll give you a call then?
