Yep.

I think I'm going to want to work off some steam by putting arrows in things at some point in the nearish future.

Don't blame you.

Do you want to learn? It's not terribly practical if you don't want to bribe most of a campus with pork, but it's good for emotional regulation. For me, anyway.

I'd probably hit things with combat spells instead if I were going to do that. I didn't develop any, but I remember a few simpler ones.

Fair enough. Want me to wait until Daphne gets back?

Not necessarily, but were you going to teach me appliances?

Oh, right! Appliances. They work a lot like the versions she's used to, it turns out; not exactly but fairly close.

I should be able to figure out some dinner! What ingredients are okay for me to use?

Anything from the fridge or in the cupboards that doesn't have someone's name on it.

Okay, cool. She rummages for unclaimed foods.

Unclaimed foods: exist, including a slightly ridiculous amount of pork.

Okay, pork chops and... can she put together the wine sauce...

Well, there isn't any wine in the fridge, but Idaia knows someone who's got wine hidden in their room and would be willing to donate some in exchange for some of the result.

Oh, is this a dry campus, should I not be asking people about wine?

It is theoretically a dry campus and asking random people about wine is probably not the best idea ever but most people'll turn a blind eye.

Well, hopefully no one catches me making the sauce. What's the legal age here?

For drinking? Twenty-one.

That seems really high.

What is it in--calling it "your" world seems vaguely inaccurate and calling it anti-science-world seems insulting, we should think of a name for it.

Materia. It's in routine contact for various purposes with other planes - all also anti-science - but the one regular people live on is called the prime material plane. And eighteen but it's really easy to get an exemption for a variety of reasons.

What kinds of reasons?

Partial nonhuman ancestry - the laws are outright different for some nonhumans - religious reasons, fae curses.

Religious reasons.

Sure. Are there not religions that would conflict with a minimum drinking age here?
