[Kutner wakes up on the morning of the seventh, feeling woozy and with the headache to end all headaches, but at least he can remember the past week and a half CLEARY now. And in response to that week and a half now sitting in his head ... ]

What was that?

[Loss end! Thanks for playing with me, and backtagging is awesome.]

I believe that was one of the "losses" I've heard so much about. I was convinced I had known you for years... yet now I know I'd never met you before. ... This place may be even more powerful than I originally thought.

[prodefibrillist]

Yeah, well, I knew this place was powerful, and this wasn't my first loss, but I've never had anything like that happen.

[abletothink]

For what it is worth ... you were an apt pupil. I had never had the experience of actually teaching someone, before.

[prodefibrillist]

Thanks. I'm glad I picked up something.

[abletothink]

Simply out of curiosity ... can you still cast anything?

[prodefibrillist]

Probably not. My world doesn't really have any magical qualities.

[abletothink]

You haven't tried? ... I would think that after possessing such power, the first thing someone would do would be to see if they still had it.

[prodefibrillist]

While it would be cool if I did? If I still had the ability it wouldn't be a loss. Plus, it might take away some of the awesome of this place, and I wouldn't want to do that.

[abletothink]

["some of the awesome". ... give him a second to make sense of your slang. thankfully, Hanna already told him the modern Earth connotations of 'awesome', so it doesn't take long]

So you enjoy being here, then...?

[prodefibrillist]

I do. It's way more interesting than where I'm from.

[abletothink]

Mm. ... Why, how did you occupy your time there?

[prodefibrillist]

Video games, movies, hanging out with friends. Work.

[abletothink]

... "Video games"?

[prodefibrillist]

Yeah. They're computer generated games?

[abletothink]

[he's seen your "computers" and found them nothing more than heavy books for people with attention issues. disdainfully]

And the point of them?

[prodefibrillist]

They're for fun.
