Tale as Old As Time [Finished]

[yamikuronue]

"It seems my compassion is ill-received this week," he adds, darkly, with a bitter chuckle.

[CalamityJade]

Morden sighed. "Still, I don't understand how that sort of thing seems to happen...though I guess I cannot fault them entirely. Were mundanes unable to stumble upon items of actual knowledge, I probably would be in a much different line of work."

Obsidian shrugged. "It's more like they ignore it and expect it to be fake. Case in point, I'm actually pretty bad at most magic stuff, so I figured making a 'cheat sheet' would be easier than memorizing a lot of shapes and phrases and keeping them in mind while fighting."

[accalia]

Echo laughs, the inflection of the laugh is unreadable.

"This week perhaps, but next week? or the week after? who knows? This one appreciates the gesture, even if this one won't accept it."

Julie: it happens, but it rare. Hmm... Looks like it's up to us to clean up after breakfast as Siegfried has disappeared.

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried sighs. "Out of curiosity, why was it important to you that I don't leave?"

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian shrugs. "Then we better do it now. This rate, he'll show up and start cleaning the instant he gets here and shoo everyone away like we'd mess it up." To be honest, he wasn't really comfortable having people clean up after him. Felt...wrong in an odd sort of way.

[accalia]

"Everyone has a place that they belong. Some like this one that belonging is temporary and ephemeral. For others like you it is more enduring, or so this one believes. This is where you belong and this one does not wish to see you leave it for somewhere you do not belong"

Julie: A good plan, then we can get a start on the paperwork while you talk to master Lance

Julie stands and starts gathering the dirty dishes within her reach.

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried nods slowly. "I'm coming to the realization that I... perhaps don't belong here. I've been considering enrolling in university -- perhaps studying acting, or culinary arts. Something I enjoy doing, with people who similarly enjoy doing it. Perhaps I could find a better home, one where I'm appreciated."

[CalamityJade]

Morden shrugged and picked up his plates. "That should make work much easier. With an influx, I can simply go about a plan to budget for the next few months and see what everything would possibly be priced at.

Obsidian didn't comment on obviously getting the more difficult job. "Sure...now I just have to figure out how to go about this."

[accalia]

"hmm.... that might be a good idea, the education this one means. One should always look to improve oneself and the education may help you learn more about your talent and how to control it."

Julie: In that case I'll start looking at adjusting rents at the properties that you're keeping, see how much we can expect to get by adjusting them.

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried chuckles. "I don't think they teach psychics 101 at Harvard. Or at State, which is more likely where I'd end up being accepted."

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian sighs as he starts with cleaning the dishes. "...you think you can come up with an idea how much it would fetch? Figured it might be easier if I can attach a number to the amount we really need to start fixing things."

[accalia]

Julie: by lunch time, certainly. a rough number at least..

"And right you are, but there are many courses that are not always on the public syllabus. mayhap one of those would help you? and regardless it is a great thing to expand one's mind in any regard."

[yamikuronue]

"I had thought of going to culinary school, but my schooling was non-traditional, I'm not certain I could get in. Still, though, it'd be nice to learn more about cooking..."

[CalamityJade]

"Then once this is done, I'll go talk to Lance about it." Obsidian continued cleaning dishes.

[accalia]

"This one once heard that one learns more by teaching than one learns by doing."

Julie: an excellent plan. Morden, i'll meat you in the front room where we were going over documents yesterday.
