( Aqua decides to keep this short and sweet. It's obvious by now that she isn't returning home any time soon. However, when the time does come for her to leave as others have, she wants to be prepared for it. )

Good evening.

I was wondering if anyone here may have been looking for a sparring partner -- or, if anyone has one, if they wouldn't mind someone else to practice with. My strength is in my magic, if that's something that others want to consider.

Furthermore, I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this world that hasn't been recorded in any of the books here. The more that we know, the better chance that we may be able to solve the mystery of how we can all return home.

... And, finally... I was wondering if there were any places in particular away from the town that others enjoy visiting. Any place that seems peaceful would be wonderful.

Thank you in advance.

- Aqua.

I've been looking for an opportunity to learn more practical kinds of magic ever since my last source, er. Broke. The wonderkind portals were not kind to it. If nothing else, I'd like to observe while you practice.

If you know anything about swordfighting, I would also appreciate a pointer or two. My last teacher... left before I could learn anything beyond the basics, and with the tournament coming up, I'd rather not embarrass myself in front of everyone after I've already signed up for the armed division...

I'm not exactly someone experienced in teaching someone how to use magic - especially the kind that originated here, but I'd be happy to help in whatever way I can. However... what do you mean by broke?

( Were they injured? Or, was it something far more grave than that? )

I've never used a sword, but it may not be quite so different than the current weapon I've used. If it helps, I've found that one of your best weapon doesn't necessarily have to be a physical weapon either.

The magic's focus was a large red crystal, it acted like a learning aid to help me cast and refine the red magic. You could think of it like a spellbook, I suppose.

...unfortunately, when the wonderkind portals opened, a monster from another world slithered through and, er.

Ate it.

Or, well, its magic. Then it ate the crystal itself because it thought it was tasty.

And unfortunately, my mentor returned to the sea not long after that, so I couldn't ask for help in replacing it or finding an alternative method. So I'm at something of a loss.

Though color me curious, what do you mean by "not necessarily a physical weapon?"

[lightblooming]

... I see. I've heard only stories about the monsters, but their strength is something I know shouldn't be underestimated. I'm glad that you weren't hurt.

Out of curiosity, is there some source of magic in your world? If there is, that may be the best way to go about relearning. I've always heard that different blood types mean different abilities given to use by this world, too.

( She'll isn't ignoring her other question, mind you -- one thing at a time. )

[forwantofahorse]

It was one that arrived from a different world, but that point still stands. Don't underestimate any of the Beasts, no matter how competent you were in your own world.

And

It's complicated.

[WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP ON ASKING HER THIS QUESTION ESPECIALLY AS THE ANSWER GETS MORE COMPLEX]

The easiest way I can summarize is, "yes, but none of it came with me." I do know for sure that applying similar methods that I used magic back home can bring results to learning other magic systems here.

[lightblooming]

In a fight, underestimating any opponent can be a fatal mistake.

... I see. That's unfortunate to hear, but... it sounds almost as though you have a knack for your abilities here. May I ask what your blood type happens to be here?
