[ Adam had hoped there would be some other way to do this. Posting anonymously on the network is a little more severe than just not offering up information. So this act is probably more of a betrayal than the others. But with time passing and this place slowly filling up with the Henrietta contingent, he's running out of time.

So he gets a source from the newspaper to teach him how to lock down his entry and make sure nothing identifying is attached, and then he locks himself in the storage closet to craft his request. It pretty much follows one of the more simplified classified adverts the Blotter publish. ]

Tutor Needed
Student seeks a part time tutor of magic. Able to travel to all porter cities. No inherent skill available, but dedicated to learning.

Must be experienced magic user. Defensive / offensive work both required. Payment can be discussed on agreement of contract. Confidentiality also appreciated.

[ It sounds dumb, he knows it sounds dumb. But sooner or later someone's going to come looking for more printer paper or toner and he'd rather do it here than at home where his thoughts might shift to how bad of an idea this is. So he swallows down his doubt and hits send. ]

( ooc: all replies will remain anonymous until adam chooses otherwise. _

What sort of magic? In my experience there are lots of different types here.

text

[aberth]

[ Welp, considering everyone else's IDs still come up, he feels a little bad. ]

anything that could be useful in a fight.

[rathercommon]

What sort of magic do YOU have

text

[aberth]

i don't.
that's why i need to be taught.

[ It's actually a good thing he's working at the newspaper and not the garage today, otherwise this could be really awkward. ]

Don't go with Hawke.

[ look, he's in a pissy mood so he's going to take it out on the network and shove whoever this poor soul is away from Captain Pyromania. ]

[aberth]

[ He will go with Hawke simply because Dorian doesn't like her ... ]

i don't know who that is.

text;

[brushoff]

[ curses, foiled again. ]

She has an annoying tendency towards setting people on fire. [ aka him. twice. ]

text;

[aberth]

sounds useful.

[ Did she set Dorian on fire? Because he is sad to have missed that ... ]

is it just people?

[whathawksdo]

As much as I would love to offer lessons simply to spite Gray now, I'm afraid his warnings are a bit pointless.
I can't teach what I do, not unless you're already a mage from Thedas.

[aberth]

he deserved it, didn't he?

[ Maybe bitching about Dorian Grey when he's anonymous isn't all that great an idea, but plenty of people seem to dislike him so Adam considers himself safe. ]

no, america, sadly. but thanks for letting me know.

[whathawksdo]

A lot.
He deserved it a lot.

[ The man was even dressing up like a very poor and unimaginative super-villain, but she won't go into details. ]

I'm sure you'll find someone.
There's at least one mage out there giving lessons, that much I do know.

[aberth]

i wish i could have been there.

[ Adam Parrish is King of Never Forgive, Never Forget, lbr. ]

i hope so too. i'm kind of running out of options.

[mousquetaire]

I can't teach you magic.

I can very well teach you to defend yourself, if that's what you need. You can be good - better than good - without ever relying on spellwork.

text

[aberth]

i'm not great at physical fighting.

[ His daliances with Saya have shown him that. Adam gets close enough to be hit and he starts to lose it. Magic would give him power but keep him out of harm's way. At least, so he hopes. ]

text

[mousquetaire]

[ The question alone had told d'Artagnan that. ]

That is why you learn.

What are your porter given powers, may I ask?

text | private

[aberth]

[ He knows d'Artagnan, a little. But not enough that he'd think the Musketeer would know who he was via a list of his powers.

Other people, though. So he remains anonymous but switches to private. ]

i can make a forcefield of elecriticity. not very well though, and not on command. i have to be hit first.
i can also control the plants and trees around me.

I can teach magic to imPorts who have no prior skill. Although a baptism is required- it's not a religious thing, more of an initiation.

By offensive and defensive, do you need magic and wards?

[Some info on what Sabriel can offer.]

text

[aberth]

what does the baptism entail?

and yeah, pretty much. i'm looking for something i can use to protect and defend my friends in a fight.

text

[bindsthedead]

I'd pour some enchanted water over your head. Baptism is needed to establish a connection to the Charter, in order to draw on its power.

Charter magic demands discipline, patience, and study- if you possess both, you will be able to master it.

And while most of my students are more interested in healing, Charter magic can be used in combat- both to restrain, and to fight in a more lethal manner.

[inmyothertights]

Because this won't end badly at all.

You probably should specify the kind of magic, too.

[aberth]

[ Ah.

Well, he's just glad Billy's not offering. He'd have to decline considering how close he is to Gansey. ]

there's so much magic in this place.
i couldn't specify if i wanted to.

[inmyothertights]

So you don't want to learn card tricks, I'm guessing.

[booyahh]

Find anyone to help you out yet? Magic's my specialty so I'd be happy to help anyone that needs some

text

[aberth]

i might have.
but i'm keeping my options open.
what can you do?

[ #1 opportunist: Adam Parrish. ]

text

[booyahh]

pretty much....everything? I'm very versatile.
