"Presumably they've interacted at least a little, though. Pax and Genoshan are from completely different universes! Actually come to think of it it sounds an awful lot like Anglic in some ways..."

first-and-final

"Well, we have analogous species, I don't think it's that weird that we also have analogous languages."

powerispain

"Makes sense...this is a sentence in Anglic."

first-and-final

"Are you going to make me learn all the languages you speak?" he asks, grinning.

powerispain

"Not if you don't want to, but I am curious if Pax and Anglic are more than superficially similar."

first-and-final

"Well, I'll see how I feel about it when I've known Genoshan for more than a day."

powerispain

"Fair enough. I am astonished by your retention rate."

first-and-final

"I cheat."

powerispain

"Ooh?"

first-and-final

"Well - that was mostly a joke, but the brainspace thing does help a little."

powerispain

"Fair enough. I wonder if there might be some way to replicate your thing..."

first-and-final

"I'd be careful, if I were you. If you do figure out how to copy it somehow, you might not be able to undo it afterward. Fairy curses are a bad idea to mess with."

powerispain

"Copying the effects and copying the thing itself might be differentiable, but noted."

first-and-final

"Yeah, might. Don't rely on anything having to do with a fairy curse working out nicely in your favour, that's my advice."

powerispain

"Ugh. I mean, yes, I suppose that's sensible, given the givens, but ugh."

first-and-final

"Wait until we're gods," he advises.

powerispain

"But extra brain makes becoming a god easier!"

first-and-final

"Wait until we're closer to being gods, then."

powerispain

"Fiiiine."

first-and-final

Giggle.

powerispain

"What are gods even like, where you're from? Besides objectionable."

first-and-final

"They're... gods. I don't know."

powerispain

"Mostly I'm curious if religion is similar even though we've never been able to prove anything. Well. I'm a monotheist, so I'd be at least a little dissimilar regardless."

first-and-final

"Yeah, there's a pantheon. It's hard to just describe gods, though. They're... very powerful people who all have the divine letter 'kh' in their names and don't like it when you mispronounce said letter. They're the ultimate source of divine magic, which does healing and a few other things."
