Man... I don't even know where to begin.

[ except he totally does because that's literally his job in the entire game - to provide exposition. ]

It's a little depressing, y'know? How 'bout you tell me about your world for a change? I wanna know how better other people in different worlds have it.

[nerine]

Hm. Well...

[How do you describe a world that you've only just discovered that there was more to recently?]

Basically, there are several continents, many countries, and many cultures and subcultures. I live in a relatively prosperous place, but based on your background, that's up in the air. But I'm fortunate even if I'm not part of a wealthy and upper-class family.

And then I suddenly found out that magic and psychics existed and then not only that, other worlds outside my own. It's been a lot to take in. So I might sound casual about a lot of things but I have plenty of room for shock and awe.

[gradenine]

[ ahh. a nest kid, in other words. she's more and more like chesed... must be the coffee. ]

Magic? That really exist?

[ he actually sounds a tad surprised, that. magic is almost unheard of in his city, and all the weird abilities that a select group people can do is only possible through the power of the mind. ]

[nerine]

It exists on my world. But most of the non-supernatural population aren't aware of it or they think it's stuff of fiction.

For me, I found out when I met my current boss, the owner of the cafe.

[Iona is rather odd for a witch in that her spellcasting isn't all up to snuff, but she packs one hell of a magical punch.]

I became friends with her and she hired me on since she knew I would be able to keep all the magic stuff a secret.

[And of course her own secrets as well.]

[gradenine]

Ahh, I get it. It's hard for most people to wrap their head around, but you're different from the others, right?

[ he hums in acknowledgement. okay, okay. so it's kind of like keeping company secrets, or the fact that you can wield E.G.O easily. either way, that's cool. ]

So... Can you use magic? I've never really seen anyone use it up close before.

[nerine]

[She dismisses the notion very quickly. ]

Me? Oh no, I'm not a witch. I can't do any kind of magic.

[And really, nothing stands out about Monts, save for being a pretty young lady but one can find pretty anywhere.]

I just have excellent customer service skills that are applicable for any customer from any world!

[gradenine]

Well, can't argue with that. Better a barista than a Fixer, in my opinion.

[ he chuckles, takes another sip of his coffee. ]

At least everyone here seems nice so far. Sure, there are some prickly types, but no one violent enough, I figure.

[ hahahahaha ]
