[Above all, just be honest.]

[ in response to this! ]

Um... let's see. This is kind of difficult to do writing it out like this. It feels kind of like a school assignment, but it's Nessa-san's life, so that doesn't feel right either. That's more important than a school essay.

Anyway, I'll give it my best shot, I guess.

In the memory I saw... I was really struck by the fact that Nessa-san seemed a lot more wary and jaded than I was expecting. It made me wonder what's happened in her life to make her have to be so cautious. It's a sad thought to have to be wary of someone who says they're your family, isn't it?

Still, I'm glad that it ended up working out and that Nessa-san was reunited with Nell-san. From the way Nell-san was talking, it seems like they're really close and grew up together. It's always good to have someone like that in your life.

So um, yeah. Those are my thoughts on the memory I saw. I hope that's good enough. It's kind of hard to put all of my feelings into words, but I'll keep doing my best for Nessa-san's sake.

sorry for peeking into your personal life. nobody likes that, but i guess it's the nature of a palace, huh? i'll make it up to you later; i promise.

your sister really cares about you. it's sweet. she acted pretty cold when i first met her, but she's got a really warm heart, doesn't she? it's clear you two care about each other a lot. that kind of love is precious, though i know you don't need me to tell you that.

. . .

sorry about what happened to you. it really sucks.

Re: NESSASHARE

[ while Nell is fetching her tea and a pillow... she taps out a short message. ]

When I send these to you... Which "you" reads my words? Is it both? Are you two women constantly trapped behind other one's eyes? You think such kind things about me, you know. Believing I am being so brave and good. Thing inside my mind is not another version of me; she is something I can hate without reservation. It is selfishness that keeps her here, not bravery. You are in so much more painful position than me.

I am difficult friend to have. I do not always say nicest things. I came here to help you, but now that I am here, I am being rude to "you" who guides me, simply because you are more than what I expected you to be.

...This is not bad thing. You contain multitudes, girl. Do not worry about being what I expect. You are Nessa. Who you are is always who you are. I am who I am. And we are friends, you and I.

I am apologizing. I check back in soon.

Nessa recovering from her fight and being nursed back to health by Agnis is so so so so sad!! What a compassionate soul Agnis is! I could cry for days! I want to cry for days!

Poor Nessa! Agnis is such a good sister! I wish there were more people like Agnis in the world!

Anyway, enjoy your shopping!

[Make your selection here!]

SERVICES

[voidhearts]

EMPOWER YOUR SPARK + 1 SHARD - 500 NessaPoints
[Your spark is currently neutral and unrefined, but it has potential within it to grow. Unlock its potential and fully empower yourself.]
[Caution: Certain elemental spell effects will not activate until you’ve empowered your spark.]
[NessaShop Special Limited Time Offer: Empower your Spark today and receive 1 free Shard and 10 free pulls, including one guaranteed *****+ from NessaRoulette!*

*In the event of unforeseeable facility closures, NessaShop waives all obligation to deliver NessaRoulette content, NessaRoulette launch window tentatively scheduled for April 2023.]

ASK FOR A HINT - 20 NessaPoints
If you’re stuck somewhere and you don’t know what to do, our Explorer Assistance Department can help you out! For a price.

COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT - 5 NessaPoints
Look, I didn’t exactly have a chance to run any of this by a QA department. If one of your spells sucks or something’s too hard or you have an idea for something you want, like a spell or a new app or whatever, fine, tell me and I’ll see what I can do. If you use this as a cheaper way of asking for a hint, I’ll give you such a pinch.

DO MY SPELLBOOK FOR ME - 50 NessaPoints
I’m charging extra for this because I want you to experience the joy of building a spellbook for yourself. It’s a special sense of accomplishment that every young and upcoming witch should experience for themselves at least once and I would feel like I’m robbing you of a special moment if I just did it for you, but also, I kind of really need you to win your fights while you’re in here, so if you have no interest in doing it yourself, pick this. Spellbook advice on the other hand, a dialogue between two witches, is free in the direct message section of the NessaShare app.

DEFAULT SPELLS - 25 NessaPoints each

[voidhearts]

[You’ve gotta start somewhere! Here’s a selection of rudimentary neutral spells to begin you on your witching journey.]

Name: Spark Bolt
Description: A simple offensive spell. Converts Spark into a burst of focused energy that jars and pushes whatever it strikes. Rarely lethal unless applied with exceptional malice, more commonly used to rob someone of advantageous positioning, get their attention when words won’t suffice or inform that their current choice of headwear isn't
Tier: Basic
Spark: Neutral
Range: Ranged
Effect:
Deal low damage to one opponent.

Name: Spark Strike
Description: A simple offensive spell. Converts Spark into a layer of energy covering a body part, allowing it to strike with increased force. Retains more force than a Spark Bolt and the solid layer of Spark can be utilized defensively in a pinch.
Tier: Basic
Spark: Neutral
Range: Melee
Effect:
Deal low damage to one opponent.

Name: Wrist Barrier
Description: Solid Spark conjured onto one’s wrist in the shape of a small barrier. Most useful for intercepting and deflecting incoming attacks to open up the chance for counterattack. Created in a moment of ingenuity and desperation at the point of a Witch Hunter’s cutlass. Best suited for those prepared to take the risk to reap their reward.
Tier: Neutral
Spark: Basic
Range: Melee
Effect:
Deal low damage to one opponent.
+1 to Parry Chance for one round. Can only be used once per round.
Defense bonus: Increase Parry Chance by +1
