silk_for_caldeThey say in Trivigaunte, the women fight like guardsmen...
This is a new curse for me. It's... awkward. A little embarrassing, though certainly far from the worst this City has to offer.
I was not afflicted the other day, when a great many of us were offered a glimpse of a life that might have been, had the whorl treated us differently; I'm almost sorry. Who would I have become, if I'd gone into politics as my mother wished, if Scylla hadn't chosen me to be an augur? What would have happened if the Outsider had not prepared me for the purchase of my manteion?
If I'd been a daughter instead of a son, would I have become a sibyl for Patera Pike? And who would have come to aid the old augur-- or would the Chapter have let Sun Street fall into disrepair, abandoned like the building on Music Street, to become a home for ghosts and devils?
Curious questions, and ones with no answers.

May I ask a delicate question? You have my word that the answer is under the seal of Pas; that is, I am bound not to tell it. Are you a-- magician, of some sort?
[1/idk] does that make me a backdatey john?

Date: 2009-03-09 07:46 pm (UTC)What? No! What in the world would give you such a ridiculous idea?
Yeah it probably does >D
Date: 2009-03-09 09:27 pm (UTC)The manner in which you've asked about magic suggest you've some personal store in the answer.
how much backdating does a twenty get me?
Date: 2009-03-09 09:28 pm (UTC)Don't be ridiculous. I was just curious.
idk evidently i do a lot of h0ring? it's been. um. kinda a shit week. |D
Date: 2009-03-10 07:26 pm (UTC)I meant no disrespect.
...If you remain curious, there are others here who may know more than I. And certainly the Library has texts on-- well, any matter you can dream of, and many you can't. I have been reading about divination extensively, but I've seen mentions of what might be termed magic as well.
