[OPENING] magical training log

Who: Brie, whichever newbies want to show up.
Where: The beach.
When: Day 4
Open/Closed: OTA

[It's about noon on the island, based on the position of the sun. The newbies have had a few days to settle in, but that doesn't mean they've fully mastered their newfound abilities.

As much stock as Genette puts into telepathy, Brie is more concerned about their other newfound gifts. She's aggressively tried to wrangle as many newbies as possible onto the sandy shores of the beachfront area for some magic practice.

She's got a list of everyone's magic -- only a few vague notes, limitations are for you to discover -- and she's handing out missions for magic training. If you want to participate? Feel free. If you don't? Suit yourself.

But understanding your magic isn't just an activity that benefits the group. Learning your magic's abilities may be what stands between you and survival, which is something she makes perfectly clear.]

Have you ever read the Wizard of Oz? One of the characters, the scarecrow, continuously says he's not very smart. He says it quite often... but as the story goes on that character comes up with all the good ideas and all the plans over and over again. He was actually the smartest in the group all while saying he wasn't very smart at all.

I think by constantly telling yourself this you're failing to see how smart you actually are!

There are lots of different smarts in the world you know. Book smarts and street smarts... I think you're smarter than you think, you just can't see it. Not yet anyway.
