"These are pretty good! Is the chowder living up to expectations?"

"It's a little weird but I'll finish my helping."

"I guess a lot of shellfish stuff is kind of an acquired taste, yeah. I saw an ice cream place across the street if you want something more guaranteed for dessert."

"I'm sold."

Then they can settle up with the seafood joint and go get some ice cream! Margaret gets a scoop of strawberry cheesecake and a scoop of "chocolate armageddon" (chocolate with chocolate chips and fudge and hunks of brownie).

Chocolate armageddon looks great. One of that and one of butter pecan.

They can eat them at the cute little tables outside. 

"Mmmm. This was a good decision."

"Agreed."

"At some point we'll want to go back to my house and do this week's batch of medallions. And if you have time I can show you my infinite free electricity device, but it isn't done yet."

"Gonna sell to the grid?"

"If I don't need to actually show anyone solar panels in the process of setting it up, maybe. And sell to critters and/or Avalons, and get out of paying electric bills on our school. Some of the cheap and isolated real estate out there doesn't have the most reliable-looking utilities."

"Yeah, though I'd worry more about plumbing than power. I guess it might be as easy for a line to go down as it is for a septic tank to fail unpleasantly but you can have a generator for the first case."

"Yeah. Unfortunately I have no idea how to magic a backup septic tank."

"Yet!"

"I think it depends on whether magic can delete or transfigure matter. It sort of feels like it should be able to; it can apparently make electricity from nothing."

"Huh. Well, my magic can, I put somebody's missing finger back."

"That's really cool. And opens a lot of possibilities. I wonder how many people will have to learn magic before we can do things as fast as we can think of things to do."

"Depends how fast the other people think of things to do."

"Yeah. It might actually be longer if they think of things I wouldn't, or if they think of things they don't want to try but I do."

"Plus there'll be a slowdown as you do less trying things and more teaching."

"Yeah, that too. We should pick out a building and figure out how to get students; I want to be able to start teaching as soon as school lets out."

"We don't have an application process."

"Yeah, that's what I mean by not knowing how to get students. Though now that I think about it we might want to get the facility and curriculum and everything else up first, since once any potential students know we exist they're going to have a bunch of questions."

"I could see the first class having useful input though."

"Hmm, yeah, and I expect we'll want to change things as we go along anyway; the odds we get everything right the first time just going from first principles aren't that high."
