So first of all, I want to apologize for my, well, my rather abrupt message the other night. I didn't want to scare anyone, but I ended up doing that anyway. Long story short, while trying to help someone else here, I got stabbed. I'm okay-- [She holds her hands up for emphasis; her right arm appears to be bandaged.] I made it out a lot better than I could have. I managed to deflect it, for the most part.

But that's not why I'm posting. I had a dream that night, and the more I think about it, the more I think it might have been an echo. I can't remember a lot of details about it, but I remember a name: "The Field of Justice." I think I remember seeing others, but no real details about them.

I know, it sounds really hokey, and that's why I didn't want to say anything about it at first. It could have just been the pain medication I'm on, but you never know, right? Has anyone heard about anything like this; a place that champions of legend fight one another, with the same name maybe? Or even something similar? I feel like I'm grabbing at straws...

[ YOU GOT STABBED, WHAT THE HELL - ]

You're okay, though?

[ Yes you just said that, but the whole emphasis of hand showing is lost on her. ]

Where were you stabbed? You're not doing this from the hospital, are you?

Yeah, I'm okay. I got stabbed in the arm, although it could have been a lot worse. It's not as bad as it sounds. I'm home. I try to avoid going to the hospital if possible, since my mom works there, and it would be a bit hard to explain the sudden hole in my right arm.

Where have you been, by the way? I hadn't heard from you in so long, I thought you might have... left.

[ That does sound pretty bad, uh. ]

Oh, uh. My parents have been keeping me in lockdown, more or less. May or may not have been grounded for a bit, but I think they did that more for a reason to keep me inside than not?

[ No, it's because you brought home a terrible grade for an English report. Nice try, though. ]

So that's what happened. I was getting worried that you had forgotten.

Yeaaaaaah. Unfortunately, I usually access this through my phone or my computer. Writing down the numbers is plain out.

[ Because what good would that do her. ]

So if that stuff gets taken away or limited for whatever reason, I'm plain out of luck.

Some of my friends from school are on here, though. They'd notice, probably say something.

I imagine they've been keeping you in the loop, then?

More or less, yeah. Other than that, I've just been practicing my bending. So...I think I've had a quieter time of it.

[ If she'd seen sewer exploration 2.0 in time she might have signed up, because seeing shit underground is like her main superpower, but yeah. ]

How has that been going? Your bending?

I can officially throw rocks at people.

[ ... ]

You know, if they agreed to it. Or attacked me, I guess. And sort of, uh. Earth...pillars? A little. I'm doing better as I go.

[ But she's at like level one so far. Maybe you will amp it up before season 2, Sophie, there's still time. ]

Whoa, that's amazing! Can you show me sometime?

Sure, I don't mind. We'd just have to meet up somewhere outdoors. And, uh, where that could be done without getting us in trouble, obviously.

[ SHE'S UNGROUNDED NOW, SO THAT COULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN... ]

There are always the caves, as long as we don't go too far in.

I like caves, so that works. Just call me whenever you wa - do you have my number?

[ Who has she even given it out to, um. ]

I don't think I do, actually.

[ She rattles it off. ]

Anyway, call whenever. Except during school hours, obviously.

Obviously not, I'd be in class too.

[She gives her hers as well.]

And then we'd have detention, which is not at all as fun as you'd think from watching The Breakfast Club or something.

I've never had a detention, so I wouldn't know.

What, never? Ever?

[ EVER?

...

This just doesn't compute... ]

Never ever.

[Why did she sound so shocked?]

...How?

[ IS THAT A THING PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY DO... ]

I just don't? I don't know. Detention isn't really a thing at my school. People are way too concerned with how they look to others to get into that kind of trouble.

Oh, you don't go to the public school?

Nope. I go to Starling.

I did not know that.

[ LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY... ]

Wait, they seriously don't have detention? What happens if you, like, break the rules?
