Detective Notes 01 | Accidental Video/In Person

[Naoto study's the Blackberry carefully, it seemed like an older model of the phone, but still, in a place such as this it was rather odd to see a phone like this. Considering they appeared to be in the renaissance period.]

I wonder why a contraption such as this exists in what appears to be the renaissance?

[She turns it around, the scene you now

Ah... welcome to the Manor. [Tris's tone is a bit... bitterly amused.] This place isn't normally like this, and it seems everyone gets one of these Blackberries. You're now a character in a teenaged girl's horrible story, and the plot changes from week to week. Sometimes they run longer.

My name is Trisana Chandler, and I've been here a while.

So... lets see if I can get this correctly. The people who are here have been kidnapped, by some teenage girl and we are now stuck inside her story?

[As much as she finds that hard to believe, due to events in her life of another world behind the television, it could make sense... in some weird way.]

My name is Naoto Shirogane, and you already guessed that I'm new here. It's a pleasure to speak to you.

[Video]

[weatherbraids]

Essentially, yes. [At least you don't think she's crazy.] A pleasure to meet you, Naoto.

[Chime takes this opportunity to stare right into the blackberry. Yeah, Tris's weird glass necklace? Isn't a necklace. It's a cat-sized glass dragon.] And this is Chime. She was a... happy accident, and my first student made her.

[Okay, a glass thing that moves, now that is something to be curious over.]

Hmm, that's interesting. How did a student manage to make something like that?

Ambient magic like mine- and his- tends to do what it will until the mage has mastered the fine art of self-control. His magic was the 'seed' that gave her life, and then she took her own form. A great many things back home that would otherwise be considered impossible have happened simply because the mages in question didn't know they couldn't. [Tris's hand is going to a black ribbon around her neck. Nope. Totally not talking about herself.]

[caseofthetruth]

I see... so the place you are from, is a place where magic exists in the way in which you say.

[She pauses for a moment, not sure what to really think, so much information in such a short amount of time.]

[weatherbraids]

I could explain it to you a bit later in more detail. In the simplest explanation, ambient magic is magic expressed through something else- such as the weather, cooking, woodworking, or glassmaking.

[caseofthetruth]

Ah, I think I can understand the magic from where you are from a little more. Although it's not something I've ever come across myself.

[Video]

[weatherbraids]

Well, when I was young I'd never even heard of ambient magic, so ambient magic is hardly the end of things back home. But it makes a good starting point.

[Video]

[caseofthetruth]

I'll make sure to have in mind the fact that there is magic in this place.

[Video]

[weatherbraids]

There are all sorts, more than just the kind I'm used to. I could share some of my notes on what I've observed with you, if you like.

[caseofthetruth]

I would appreciate any information that could help me figure out this place.
