Did you get any sleep, Shady?

Some. Up at 2:20ish but just got some water and back to sleep which was wonderful.

Ooo rough but glad you got some

Yeah, enough for the day I think. Gym tonight, hopefully yoga-out this tight lumbar I've got.

I am still going to be slowish because of my writing but I'll be in the home stretch

oof

Here's a few lines that let you know the writer (me) is just going to torment a character soon

"Be likable," Her mother told her, "And people will like you. That's how it works."
And Richelle had taken the lesson to heart. She had always been a pretty girl, and was well on her way to becoming a beautiful woman. She had learned there was no problem that couldn't be fixed if you could just find the right person to help!

uh oh

Yup. I'm actually feeling a bit guilty for the shit I'm putting her through.

oh, but it can be fun!

Honestly, Dagmar got in LESS trouble than I anticipated with that botch...

I couldn't act like Masey was utterly helpless but yes 😉

I do enjoy trouble!

I shall try to get you in more trouble, but you must not fuss if the trouble gets out of hand and kills EVERYONE in a horrible blazing inferno of doom!

okay if it kills everyone maybe some fussing would be allowed

heh

in a zoom meeting for another 20

NP

Pizza arrived

Last thousand!

I'm going with a look for the Great School of wizardry, the rest of the city it is in is semi neo classical? Think DC (The place is the capital for the country) but the Great School I'm thinking instead of pale hues, something darker.. can't decide between black stone or a kind of deep red with viens. Gothic? Or is that too abrupt a switch?

mmm

so, a white city?

school is older than the city?

Actually it's a young city.. sec

In such shelter and access to trade three grand cities had arisen: Talaman, Cannover, and Degraunt. Talaman was believed by many to be the oldest, the oldest still standing anyway. Cannover disputed this, of course, smug in it's confidence as a sea power rather than 'merely' a river city. No one argued that Degraunt was the youngest of the three. It been intentionally made so a mere three centuries ago as a more neutral location to hold the center of political power and be where the High Council could meet.
The endeavor by then First Minister Degraunt had nearly fallen on it's face and likely would have if not for the building of the great school for the arcane or 'Great school of wizardry' as some called it. More than any other institution, it was the School that gave legitimacy to the youngest city as the new center of power in Nantys, politically, and litterally. Initially, it was the capital buildings of the government seat that were meant to be the center of the city, but such was the pull of the school as it grew in demand, that was meant to be something of an oval city had become a figure eight, or even an infinity symbol. The government seat dominating the eastern side of the city, and the great school the nexus of it's western half.
It had worked well for the most part. The distance had allowed at least the illusion that the school was not a political body, and there was supposed to be a certain egalitarian aspect that any noble's son, any aristocrat's daughter, might have an equal chance to excell in the study of the occult and arcane classes here. Even one of a lesser family might rise. The actual execution of this great experiment was highly flawed, and often failed, but the effort was sincere. Well, as sincere as the great houses ever could be. Politics would still infuse into everything.

Ok, so NEW school
