I had a few questions that aren't exactly related, but might as well be asked together.
[This feels familiar and yet also awkward. He'd gotten used to tormenting all of Hadriel with questions, but this is a new place and despite having been here a few weeks now he's still pretty unsure about the social dynamics. But continuing to be unsure won't accomplish anything, so he might as well just get into it.]
I've already gotten some interesting answers from a few people here, but since there are new arrivals once again it seems worth asking more generally: for those who've been here awhile, if you could only give one piece of advice to new people, what would it be?
Related to arriving, I've heard that some people here arrived from somewhere other than their own worlds. For those who are willing to share, if this situation applies to you, where did you come from and what was it like?
[He'll hold off on sharing his own experience just yet, at least unless he's asked directly.]
My last question is less curiosity and more practicality: does anyone know of a place that's isolated and safe enough for those who haven't discovered their powers to practice doing so? It seems a little reckless to test out new powers in the safehouse, around other people, but obviously we also shouldn't be practicing anywhere that the glow might be noticed. A designated location might be useful for that sort of thing, but before I try to figure out how to make that happen I'd like to make sure I'm not doing something someone's already done.
[He doesn't want to deal with finding rental places, let alone pay for one, if he doesn't have to.]
