OTA - Just some random time around now - These Thins Aren't Quite as Nice as Cell Phones

Hey, anyone feel like talking into a rock is the start of some sort of prank?

Oh, that woulda been easy, my dude. We got to test-drive the stones earlier, lil pre-order bonus, and also...we're kinda wizards? Sooo...All I'm sayin is, your prank instincts aren't bad.

[want_to_belong]

...That's makes me a little suspicious of these stone.

Wizards? That's so weird to think. I mean, we have magic, but wizards seems like such a video game or story thing! What kind of magic do you do?

[ohshitsweetflips]

I mean, I do transmutation, but not like, exclusively? I guess I don't really do a whole lot else now, but that's just, thbbbpt, the island. Hey, what are people who do magic called then, if not wizards? Bet it's dumb.

[want_to_belong]

I don't know if there's really a name for it. The royal family has the power to use magic, and they can let other people tap into that, so I guess most people who use magic were called Kingsglaive or are the Crownsguard? It's not really exactly the same as 'wizard', though.

What can you do with transmutation?

[ohshitsweetflips]

Okay, we can talk about my cool powers in a sec, but first you gotta know how terrible those words are. Right? They're really bad, dude.

Anyway, you're gonna love this: I turn stuff into other stuff, with transmutation. It's a really good name for that school of magic. Some of 'em aren't anywhere near-- I mean, what the fuck is abjuration? Not shit, is what.

[want_to_belong]

What? You mean like Crownsguard? It's not that bad! The Crownsguard are cool and get nifty uniforms so you can show off to the ladies. And we... guard the crown, sooooo~.

[Had to defend his honor or something.]

Isn't abjuration healer spells or something? [Video game nerd here.] Can you turn rocks into steaks? Because if you can, I have a great job for you.

[ohshitsweetflips]

Kinda? It's mostly getting rid of stuff, and protection spells, but see you didn't know that from the name. Like how 'Kingsglaive,' I mean, what is that, even? That should be a cool polearm, not a person! These are bad names!

[There's an exasperated huff, like maybe his hair is in his eyes, or he's been asked about steaks one too many times.]

And theoretically I one hundo percent can, and the implications of that are super nasty, but this is Stank Island so no reverse-Flesh-to-Stone steaks for you, my man.

[want_to_belong]

Yeah! Like, the king's glaive! As in, they work as the king's arms. 'Cause the king couldn't do it alone an...

[He paused. That was getting into sensitive territory.]

Well, they fought on behalf of the king. I thought it was a cool name!
How come it'd turn out nasty?

[ohshitsweetflips]

Mm, agree to disagree 'bout the name, homie.

[Does he think a polearm is a kind of arm? You know what, it's probably safest to assume they're both idiots here.]

I didn't say it would be nasty, there's just nasty implications. You want to eat a rock? You ever see a table made out of beef?

[want_to_belong]

No prob.

[He didn't see much reason to argue for the sake of arguing.]

But it wouldn't be a rock anymore, would it?

Or would your magic stuff just make it a steak-shaped-rock?
