My father invented a device that allows me to phase through solid objects. Unfortunately it hasn't shown up here yet.

[fallenambitions]

I've...never heard of such a device capable of doing that. What does it look like?

[intangible_girl]

He made it for personal use, so it looks something like a belt. It creates a field that affects myself and whatever I am wearing. Though, technically it works through a combination of technology and magic, so I don't know if it's quite what you were after.

[fallenambitions]

I see. Combining technology and magic is not an uncommon practice in my world, but never been used in a way that you've described its function.

I can imagine the possibilities that sort of device could lead to. [like sneaking into an enemy base undetected] No side effects?

[intangible_girl]

Is that so? In my world it is considered something of a... well, it's usually not done, let's put it that way. My father was the first to try a practical application.

No side effects that we're aware of so far, and I've been using it for almost two years. [Just to get around, Alexei. Don't get any bright ideas, okay?] Granted, there are quite a few problems with using it to begin with. I can't tell you how annoying the prototype was.

[fallenambitions]

...It's a not widely accepted practice. Something like that?

You didn't have people getting stuck between objects did you? [...horrible thought, really]

[intangible_girl]

Something like that.

And, no. More like, being completely intangible means you can't touch anything, including the ground. That was... not pleasant.

[fallenambitions]

Ah...I can see the problem now. Did you father create it for a purpose or more personal interest?

[intangible_girl]

Certain... circumstances mean that wearing the modified version is the only way I have of leaving... leaving my home.

If I'm going into a subject you're not comfortable talking about, please say so.

[intangible_girl]

No, it's alright. [She's really more upset about her current situation, which is far less stable.] It's fascinating research. I was glad to have been an inspiration for my father.
