Hey everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate.

I was wondering if people would be willing to talk to me about magic. If it even exists where you come from - if it doesn't or it's just a myth that's cool too, we can still chat - how it works, stuff like that. I got here at the beginning of the month and I've started working at Gramarye Magic Reseach so I guess you could say I'm curious? Magic seems to have different rules in different places for different people.

[ Okay, that was a lot to get out all at once. Caleb takes a breath and smiles. (It's not a bad smile.) ]

Even if you don't know the rules or you just want to lament about a lack of fried turkey or something, we could talk about that too!

[ He gives a little wave to the camera and shuts it off, but there's an addendum in text added to the video post in about 3 minutes: ]

PS - if Chase Collins gets himself arrested or on someone's shit list, can somebody let me know? Thanks.

We have pretty short lifespans, I guess, and hope springs eternal.

[dothelokimotion]

I am aware.

[ Steve is much like that, after all. ]

Who knows what the future brings.

[wiccecraft]

Definitely not me. [ Caleb smiles, and gives a little shrug. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki clicks his tongue, bemused. ]

Why the interest in magic?

[wiccecraft]

Well, I'm supposed to research it, for one.

For another it's...part of my history and I want to learn more about it, how it works, how it doesn't.

[dothelokimotion]

You'll not find those answers by asking every mage in this city. All you'll get is perplexing answers of different worlds. Which might prove fruitful, but it'll not teach you the history of your own. That is a journey only you may undertake.

[wiccecraft]

Yeah.

Unfortunately, all the books, the genealogies, and the histories were left back home. I thought this might be a good way to get people to talk about magic, too.

[dothelokimotion]

It might, but your question is rather . . . broad.

[ Though unsurprising if this man knows little of his history. ]

You'll get answers, but they may not help you find your own.

[wiccecraft]

[ Caleb considers that, and doesn't shrug but it's a bit of a near thing. ]

Yeah. Mine will take time.

[dothelokimotion]

But perhaps not that much. As I said, Gramarye is well established.

[ Is he boasting? Probably a little. ]
