It's Mother's Day tomorrow! Back home, that was a day when we honored our mothers. And the other influential women in our lives. I think it's a really nice holiday, so wanted to share it with everyone!

But I know a lot of us don't have our mothers or cool lady mentors here... So I thought, why don't we talk about them? And spread some love for them! Everyone, please tell me about your mothers and lovely women friends! My mother's name is Horie, and she's the beeest! She raised me to be a kind and thoughtful girl, and showed me that girls can be strong leaders! I love Mama soooo much!

[But her mother doesn't love her. What Satou is really fishing for right now are stories of what a mother should be like. And people to talk positively about her own mother too. If she says she loves her mother enough, maybe she'll really stop feeling so bitter and betrayed.]

[ action - Various Cities / Ends at Holodeck(Nova) ]
[Satou can be found around town on Saturday and Sunday, doing a bit of shopping. In particular, she's buying flower bouquets to hand out to a few ladies she admires in Genessia *cough Hikaru cough* Occasionally, she pauses randomly to watch the civilian families walk by.

By the end of the day, she's finds herself back at the Holodeck. Satou looks between her options: She could go and train her magic, becoming stronger and more like the perfect weapon her mother created her to be... or she could "sin" and goof off with the Fantasy RPG.]

... Would that be okay? She doesn't have to know. [Satou sighs.] She would be happy if I had fun on Mother's Day, right..? Though... That Mama was just a lie, huh...? 

[Realizing she just said something AWFUL about her mother, Satou smushes her cheeks and yells in public.] Noooo! Don't say that, you braaaat! Brat, brat, braaaat--- [Oh right, she's in public. Hanging her head in shame now. N-No one heard or saw that childish outburst, right?]

Support magic...? Hmm...

You know. I used to have a support mage back home... Wanna try training together? There aren't many beasts, but we could learn to do bounties together. Or even just see if the HoloDeck can simulate enemies for us...?

[liorafae]

That...sounds like a good idea. I've done a bounty before...maybe more than one. What can you do? Do you fight?

And "Holodeck?" What's a "Holodeck?"

[priceofmagic]

I'm a magical girl! I use magic spells for close and ranged combat.

The HoloDeck is like... a science-y thing that lets you practice at full power, without hurting anyone. It's great!

[liorafae]

Spells for close combat? How do you do that? I only know how to throw magic balls at enemies, but I usually have to keep my distance for that...

I'm not good with science-y things. How does it work?

[priceofmagic]

Oh, I use magic ball thingies too! The close ranged spells are all different, but the primary one is the same idea. Instead of shaping the magic into a ball that I throw, I try to shape it into a blade, or use it to coat my fists like a glove~

And it's really neat! It's a big room that contains your power, so that you can't destroy the city. You can practice in all kinds of fake environments, like forests or cities, but they feel completely real.

I kinda wanna use it for a picnic someday.

[liorafae]

Really?

[That actually sounds very similar to what the fighter dragons do with their elemental abilities, though it was never considered "magical." But it's not like Liora can do something like that, even if she tried. And even if she could, there's the risk of being counterattacked by the enemy, and she wouldn't be able to shrug off the hits like a larger dragon would.]

[But then how in the world does Grim do it?]

Can you show me this "Holodeck" sometime?

[priceofmagic]

Yes, definitely! Why don't we go hang out sometime? We can trade moves and get to know one another~!
