Netbook; anonymous?

[Sort of. Min's taking advantage of ambidexterity because it's embarrassing to be bad at things. His handwriting is notably different from his usual and probably isn't immediately recognizable to anyone who isn't Ryan.]

What do people do if they can't protect themselves here? I don't want to be stuck inside all the time, but I don't want to have to rely on other people either.

Before anyone says it, I'm not looking to learn how to fight. With all the weirdness in this place there's got to be some other way.

Not yet, but I plan to. I saw some stuff in the shop that looked pretty cool.

[outofsynth]

I saw some stuff too, but I was kind of worried about looking too closely.

[ichoosefight]

You can always ask about them. They'd tell you if it was going to explode in your face.

[outofsynth]

Maybe. I wasn't sure about taking that chance. What stuff were you looking at?

[ichoosefight]

There was a cloak, some glasses, a weird lantern... stuff that would be boring if it wasn't magic.

[outofsynth]

I thought the lantern looked like it could be pretty useful. I ended up getting the tinder box instead.

[So. You know. The actually boring stuff.]

[ichoosefight]

[ wow ]

planning to start a lot of fires?

[outofsynth]

Not dangerous ones. It was still snowing.

[ichoosefight]

Maybe it's time to go back and shop some more?

[outofsynth]

Yeah. I think so. I might try talking to Ydalir as well as looking closer at what Heimr has.

[ichoosefight]

There you go! You can ask for help with your problem too.

[outofsynth]

With not being able to fight? That's what I'm trying to do.

[ichoosefight]

You are allowed to buy fun things too.

[outofsynth]

[This isn't Ryan's handwriting, but he's heard the same sentiment enough times he hears it in his voice anyway.]

I know that, but it's not like I'm going to have fun if I'm dead.

[ichoosefight]

Don't forget that there are more people than just you invested in keeping you alive, whether you want our protection or not.

[outofsynth]

Thanks. I'll try to remember that.
