Now, I'm sure we've done something like this before sometime ago, but you know how it is; people come, people go, and we get new faces all the time. So it's a little hard to keep track of y'all sometimes.

But here we are, and I've god a question.

There's a good lot of us that got magic in us before ALASTAIR made, ah, any offerings as such. Maybe even got some magic in your world, sure.

Suffice it to say, I got some interest in what kind there is -- and what magic is like where you're from. How it works. The variety, the limits.

Always good to know about the trade elsewhere, as it were.

No, not like that. I mean that magic, as something utilized by mortals, has been around for ages in my world.

[And just when it looks like TF is out of luck--]

Not that long-lived magical beings don't exist. Even normal Edenians have lifespans that run into the thousands of years. A lot of them went into hiding once another realm, Outworld, absorbed Edenia, though. [hah.] Politics.

[fateality]

[what luck]

Huh. What are these Edenians, anyhow? You got my attention, snapdragon.

[pummelling]

Well--

[he might not be able to help directly but he is A FUCKING NERD and is happy to infodump all he learned!!!!]

Edenians are similar to humans in a lot of respects, but the stories say that they're directly descended from the gods themselves. They're more powerfully linked to magic, stronger and faster, and, of course, have incredibly long lives. An Edenian could look about my age and be, I don't know, six, seven thousand years old?

Pretty interesting. Thanks to the Outworld Emperor two regimes before the current one, however, a lot of that historical information's been lost to time-- and I'm not exactly on great terms with all three-and-a-half Edenians I've ever met.

[This might be a good score -- if he could somehow make it viable. But Jin's home is another world, and he isn't entirely sure how to make this work.

...If he wants to make it work, admittedly. Committing to this decision means a lot of things, if he goes through with it. Right now, it doesn't hurt to just know.]

Hmm. So what you know about them is kind of off-hand, or based on your less-than-stellar interactions with Edenians?

[pummelling]

The Shaolin archives. [stated matter-of-factly, as if everyone should be aware of the swathes of knowledge available in the Shaolin archives.] I said a lot of the information is gone, not all of it: who and what they are is still definitely known, but I couldn't tell you much more about their specific abilities than what I've already shared. Not without consulting one myself.

What's with the sudden curiosity, TF?

[fateality]

I appreciate it, truly.

Just occurred to me how little I know 'bout magic from other worlds. I got a pretty decent understanding about most from Runeterra, but even then somethin' can up and surprise you.

[pummelling]

You're a slippery man, Twisted Fate. Don't think I didn't notice there turned out to be an agenda the last time you got curious and asked me something.

[btw, the date went fine, thanks for asking.]

Sure that's all there is?

[fateality]

I have no idea what you're on about.

[awesome, but did you get laid]

Sure is, snapdragon.

[pummelling]

[no he didn't and he's just going to make this face even if TF can't see it]

That doesn't sound like a lie at all.

[fateality]

I don't know what to tell you. Unless you got a way of provin' it is a lie.

[pummelling]

Just a hunch. I guess the luck's all with you today.

[fateality]

That's me. Good fortune just follows.
