[Scout speaks briskly. She's familiar with networks, at least the voice-only kind, but always feels awkward trying to start a conversation like this.]

I was assigned 'Warlock' by... whatever assigned these things for us. I know a lot about what that meant on another world, less about what it means here. Hopefully here - I mean, I don't like being bound to something without knowing much about it.

[She coughs. Moving on.] So I've had a very vivid dream about what I assume is my patron here. She's some kind of fae, and... really excited about the other fae I've had experience with. Is this happening to anyone else?

[How warlocks know about their patrons and exactly what the patrons are like is up to players! One possibility is they're contacted in dreams.]

Huh. [Scout doesn't fully understand capitalism so that sounds like a terrible fate to her.] Well, if you're happy with it, I guess?

It makes sense. Something that's basically omniscient in one reality, or several, is usually weaker in others, but there are only a few that can manage to... uh... force something from outside to fit all the way. And even then it may not really stick.

[She is speaking from experience.]

It's what I'm best in. The Saints know that I'm not the best in combat.

[ that was what laura excelled in when not leading the team, so-

lorem opts to refocus her attention to her current conversation. for her sake and for the sake what's being discussed is simply fascinating. ]

That could be why your- [ what's that word again? ] -patron is fascinated with you. You provide new insight in something that they don't know before, a novelty and a newness that they could either like or dislike. Either way, you certainly grabbed their attention.

[ but is that a good thing or a bad thing? hard to say at the moment. ]

[stillwinningthehardway]

It makes sense. I mean, some of it was because I worked for a bigger fae lord from back before this, and some of the celebrity rubbed off on me, apparently.

[Technically, Scout is a changeling, and archfey can pick up on that.]

She seemed very excited about that. But if this is a reality without easy travel to others, I wouldn't be surprised if, uh, migrants are especially interesting.
