conversations.value: Vassar is a quirky liberal arts college, notorious for its left-wing views and feminist leanings, nestled in the scenic Hudson Valley of upstate New York. Maybe it was your first choice, or maybe it wasn't, but there is plenty for an incoming Freshman to do their first semester: score some drugs, go slumming around in Poughkeepsie, attend a poetry slam, tour Hyde Park, or study, if you're into that sort of thing.
  
  You, however, have found yourself working as a clerk at the Thompson Memorial Library, the central repository of all the college's most precious tomes and artifacts. It's not bad once you get used to the dust, the quirky library staff, and the weird habit of stuff just disappearing.
  
  But there's a lot more going on in the shadows of the library then coeds necking behind the stacks. You're about to be inducted into a secret war, a conflict so old that it predates civilization. On one side is a secret society that specializes in protecting human ignorance from the vast, unknowable horrors of the hidden world. On the other side is a legion of creatures that jealously crave flesh, eagerly hijacking the bodies of unsuspecting humans and twisting them to their own alien urges. 
  
  How do you fight such a war? With magic, of course. It turns out that magic can do almost anything, open almost any door, fulfill almost any desire...
  
  ...and all it might cost is your soul.

conversations.prefix: Insanity :

conversations.value: [Magic] An intricate paper sword that weighs almost nothing. If a creature's true name is written on the blade, a single blow will utterly destroy it.
conversations.prefix: Origami Sword:

conversations.prefix: Time Management:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're interested in thinking critically about the multiple systems of power through which sexual and gendered identities are constructed. Or you like giving your parents a heart attack. Or it's a euphemism for that time *you* spend necking in the stacks. Or all three...

conversations.prefix: ....like a fox:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: OK - she really does have no idea what's going on, or even if it's real or not.
  
  Not really a good place from which to make rational, well-educated decisions.
conversations.prefix: Out of her depth:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Apparently growing up with few boundaries had a beneficial side effect.
conversations.prefix: Flexible Mind:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Roxie's a looker, but was never the sort of gorgeous people described as "captivating." That changes now, so long as they look you in the eye. Also, your night vision has improved, but your eyes stand out in the dark. Odd.
conversations.prefix: The Eyes Have It:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Well.. the ears at least…
  
  They’re cute, they’re fluffy and they make for one hell of a weird soundscape. If you manage to hold them still they might even pass for a cosplay item.
  
conversations.prefix: Foxy!:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: They say that beauty is only skin deep.  When your focus is primarily on yourself, that holds some truth.
conversations.prefix: Skin Deep:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: It's been one of those days.
  
  No - not one of _those_ days.
  
  One of those days in which you find out that you are a witch, get attacked by spirits and acquire new body parts.  One of _those_ days.

  Quite the opposite - she really has a problem saying no to anyone with a sense of authority about them.
conversations.prefix: A problem with authority...:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: "If you peel away the skin is there anybody there?
  If you peel away the armor is it too late to begin?
  Is there anybody hiding if you peel away the skin?"
  
  *Skin*, Oingo Boingo
conversations.prefix: Empty Inside:

conversations.value: There's a difference and it's an important one.
conversations.prefix: Shy, not antisocial:
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.prefix: With the Flow:

conversations.prefix: Rock Hard Abs:

conversations.value: You and others were given your powers for a reason.  That doesn't mean putting them at risk but it also doesn't mean hold back.
conversations.prefix: Cautiously Optimistic:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You've been on edge all day, and you hate that now every problem looks like a nail in need of a hammer. 
  
  You need to relax, woman...
conversations.prefix: Spent:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Oh yes - something about the something.  Have to remember not to .. whatever it was.
  
  Sometimes you're just too contentedly relaxed to fret too much about things.
conversations.prefix: Mmmm?:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Roxie's life story has been told in arguments, bruises and crumbling concrete. To find herself surrounded by none of these is jarring, if quite pleasant.
conversations.prefix: Unused to Pampering:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Deep down, Kelly wants to do the right thing, wants everyone to be happy.
  
  Not always possible and not always practical.  But it's there in her heart.

  She rather needs to work out quite where she stands with it all.
conversations.prefix: Get a handle on things:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Two witches entwined and aligned, that's a lot of power.
conversations.prefix: Connected:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Or, rather, the appearance of it.  A little can go a long way, especially when you don't have the faintest idea how to control or moderate the spells you are using.
conversations.prefix: Mystical Power:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your mind may have been expanded, but there are still some areas in which you remain completely clueless.
conversations.prefix: Not Your Forte:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Sometimes you just get to the point where the only response you can give a problem is 'meh'.
conversations.prefix: Enui:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Your spirits and destinies are intertwined.  You rise or fall together.
conversations.prefix: Coven Sisters:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can build bodies for fae spirits. That is one hell of a bargaining chip. You can practically name your own price.
conversations.prefix: Fleshcrafter:

conversations.value: The place of winter and seat of power for the dark fae and their servitor spirits.
conversations.prefix: The Unseelie Court:

conversations.prefix: Spirit of Longing:

conversations.value: The private sanctum of a rogue witch, twisted to her desires. Proceed with caution.

conversations.value: A dark, dead forest in the middle of nowhere. Hopefully you can find your way.
conversations.prefix: ???:

conversations.value: You can sense deep in your bones that something is lurching through the woods towards you... and you don't have much time.
conversations.prefix: Something Wicked This Way Comes:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're supposed to handle a challenging first-year's course load *and* also keep the fabric of reality from fraying too long? Surely that second job takes precedence over the first...or should at least provide some credit hours...
conversations.prefix: Overenrolled:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: ...the solution to every problem results in sore thumbs.
  
  But hey - this is a cool thing, gotta use it, right?
conversations.prefix: When you have a hammer...:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: [Magic] A dichotomy of concepts in that it is a treatise on the abstracts of magic.
conversations.prefix: Book of Abstracts:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: With your powers, you can turn into a good third or so of the superheroes on the comic shop rack. Super strength? Check. Super durable? Check. Shapeshifting? Check. But with great power comes great responsibility...right?
conversations.prefix: Right Some Wrongs:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You can't be expected to handle a situation like this yourself. Time to call in the coven and secure some safety in numbers.
conversations.prefix: When the Going Gets Tough...the Tough Call in the Coven:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Cathartic or fool-hardy?  It feels good regardless and sometimes there are things that aren't worth holding on to.
conversations.prefix: Shedding the past:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You don't live your life as an opportunity to build a museum of lovingly curated regrets. You write off the messy mistakes and hold your head high, and anyone who claims you should do otherwise can shove it.
conversations.prefix: Gives Zero Fucks:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: As empty as you think you are, there's always plenty of room for anguish.
