One Fish, Two Fish, Blue Fish Mingle

[heroofcocoon]

Who: The crew of the SS Blue Fish and friends
Broadcast: Not necessarily?
Action: On the lovely Blue Fish
When: Month of October

[With the tragedy of Lyuku and the entire Eyuzi system behind the Fleet, the crew of the Blue Fish and their friends are now settling into a new routine while they drift along in the relative safety of space.

As one of the few ships that didn't suffer a loss of crew during their little excursion, the crew can safely go about their duties, unless something attacks that is.]

[ Don't open your door for just anyone, Billy. Some people don't know when to shut up. Dorian's focus stays upon the monitor until he's finished with what he's doing, but he offers a distracted wave in return that may very well be construed as 'shoo'. ]

Trying to become familiar with all aspects of this station. It's all a matter of repetition.

[selfhelp]

[if other people are talking about themselves it means he doesn't have to, so... that's good right???

Billy's bad at taking hints though so if it's "shoo" then sorry not sorry but he's still here, dude.]

I hear you. I've been taking notes all day on what goes where and which button means this or that.

[fantachetic]

If you've found anything worthwhile, I'd like to see it. We don't have technology in Thedas, but magic's evolution can be compared, I suppose.

[selfhelp]

Sure thing. It isn't anything special, but I can text it to you. I'm Billy, you're...?

[he pulls out his comm, swiping through the contacts.]

[fantachetic]

Dorian of House Pavus. It's a pleasure, Billy. I will take any information you've acquired.

[selfhelp]

On it.

[Tap tap tap aaaand sent. Thank god the comms work more or less like smartphones.]

So, you've got magic where you're from?

[fantachetic]

More than you could possibly imagine. [ There's a lot of magic. So much. ]

I take it you have technology similar to this in your own world?

[selfhelp]

[he questions that, because he can imagine... quite a bit of magic. but one thing at a time, here.]

Yeah, the comms are kind of like the phones we have back home. They work about the same- texting, calling, taking pictures and stuff... like pocket computers, more or less. Probably part of what keeps this place from being too overwhelming.

[fantachetic]

[ There is so much magic to imagine, Billy. Also a lot of bad magic, but. You know. ]

It's certainly that.. [ Overwhelming, that is. Dorian thinks he's picking things up rather quickly, though. ] Also quite marvelous, all of this at your fingertips. There's so much information readily available.

[selfhelp]

[dude he knows, he SO knows.]

Welcome to the modern age. If you get stuck anywhere, just say so- I'm kind of an unashamed nerd so I probably know too much about this sort of thing than is socially acceptable... I don't think the comms are that different.

[fantachetic]

I will certainly keep that in mind. Ideally, I would like to master this as quickly as possible.

[selfhelp]

No worries, it's not rocket science.

...Hey, um. Can I ask what kind of magic you're familiar with?

[fantachetic]

Quite a few different specializations of it, actually. Thaumaturgy and Necromancy are my specialties, though I'm rather proficient in elemental magic, as well.

[ Not so much the healing or defense magic, though he can throw up a decent barrier. ]

[selfhelp]

[wow, geez, that's some oldschool magic terminology. Very Doctor-Strange.]

Isn't necromancy working with the dead and stuff? You don't summon zombies, do you?

[fantachetic]

[ Doctor Strange wishes he were this dashing! ]

It's a common misconception, it can't be helped. Necromancy is less about the reanimation of physical bodies and more about the binding of spirits that are drawn to death.

[selfhelp]

Huh... okay, that's a lot better than I was thinking. Sorry- I guess people must ask you that all the time.

[fantachetic]

It's quite all right, it's difficult to know the parameters without studying the content. Ah. That is a little less frequent than you would think.
