[seal, you are propped up on something just below eye-level to the sorcery genius sitting cross-legged on the cabin floor. sorcery genius has some yellowed, old parchment in one hand, the business end of a pencil in the other, gnawing on the eraser. she looks like a kid stuck on one of those crummy story problems in math

My abilities might be considered magic here. [They're not.]

Magic-users on my world are almost entirely female, with few exceptions.

[balls_on_fire]

[scowl.] And so you lump every magic-using girl into the category of witch, right. [YES. STILL SORE ABOUT THAT.]

[patchworkdoctor]

Yes, actually. [HE REGRETS NOTHING!]

Haven't we been over this?

[balls_on_fire]

Khh-! [CRUMPLING PAPER IN HAND...

NO. HMPH, INSTEAD.] That's your loss! Being so rude to a sorcery genius won't do you much good!

[patchworkdoctor]

It won't do me much ill, either. [smile.]

Witches are a race. It's simply who they are.

[balls_on_fire]

Well I'm not a witch, alright?! Try to keep that one straight! Sorcery. Genius.

[patchworkdoctor]

I'm a genius Meister. [shrug.] Your abilities don't really scare me, if that's what you're going for. [He can't tell, since he can't really see souls through video.]

[balls_on_fire]

[GRR.] Shut up for two seconds! HERE. [shoving her parchment into the seal's view. pretty pictures!]

See anything that rings any bells or no?

it wouldn't load for me, orz. So I looked at the tiny Google image and guessed... XD;;

[patchworkdoctor]

.. Looks like it's written in a form of Japanese.

I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT OTL

[balls_on_fire]

Which would be...? [nodding her head a little in that COME ON kind of way.]

THAT'S OKAY. It just means I'm... lol just wildly fucking guessing at this point XD;;

[patchworkdoctor]

[he raises an eyebrow.]

A language?

[He's not bothering to read it. :|a]

[balls_on_fire]

[making a face. ALSO HERE IT IS IN A NOTBROKEN LINK.]

Is that all?

[video] oh my god I can almost read this chart, I know runes. @_@

[patchworkdoctor]

[he sighs, switches to video and leans closer to the screen, and is quiet for a moment or two. He looks damn tired, and the room behind him is pitch black, the glow of the seal and a computer behind it lighting up his face. A cigarette is smoldering away in his mouth.]

... What looks like Hebrew, and the Norse runic alphabet. It's a chart on the hierarchy of... Demons? Monsters? Some form of evil. There are names.

[As he's speaking, he makes gestures with his hands to the matching points.] A race of evil. Mazoku. A Lord of Nightmares, who seems to rule over...

[He leans back and shrugs. NOW he's interested.] Are you trying to tell me you're one of these "dark races"?

WHAT'S IT SAY...

[balls_on_fire]

[her nose wrinkles at the sight. yick! what a nasty-looking guy! just put up with it, lina. fight on, lina. because apparently he's got something worth saying after all!

she drops the parchment out of sight at the LoN namedrop, giving a scrutinizing look which...pretty much vanishes with another flash of temper:] NO, I am not! You big jerk! That's not what this is about! I'm looking for parallels, here. Parallels! You can read it, right? You just did! But does any of it actually ring any bells?

basically just their places of existing, etc etc

[patchworkdoctor]

Mazoku is a Japanese term that basically signifies people born with supernatural powers. It's based in the ancient Hindu beliefs, translated over.

[he's not sure what she's looking for, exactly.]

[balls_on_fire]

Ancient true beliefs?
