Hey. I'm new here. My name's Tobias. I figured I'd introduce myself before I'm in the classroom, so that no one thinks they're going crazy. See, I'm a red-tailed hawk, not a human. So if you see a big bird with a pretty red tail indoors or flying around, keep in mind it might not be a normal animal.

That's all. Thanks.

Like little metal talon covers that do something magical. That would be wild.

[...Oh. Oh no.]

About that... can you download textbooks here?

[nor_iron_bars]

yeah there's an app on your phone that should let you do that.
can you do voice-to-text?

[hawkwardness]

I'm doing it right now. Otherwise I'd scratch up the screen. What's the app?

[nor_iron_bars]

just tell it to bring up the library app.
the search function lets you search by class.

Got it, I see it now. Thanks. Can't exactly carry around books heavier than I am.

Unless there's a spell for that.

[nor_iron_bars]

there's like six.
depends on how you want to do that.
and what kinda skills you got.

[There are almost certainly a lot more than six possible spells that could do that, given the sheer variety of magical tradition and ability. That was just the amount she could think of off the top of her head.]

It doesn't matter to me how.

And I'm a 'candle'. I can change shape. That's all I've got right now.

[nor_iron_bars]

welp.
that's what we like to call a bad news/good news kinda situation.
good news is you might be able to do anything.
bad news is we don't know exactly what til you try.
might as well give something a shot and find out.
