That's probably it - but I'm a bit curious if other people received weapons or the like. Have you heard that apparently there is an 'antimagic field' of some sort at play?
But they must be real to some of the people here. If they're talking about them, that is.
[ even if they don't understand it, it's someone's reality. she's felt that way once before, and now... that strange, bizarre concept is part of her daily life so... ]
Mm, precisely so. And it's because there's so much variety in subjects, yet consistency in the suggestion of alternate realities, that the theories have to be accepted.
[he normally holds about 1% skepticism around - but given the past day, he's down to 0%.]
So we must accept that we are all probably from different worlds, with different levels of magic, and different time periods.
... a drug? It must be quite influential if there is a term for the children of those who ingested it. [but if she's being this slow to give information - ] But if it's unpleasant, I don't mean to force you to share...
[ circumstances out there shitting on the mood... terrible... ]
I’m not really an expert on it, or anything. I only learned about it myself ... a couple of months ago, roughly? It was used in a war, but I don’t think the people who made it and ordered its use expected long term after-effects from it...
I suppose that wars do bring out that nature in people from time to time. I'd say I hope that it's nothing too painful, but I'm not sure how well the context lends itself to that.
It... has an ongoing impact, and that's about all I can say with any real confidence.
I don't think either side of the whole thing is entirely in the right, but as with a lot of things a lot of people who shouldn't and didn't need to be involved get pulled in. And they usually suffer the most.
That is the unfortunate truth of the matter - those without power are often beholden to those with it, and those with power are frequently blinded so they cannot even see the pain they inflict.
[he doesn't sound pleased but also... not particularly surprised]
I hope your life was as untouched by the conflict as possible.

Hm... I can only think of what might be unique to my country - I'm afraid that I haven't gotten the chance to leave the continent, much as I'd like to.

Although I guess three items isn't really enough to decide that.

A what field?
no subject
Ah, yes, that's how I felt too.
Magic didn't exist in your world either? It makes me feel a little saddened we weren't invited to the party.
no subject
[ but she had seemed very distressed about it, so?? ]
I'm not sure what I'd do with magic anyway.
no subject
[but he wouldn't know what to do with it in execution, aside from a few tricks. and even then, he'd rather rely on normal people's power anyway]
But a lot of concepts here, even when theorized and tested, can feel a lot like a mad man's ravings. So I don't blame you for your surprise either.

What's a Twilight?
no subject
The reflection of the sun after it's dipped past the horizon?
no subject
Mm. No, we're definitely from different worlds, Mister... -- [ ... oh wow they never exchanged names, did they? ]-- uh.
no subject
[he offers that much easily]
What's the correct definition of Twilight?
no subject
Children and descendants of people who took Celebrar.
no subject
[since she sounded confused]
May I ask what Celebrar is....?
no subject
I'm Alex. [ it only took them like 24 hours to do a proper introduction, it's fine. ]
It's a drug.
no subject

I live in Ergastulum. I have a Twilight for a roommate.
no subject
Ah - then regardless I wish you both well.
no subject

Maybe.
[ BUT ANYWAY. ]
What about you, though? You don't know about my world so you must have your own unique "home" as well. Tell me about it?
