This isn't something that I typically find myself asking or even thinking about, to be honest.
But I suppose I'm of age now, and "of age" is a somewhat irrelevant concept when the countries and laws we come from no longer exist, isn't it?

With that said:

In our current circumstance, where might one find an alcoholic drink?

[earthy]

it might not be available here in Nadril but it seems like you can always count on Roman
whenever we're allowed to go back to the Station, that is
what kind of food is it, exactly?

[fiendennor]

Well, it's... breads, cheese, some pastries, vegetables...
I honestly can't think of a way to describe it that doesn't sound completely generic.
We've adopted cuisines from all over the world, but my country itself just seems to have the foods everyone else's does.

[earthy]

what's your very favorite out of all of them, then?
like say for a snack
a certain fruit or pastry?
i know a lot of people like sweets

[fiendennor]

Something that goes well with tea. Perhaps a semi-sweet scone?

Why are you asking about cuisine?

[earthy]

trying to figure out some way to help
i might be able to find something in Nadril like a scone
if you tell me what a scone is?
they've got people and machines from all different worlds here
maybe there's a place with food from different worlds, too

[But a moment later-]

and if i'm completely honest i'm pretty bored right now
Nadril's not really my cup of tea

[fiendennor]

That's understandable. That you'd be bored, I mean. There's not a lot to do here, is there?
It's just seems to be an odd thing to ask about, but I can't really judge.

A scone is a type of bread or pastry, I suppose. It's like a slightly sweet biscuit; you can spread jam or butter on top of it if you want a richer flavor.

[earthy]

not a lot i'm interested in
doesn't help that i can't seem to get Wyver and Olympia off my mind, you know?
i hope the Natha can get rid of Ysverai soon and we can go back
finish cleaning everything up, help out the survivors

i guess the subject's a little odd, all things considered
but who doesn't like food, right?

scones sound kind of good, as long as they're not too sweet
i'll head out and check around for anything like that
i'm Terra, by the way

[fiendennor]

Diana Cavendish. A pleasure.

I suppose I can understand your malaise. It is frustrating to not be able to do anything about the mess we've been forced to leave behind.

Did you fight the dragon?

[earthy]

nice to make your acquaintance, too, Diana Cavendish

i did fight the dragon
or i tried to, anyway
not sure it did any good
what about you?

[fiendennor]

Just Diana is fine.

I was more preoccupied with helping with the evacuation.
My magic is versatile and useful, but I don't think it would have done much to something that size.

[earthy]

i don't know if anyone could have done anything against power and darkness like that

[Which is, frankly, incredibly disheartening, but anyway.]

are you a mage?

[fiendennor]

With the tools available to us... no, perhaps not.
I'm a witch, yes.

[earthy]

like with a pointy hat and a broom?

[fiendennor]

Yes, actually.
Though the hat is only part of my formal school uniform. I don't usually wear it.

[earthy]

i see. was that a school for witches or a school for becoming a witch?

[fiendennor]

Primarily the first. Most people who attended Luna Nova grew up in magical families, so knew the basics already.

But it was the second for at least one person.

[The one she's currently missing.]

[earthy]

which were you?

[fiendennor]

The first. My family is a long line of witches.

[The oldest in England, actually.]
