...therapy doesn't require a license here? That sounds like a terrible idea but convenient. Are there existing practices she could hire on with?

Permalink

No one has super heard of therapy so...probably not? There are, like, business license requirements but they're not specific to therapy, they just mean you have to tell the state what you do and pay your taxes and make them aware of your skills so they can conscript you in an emergency and so on.

Permalink

Oh. Where does one do that and how do freelance types advertise?

Permalink

At the courthouse or a temple of Abadar. People might advertise in newspapers or with posters?

Permalink

Okay. She will look for a temple of Abadar.

Permalink

There are lots of those! They're bigger than the other temples and more gilded.

Permalink

But do they have obvious reception desks, that's the question.

Permalink

They do!

Permalink

Hello, I was told I need to go through the temple for a business license if I want to open a therapeutic practice.

Permalink

You are actually also allowed to go through the courthouse but we can certainly help with that. Do you have money on hand to pay fees?

Permalink

Some, but I don't know how much the fees are.

Permalink

Two gold, or seven weekly payments of two silver if that's easier. I can make it fourteen payments in cases of hardship.

Permalink

I have two gold. I'm not going to be able to fill out forms without help because I don't know the local language.

Permalink

You can also get a Comprehend Languages here, but if you choose not to I can help you when I'm not helping other visitors.

Permalink

Are they expensive?

Permalink

One gold and three silver unless you'd like to join the temple, in which case it's free.

Permalink

I think I'll just wait for your help if that's all right.

Permalink

Of course. 

And she points someone else in the right direction and then talks her through the form.

What is her name and species and is she a magic user and if so of what type?

Permalink

Isabella Mariel Swan. Human. What's the legal definition of a magic user?

Permalink

You must be, with the telepathy? A person who can channel arcane, divine, or less-understood forces to achieve magic.

Permalink

I grew up in a place where the telepathy is considered technically distinct from magic, but if you count it I guess I'm a magic user. The variety is called "subtle arts" where I'm from but there might be a different local name.

I know some arcane magic but for reasons I would rather not explain I am not going to be casting any arcane spells for the foreseeable future.

Permalink

I haven't heard of anyone who can do telepathy without the spell. I'm not an expert on magic, though. I will make a note.

Permalink

I'm also telekinetic through the same mechanism if you need to note that.

Permalink

Better to be thorough, probably. 

God, if any? National origin, if it's not Osirion?

Permalink

None. It's called the Imperium. If you need a more distinguishing name "Magisterian Imperium" is acceptable.
