Please help me understand this.

Is it actually legally forbidden for humans to enter Everglade, or is it just likely to get them killed?

I would hate to be disrespectful. [ But nobody has tried to kill him in weeks and it's getting weird. ]

Just more likely to get you killed, likely by something not human.

Please be careful. I was tricked into staying here for a little while, but I got lucky since the person who tricked me granted me some temporary immunity to the troublemakers around here. I think that resistance is gone now, so...

I did try to perfect that resistance into a warding charm, though.

as someone else said it's just more dangerous

that can be a fun thing, though

its not forbidden
theyre just not legally responsible for you if you happen to get jumped by a werewolf
but if you then become a werewolf bc you got bit i guess then youre eligible to sue???

No, what the hell? I work there, I'm there all the time. Never had a problem.

[captain_by_the_book]

I wouldn't be able to do that. There is nothing magical about me, I'm as boring old human as they come.

I'm just very good at not getting killed.

Are you safe now?

[captain_by_the_book]

I agree. I'm looking for someplace a little bit livelier than what I have seen so far.

[captain_by_the_book]

I don't know if I'm interested enough in legal matters to be comforted by that.

But what if you fight off the werewolf and kill it?

He's entertained. He never deals with the legal outcome of actions.

[captain_by_the_book]

Interesting. Are you human? I kept hearing it's a terrible place for humans, but it doesn't seem so bad.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Yes I am. I moved out a month ago. I still own a shop there, and have a few charms I sell for protection and convenience.

[yourotherleft]

Completely human, yep. No powers or nothin'. The only difference between me and anyone else is that I'm not afraid of shitty rumors. Or of defending myself.

[captain_by_the_book]

Yes, it sounds like that's necessary to survive there. But it's a necessary skill on most worlds I've been to.

[captain_by_the_book]

Maybe I'll visit your shop when I take a look at the town then. I know nothing about charms. Magic isn't common where I'm from.

[yourotherleft]

Survival's just a matter of wanting to. But I get ya. Everglade's not the kind of place for people who want to live boring civilian lives with no adventure ever.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I'll keep that in mind! Many of my charms come with some good instructions on how to use them. Most of the protective stuff doesn't need your own magic source either so it should be easy to use!

[k2so]

It's not forbidden but it's dangerous. Like walking around Fest knowing there might be Ewoks around.

[captain_by_the_book]

I think there's more to that, it's also luck. Not everybody has the chance to learn to fight before trying gets them killed. You have to meet the right people at the right time.

[captain_by_the_book]

There is nothing wrong with Fest.

[ Sigh. ]

[captain_by_the_book]

It's worth a try. I won't scoff at a weapon just because it's unfamiliar, or outside my realm of understanding. I'm trying to grasp the new dangers of this world, but it's slow-going.

At home most enemies can be killed with a blaster, if it's big enough.

[k2so]

About time you admitted you like the kitten.

[Sorry Cassian, you walked right into that one and Kay is not sorry.]

[black_black_heart]

yeah I get that

I go through there regularly, sometimes I go on foot and hide the one bit that makes me look like I might not be totally human

[Because physically, he is a human until he drops the Wyrd. The pointy ears make some wonder, though.]

then it's a nice pleasant walk with a chance of showers ass-kicking

[captain_by_the_book]

I don't

Okay. I deserved that.

[ Normally he would be grumpier, but... eating humble pie here. ]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian's brows go up at that in surprise and faint amusement. ]

That's peculiar. I think most people would want to look non-human in a place like that.

Going around trying to look like a tasty meal is an unusual hobby. Not that I'm judging.

[k2so]

Why not? It's because she bite you?

[Do you know for how long Kay had wanted to make that terrible joke? Far too much. But the lack of grumpiness is concerning.]

Are you alright?

[captain_by_the_book]

I don't want to talk like this.

[black_black_heart]

well, I've never claimed to be particularly sane

it makes for some interesting... conversations

[Gotta stay in shape somehow, right?]
