"And this is why you need self-sustaining magical objects!" says Milan.

That's lovely but their magic cannot do this.

Permalink

"Sure, maybe it can't, but maybe you can replicate the important effects some other way, or invent interplanar studies and find some magic somewhere else that'll do it."

Permalink

This leads to a new thread of furious debating.

Fun!

They get distracted enough that the whole group ends up getting kicked out of the dining hall when dinner's over.

Permalink

Milan feels proud.

Permalink

Constanza's certainly impressed.

"Nice work. I don't think I've ever seen them in this much of a nerd froth," she says.

Permalink

He giggles. "Nerd froth. What a vivid phrase."

Permalink

"Isn't it just?" she laughs. "So, do they have patter-dancing in Strange Magicland or is this your first time?"

Permalink

"They don't have patter-dancing in the Imperium! It would be kind of hard, magic doesn't work the same way at all." Pause. "...I'm going to miss skirmish, I don't think there's a safe way to play skirmish here."

"Fake war, basically. But with very realistic fake weapons, made using a self-sustaining magic item called a mockbox. Mocked weapons deal illusory injuries, up to and including illusory death, that fade after the end of the match with no lasting harm done."

Permalink

"Well. I don't know if such a thing could be done here, but if it could, you seem to have fallen in with the right crowd, between the nerd froth and Future Great Mage Odette Zavier."

Permalink

"I like this crowd! It's a good crowd."

Permalink

"And somewhat more attractive for having you in it."

Permalink

Permalink

"Nothing."

Permalink

"If I'm making you uncomfortable I can stop flirting."

Permalink

"I'm not exactly uncomfortable, more - surprised? This doesn't happen at home."

Permalink

Snort. "Because I'm conventionally unattractive by the standards of my society?"

Permalink

"Huh. The scars are a pretty unusual aesthetic choice but they're visually interesting and I can tell that you're super cute under them."

Permalink

"They're, uh, not a choice."
