12th Horseshoe - Video

[Her expression is a stoic mask - practiced, commanding attention and respect. She's had years to practice her war face. Only the people on the train who know her particularly well might be able to detect the concern and worry behind it.]

So, I'm about to put in a feedback request to add a new car to this train. They've got us doing some pretty demanding and physical stuff here, and I think we need more help on the therapy end. I'm proposing that we add a therapy and relaxation car to this train.

I'd want it to include at least one hot tub - probably more - along with a cold tub for helping with recovery from injury and soreness. It's the kinda thing professional sports teams have in their clubhouse. The hot tubs could be used for people who just want to unwind, but priority would be given for people recovering from injury or trauma. Maybe throw in a massage table if there's room.

Let me know if this sounds like a good idea to you, or if you have any objections or additions before I submit my request.

I've mentioned this before, but we've gotten enough new people since then that I dare say it's worth repeating.

I am a wizard. That means that I have absolutely no inherited magical talent, but that I can still manipulate ambient magical energy in the environment through carefully calculated understanding of how it behaves when it interacts with a living person.

The practical upshot of this is that not only can I cast spells, but I can teach anyone else how to cast spells. It doesn't require you to be born with power, just to be able to use your mind. And to be able to do a lot of math.

Since we constantly find ourselves in increasingly bizarre situations (though honestly compared to some of the places we've been, that last world felt positively homey.), I imagine it can only be to our benefit to expand our skillsets as much as possible. I've never felt very comfortable with the idea of direct face to face violence, but I've still been doing my best to learn from Monsieur Rieper's lessons, for example.

So what I'm getting at is, if anyone feels confident in their mathematics skills, I would be willing to teach them how to be a wizard. And if anyone ISN'T confident in their mathematics skills, I can also be a passable math tutor until you reach such a point that you are. It's not EASY by any stretch of the imagination, but it is achievable by anyone who is willing to put the work in.
