[unluckly]

Well, that was one hell of a welcome. The beach? An awesome touch, really. My jeans are still fucking damp. Thank you so much.

Alright, fuck it. I’ll bite: what the hell is going on?

[That’s right, folks, another new guy. Given the whole situation, he looks pretty calm. And is that a horse behind him?]It’s been too long to be one of those shitty

Comments

[magerights]

Well... I suppose it's better than being too upset about things. But I'm not certain you should be taking things that lightly either.

Have you been told much about this place yet?

[unluckly]

I've heard there are monsters and there's a guy that doesn't have a clue what video games are. Am I missing anything?

[video] this was totally on my first comment too

[magerights]

Well, you could make that two people who don't know about these video games. ...are they like card games played over this computer thing?

[video] sorry, Anders. :c he's offended by a lack of technology.

[unluckly]

[A blank look.]

Wherever you guys are from, it sucks. Computer card games are ancient now.

[video] it's okay, I would be horrified by the idea too XD

[magerights]

[Just staring right back because seriously how can you even like these computer things?]

It isn't all that bad, and I don't see why these- [He gives the phone a nudge, making the picture jump.] -are all that special. They're handy for talking to people without having to go find them, but that's about all I can see using them for.

[...this is because he doesn't know any of the other functions yet.]

[video] he'd be pretty amazed by the DA world. magic wins over computers.

[unluckly]

[Because he's a teenager from America. How can you live without them? Seriously.]

Yeah, that's because that's about all phones are good for. Computers, though... you obviously just haven't discovered internet porn yet or a good PC game.

[video] Anders will just have to give him a demo some time then

[magerights]

Phones? I thought this was a computer? Only... smaller.

[It's yet another indication that he doesn't know all that he probably should about these items.]

Maybe I should try and learn more while I'm here. Though... perhaps I'll skip the games and other things. I don't think I'll have much use for them.

So I take it you're from a place that uses a lot of these sorts of things?

[video] he's just trying to recruit to his cause. I KNOW HOW THIS GOES. i used to play fenris. fff

[unluckly]

I think you'll be learning about 'em where you want to or not, considering we're all using them.

And yeah. Everyone's got all of this back home. It'd be weird that someone didn't.

[video] ffft THEN MAYBE YOU'RE JUST BITTER. MAGES ARE CLEARLY THE BEST.

[magerights]

Well at least it seems easy enough to use, I suppose. At least when it comes to these video ones.

So do you think this could be like your home, in that case? Maybe not the same island, but it could be the same world, couldn't it?

[video] STOP TAINTING LUKE, ANDERS. I KNOW OF YOUR KIND.

[unluckly]

Sure, I guess so. All this shit looks pretty much like what we have... except the crazy shit. Like the spirits and parasites.

Is it that different from where you're from?

[video] NEVER. HEY LUKE, I BET YOU THINK MAGES ARE AWESOME, RIGHT? RIGHT? LETS BE BFFS.

[magerights]

Actually, the 'crazy shit' is almost like what I'm used to. We don't have anything like these little computer phone things, but we do have a lot of other things like spirits and demons and magic.

[video] he would. :c FENRIS, HOWEVER, IS FROWNING AT ALL OF THIS.

[unluckly]

No shit? If we were on this messed up island, I'd doubt that shit a lot more, but...

I guess that's sorta cool.

[video] too bad Fenris isn't here :| Anders has plenty of time to get people pro-mage!

[magerights]

And I think if I weren't here, telling me that something could show me moving images of a person some distance away and allow me to speak to them would be just as difficult to believe.

Although, I don't think many people think things like demons are that good. Or at least they really shouldn't.

[video] and then fenris can show up and tell them all the bad things mages do. :|

[unluckly]

Back in the dark ages people in my world used to think the same. Except they still didn't have monsters and shit.

Magic and shit is cool.

[video] Fenris is just biased /hypocrite mage powers activate

[magerights]

I suppose that's true enough. Just not the demons part of things. I only wish other people were as appreciative of magic and mages.

[video] And what about that Chantry. B|

[unluckly]

Wait, you're saying people aren't appreciative of magic?
