Oh all kinds. Many of them are giant lethal animals? Not like the ones here. They sometimes have magic. They'll attack you out of no where, so going outside of protected towns is guaranteed fighting for your life. Or running!

[scathefires]

well that sounds at least as dangerous as where im from

less magic monsters and more mobsters and masked lunatics though

[alittlelonger]

We have other types of bad guys, they're just the most regular threat out and about. It's not really personal, we're food to them. Sounds like mobsters and lunatics might be a little more personal.

[scathefires]

you have no idea how personal it can get

[there's not much more personal than being murdered!]

sounds like youve already got the awareness part down though and thats one of the most important things

[alittlelonger]

I might have some idea.

[scathefires]

[jason has a doubt.]

you ever been beaten to death with a crowbar

[alittlelonger]

No, but I was possessed by a sorceress multiple times and used to hurt others, including my friends. And I agreed to be frozen indefinitely so she couldn't do it again. People feared me, they still do.

[scathefires]

ok i wasnt really expecting that

whats the story there

[alittlelonger]

I don't think anyone here had a normal life before. The sorceress could possess other ones. I didn't know I was one, so I was easy to take advantage of.

[scathefires]

[there are a lot of things jason hates, but people in a position of power preying on those without? that’s one of the top of his list.]

youre not frozen now though

you got rid of her eventually right

[alittlelonger]

My friends got me before I was frozen. I wasn't so sure it was the right idea at the time, but yes, we did eventually get rid of her. After she almost won by using me again. I had no idea I was magic in the first place.

[scathefires]

sounds like she got what she deserved

sounds like someone shouldve gotten rid of her sooner too

[alittlelonger]

She really did. She was a very evil, cruel, and violent woman. I'm not sorry at all that she's dead.

They would have, if they could, but she was very powerful.

[scathefires]

its not always about who has more power

strategy and tactics count for a lot too

[alittlelonger]

Not when your enemy also has that. Also she could warp time and space. She was so powerful.

[scathefires]

ok now thats just cheating

[alittlelonger]

Seriously! It's a little intense honestly. Because I am technically one of them, and of the sorceresses I know two are evil and one was just a toy for them, like me. I was supposed to be a good representation at home, so people would fear us less.

[scathefires]

nothing like having a big damn legacy to live up to huh

[jason miiiight know a little something about that.]

[alittlelonger]

Seriously. I'm not even sure where to start with that, honestly. I never learned how to use my powers, and I wasn't sure I still had them.

[scathefires]

nobody ever trained you?

[alittlelonger]

Well the only people who could really train me were evil, so.

[scathefires]

yeah thats probably for the best then

well im not evil and ill train you in some other stuff that will be more useful here anyway

[alittlelonger]

Thank you! I very much appreciate it.

[scathefires]

no prob

ill let you know when i get everything set up
