Chapter 12

The next morning, the new squares on the bandolier beckoned me. I laid the bandolier on the table in the room.

“That’s the second day in a row. You slept for over twelve hours, even though you aren’t sick.” Talindra tightened a leather jerkin.

“I’ve had two long days.”

“Okay, but I’m watching you. Did you know you’ve got a couple of gray hairs?”

“Maybe my hair misses Earth.” I pulled out the book of Aossi poetry, the Ancient Aossi text, Prolegomena to Study of the Planar with Selection from Materials Power, the university pen, and the blank book.

“You look like you’re going to do something,” said Talindra.

“Oh, yeah, sorry,” I said. “My head swam from how long the interview and hire took. Then Kitara told me I leveled, and I had this new stuff, and then the whole Avaris thing. I guess I spaced out.”

“That’s a lot. You do your thing. I’m going to hang out in the other room.” She kissed me and left the room.

I opened the squares one at a time. The first one on my bandolier held my new university pad. I needed to spend time to learn this. I put it to the side, and I put my old pad next to it. The second square held my office key. I put it back into the second slot. I snapped the room key into the first slot. The square that held my pad fit into the third slot. I opened the fourth slot. That had my work items. I pulled the square that held my traveling spell book and the book of Aossi poetry and put it in the fourth slot. I put the work items in the fifth slot. My two blank squares slipped into the sixth and seventh slots.

The university pad contained more functions than my current pad. I opened the room chest and put the old pad in there.

From my room chest, I pulled out a scroll with a piece of paper and my standard spell book. I needed to level to one-point-four; I needed to work on the translation, and I needed to figure out this stupid book of poetry.

First, I leveled. I cast seven incantations now. Since pain had value as a deterrent, I chose Shards of Glass as one of my new spells.

The game offered me choices in a special skill. Most choices that sounded fine, but one stuck out, Tuatha Quickness. It made my reactions twenty-two percent faster.[4]

I gambled and chose it.

I copied my spells into each spell book.

When I finished, I put my standard spell book back into the room chest and my traveling spell book in the square. I pulled out the poetry book and glared at it for a while. I pushed it to the side and pulled out my university pad. Something stuck in my mind when I read Tuatha Quickness and bothered me. I read the description again.

Your nimbleness as a Tuatha has allowed you to manipulate your hands and feet so that you are twenty-two percent quicker.
