Arcanas, Personas, and elements. All quite interesting, isn't it? According to the forecast app, I am a Hanged Man, though such a term means nothing to me, outside of it seeming quite ominous.

What I am truly most interested in are the magical elements given to us. I did speak to our dear RA about such things, but it seems Braphine didn't gift her with much knowledge, merely that these were a potential power within each of us. However, I do find it a little odd that there was "potential" for ice-element magic within me, given who and what I am.

[Anyone who has seen Shalem in action would know that he just... flops over like a dead fish in the cold. Or tries very, very hard not to. It's as if Shalem is just forever doomed to fucking himself up, no matter what Arts he uses.]

I have half a mind to ask Braphine herself for more information, perhaps even attempt to plead her into fixing this as it's become a problem. However, I'm well aware that the key to summoning her lies in a connection with other people. Consider this a request from assistance from your local serpent.

[He's going to invite Shalem to something-- he can tell. Atem isn't slick.

Now... does he play along, or does he make his excuses?]

What do you have in mind?

[Sometimes the best move is to be open about your intentions.]

You mostly eat meat, right? There's a place I've been meaning to try.

[He went snooping around Carnation District a while back.

And, well, everyone really, really likes to eat in their little ragtag group... So it seems like a safe and easy afternoon for the both of them.]
