Two girls are moving their hands through the air and speaking together in perfect parallel.
Two girls are looking expectantly at a circle of red chalk on their floor.
Two girls have done something exceptionally stupid.
Nick in Elcenia
<I'll find it myself. I was planning to wander the city for a while anyway.>
So he walks to the city, writes down the street where he arrives at the sudden wall of buildings, and takes random turns.

There are quite a lot of things in this city. The residential areas have very tall houses organized in circles around shared lawns; the commercial areas, interspersed at intervals of easy walking distance around and between the residential sections and much more grid-organized, have groceries and theaters and bookshops and commercial casting outfits and public lights and charity offices and newspaper stands and calligraphers and witch shops with shelves of potions. Plant nurseries and scoot repairs and the central international temple of the most divine Kovin and furniture stores and restaurants and a music school and - there's a bank. Espaal United Financial.
On the way to the bank he buys a newspaper. He reads it while waiting in line. When the tellers are ready for him,
"I was told that I've been given an expense account with, uh Binaarlev Academy. I'd like to get a credit stamp for it."
"I was told that I've been given an expense account with, uh Binaarlev Academy. I'd like to get a credit stamp for it."
"Apparently. The wizard school. Keo and Kanaat run it. If you couldn't tell, I'm under a translation spell."
"My pronunciation of foreign names isn't the best. 'Nikolas' is easy enough, but, uh - Satress? Asteriss?"
"That, uh, vowel, doesn't work in Leraal, although we can represent it with a combination if you have one you like. Uh, I can put a sed and a ten together without anything first if you want me to, though. S'teriss?" she attempts.
She writes this down. "The primary Binaaralav account holder has authorized a supervised draw expense account for you, which means that he'll be able to look at whatever you're spending money on but the stamp will be on you. Do you want to receive your stamp now?"
And she picks up a wooden octagonal prism, taps it to where she's been writing her notes, and then taps his hand. "You're all set."
Rathadaar Kerik is starring in "Salute the Night". Noted advocacy charity Voices for All is spinning off a division to be its own organization, called Voices from Afar, specializing in immigrant and tourist issues. Pineapples are going to be expensive this year because of an Egerian blight. Someone tried to burn down a Sand Dusk Chanter temple but the fire mages on call stopped them and brought them into custody. The wards have been re-installed over Paraasilan and the old ones decommissioned; there is more space to the south and west for any would-be developers and the land is going fast, mostly to residential builders. Pleia's war with Mekand is going well for Mekand (yay). The national convention of witches and witch suppliers will be held in Mifaar this year.
