《A Beautiful Woman of Science and Other Absurdities》Chapter 24
Advertisement
Having returned to their research offices after visiting Anaelle and Marielle, Kylian and Viviane met up with Moyenne, who reappeared while they were away. A happy Moyenne greeted her colleague and roommate.
“Hi, Viviane! Let me guess, I missed out on visiting Anaelle and Marielle with you?”
“I couldn’t find you!” replied Viviane, “But I asked Kylian to come with me instead.”
Moyenne raised an eyebrow. This juicy news needed further exploration. “Ooooooo! Maybe it was a good thing for me not to come along this time. Was it like a date?”
Viviane scoffed at Moyenne’s suggestion that Kylian and her had gone on a date. “It was nothing of the sort!”
“Boring!” Moyenne did not hesitate to express her disappointment.
Kylian, not liking the direction the conversation was going, tried to change the subject before too many embarrassing details about him were revealed. “Say, Viviane, I never got a chance to ask you, but why do you like those two girls so much?”
“I know why!” Moyenne blurted out. She was eager to spill another secret about Viviane.
“Oh, be quiet Moyenne!” scolded Viviane. Realizing that Kylian was going to find out one way or another, she turned to Kylian and decided to answer his question herself. “One day, Dr. Renard brought his twin daughters to the office with him because he couldn’t find anyone else to watch them for the afternoon. He asked Moyenne and me to babysit for a day.”
“It was fun instead of work.” Moyenne smiled remembering that day. “Those two are such a riot! They do everything the same.”
Viviane continued to explain, “Anyway, it was then that I learned that their mother passed away when they were not yet three years old and they don’t remember anything about her. I felt bad for them thinking that they had grown up all these years without a mother, because for me, too, I had grown up not knowing my real mother nor my father. Somehow, I felt a strong connection with them.”

Moyenne could not contain herself, reliving the story Viviane told to Kylain. She squealed, “And that’s when they asked Viviane to be their ‘Fairy Godmother.’ Ohmigod! Isn’t that TOO cute?”
Moyenne had embarrassed Viviane again! But Viviane continued on explaining. “I don’t know why I said ‘yes’, but I just couldn’t say no to them. So now, I’m their ‘Fairy Godmother’, I guess.” Viviane gave a sheepish grin.
Perhaps Viviane thought that Fairy Godmothers were too childish to believe in, or perhaps she thought that Fairy Godmothers should have magical powers which she did not have any. Or perhaps she thought that being a fairy was just too silly to imagine. Whatever her reasons, Viviane now added “fairy” to her list of titles, “Physicist” and “fashion model” being the other two.
Kylian tried to imagine Viviane dressed up as a fairy, but his imaginary fairy was not the typical, fantasy, woodland type. Instead, his version was the sexy Halloween kind of fairy! He felt guilty just imagining Viviane like that, so he stopped himself right away before his thoughts turned naughty.
Distracted by the image in his head and in typical manner for Kylian, he had only one profound thing to say after learning about the relationship between Viviane and the twin girls.
“Oh.”

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
