Idle curiosity, but who here has taken it upon themselves to learn any new skills since they've showed up here?

I've been teaching myself to cook, but I really consider that more of a practical thing and less something that I picked up for the sake of learning, you know?

The thought crossed my mind to learn another language, but we all kind of did that already, didn't we? I suppose I could teach someone instead, but if you want to take me up on the offer, there's sadly not enough orcs here for you to practice with.

It's definitely pretty handy, even outside of combat!

I used Hi magic up in Sapporo to keep myself warm, so I didn't have to wear bulky clothes while hiking out in the snow. But you can also use it to cool someone down if they have a fever, or even just instantly chill a drink without using ice cubes.

That *does* sound useful.

I've mostly been sticking with the magic I knew from my own world, but even that has its limits.

Have you thought about trying to combine them?

The magic here comes in so many different forms, it wasn't too hard to find a way to combine it with what I already know. But I guess that still depends on what the magic itself is like.

[jasidian]

I haven't, actually.

Well. Food for thought, I suppose. I've been trying to find more ways I could be helpful to the other refugees here.

Sounds like a pretty noble goal.

I'd say anything that can benefit new arrivals might be a good place to start? I know I've been making a habit of talking to any I meet about what life is like here, so they aren't caught off-guard by anything. I don't know if it makes a huge difference, but I'd like to think it helps a little.
