First Spell

Feb 23, 2011 22:39

[The feed opens with Merlin staring down skeptically at the book in his hands. There’s a moment’s pause, and then he glances back at the baseball diamond before turning back to the book.]

Er-- [He taps it once, making the screen shake, and then leans in a bit too closely, speaking as softly as he can.]

Hello? The man over there said I could talk to ( Read more... )

[Have someone a little less starstruck. Yeah, Merlin's legend might be world famous, but Hitsugaya is only mildly aware of it. Not that he'd care anyway.]

The descriptions and the name are unfamiliar to me, though if any of them are here, I'd assume they're likely to answer you.

[He nods.]

We don't have this sort of-- [A moment's hesitation.] --science from where-- when-- I'm from, so they might not have seen this. Thank you, though.

Everyone who arrives here recieves a device that connects to this network.

[He catches on to that hesitation, though, and figures he knows what Merlin wanted to say in place of "science."] I don't know about at your home, but here, no one would be all that surprised to hear you say "magic."

[He stares in shock at him-- and then, slowly:]

Magic-- magic isn't illegal, then?

Video icy_heavens February 24 2011, 04:35:23 UTC

No. It isn't. A lot of people here can use some form of it. [Including himself, but he doesn't bother mentioning that for the moment.]

Video alwaysforhim February 24 2011, 04:39:40 UTC

Who rules here?

Video icy_heavens February 24 2011, 04:48:34 UTC

The first thing you'll need to understand about the government here is that it isn't a monarchy. Its officials are elected.

The second thing you'll need to understand is that most of the true power lies with two opposing corprations: SERO and AGI. I'd advise you to avoid any association with them, however.

Video alwaysforhim February 24 2011, 05:00:19 UTC

Why?

Video icy_heavens February 24 2011, 05:02:41 UTC

They deal in some reprehensible practices that are surprisingly legal here. SERO in human experimentation. AGI in slavery.

Video alwaysforhim February 24 2011, 05:08:58 UTC

What do you mean by human experimentation?

Video icy_heavens February 24 2011, 05:16:18 UTC

[Yeah, he'd kind of thought that much would be self-explanatory. What's not to understand?] They . . . conduct scientific research on people. Likely involving drugs, dissection . . . I'm no scientist, so I can only speak in generalities.

Video alwaysforhim February 24 2011, 05:27:37 UTC

And people allow it to happen?

Video icy_heavens February 24 2011, 05:32:49 UTC

Few people are pleased with it. But being one of the financial powers in the city helps them get away with a lot of things.

Video alwaysforhim February 24 2011, 05:44:01 UTC

But I mean-- whoever is king-- or, well, not king, but the elected official-- surely he has some say in how things are run?

Video icy_heavens February 24 2011, 07:39:55 UTC

I'm sure he does, but these corporations hold a great deal of influence, and I find it unlikely that he's exempt from it.

Video alwaysforhim February 25 2011, 05:30:29 UTC

[A nod-- and then he blinks.]

Is it safe for you to be telling me these things?
