[It's been about a month since this weird, glitchy-looking styled message has appeared on the network, but here he is again. But instead of a list of quiet, seemingly random questions, it's a pretty legible question.]

There are people here from different sorts of worlds, with different sorts of abilities, and experiences that border on the supernatural.

The longer I'm here, sometimes I find it hard to believe this is anything more than a strange dream, or something along those lines.

I understand science and machinery. I don't understand the supernatural, only in the sense of Videogames and Science Fiction.

If you have abilities or experiences that are different from this 'normal' I understand...

Tell me about it.

Your magic, your reality, supernatural creatures or abilities...

I'm interested in that.

got any reason for wanting to know?

What about...

The ability to embarrass everyone within a 25 foot radius?

[bunnyblock]

Are we talking about you or me right now.

[bunnyblock]

'Curiosity' not enough?

[smokedout]

it usually isn't in my experience.

[bottombitch]

[ OH WOW. That shade, Noiz. ]

I think I've met someone whose ability is stronger than yours, yours is like a direct attack, while his is an AOE.

Maybe after you've met him, you'd think better of me ☆

if this is a dream it's hardly the strangest.
Alchemy is a science where I'm from, but here most people refer to it as magic.

[bunnyblock]

It's hard to make a video game realistic when the things in it only exist in my reality.

If I'm creating it here...
It needs to have things that are familiar to everyone.

private

[bunnyblock]

[He was just kidding. Probably.]

An AoE...

Hoh.

What kind of people are you meeting...

How weird.


[bunnyblock]

Makes me not want to wonder about your dreams.

Alchemy.

I've heard of it. And I understand it in theory. But to liken it to magic... doesn't seem right.

[alchemyfreak]

Probably a good idea.

I was in another world before, not entirely like this one but not home. If we're comparing strange worlds to dreams that one would be a nightmare.

Many people call it different things. Magic, outdated science, fiction. I've stopped questioning all of them, after a few years it gets old.

[bottombitch]

[ So's he. Probably. ]

A friend of mine, he's really... something else.

He says he's someone who has already won over the hearts of all his would-be fans that... don't know he's a musician yet?

Even so, can you even talk? You have some pretty weird friends yourself.

private

[bunnyblock]

[Probably.]

....

He should get famous before talking about fans of any kind. That's basic...

[But, that aside: he takes a moment before finishing his response.

A shake of his head.]

I don't have any friends.

Just you.

private

[bottombitch]

It is, but he comes from a large family... I think maybe he's the way he is because with so many brothers, maybe he had to be more dramatic to stand out.

He's weird by extremes, but he's nice once you get to know him.

[ ...Ah, that's -- here he had his hopes up a little thinking Noiz found someone he got along with. Even if that pharaoh guy is the way he is, he would have been happy just knowing Noiz had made a friend. ]

...Noiz, is it okay if I invite some friends over for dinner sometime?

[smokedout]

so this is more vr stuff?

i'll tell you what sorta powers i got if you can convince me it's got anything to do with your game.

To be honest, I didn't even stop to consider this was a dream

I guess I just went with it

[bunnyblock]

Sounds like it's a good thing you're here and not there.

It's vague, what you're describing.

It sounds as if it's something I'd have to see for myself to begin to understand.

[That was too much faith to put in him--someone who'd been a shut-in his whole life and only let Aoba into his circle due to circumstances surrounding Rhyme and the incident in Platinum Jail. He made a very forceful habit of befriending absolutely noone--so even having Aoba with him was strange.]

Having to compete with brothers... I'm not really familiar.

[Which isn't a lie, even if he's not aware that Aoba doesn't know who his brother is. He never had to compete with Theo because Theo was always the favoured child.]

It's your house, too.

You can invite whoever you want.

I'll keep my mess to a minimum.

[bunnyblock]

That's a pretty weird thing for you to demand.

I don't really have an interest in fighting or finding out powers for some other weird reason.

I just want to make my game so I can actually enjoy something again.

[bunnyblock]

...

You just went with it...

Somehow, I think that's fine, too.

Dreams are usually better than reality, right.

[smokedout]

whether you're interested or not isn't really the issue here.

i don't like that information being public. and i'm sure you'll run into other people who are also private about their skillset, so i'd suggest figuring out how to get information like that without making it sound like you're digging for sensitive intel.

[Maybe you're just paranoid, Dodger, have you considered that?]

[alchemyfreak]

Maybe. I'm sure I'll get used to things here too.

Alchemy is the deconstruction and reconstruction of matter. Some people call transmutation magic here, but there's no spells involved in alchemy where I'm from, you can't change matter or make something out of thin air it has to be an equal exchange.

this is relatable content
you think youre something special and then you come into a place where everybody else is something special and you just fade into obscurity
like a mediocre band that didnt really make much of its genre
like i dunno
the nickelback of powered individuals
anyway is there a 25 characters or less limit on explaining things because its going to be extremely hard for me to condense just how bullshit my reality is
and youre not my therapist so why would i make you endure that

private

[bottombitch]

Yeah, yours is a really different situation.

I still can't believe they

[ Aoba's hands start shaking as he types and he accidentally hits send. Noiz' parents really piss him off. Even though he was raised by Granny, at least he had a home with love and warmth and acceptance... even when he was at his worst. ]

Sorry, hand slipped.

I want you to meet my friends, it's important to me that they meet you.

You offer an interesting perspective. You see, magic is rather akin to technology where I come from. That isn't to say it's buildable, such as a bridge, and there are those, such as myself, born with the ability to wield it, but it is measurable. It isn't anything strange or, as you say 'super' natural. It is just as natural as hair or eye color.
