Good morning. I've recently arrived in Riverview - my name is Mordred.

Suggestions are both welcome and encouraged as I learn my way around this lovely city. So is advice. [Although that could be such a bad idea. It's fine. He's accepted his choices.] In the meantime, I'll be fulfilling a position with Gramarye Magic Research.

Those of you that use magic yourselves, I sincerely hope our paths will cross while I'm here.

[And boy does he ever mean it.]

Advice like don't go past the perimeter wall calling, "Here, monster, monster, monster, monster?"

[She's so helpful.]

If you want recommendations for restaurants, delivery, and bars, I can probably give you a few depending on your preferences. A couple of them are even close to Gramarye.

[eternalmagic]

Good thing you said something.

I do, thank you. What about your favorites?

[inlaid]

I would have never forgiven myself if you'd walked out there like monster bait. ;)

And yes, some of these are my favorites. The Black Hollow by Gramarye's pretty good for a bar if you like more of a classic style. Hardwood interior, dart boards and great beer on tap. Not bad for mixed drinks too if that's your style. Unless you're more for some place upscale?

[eternalmagic]

I would have deserved anything that happened to me.

Wonderful. I prefer what turns out to be worth it, so I've got a bit of exploring to do.

[Not that something called 'The Black Hollow' doesn't have the potential to be right up his alley.]

What sort of upscale?

[inlaid]

Casual-chic dresscode, dim lighting with modern interiors, loud music and tight dance floors. Bar/club might be a better description. Runs heavier to cocktails and trendy finger foods than beers and bowls of peanuts.

Novikov is pretty decent for not having turned into a meat-market yet. Hawksmoore isn't bad either. Quieter and better drinks, but also pricier for it. What do you usually go for?

[eternalmagic]

Sounds like I have a lot of options. I'm partial to low light and private corners myself, but there's plenty to be said for variety. A good drink is really the most important part.

I use magic but I call it materia. What do you use?

[eternalmagic]

My hands, mostly. I've never heard of materia before. [EXCITING.]

[thegreatninja]

[She's rolling her eyes at her phone.]

I meant where is your magic source. Materia is cultivated from Gaia. My home world.

[eternalmagic]

My magic comes from me. But being attuned to the natural energy of the world does tend to enhance it quite a bit.

You have materia with you here?

[thegreatninja]

I do but it's mine.
I can show it to you but you can't have it.

[inlaid]

Can't go wrong with any of those then, though I find the Black Hollow's the best when you just want to drop in somewhere.

As for restaurants I've got a list I could send to your inbox.

[So he doesn't think she's a lush.]

Seen anything interesting since you arrived??

[eternalmagic]

I don't want it.

[This is a little bit of a lie, or will end up being one. But he's not a thief unlike some people in this conversation.]

But I would love to see it. Demonstrated, especially.

[thegreatninja]

[She is the cutest thief that he'll ever meet.]

I can demonstrate. Just name the when and where.

[eternalmagic]

At your leisure, but know that I'll be very grateful.

[He gives the following question some thought.]

Everything. Everything is interesting. Especially beyond the wall -- what I can see of it.

[eternalmagic]

Well now, I'm still learning my way around this unfamiliar city. Do you need space to demonstrate with materia?

[thegreatninja]

Depends which materia. Usually... no. A room would be fine.

[inlaid]

How grateful? ;)

[Sorry, not sorry. She's got eyes and is appreciative of people with confidence.]

It's part of my job to go beyond the wall, I'm out there often enough. If you ever need a guide all you have to do is drop me a line. It's always easy to take others who have the ability to hold their own out there.

[eternalmagic]

Depends on how good your suggestions are.

As a matter of fact, I noticed plenty of interesting flora out there that we weren't collecting at the time. Thought I might wander back out for a second look.

[eternalmagic]

How about outdoors, in that case? Should you be inspired to up your game.

[thegreatninja]

Sure! Find a good bit of space and I'll see if I can impress you.

[eternalmagic]

I'm sure you can. And I noticed a space without much in the way of traffic, along the northwest bank of the river near the portal.

Or would you prefer a bigger audience?

[thegreatninja]

Nah. Just you and me. Plus I know where you're talking about.

[dothelokimotion]

Ah, so you are our new arrival.

[inlaid]

Fair enough. I'll put my best rec at the top of my list. Try it sometime and get back to me, okay?

That's easy enough. My next foray is more of an exploratory thing. If you don't mind riding in a sidecar we can take my bike down some of the rougher roads. They're overgrown but definitely still alright to traverse.
