I'm rather surprised it was so easy to get housing here. I now find myself the pleased owner of an Air Shire estate. Nevertheless, it's even more pleasant considering how accommodating this place seems to be. Despite the rather unfortunate way we had found ourselves waking up, with little to our names, and little knowledge given. The trip here wasn

I've found a job working at the magic shop. It's quite fascinating. The magic here is rather different than it is on my world.

[evilisnotatoy]

Is it now? And how's that, pray tell?

[the_old_music]

You need to use objects to control any sort of element.

[evilisnotatoy]

What do you use, then? And what's this of elements?

[the_old_music]

We don't use anything. Those with the ability to use magic - non-Muggles - simply use it at their leisure.

[evilisnotatoy]

Of course you do. A snap of your fingers or some rot?

[the_old_music]

Well, we have to think it for it to happen, or we'd be setting things on fire and causing thunderstorms left and right. But we don't have to raise a finger, really.

[evilisnotatoy]

Your magic works purely with elements, then?

[the_old_music]

Elementalists are one thing. Sorcerers are quite another.

[evilisnotatoy]

Well, I'm a wizard. And my professor has mentioned that the guild round here is a ruddy waste of time.

[the_old_music]

You have a professor? How interesting. Magic really is quite different on your world, it seems.

[evilisnotatoy]

Of course I do. How else is the moral majority meant to learn the varying charms and defensive spells?

I could have told you that from purely the elements alone.

[the_old_music]

Shame. I'd assumed the wizards from your world were more... [ A long pause here as he thinks of a word. ]

[evilisnotatoy]

Independant, perhaps? I assure you, even the greatest wizards need a bit of nudging in the right direction. Myself, I needed very little assistance.

[the_old_music]

Not independent. Self-sufficient. But good for you.

[evilisnotatoy]

Either way. The point is made. We also seem to have control over a bit more than your lot.
