"It's magical armor! You're supposed to say the counter-charm phrase!" Felix says. He marches down the stairs, and you soon hear a few more snippets of him arguing with Savarian.

"Look, this is all supposed to be in the help files in the Codex..."

"What? No, I *don't* know what Princess Star White set it to, she didn't tell me... "

"Because it would be bloody silly to tell someone, even someone as trusted as your personal valet, the phrase that would make your armor magically vanish, that's why! What if someone said it in the middle of combat?"

"Ok, ok, tell the armor you want to reset the charm phrases. When it asks what your first pet was named, it was Mr. Fwibbles. What? No, I know that wasn't your first pet, that was Princess Star White's. Also, say your father's bachelor-name was Chartreuse."

"Look, *I* didn't make up the rules for what constitutes as a 'strong charm phrase', the bloody Information-Mage Department did, just come up with something appropriately heroic sounding."

You also hear some snippets from Savarian "Oh yes i will just use my magic to divine that information OH WAIT."

"Should you not know it, you are her adviser."

"WHY DONT YOU KNOW IT"

"Oh yes, the possibility of you randomly saying a probably complex phrase while ms. star white is in the middle of combat is vastly more likely then the possibility of needing to get the armor off without ms. star white being able to help. You know like at this very moment."

"That is not my first pets name. How is knowing this two pieces of very divinable information the requirement to change the counter-charm. I should not be complaining but come on, even the trolls magic vaults has more protection than this. I suppose after my string of terriable luck i so just take it and not tempt fate. Also it says i need a 'strong charm phrase'. What in the abyss is a 'strong charm phrase'?"

"Fine. I will just use the incantation for mage armor. Ahem (automatically translated from elvish) 'Come to me armor of power, to protect me and defend me against those with might of arms'. Wait i have to say it again? Whyyyy?"

After Felix and Savarian manage to get through the overly complicated Charm-Phrase and Counter-Charm phrase resetting procedure, they climb up the stairs.

"Girls, this is Savarian; I wanted to arrange some back-up for you while Princess Star White was missing and broke one of the cardinal rules of mage-craft." says Felix. "Never make a business deal with a dragon unless the alternative is being crunchy and good with ketchup. Anyway, she'll be here for a week, in which time hopefully we'll be able to help Princess Star White get free."

Felix takes a deep breath. "I need to stress something as VERY important. The fact that Savarian is here to help and the details of her powers must be kept VERY secret. If Princess Adrestia or any other Aterian finds out about her abilities before we're ready, it would be disasterous. Aerth's entire future or, worse, the entire future of Atlantia might depend on this!"

When the pizza order arrives, Felix takes a plain cheese pizza from the order. "I'm going to take this up to Gracieuse to see if she's woken up. Due to her physical status, I had to use a slower version of the soul-return ritual. Would one of you girls like to help me with her while the rest of you eat and then start whatever after-dinner plans you have?"

Shizuka slowly woke up from sleep, ready for another day. When she woke up, she noticed something wasn’t right as she looked around the room. “Wait a moment, this isn’t my room.” Shizuka said aloud, quite confused at how she got in this room. “Did I get abducted or something?” Right after saying this, Shizuka noticed she was in a maid outfit. “Wait a moment, did I get sold to some guy with a maid kink?” Shizuka said to herself. At this point she noticed the elven body she was in “And why are my ears long?! None of this makes sense to me.” Shizuka said once more, trying to understand the situation.

"Wait, there's more of us?" Ryo/Rosa remarked as they grabbed a slice of pizza, "I wouldn't be surprised if we have enough to form a baseball team." They then turn to the others and asked, "I'm going with, anyone else?"

I promise I'll never let you go, baby. 🖤❗

Felix starts walking up the stairs, pizza in hand. "Baseball? That's the one where they run around in shorts and try throwing the ball through that circle, and then sacrifice the winning team to their gods, right?"

