When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West
Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October
[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!
In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

His past life was an elf, but point is, magic and supernatural stuff wasn't common, and when it popped up, people tried to keep it under wraps.
[He shrugs.] I like the way you think, though.
no subject
Magic was pretty common where I'm from. The only people who can't use it are the merfolk. But I'm two worlds removed from home right now, and one of the nicest people I've ever met was a dragon in the last interdimensional shithole I was in. The way I see it, I'm pretty sure the only things that are always evil across every world are gods. Might as well keep an open mind for everything else, right?
no subject
[He flinches a bit at the idea of gods being evil - because frankly, he's got a solid relationship with his - but he can't exactly call her out on it either.]
Supernatural stuff seems more common around the Fleet period, but maybe I'm noticing it more because it wasn't a Thing back home.
no subject
That's probably it... I can't really imagine what it's like to live without magic.
no subject
[He's thought about it, sometimes, upon realizing that he's descended from one of the most powerful warlocks in existence - but it's never been his reality.] Can't say I mind it much, though. Healing magic makes my job easier - and when you've got monsters to fight, a little of it goes a long way.
no subject
What's your job?
no subject
I also worked at a church for a long time, but that's not really... related to healing people.
[Literally, at least.]
no subject
What's a church?
[She sounds completely serious about that last one.]
no subject
[You know what, that is not the strangest question he's gotten, so he stares at her for a couple of seconds before trying to think of a clear-cut way to explain it...] A church is a place of worship. On Earth, they were also places for the community to get together and organize things.
Depending on your faith, you'd call your worship place something different. So you've got churches, synagogues, masjids, temples... a whole hodge-podge of things, really.
no subject
... Temples? Like the ancient ruins?
no subject
[He has to pass, sadly; vampirism isn't compatible with any kind of magic.]
Only the old ones, but those're more museums and tourist attractions than places of worship.
no subject
So... Your world still has gods, then.
no subject
No one really knows. If we have gods - or a God, they've been MIA for a very long time.
I think we've got one, but He's pretty off-hands and lets people do their own thing.
no subject
[Sorry, Stefan, she's from a JRPG world. Whoever heard of a god that wasn't a final boss?]
no subject
But mostly, He created angels and jinn. Angels watch over us, while jinn are kind of like other world's ghosts? They can interact with the human world, but not too many people can see them.
no subject
[Okay that's. weird. So... It punishes people, and it created monsters? If it's creating ghosts, it's smiting people then turning their ghosts into its servants? So it's bad after all, right?]
Okay, I don't think I understand, but if it's not evil, I'm probably not going to...
no subject
Nah, not evil. I'd classify God as more "lawful neutral." He has rules set out that He wants people to follow, but it's up to you to decide whether you'll follow them or not.
He's kinda got a bet going on with the Devil, and that's mostly what I mean by indirect punishment. You follow the Devil, and crappy stuff happens along the way...
[sigh] I could teach a whole class on this, really.
no subject
no subject
It's like... people can either follow God's rules, or they can follow the Devil's rules. Which isn't exactly a problem while they're alive, but it becomes one when they die. [Or so the stories go. Stefan can't say if he believes in them, since he's kind of a vampire.]
