Deer Country Network

[His transmission is short. He sits at home, holding his Omni up in front of him while his fox omen sits in his lap, curled up. Possibly one of the few times it wasn't causing all sorts of chaos.]

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured there would be at least a handful of you who would like to know.

[He pauses for only a moment.]

If you knew Manabu Yuuki, he was killed. I imagine he won't be back for at least a few weeks or so. His corruption had gotten the better of him, so I made sure his death was quick and painless.

I have a question for the others who arrived in this place already possessing magic: do you find yourselves using our new blood-powers often? Or do you find yourself ignoring them in favor of the magic you had when you arrived here?

My understanding is that I am a Paleblood, and that I have the ability to walk through dreams and create visions if I wish.

And yet I have magic of my own, and I have relied on it so long -- and even taught it to others, in my past life -- that it feels unnatural to learn such tricks now.

Perhaps I am the only one who feels this way. But I am curious to know all the same.

Okay, so: I probably should have asked this earlier, but I was hoping maybe this place wouldn't have the same share of monsters as Deerington did. Dumb optimism, I know, but a girl can dream.

Anyway: now that we've got ghosts and horsemen and shit floating around, I want to propose the idea of fight training. I did a little of that with F.E.A.R. back in Deerington, and I'm down to do it again here, too. I'm happy to train but I'm also just as happy to spar with anyone willing to go a round or two.

Mainly, I want to get a handle on this blood magic stuff, what its limitations are, how to use it to its full potential, how to not set my own apartment on fire, that kind of stuff. And, preferably, I'd like to learn it when I'm not about get flayed alive, so anyone who's interested, let me know.
