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.

[mistruths]

But baseless faith is no faith at all.

[fateality]

I prefer to think of it as a gamble, I guess.

[mistruths]

Do you tend to lose often, then?

[fateality]

Ooo, a cruel zinger.

But in all seriousness, are we gonna talk magic shop, or do you want adorable banter?

[mistruths]

You called me adorable and that's set my heart's all a-flutter now. I don't know that I'd be capable of finding the proper words to speak of magic.

[ pause, and then the next text: ]

Though I suppose I wouldn't be opposed to properly speaking with another practitioner about the craft.

[fateality]

Real cute.

I'd appreciate it. What would you be willing to share?

[mistruths]

It's hard to find the words for it, and I mean it genuinely so. It would be as though... As though trying to explain the laws of music to a man whose world speaks only that of logic.

[fateality]

I suppose I see what you mean.
Is there another way to share that kind of knowledge, then?

[mistruths]

Would you be opposed to perhaps exchanging information face to face? I would like to see what sort of magic you are familiar with and, perhaps, compare it to that of my own.

[fateality]

[Admittedly, Twisted Fate hesitates. He's not always thrilled to share his magic, and likes his secrets.

But he knows what he wants, too.]

Sure. I can work with that.
Where do you want to meet up?

[mistruths]

[ There is no way Loki will share information without getting something in return; that much, at least, is probably easily guessed. ]

So long as we are at the castle, I can most often be found in the library.

[fateality]

I can be there shortly.
Twisted Fate's the name, by the way. Charmed.

[mistruths]

Loki.

--> action??

[fateality]

[Ah, so there are two people named that. Lucky or unlucky, he isn't sure, but he makes no comment.]

I'll be seeing you in the library shortly.

yehhhh

[mistruths]

How will I know you?

[fateality]

I got glowing eyes and a big hat. You'll know it.

[mistruths]

Very recognizable, I'm sure. All right.

action, baby

[fateality]

[All too quickly, Twisted Fate is able to appear into the library. Literally.

There is an odd pressure in the air by one of the tables, and then with a snap he transports himself inside. Fate scratches himself under the chin, sniffs, and settles his weight against the table.

He could have asked what Loki looks like, but he's not terribly concerned. They'll find each other.]

[mistruths]

[ though they've arranged to meet, Loki doesn't make any changes to what he's doing, choosing instead to go back to the book he'd been reading. Not long after (though if you asked specifically how long, he wouldn't be able to say), Loki raises his head, eyes narrowing at the unfamiliar way the very air seems to grow denser, seems to warp and twist. ]

[fateality]

[Twisted Fate tips the brim of his hat up, his glowing blue eyes peering out from underneath. Well, the man reading is the only other one here, so:]

Loki, I take it?

[mistruths]

You take correctly.

[ Loki shuts his book, folding his hands above it as he takes in the new arrival. ]

And you are Twisted Fate. Well met, good sir. That is quite a name you have.

[fateality]

[He gives a tip of his hat.]

A little dramatic, I suppose, but it fits.

In any case, I'm more than happy to provide for our little exchange, and I figured doin' a small demonstration on what I can do might be a good lead-in. [The teleportation.]

[mistruths]

So I see. [ He dips his head in response to the hat-tip, though he doesn't move to stand. ] Does everyone from your home have the ability to perform magical tasks?

[fateality]

Not at all. I'd say it's probably split 'bout 50/50? An' a good lot of us have different kinds. Hell, I'm not even 100% familiar with all of it; some regions are a little more hush-hush with what they can do.

[mistruths]

I can certainly see how that might be the case. It's much the same where I'm from, though the practitioners of the craft from each Realm would work differently with it. Still, it isn't impossible for one to learn the tricks of another race--assuming a teacher could be found who is willing to impart their secrets.
