A Geek's Guide: Eastern Rhapsody

[x] Stay

You shake your head and emit a light sigh.

Leaving was silly to even ponder in hindsight, but alleviating the question in the matter was imperative for you to clear your mind. Doubting yourself would have only served to distract you from whichever you wished to pursue.

You leave your place in the veranda, taking a piece of pounded rice cake to consume as you made your way to the study within the house. It is bland and tasteless, but it is plenty and rarely spoils unless taken from the dry storage they are kept within. To keep you fed and allow for the most amount of time available from the day, they were absolutely imperative.

You reach the study within a few moments. Unlike the rough, wooden floors of the rest of your home the floor is made from woven panels that are soft to your feet. To spend hours sitting about on the hard wood of the rest of your home would have been nigh impossible, the comfortable construction of the room also assured your control over the elements within. Different from the rest of the house, no air, light or moisture reached within the room without your own interference.

Shifting aside the windows and the doors, the air readily rushes into the dusty room containing the three sets of scrolls upon racks on the walls.

There was never time in your ancestors lives for them to read the scrolls themselves, but they always wished to do so. Any excess currency the managed went into purchasing the books that graced their eyes. If anything the rice-straw room with a single table you stood within held the more knowledge than the neighboring town.

The titles upon the scrolls differed one another, not a single one with the same author. Most were still sealed in wax, and even the oldest ones that are in your family are hardly of lesser quality than those. Great care has been taken in your family, too keep this treasury of knowledge carefully kept.

The room intimidates you.

Here you learned the intricacies of language and writing, but you have never read anything beyond that of what merchants detailed to you and your father.

But now?

You know that you ignorant because of your upbringing, and given your nature as a Mystic it could only serve to further harm your interactions with others of your race. While your father merely lacked the education or culture to be considered 'civilized' as those he traded with you also lack the… 'heated temperament' expected of your fellow beings.

But then there were a multitude of other subjects that of which to practice. Of the multitude only the handling of any form weaponry and explosives making you queasy, while learning of the mystic arts and of others exciting you.

As you are now, with your slight grasp on knowing how others thought and slight of tongue, you know that you are limited and lacking.

You must be diligent now, in learning rather than on the field.

*Warning: Early Eastern Culture has never been kind to women, even more so than western in fact. As I feel it would be detrimental to the setting if lost, it will be left in.*

Either round off the rest of the skillset for combo use or reinforce the ones that already were started off on. Thinking for the moment.

Would like to ask the GM some questions for detail/info on some of the skills, for reference of course.

[X] Male
I'm about to go to sleep, but sure shoot them off!

I was meaning like a short explanation in the manner akin to how some of them already have such descriptor. Like how People and Object both have a short descriptor to 'explain' them in general terms. Which most of the other ones lack.

Have to agree with Rein for a short description of each Skill before I start voting on that part.
Because I don't want a repeat of the tunnel vision that occurred in my last quest, this one has a more 'organic' skill growth that gradually reveals itself overtime.
 
Long Live the Queen?! That game?! :eek:

If that is the case... we are so very much fucked. :(
