[ He just wanted Oreos! Why does he go first??? ]

Uh, well, half the class kind of already knows me from the morning classes.. But, yeah. I'm Rin-- Erin James Faolain, actually, but just call me Rin.

And... [ Didn't she say something about asking her a question, any question, about the class? ] Since the class is about realms beyond the Fifth World, is there a chance we get to visit them? Sometime? Maybe?

[redemancy]

It's nice to meet you, Rin.

[ She's heard a bit about you already. News travels fast among members of the Pleiades, especially if they're from Zangyaku. ]

Yes, actually. We will be taking guided field trips throughout the course of this year. Is there any particular realm that you'd like to visit?

[magicmissile]

[ He smiles, oblivious that she knows his story. ]

Oh, well... Considering I haven't been to any of those realms... All of them?

[redemancy]

I'm afraid I can't indulge you with THAT request, but you'll certainly be able to go to most of the realms that we'll be discussing. The rest, we can do virtual walkthroughs for.

[ Because there is no chance in all the Realms that she will subject any of you kids to the Other World, the Underworld or the Infernal Realms. Nope. ]

[magicmissile]

Fair enough.

But, uh... Another question? Which one's the best place to have summer vacation at?

[redemancy]

I'm inclined to say none of them, honestly. The only "safe" area is the Prime Material Plane.

[ Yeah, your teacher used airquotes back there. ]

[magicmissile]

...Oh.

[ Disappointed now :/ ]

Roll Intelligence + Occult. You can play the results as Mage Scrutiny or Rin Read About That Shit.

[redemancy]

[ Sorry, honey. XD ]

There is beauty to be found in the places that we'll be going to or viewing, I can assure you of that. But none of them are places that we should be staying in for very long... unless, of course, it's one of the Vigil Courts within Arcadia.

[ He's totally read about that shit, especially after meeting Lyall at the Great Hall the other day. ]

Like the Lightless Lands?

[redemancy]

[ Blinking once, then nodding with an appreciate look. ]

That exactly. You've done some reading.

[ People outside of the Vigil and students rarely know about the Realms of the Blade King. ]

[magicmissile]

[ He brightens a little. ]

Yeah... I met a changeling yesterday [ He smiles in Lyall's direction ] and I realized I didn't know much about them so I read up a bit, and my readings kind of went there. [ AKA, he has the study habits of someone who easily gets lost in TV Tropes. Kind of like a book version of a Wiki Walker. Except he had both physical books, and their e-versions. ]

[redemancy]

[ Oho. Now it makes sense. ]

I think that if that's the approach that you take to everything that you don't know, Rin, I'm going to really like having you in my class.
