We are interested in available data on topics: magic, theology.

We are willing to provide compensation for data if desired.

I've studied a fair amount of magecraft and can cast well enough. I can explain how it works in my world of origin to some extent, though I'm not much of a teacher if that's what you're looking for.

Theology is a different matter. Again, it's something I've looked into, but I can only speak for my own world and not this one, and most of it would be relegated to stories and the like as opposed to actual proven fact.

Unfortunately, that's I have for now - explanations and the results of my own studies to the best of my remembrance.

[forwearemany]

All of this is acceptable: data on potential variation between worlds, and the difference between belief and reality is also valuable.

[ideismo]

Of course. Is there any way you would prefer this be done, then?

[...Like, are we just going to be doing this here and now, or.]

Our residence is located on the second islet. It is a suitable location for data transfer.

(That's usually where they do this sort of thing.)

[ideismo]

Ah... Likewise, though it's a recent acquisition on my part.

[So. Neighbors, apparently. Charming.]

I'll gladly see you whenever you like, then.

[forwearemany]

Acknowledged.

(They had initially chosen the island for it's lack of population, though that has changed over time.)

We are the mechanical construct residing in the cottage decorated with drawings.

(It's possible that he may have seen Legion meticulously maintaining those same drawings. Even in the case of damage sufficient to destroy them, perfect memory enables them to be duplicated.)

We are currently available.

[ideismo]

Of course.

I won't ask for any compensation as far as goods or direct services go, though I'm wondering if you would find it acceptable for me to ask some questions of my own as well.

[forwearemany]

Affirmative. We will accept this.

We anticipate the exchange of data.
