[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 9568614, member: 7737"] Our next alternate history explores [B]what happens if we decide to start at the bottom by learning cantrips[/B]. There are two different sections to turn to depending upon when we answer Beldon's question about where we want to start. From the initial dining hall conversation, we can turn to (241) to insist we start at a more basic level with someone else; later, during the interview, we can turn to (193) to reiterate that we want to start as a total novice. --- [B]241[/B] We "don't want to receive any special treatment". [[I]Carr… the entire POINT of being born into an important family is so that we DO receive special treatment.[/I]] Beldon momentarily frowns, loudly proclaims we won't get any favors from him nor from anyone else, and says our level of study is for him to decide. "In the meantime, senior novice Arno will, I'm sure, teach you the more interesting of his many tricks." We gulp as we notice Arno look at us with a "cruel gleam in his dark eyes" like "a child about to pull the wings off a butterfly." We can choose who we eat our meal with: (13) the "darker man" who is "swarthy and lean, perhaps a bit more than twenty years old" [[I]not Arno, but someone who weirdly resembles him[/I]], or (46) the one with "thick glasses" who is "fair skinned", "chubby", and around our age, or (75) no-one: we eat our meal alone, in silence. [[I]The second and third choices stab this aged nerd right in the feels.[/I]] [/QUOTE]
