darlit I just want to say this is a super fun thing we're doing and thank you for putting it on

@Balance

No problem! I genuinely enjoy thinking up and creating worlds, even if it is just somewhat on the fly.

I wasn't going to tell anyone.

@Host

Zel: Even if ya never do, knowledge unknown is knowledge kept secret. And as small as it is, I'd like to keep the number of tests secret for now.

<Snipped quote by Host>

I've heard it's really hard to count.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*Looks around at the town*

@Balance

*There's a large, important looking building to your left, some somewhat smaller buildings to your right, and down the path in front of us is what looks to be the town's center, with a circular pool of water in the middle of it.*

Zel: The way, the stories you two are talkin' about sound pretty darn confusin' and whatnot. People runnin' some kinda system only tuh be kicked out and replaced with a machine sounds pretty weird.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Balance>

That doesn't make it new.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Are there a lot of tests?

@Host

Zel: Most I can tell ya is maybe, since I'm trying tuh make sure there isn't much known about them.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Right, right. It was fun, though.

@Balance

Zel: Glad tuh hear, I was hoping tuh make it that way. *Turns left about halfway down the path to the mines, taking us into the town.*

How many students are supposed to fail versus pass?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

Do you have a system to find them?

@Host

Zel: *Looks surprised.* It's just tuh check that they've mastered the necessary skills. They're all supposed tuh pass at some point, so I'm not concerned with how many do so. Besides, it's not the only test they'll have.

<Snipped quote by Host>

All kinds of places, all over Existence.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Oops. And oops again. My excuse is that it was dark.

@Balance

Zel: That's fine, I'll get them apart eventually. And I managed tub notice it before bed, so I doubt any of the apprentices saw it.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

What percent are supposed to pass?

@Host

Zel: I don't quite know what yur askin'...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*Follows*
It wasn't me.

@Host

Zel: Alright. Just need to check since it's supposed to be a test.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

That may or may not have been me. Some of the parts fit together, so I thought it was a puzzle.

@Balance

Zel: It is, but it was primarily going to be one of the tests the apprentices are supposed to pass on to check their spatial skills. Also your carving isn't half bad, but I can tell you didn't check the diagrams for the parts since some of them are now stuck.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Sure. I'm ready as soon as you are.

@Host

Zel: Just waitin' on green boy here.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

I'm always ready to move. My brain just doesn't think so. *Exits the door* Lead the way.

@Balance

Zel: Alright then, follow me. *Makes my way out of the guild and walks parallel to the mountain. Once we're clear of people I start talking.* I noticed that someone completed the little test I was makin'. Would it happen tuh have been one of you guys?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

You're right, he did.

@Host

Zel: Yup. I hope yur both ready tuh move.

<Snipped quote by Host>

I've tried. The only thing that mitigates the symptoms at all is pain.

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*Gets up and starts stretching* Yeah, you're right. Okay, I won't waste anyone's time. *Walls over to the door and opens it up*

@Balance

Zel: *Is standing on the other side, clearly a small bit tired myself, but ready to work.*
I've also got some things I need tuh discuss with ya on the way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

Yep.

@Host

<Snipped quote by Stabby>

*Rubs my eyes and groans* I'm super not up. Somebody punch me.

@Balance

Zel: If yur awake enough to groan, you're awake enough to move. Ya said ya wanted to go out with our hunters right?

*Lies on my side and goes to sleep*

@Balance

<Snipped quote by Balance>

*Continues to scroll through Twitter*

@Host

*Early the next day, there's a knock on the room's door.*
Zel: Ya guys up?
