informal poll for you guys. if you had to choose, is this place more like:

a) fantasia, from the neverending story
b) oz, from the wizard of oz
c) wherever the hell it was with the muppets and stuff, from labyrinth
d) wonderland, from alice in wonderland

[ The question might seem like a frivolous one, but the answers should actually be pretty informative, and it's way more fun than just asking people to describe what this place is really like. ]

i feel like mad tea parties are a lot better in theory than in practice.

what kind of magic? i'm new, fill me in.

[finethanks]

You would be surprised, I'd like to think.

As far as magic goes, I haven't been here for very long myself, but I've met a variety of people who can use their own types of magic. On top of that, I'd say that the portal that pulled us here is some sort of "magic" rather than just science, wouldn't you?

[franciscoramon]

not necessarily

where i'm from there's a saying that any technology that is sufficiently advanced becomes indistinguishable from magic. so even if i don't know the exact tech they must have used to open up the portals and bring us here, i know some scientific theories about alternate realities, and how different universes occupy the same space but vibrate at different frequencies.

so maybe it was a little of both?

[finethanks]

What an advanced sounding future you must come from. I only wish I could be able to see it. Science that cannot be separated from magic... that's something that interests me greatly.

I wonder if it really is that? It would make sense. Their medical technology is fairly advanced here, as well.

[ Cisco's about to argue that it's only a theoretical saying, but he stops himself before he can actually type it. When he thinks about metahumans, and breaches to other earths, and all the other crazy stuff that's happened in the last few years... it probably would seem like magic to anyone not in the middle of it like he is. ]

happy to tell you more about it sometime, if you'd like.

[ Because goodness knows Cisco needs only the flimsiest of excuses to talk science at someone. ]

yeah? like how, though?
