[Ghost is, at this point, moving with the unbridled energy of someone who's either on their fifteenth cup of coffee in the past six hours, or so aggressively in "fix-everything" mode that she's running on willpower and adrenaline. Or possibly both.

Either way, it makes for an authoritative, matter-of-fact experience when Altria eventually flags her down; she raises a finger to wait, yells at someone across the room about where a spool of copper wire does and doesn't belong, and then pivots back like a champion figure skater, all without missing a single beat of rhythm.]

Hi. You're who and why do you need me?

[excaliburden]

[Oh, this lady is prompt and business-like, and clearly holding five hundred strings at once. That warrants a prompt and business-like response in return, so as to note waste her time.]

I'm Altria Caster! I'm here because it seems like you're helping everyone with everything, so I wanted to see if you need help on anything yourself?

[It feels like that's the most sensible option she's got; everything seems very in hand by capable people, so...! Support the competent leader!]

[badfeyth]

Ummmmmmmm. Oh. Right. That's me, I'm Ghost, I'm facilitating this project. And you're Altria Caster —

[She says, like a person distracted by about twenty different things and repeating things to herself to be sure she'll remember them.]

— Right, okay. What's your skillset?

[excaliburden]

[Oh boy. This lady is working way too hard, and yet she can't help but be impressed by the work ethic and juggling of responsibilities.



Unfortunately, she does not have a good answer to that question.]

Um...

[What can she do, what can she do...]

I can do some magecraft...?

[badfeyth]

[SHE IS WORKING SO HARD ALTRIA SAVE HER BE THE INTERVENTION SHE NEEDS RIGHT NOW]

Magecraft. Okay, let's see. Would that involve illusions, by any chance? Levitation? Any kind of practical application?

[excaliburden]

[SHE TRULY NEEDS ONE. Altria tilts her head at that, but ultimately nods.]

Practical magic is what I'm good at! I'm not so good at illusions, but I can lift things with it or things like that. I'm especially good with boundaries or protection spells.

[A contemplative pause. As much as she wants to show off her magic, she's at 20% right now and also:]

But also... are you okay?

[badfeyth]

[Has Ghost ever been okay a single day in her life for the past ten years? Signs point to no.]

Fantastic, that'll come in handy when we start doing some of the wall enhancements, dealing with things that might fall, things like that. I'm sure we'd all welcome the extra protection.

[She jots a note on her clipboard — and then kind of stalls out, looking up with a sort of bewilderment.]

Sorry, am I...what? [...] I'm...I mean. I...guess?

[THAT SOUNDS CONFIDENT.]

[excaliburden]

I can definitely do that.

[Yeah that doesn't sound confident at all....... Altria blinks, gathers her thoughts and her confidence, and tries again.]

... Are you sure though? It just seems like maybe you're handling a lot of things all at once, so I was worried that you might be overdoing it a little.
