In the morning I woke up at sunrise, took some time to create fine strands of fabric from my webs so I could make new cloths “something fashionable” was a nice idea. After an hour I made a plain looking long sleeve dress, sadly white in color as I didn’t have any dyes. I zoned out trying to remember how mom used to get dyes for fabric, but then remembering it’s probably different here. I sat down at the table thinking about the now seemingly weird questions I’ve been asked the other day, now thinking about it the ancient one was pretty lenient with me. I getting hungry after thinking hard about those things I used Produce small animal while opening the wardrobe seeing that a rabbit came out I was thinking “much beter then rat for breakfast” I grabbed the rabbit quickly before it started running around the room, got the rabbit close to my mouth as I opened it my human looking teeth changed form into spider chelicerae and I ate it like a spider, without thinking how different I was from humans.
After I was done I made a napkin out of silk to clean my face in case I had blood remaining on it, then I used Rot spell to get rid of it. A few moments later I heard knocking on my door, I opened it and there was Curtis waiting for me. “Good morning” I said to him and he said “good morning” to me. Then he asked “are you was hungry? “, I answered “I just ate”. He seemed surprised, so I decided to show him quickly. “Can I borrow one of your pockets from a moment?” I asked while casting Produce small animal, he nodded in agreement and I opened his pocket and a small rabbit that tried to bite my finger as I caught it came out. Curtis was shocked finding that a live rabbit came out of his pants pocket. “Petty spells are amazing I know, it’s also one of the first spells I learned.” I proudly smiled as I said that. “Do you want this one?” I asked. “I was going to accompany you to the mess hall, then were going to New York to buy the books you need” he answered. “I guess I’m going to keep it for later then” I quickly cocooned it and threw it on the table. “I am interested in seeing what foods your mess hall provides” I said trying to divert the conversation, while closing the door and garbing Curtis by the hand. We went to the mess hall in silence, after grabbing some pastries and tea I sat with Curtis sense I didn’t know anyone else.
After breakfast we took a fixed portal to the Ney York temple, I memorized the space coordinates so I won’t have to walk back when I needed to come back quickly. When we exited out of the door of the New York temple I was shocked “this place looks amazing, it’s a city right?” I asked with stars shining in my eyes. “Yes it is, it’s very big” Curtis answered, “I will explain more when we reach the train station” he added. I decided not to ask anything as I was too busy taking in the sights, on the way I saw weird carts without horses, how people dressed them self’s and other stuff. I also noticed some shady people talking in ally’s, I guessed there some sort of rouges or similar without paying them any more attention. We arrived at the train station, Curtis paid for train tickets and while waiting for the train I started asking him about everything I saw, he tried answering me the best he could before our train arrived. We arrived at 9 St Train station and walked our way to Brentano’s, “interesting name for a book store” I said, Curtis nodded in agreement. Curtis got me “Easy Steps” picture book, a dictionary and some books he thinks I might like. I looked quickly what books he got I saw Native son by Richard wright, The Hear is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. Before we left the store I asked him to buy me a book about clothing so he got me “Make Do and Mend” book and a calendar. As we exited the store I asked “can we take another type of transportation?” Curtis smiled and said “sure let’s take the bus”.

We walked to a nearby bus station slowly and we saw some people dressed in black clothing beating up someone in an ally. All of them were dressed in pretty much the same clothing, “they are gangsters, one of the Irish gangs most likely”. “Should we help him?” I asked, “neither of them are good people” Curtis said while shaking his head. So we continued walking to the bus station and waiting for a bus to arrive, to my surprise a bus is different from a train. I asked Curtis if there was an area I should avoid if I came to explore the city, “avoid hell’s kitchen a lot of gangsters there and they then to be noisy” he said. I suspected he has history with the place from how he answered. We arrived back at the New York temple several minutes and took a portal back to Kamar-Taj. “I am going back to my room to study, I would like pencils are paper delivered to my room daily, if that isn’t too much trouble” I asked Curtis. “If you teach me that spell to summon a rabbit out of a pocket” he asked. I agreed sense it’s a very much needed spell if your outdoors. In the evening Curtis came over and was teaching me English starting from basics.
