Don't expect much posting or RP from me today, anywhere. My boss is basically screwing me over again and I have a very long day ahead of me.

Go ahead and auto Grifen if it gets to that point in the plan.

Will we also gain support ranks, or will the timeskip not be long enough to justify that sort of thing?

A blink. Then:

: "...OH. That's what ya meant by strength."

: "Heh! Sorry fer snappin' at ya. I thought ya meant just gettin' bigger muscles or somethin'. Guess I'm still a bit ruffled from the fight."

: "Mind, I still ain't sure if that's where ya can be the most help, on the front and all. But ya think that's the best way to be a hero, then you should give it yer all!"

: "Um. Well..."

: "I dunno! It's yer dream, not mine. Yer goals. I don'r know what they are and right now I don't much care. Let's say ya can't get stronger, fer whatever reason. Will ya just give up? Or will ya figure somethin' out and make it work with the things yer good at?"

Taken by an impulse she couldn't explain, Grifen grabbed the end of her left sleeve in her right hand and pulled the sleeve back. Her revealed left elbow was scarred and twisted, bumpy with mis-formed bones.

: "I wanted to be a strong archer and defend people like my pa, but then this happened. Now I can barely pull a normal bow at all, and those huge bows Efa uses would snap this stupid thing like a twig! D'ya think I just gave up? Heck no! I had Uncle Rufus teach me how to use crossbows instead, and even though it ain't nearly the same thing it lets me help my friends! I'll never be a strong archer, but as long as I can be brave I'll still make my pa proud." She let the sleeve fall back into place.

: "So you know more about pickin' locks or stealin' gold or whatever than I do. So tell me: how can those things help make yer dreams come true? Use that brain of yers and figure it out."

Grifen winced at that.

: "Oh. Oh jeeze, I'm sorry. That musta been hard." She started to turn away, but then was apparently struck with an idea and turned back.

: "Maybe...have ya considered tryin' to change the world another way? I mean, there's always gonna be someone stronger than ya, so why not make yer dream come true by doin' what yer good at? Somethin' that maybe other folks can't do?"

: "I'm...sorry, no. I don't know any magic at all yet, and I only know how to make medicine. Maybe there's some sorta potion to make people stronger but I don't know it. Sorry..."

What's it called if two people become friends (no expectation of sex, love, etc) and only later does one develop romantic feelings towards the other while the other doesn't share those feelings?

An unrequited crush. Also, painful.

Very :c

Yes, you should do that. I assume we'll have a bit of time before the next map (shopping AT THE VERY LEAST), but why wait until the last moment?
