"I don't really like the idea of it, but I'll use it if I have to." Robin said to Cybil glumly.

OoC: Off for a bit.

"Magic is much easier on my world. Watch this." A small flame coalesced in the middle of Heno's palm. "Although my powers was gifted from gods... I think... It is long story. And I'm pretty sure thinking about it will make it so I can't use my magic."

"Oh? But in Calibeth City, I was told the plantlife growing around the area is the result of Calibeth taking mortal form, while this makes it sound that should have been the domain of Avinah. I suppose Calibethian gods aren't necessarily restricted to these specific fields, then?" Timea questioned.

[color=32127a]"Where I'm from, magic is done with computers nowadays."[/color] Mochán stated. [color=32127a]"It used to be done with complex rituals, chanting and all that stuff, but some genius worked out that you can just run a simulation of all that with a special kind of processor, and magic happens much more easily."[/color]
Matilda then said, [color=006d5b]"I have no idea how magic works back where I'm from."[/color]

"What is a computer?... And simulation... And processor. You speak strange words, I do not understand cat."

"... Now can you teach me something, or have you just deemed me not worthy?"

[hr]

Speedy said to Mochán:
"But why do you need magic? Machines do all magic apparently does with their own algorithms anyway."

[color=FFCC33]"Yeah, okay, see, you just have to... Um..."[/color] Topaz started, then sighed. [color=FFCC33]"I'm all out of ideas to trick you with. Unless you can move as fast as me, shapeshift, summon a weapon, or use magic similar to mine, I can't teach you anything. Unless you wanna try fighting me or something."[/color]

"There is a lot of overlap. For example, Avinah's blessing make the earth plants take root in fertile, but Calibeth's starlight helps them survive too. That is why plants in Calibeth City can grow underground." the priestess replied.

[hr]

[color=32127a]"I've never seen a non-magical machine turn objects into data, or produce fire with no fuel. Or, to put it another way,"[/color] Mochán's collar glowed orange again, and a miniature dark cloud appeared over Speedy's head, following the hamster as he moved. Snowflakes began falling from the cloud, landing on top of Speedy. [color=32127a]"Can machines do that without magic?"[/color]

[color=9f2089]"Alright."[/color] Cybil replied to Heno, clearly unimpressed. [color=9f2089]"Still different."[/color] She commented as she flipped another page in the book.

"You can tell me how big you can make yourself. I think it's kind of hard to fight a shapeshifter, and if you can tell me a trick ... against possible others ... well, that would be helpful."

[hr]

"You have an argument with the fuel. But objects into data, and creating clouds, that could people do at home as well!" Speedy said and tried to catch snowflakes with his mouth.

[color=FFCC33]"I normally fight in this form, since I'm slower in every form, and the big ones aren't sustainable."[/color]

"A human form, you mean? Or is there something different about you right now?"

"If I might be so bold. Most computers like Magic Eye here, can do billions of computations at once. It's an intelligence probe. One of its functions is to collect mapping data. It's been cataloging our progress since we began. Magic Eye, if you will, show them a hologram of our journey's path, starting from day one."

"Assembling data... projecting from eye terminal." And over a square meter, their journey was displayed with all the visible mountains, valleys, and oceans all in detail, with a bright red line showing their path.

"None of what it's doing here is magic by any strict sense. This is light and electricity. But it might appear to be magic to some people."

[color=FFCC33]"Yes, a human form. Gosh, you should have thought about how much of an inconvienience it is to everyone else before you went blind."[/color]

"I did not go blind, I was it already when I was born. Blame my parents, then." Anik said, then she went back, closer to the group, and memorised that the human form apparently was one good to fight in.

She said: "I hear you are still talking about magic. So, is there a trick I could learn while we're on the way?"

"There is no such thing as magic like anything in fantasy novels where I come from. The only things that are magic for the society I live in are the unexplained and unexplored. We have machines that use lasers to cool objects instead of heat, create 3 dimensional projection of images like the ones shown here, send wireless transmission of data across vast distances, and even analyze an object's substance without even touching it. Maybe magic in a metaphorical sense, but not magic by the literal sense."

[color=32127a]"How do you know magic doesn't exist where you're from?"[/color] the cat asked EMily. [color=32127a]"You might just not know how to do it, and if you don't know how to do it then nobody's going to be doing magic. But it doesn't mean it's not there."[/color]
