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.]

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.
