"How much higher is your technology? There had been some efforts to combine technology with magic, but most people from Elsewhere don't care much about anything from Earth. And the High-Library is even more so."

"Oh, so you do have an Earth. Have you heard of computers?" He pulls out his computer and opens a search engine. "This is a good example of our tech. Tell me something and I'll say it in English and it will find information about the thing."

"I actually grew up on Earth." He says switching to English, "But Elsewhere is the best and only place to learn magic. There is no wi-fi signal for miles, but I have a laptop." Temple looks closer. "I'm not familiar with this model or brand."

"...Wi-Fi? Not an extranet connection? No, I think this thing's probably more advanced than yours. It has two hundred terabytes of storage, for example."

"Extranet?" Temple looks at the size of Nick's computer suprised. "My laptop's storage is one terabyte and is a fairly new model."

"Extranet is what they call the internet in 2180."

"Are you a future fairy? What kind of anime has my life turned into?"

"I'm from the present, your rune circle brought me into the past. And I'm pretty sure my eyes are normal-sized."

"And your hair is a naturally-occurring color... and you are not cute girl, unless you turn into one under the right circumstances, maybe it's one of those animes. But seriously, 2180! Tell me more about it? Do you have FTL-travel?"

"Not unless you count summoning. It's mostly just more advanced computing, industry, medicine, space colonies. Fairies make space travel cheap. And fairies aren't very technopathic on average, I'm just a big nerd."

"Just space colonies!" Temple says in disbelief. "Why aren't fairies technopathic?"

"I more meant they're not huge nerds, like me, they just play video games if they get a computer instead of deciding to learn to code. Daeva don't really need to do much if they don't want to. And fairyland is a pretty chaotic place, compared to Earth or wherever. There's not really a government, I think that's part of it. The other kinds, probably about the same."

"A similar situation to mine, but with magic. Fairyland sounds like an interesting place to live. Is there anyway to travel there?

"No known way to visit unless you're a fairy, sorry. I have pictures, though."

"Too bad there isn't an entirely new kind of magic that we could try. Oh, wait."

"...If you can make portals between the realms, you could fix the concordances! We have to try it."

"Fix the what now? Remember, I'm extremely newbie to your world magic."

"Concordances are temporary... Joinings between the realms for the three kinds of daeva, and to Limbo. Their biggest problem is they they are temporary, and don't come very often. If people can visit whenever they want it would fix the mail system, at the very least... The angels and demons will definitely have a little war if you let them visit each other whenever, though."

"Hold on! Limbo? Angels? Demons?"

"...Limbo contains dead humans, or at least dead humans from my Earth. Angels and demons are just people and do not necessarily fulfill the theological expectations."

"I don't know what to make of this information, except that finding a way to gate between those worlds is an interesting project." Temple says before adding. "Minus between angels and demons."

"Yeah, culture is a thing even if the average member of those categories is perfectly pacifistic... I think I'd want something that works like concordances just more often if we make the things public access, and if it can be done at all. To keep an angel or a demon from sneaking into the other kind's domain and causing havoc."

"Sadly gates are pretty hard to aim here. As in 'we can aim to this side of the city' hard. Which is still pretty useful and studying a concordance might give some sort of insight to both problems."

"...Well, the next one is in seven years. Might be a bit of a problem there."

"That sounds extremely inconvenient, yes. I'm still not sold on teaching you magic, or at least not until I have put you under a better divination spell. Your lifeforce is... harder? Like Youth, which is hard but brittle, most of your lifeforce is like youth but also more resistant. It is entirely possible it could result in a bad reaction, where bad reaction includes things like the dead city."
