 GC: Erisio appraches Mari timidly. "Hey, Mari, can I talk to ya?"

 TA: "Hmm?" Mari looks away from her husktop for a moment. "Oh, certainly. What is it?"

 GC: "Well, it*s about that staff. I know you want to experiment on it and stuff, but I don*t really think that*s the best idea"

 GC: "Like, pretty much everyone agrees that it is possibly dangerous and may also curse and or kill you if you arent careful"

 TA: Mari raises a hand to forestall him. "I am aware that studying the staff might be dangerous. But everything powerful is dangerous. By studying it, and gaining a better idea how it works, it will be less dangerous in the future. Besides, just think of what I might discover!" Mari's eyes gain a faraway look.

 GC: "Yeah but like, it*s obviously haunted or something! I mean, you can*t just pretend we didn*t all almost die several times!"

 GC: "Whatever that staff does, it threw away Dina*s attack like it was a tennis ball!"

 TA: "Which is why it needs to be studied. Just think! What if we could create items that could reflect attacks like that?"

 GC: "yeah but, shouldn*t you let the veterans of the game look at it? Like, there*s this girl Sami who knows a lot about this stuff, she*s the kid version of Col. Heston, and I bet she*d be able to help a ton!"

 TA: Mari cups her chin, thinking. "I'll speak with her. But I want a chance to study the staff myself, before it gets whisked away by veteran players."

 GC: "Just... be careful. You don*t need to be making the same mistakes I do. Make sure you always know which direction the shooty bit is pointing

 TA: Mari raises an eyebrow. "I'll be careful. Was there anything else?"

 GC: "Uh no, I guess not. thanks for your time..."

 TA: Mari mumbles a farewell, already engrossed with her work again.
