♬ Reasons Why - Nickel Creek

WHO || Kat, Myrilandel,  open if people want to bang into them, just threadjack wherever.
WHAT || Kat's unconventional means of getting to know her squire
WHERE || Knight's HQ, Myrilandel's room
WHEN || Tuesday evening
HOW || Actionspam

[Well, all the squires have gotten an extra long weekend to get settled around this place, but now it's time to get down to brass tacks.  Or something.  And Kat comes a knockin' on Myri's door with plans.]

Hope nobody's hung over in there.

[As they approach and the city's skyline comes into view, Myri gasps, but not in nausea or discomfort.]

Oh, Kat... [She breathes.] It's beautiful.

[shootfirst]

Didn't have anything like this back home, huh?

[witchwoman]

No. Nothing. [She leans forward, looking intently out the windshield] And all this light... I assume it's like the castle? Lit without candles?

[shootfirst]

Every last bit of it. You can bet it takes a lot of power. Costs a lot of money, too.

[witchwoman]

It reminds me of the ley lines... [She muses to herself. After a moment she glances up.] So many lights... But where are the stars?

[shootfirst]

Still there. Promise. But there's so much light down here that it drowns them out up there. Crazy, right?

[witchwoman]

Your world is a wonder, Sir Kat.

[shootfirst]

Too bad I can't take credit for most of it... [She pulls off to the side of the road to park]

[witchwoman]

[Oh good. Stopping. Stopping is so good.]

We've arrived? [She asks, though as soon as they're stationary, she's halfway out of the car. Solid ground is so nice.]

[shootfirst]

It's easier to walk around the city once we're in it, than try fighting traffic the whole way.

[witchwoman]

Walking sounds wonderful. [Her face lights up, knowing that she can be her own mode of transportation for now.] Lead the way.

IDK HOW MUCH OF THIS YOU WANT TO PLAY SOOOO feel free to tell me lmao

[shootfirst]

[Kat hops over to the sidewalk, looping her arm through Myri's and steering her through the crowds.] So, I figure we can try and pick you up some more clothes at least, since... as fun as it is to just keep trying to find stuff around the castle that fits, I'm sure that'll get old fast.

IM OKAY WITH HANDWAVING. UNLESS YOU HAD A GOAL OTHER THAN TEACHING HER MODERN STUFF.

[witchwoman]

[Myri finds herself smiling again, which is a nice, warm feeling. The city is big and bustling and a lot to take in, but with Kat there, it's easier.]

I would like to have a few things of my own. I suppose that's what the strange square card is for? Someone said it was currency...

NAW that's all, culture shock ftw

[shootfirst]

Then that'll definitely be your first lesson.

Then let us wrap this up :)

[And then Myri learns about clothes and music and street vendors and other such things.

... and at the end, there is probably ice cream.]
