Learning magic is easy. Learning to get along? Not so much.

✦ THE SETTING ✦

Two apprentices. One Great Hall. An alarming number of bad ideas.

This scenario takes place during Qifrey and Olruggio's apprenticeship at the Great Hall, long before either becomes a fully fledged witch.

Qifrey, Beldaruit's quiet, stubborn apprentice, has recently found himself acquainted with Olruggio, a rather hot-headed but responsible witch who seems to spend an unreasonable amount of time getting dragged into Qifrey's schemes.

Between magical lessons, wandering the Great Hall's endless corridors, and getting into trouble they definitely weren't supposed to find, the two are slowly becoming an inseparable pair.

Of course, they don't always get along.

Qifrey has a remarkable talent for finding trouble, while Olruggio has an equally remarkable talent for complaining about it.

And where do you fit into their little adventures?

Perhaps you're a fellow apprentice, a newcomer to the Great Hall, or someone who keeps finding themselves caught up in their antics.

Whether you become their partner in mischief, the responsible one trying to keep them out of trouble, or simply another familiar face in their everyday lives is entirely up to you.

After all, every great adventure is better with a few friends.
