I don't know if I ever watched much TV.
There was a historical drama Yura liked?
It seemed interesting, but I started halfway through, so it was pretty confusing.

[delincuente]

ew like little house on the prairie
or more like mad men
my mom likes that one

[experiencepoints]

I have no idea what those mean.
It was a love story of some kind?
Between a human and a Beast Tribe, set near the start of the Tyrfing era, when the species were going to war.

[delincuente]

yeeeeah i don't know what any of that stuff is either

[experiencepoints]

You explain first.

omg i haven't done alex tags in so long forgive me ;-;

[delincuente]

well idk about mad men
just a bunch of men talking
and they're probably mad
but little house on the prairie is this totally awful show about a bunch of wimpy kids
living in the armpit of nowhere usa before there were toilets or lights
and they keep getting diseases and cutting off each others braids and stuff
i was like the only girl who wasn't obsessed with those books growing up
but then
i didn't read so

no worries!

[experiencepoints]

That sounds incredibly dull.
That's all there is to it?

[delincuente]

yepppp
just a lot of sappy shit about family and friendship
and people dying of the common cold
and too much dirt
and they made it in the 1970s but like
didn't even bother to hide the kids braces and stuff

[experiencepoints]

... 1970s?
I'm not sure what that means.
No one in your world can cure a cold?

[delincuente]

forty years ago
awesome decade
but admittedly tacky
and i mean duh we can cure it now
but this shitshow takes place in like
the 1800s
before people washed their hands

[experiencepoints]

What about healing magic?

[delincuente]

yeeeeeah that's not really a thing on my earth
like i mean we have magic ofc
but it's a secret

[experiencepoints]

Oh, right.
Why?

[delincuente]

idek dude
it's the stupidest thing
like it took years for my parents to let me even tell my best friend
it's like they're worried someone's gonna tell the government
and we'll get locked up in labs
but really i think they'd just ask us for a ton of stupid favors

[experiencepoints]

You're probably right.
Back home, my mother is an archmage.
She just gets contracted to do shit like maintaining wards around the city and blowing up any monsters who get too close.

[delincuente]

man your magic is way more hardcore than ours
most of the wizards i know with magic jobs just like
actually
no
i can't even think of any right now
that's how useless we are
like collectively

[experiencepoints]

It seems like your magic is a lot more versatile than mine.
But... No jobs with magic?
Monster extermination?
Protective wards?
Healing?
None of that?

[delincuente]

we have some of those
but they're p much a joke
my brother was a monster hunter for like a month
and the only one he managed to catch
was his girlfriend

[experiencepoints]

I have questions about that, but I'm also not sure I want to know.

[delincuente]

his girlfriend turned out to be a vampire
except she turned old for some reason
and ran off into the wilderness
with my werewolf boyfriend

i couldn't make this stuff up i swear

[experiencepoints]

The worst part is, I was following there for a moment.
Vampires have an unfortunate way of veing stupidly hot.
And then it went into full "what the fuck".

[delincuente]

i mean that's pretty much what we both thought too
it turned out they dated each other like
200 years ago

[experiencepoints]

I am way too sober to be having this conversation.

[delincuente]

same, girl
and it's been like five years or something for me

[experiencepoints]

Maybe one day it will seem less stupid.
Probably not.
I can't tell if that vampire story is better or worse than mine.