"That's basketball...almost. They phased out the whole human sacrifice thing a few centuries ago. I'm talking about where you hit the ball with the stick and you run— ANYWAY! This got quite a bit off topic, let's go see our sleeping beauty, shall we?"

Felix nods in agreement. "Oh, yes, there's an Atlantian sport like that, except we let the hitter keep his club when he tries to run all the patches." He finished climbing up the stairs and then knocks on the door to Shizuka's room. "Gracieuse? Are you awake in there?" he asks. "I know your memories might be a little muddled... if you've forgotten, you're on Aerth which is why the light doesn't look right and the magic field is so thin..."

Shizuka walks over to the door and opens it. "Who are you, and who's Gracieuse? What do you mean by I'm on Aerth? Do you mean Earth? I have many questions." Said Shizuka, looking very confused.

"Oh, dear, more memory issues." Felix says, sighing. "I am Felix Mamzer, Head Valet to Princess Star White of Atlantia. You are Her Ladyship of the Trees Gracieuse, of the Faer Folk, who chose to accompany Princess Star White to this world of Aerth which the ignorant occupants do insist on calling it Earth."

Felix sets the pizza box down on a counter and picks up a silver-filigree circlet from the bedside. "Perhaps wearing your MARI-SUE interface would help."

The Faer Folk are a race of long-lived magical beings. While many Faer Folk resemble humans (except for the elongated ears), Faer Folk are much more closely linked to magic then humans. A Faer, deprived of magic, would be the same as a human deprived of oxygen.

Codex Edit: Lady Gracieuse was extremely brave to accompany me to Aerth with its low magic field, especially at the relatively young age (for Faer) of only one hundred and eighty years old. Also, since the MARI-SUE system is designed to work primarily with humans, Gracie needs to use an artifact to use MARI-SUE instead of being directly linked to it. - Star White

"MARI-SUE interface?" Shizuka said aloud as she read the display. Wait, if this body is of this Gracieuse person and it really is 180 years old, this isn't that bad of a body to be stuck in, not bad at all. Shizuka thought to herself as she finished reading the display. "So if I wanna use this fancy piece of sci-fi tech I gotta get an artifact?" Shizuka asked, deciding to accept whatever she apparently was, even if she was still confused.

Felix nods. "You can either use the circlet like this, as what an Aerther would call a 'monitoring computer' so you and others can see it, or wear it and the interface will project images that only you can see." Felix tries to set the circlet on Shizuka's head like a tiara.

Shizuka decides to allow him to put the circlet on her head since it probably was okay and Felix just didn't seem like the type of guy to do anything with ill intent, yet. "Sounds pretty neat," Shizuka said, her slight suspicions of Felix being a possible member of the mafia now erased.

Flaming gold letters appear in front of Shizuka eyes, in letters she doesn't recognize. The letters are replaced by a spinning hourglass, and then changes to a series of glowing icons at the bottom of Shizuka's vision.

Shizuka looked at the letters in confusion. "what the hell does that mean?" She said to herself.

Shizuka seems a distant sense of perplexity, then new golden letters appears in front of her in a line of text, floating above two glowing buttons.

"Wait a moment, I still don't know what this means, can anyone translate?" Shizuka said, growing more confused every second.

Nodrog Since: Jul, 2009
#694: Apr 1st 2020 at 6:09:10 PM

"Translate what?" asks Felix, confused.

The set of words floating in the air split into two rows.

Thia tapped the yes option, relieved that whatever god was looking at her struggles answered her prayer. "Nevermind, it's fixed I think," Shizuka said with somewhat shaky confidence.

"Summons?" Thia says as she taps the summons option, intrigued at what it could possibly hold.

A list of several names appears, in the same strange lettering. Under each name is the words -NO ENGLISH TRANSLATION-.

"Well, that sucks, I guess they're inaccessible until I can figure out what language that stuff is," Shizuka said in a disappointed tone.

"Um... it should be in High Faerian, your native language." said Felix. "Oh custard... is there some problem with the interface?"
