Exaltation the first [voice]

[dodgecharms]

Okay, so... chosen soul, destined to do battle and determine the fate of the world, etcetera, etcetera. Same old, same old. What I want to know is what's up with this whole "car" thing? How does that work?

Also, you have no idea how lucky you guys are with this whole "you get magic for free" thing.

Really, really lucky.

[greyerrant]

What about cars confuses you?

[dodgecharms]

The part where they're supposed to move themselves. Without Essence, I mean.

[greyerrant]

They use a primitize internal combustion engine. It is hardly magic.

[dodgecharms]

...I'm assuming that was supposed to make sense.

[greyerrant]

Would you prefer I contact a techpriest to explain things to you?

[dodgecharms]

Would it make more sense if they explained it?

[greyerrant]

Probably not.

[dodgecharms]

I think I'll pass, then.

I'm not really the engineering type, anyways.

[greyerrant]

Don't worry about it too much.

[dodgecharms]

I guess I'll just get used to them. Or something.

[greyerrant]

That sounds like it would be best.

[deathboss]

Yeah...same old...

[dodgecharms]

I guess it's not boring, at least.

You have experience with the "hero business" then, miss?

[She'll get to the cars once she figures out why they don't hover.]

Re: Voice

[dodgecharms]

Yeah, you could say that.

[echo_of_a_jedi]

You seem a little blasé about being what the people who write stories would call a Chosen One, is all.

[dodgecharms]

Oh, well. I'm kind of used to it, really.

[Voice]

[grancenturio]

I agree on the magic front, but complaining about how good the newcomers have it today will only make us look old.

As for cars, I believe they function due to a reaction of a few chemicals - alchemy was never my strong suit, however.

Re: [Voice]

[dodgecharms]

I don't think anybody is really going to think I'm old.

Ugh, I wish Misho were here to explain that.

...On second thought, not really.

[Voice]

[grancenturio]

You don't sound it, but some people are inherently suspicious.

[dodgecharms]

I guess that makes sense, if people are used to others not looking their age.

[grancenturio]

People here come from all kind of worlds with all manner of youthful faces hiding ancient minds. Or the reverse, I suppose.

[dodgecharms]

Well, I guess I can understand that. You wouldn't guess that Misho is as old as he is just by looking at him, after all.

[grancenturio]

There you are. You could secretly be thousands of years old and fly into a rage any time someone fails to call you 'ma'am'. I can't say just from speaking to you once.

[dodgecharms]

Well, for the record, I won't go crazy and try to murder you for thinking that I'm not old.

[grancenturio]

Glad to hear it.

1/3

[dodgecharms]

So, uh... on a completely unrelated note, do you know where a girl can find a coffin around here?

[dodgecharms]

...

3/3

[dodgecharms]

...okay, that probably sounded really weird.

[grancenturio]

If you were speaking to anyone but a necromancer, perhaps.

You would like the morgue? Virgo district.

[dodgecharms]

Okay, that's a relief. I keep taking things for granted that other people find a bit disturbing.

[Also gonna just... file away that bit about necromancy for later. Bit of a buzzword for Abyssals, that.]

Well, I'm not looking for corpses. I'm not actually a necromancer, myself.

[grancenturio]

Just the coffins, then? I'm sure the proprietor will still know where to find them.

[dodgecharms]

Okay, cool. Thanks for the help, uhhh...

What's your name?

[grancenturio]

Nessiah. And your name is?

[dodgecharms]

Secret.

[grancenturio]

It is unfair to ask for one's name and then refuse to give your own.

[dodgecharms]

No, that's actually my name. Part of it, anyways.

[grancenturio]

Ah. Then, it is a pleasure, Secret.

[dodgecharms]

The same.

[grancenturio]

You have experience with heroics?

[dodgecharms]

You could say that, I think.

[grancenturio]

I could say a number of things, only some of which would be true.

[dodgecharms]

Well... it's kind of complicated.

[grancenturio]

Too complicated to tell?

[dodgecharms]

A little bit? I mean, not really, it would just require explaining a lot about the place I'm from and I don't even know where to begin.

[grancenturio]

Perhaps it is a story for another time, then.
