=Aftermath for #"A Friendly Dispute"=

The door to the Two Silver opens, the tall and inhumanly thin figure of Strider pauses for a second, before six hands clasp the edges to help with stepping inside. Body of Aetherforged sparks, and whirs, big dent on chest plate gives off arcane energies. Strider quickly finds a table and sits down, for a second they just sit still, like a statue, before many arms begin working with machine-like precision. Four of them remove the chest plate, and start tending to the damage, while two more open a small journal and begin writing.

"Our venture, however suspicious, went relatively well. We managed to retrieve most, unfortunately, of the captives, for some troubles have befallen us.

We managed to reignite some of our magic, auspiciously so, as the spirit of water that was brought to our aid managed to save the life of a luminary, who was heedlessly stabbed by one of our companions. Spirits are still as mischievous as we remember them, wonder if We'll be able to call the rest.

Worth mentioning, there was an unfortunate incident where We set in motion a physical object, that ended hurting another compatriot, who seems like a very promising dabbler of arcane. It wasn't disastrous in consequence, but the incident still left a sour taste, and We should make up for it somehow. At the very least, avoid trying to strain this new body to achieve unpropitious physical tasks."

Rest of the writing muses on Arcane theory

Dear Diary, I'm writing you so I can prove to my parents the outside world isn't as bad as you two have said... I'm sure this is only one instance of people not being nice, and I don't have to fight everyone I meet like you two, so I can have things my way!

Entry #1
I joined a new Guild or Faction named the Two Silvers. It's a new organisation in Bastion and is accepting everyone! Nice! I already have one evidence to prove my family wrong. In there, I overheard a request to investigate another faction, named Luminaries, so I can save people. I'm sure doing that will keep me in people's good graces and make them like me despite me being a Wilder.

Boring parts, skip skip skip. Me and my friends arrived at a lonely building outside of Bastion, and the people who were kidnapped were just escorted into the prison. The Wizard with us was very smart and outsmarted the smart door. Damn, I just realised how smart people on the surface are. If only the sun isn't that prickly on my skin [Random Babbling...]

Back to the topic, we walked in and came face to face with a very special being they called a Sigil. And as their name implies, their weaknesses are also Sigils. They are like smarter golems and much more fancy. Speaking of which, I haven't mentioned how interesting the Luminaries' magic is. I'll write more on them on another day. The Rogue went and erased the Sigil's sigil and caused it to shut down. After that, we all went in deeper. They felt uncomfortable, but I was not affected. Maybe because I don't use or sense magic. [Scribble of Herself Thinking]

Oh yeah, killing people is still bad. Somehow, they hold the same opinion as you, mama. Is it because all five of you are old? Nonetheless, my party members brought him from the brink of death after I accidentally stabbed a dagger near their neck. We then see something not nice, a lady in the prison was complaining about being detained for weeks, like you two always try to do to me, mom and dad. She was forcefully put to sleep by another Sigil as my other party members got into the open room and start having fun. There were explosions, and I remember seeing a cute water otter. Too bad I can't witness the chaos first hand because no one was thinking of how they would leave after making the mess, so I had to do that for them.

I went back to the entrance and played with their large magical stone squares. Pressing them was fun; they make things appear and disappear on a large blank wall. I got it to show me a map, which I was able to read and use. It's so much simpler compared to the mapping of the underground tunnels. If I do come home one day, I'm stealing one of these large blue computers, I believe they call it. It'll be very fun to play with!

Ok, to close this entry off. I did something you would be very happy to hear me do. I blew up the support pillar of the building, and it caused all the protection to shut down. Hip hip hooray! The stone crumbled onto the Sigil like how our dwelling fell on you, dad. I almost mistook the Sigil for you; both of you are ugly. Alright, just know your daughter is having the time of her life and won't be coming back anytime soon!
