Magic/Support Reserves Meeting, The Preserve, Wednesday Afternoon
Raven was just a little nervous to start the reserves meeting. She'd gotten more used to speaking up in class, but talking in front of a group of people who were all looking at her was a different story. A gentle nudge from Karla had been necessary to get her to step forward and begin to speak.
"Many of us here -- not all, I know -- prefer to avoid the fighting for our own reasons," Raven said. "For instance, I am a pacifist, and as an empath, the emotions that arise during combat are often very uncomfortable for me. I will deal with such things when I must heal someone, but I do not belong in the front lines of combat.
"But for those who are engaged in a fight, whether magically or physically, it is best not to do so blindly. When something invades Fandom, we must find out everything about it so that we know how to best repel the attack, and that is where we can provide much needed support. Some of us have abilities to use various forms of divination, be it tarot cards or crystal balls or prophetic dreams. Others are skilled with a computer or are more at home with books, and may have access to information that the rest of us do not.
"Today we would like to talk about what abilities, either magical or mundane, each of us have for researching threats to Fandom. For instance, I sometimes have prophetic dreams of the future, but I know very little about computers. I am just beginning to learn to use one." Just wait 'til she found Rumor Gal fanfic.

Re: Discussion: Research and Divination
And by 'play fair' she meant 'roll over and die,' so it was possible she was being a teensy bit illogical, here.
Re: Discussion: Research and Divination
"Tell me about it," he agreed, nodding emphatically. "I mean, it's not like they're hard to kill, but if you get enough of them on your case, and they're all bouncing around and expanding and blowing up on you, things can get pretty hairy pretty quick."
Which... Totally had everything in the world to do with Libra, Scan, and Sense, right?
