[Private to Yurippe.]

I'd like to hear more about your plans concerning sending a message to the Malnosso? I've tested my powers extensively [Between naps.] and they are greatly reduced. Regardless, if I can help, I will. I just need to know what direction you're taking.

[/]

[Private to Pascal.]

It's amazing the difference a little rest makes. [She looks much better. There is more color on her cheeks, her wounds are either healed or healing and her hair has been Charmed so the frizziness is gone.]

Have you explored the village? If not, I think we should start there and then branch out into the less obvious attributes of Luceti.

[/]

[Private to Luke Skywalker.]

Thank you again for coming to get me. If I can ever return the favor, please let me know?

[/]

I wasn't sure about this place when I first arrived, but it is proving to be quite fascinating. I almost don't mind losing some of my abilities [Or, rather, the intensity of them.] in order to meet those I never thought I would [More like: "could meet".].

If Luceti really is located in another dimension, it makes me wonder how many other dimensions there might be. Of course visiting them and keeping a tally would probably be a nightmare, but it is interesting to think about.

[She is slowly braiding her hair, sitting cross-legged in a chair. Over-all, she looks much better than she had on her arrival.]

For those I haven't met, my name is Hermione Granger. [A faint smile crosses her lips.]

I heard that some residents were foolishly trying to remove their wings. [And dying horribly most likely.] I was curious if anyone had survived that endeavor.

I'm not sure what I will do with mine. It's almost easier to just ignore them.

So we're both older. [That must be strange.] Shall we start over?

I will too once I've familiarized myself with the village's layout. [The war taught her to search for exits in case all goes to hell.] I look forward to seeing you there, Hiccup.

I...do. I'm a Witch. I just wondered if that was normal in Luceti.

[Oh. A towel. That's...

Only slightly better than being naked.]

I hope these towels are substantial.

[ Swimsuits might be allowed in the Luceti hot spring, but Yuri doesn't actually know the exact rules here. Sorry Hermione. ]

The men and women's areas are separate, don't worry. It doesn't look like there's anyone really here anyway. And if you're that worried I've got some weapons on me to take care of anyone peeking.

[ Even though there's not a single weapon in sight right now. Yuri heads toward the changing rooms. ]

[It wouldn't matter. She doesn't have one.]

...I can take care of any perverts myself. [Even powered down, her spells still have a bite to them.] Hopefully that won't be necessary.

[She follows Yuri into the changing rooms and fights back her bashfulness as she undresses. Since she isn't willing to take any chances, she stuffs her clothes into a bag that she picked up at the clothing shop before wrapping herself in a towel.

She is NOT walking back to her apartment naked.]

Yuri?

[ Spells are probably nicer than weapons. Yuri puts her clothes in one of the baskets, not particularly worried about it. If anyone steals them, it's pretty much an excuse to fuck them up. By the time Hermione call her, she's got a towel around herself too. In her hand, she's got a knife. She's not going to take it into the bath, but having something within reach is kind of a necessity for her. ]

Ready. You?

Must there be? I don't think making us into...mutants necessarily requires a book.

Yeah. All four seasons here. You might want to be careful when winter comes too, because we had a couple of nasty storms this year.

So you're a Witch, huh? [He grins--she was yet another that he had met.] The power dampening is a common complaint, but people manage to get around it. There are spirits here who can help with that if you ever want to learn from them...

There's also a little club starting up for people who use magic. It's the brainchild of a really tall wizard called Harry Dresden, if you want to look him up. The first meeting should be sometime in the next few weeks too, so you can drop on in. I don't think Dresden will mind party crashers.

Thank you, I may just do that. The library, by the way, is that building over there.

[He points to another visible building]

I spent a fair bit of time there myself.

It doesn't seem particularly uncommon to have some sort of ability beyond the scope of what the average human can do here, even if I'm not sure if everyone would consider their abilities to be magic.

[...Ah. Something did happen once, a few years ago. And she's got a good point there.]

Well, I dunno if I'm clever enough to make up a code. Besides, it's no big secret or anything.

I-I'll look forward to it, too! [Even if she doesn't remember, it'll be nice to see a familiar face and get to know her again.] See you, Hermione.

Of course not. Granted, those that had wanted to try on their own have hardly spoken up about any of those efforts. I've dealt with enough evidence to know what's possible or isn't.

Once you get used to them, you can sometimes forget that they're there. The time to be most cautious about them is when we're sent outside the village on missions, or drafts.

[Seeing as the clothing shop was one of the first places Pascal went to when she showed up it doesn't take her long to find her way back there.]

Hey-o Hermione! Special delivery, one super map, just for you!

[Voila! She runs forward to Hermione whilst holding the map out with both hands.]

-Sure, whatever! I'm Haruhi Suzumiya.

I could help you if you like. Runes are useful when it comes to keeping secrets.

Then again if it's not that important then I wouldn't suggest taking on Runes just to conceal it. [She smiles sheepishly.] Though I might do it anyway for the practice.

I think so. [That's the best Yuri is going to get out of her. She is completely out of her comfort zone.

Stepping out of the changing rooms, she glances at Yuri and follows her lead.]

I see you like to be prepared at all times.

I find it hard to believe that no one would have wanted to record their progress.

[She is so drawn by the appearance of the library that she nearly takes a step towards it. Her mind is filled with the possibilities of what such a building might contain and what she might learn from it.]

What have you found so far?

[Laughing softly, Hermione reaches for the map and examines it closely.]

Thank you. [It's nice to know the layout of the city. At least now she won't be wandering around aimlessly.]

I've been thinking...

Perhaps we should start in the middle of the city and fan out until we reach the perimeter...

I know the best way to deal with storms: don't enter them in the first place. [A storm was the perfect weather for holing up in a library with a pile of books.]

I am. [She nods to herself, humming.] I spoke to someone about that. She was trying to locate one spirit in particular.

[Hermione already has several ideas for that club, which she will gladly share with Harry - and anyone else.]

I was in charge of a similar club for several years. We used it to teach fellow Witches and Wizards how to best defend themselves in duels and dangerous situations. I'd like to speak to Harry about incorporating some of that into his club.

Do the Malnosso send people on missions often? Do you have a choice whether or not you fulfill them?

[She thinks she already knows the answer to that. The Malnosso do not seem like the type that take no for an answer.]

Hello, Haruhi. I assume you're from Japan?
