[What is this flat chested child talking about...]

And what do you deem 'intelligent' input, precisely?

[balls_on_fire]

[DON'T YOU DARE VOCALIZE THAT DESCRIPTION UNLESS YOU PUT NO VALUE IN LIVING...]

Look, all I've gotten since I started asking around is a bunch of blank stares! As if nobody around here ever knew what the word magic meant. It's a suffocating atmosphere, you know? I need to be able to exchange a little know-how with some people with know-how. Different know-how, even, since I'd bet a whole lot that the properties of magic aren't exactly like those old goats back home are teaching it.

[of_arabia]

[He thinks he could take her. Although. That is... probably not actually true.]

I suppose that depends on what it is they've been teaching you.

[balls_on_fire]

[mmmhhh.] That depends, though...

[she wags the pencil at the seal a couple times.] Compare and contrast! That's what I want to do. I've been nosing around in these books for a few days now, but I'm not seeing anything referencing a demon god or power source that's viable around here. Most of these stories contradict each other, anyway. So I'm not going to have much of a jumping off point when it comes to magic here that way. It's easier to find out just how things work for other people who grew up with magic somehow.

[patchworkdoctor]

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!

[hisfathersstaff]

[Negi hadn't been checking his seal for a while but the mention of magic. Taking the hint, he clears his throat on his end, activating the video.]

What kind of magic miss? I've got some experience in that.

[balls_on_fire]

[waving the pencil carelessly.] Magic! Does it matter? I'm not trying to be picky over here.

[hisfathersstaff]

Well I'm pretty good at Western and some Eastern magic, mostly theory, spell building, research... I guess I could help out. What seems to be the problem miss?

[balls_on_fire]

Problem? [hand + pencil wave.] No problem! This is research! And you said you're into that, so this'll be right up your alley, kid!

Here, look. [shoving a parchment with a diagram on it.] Any of those symbols mean anything to you and your research, huh?

[Hi! Remember me? That shitty kid who rained cakes on you?]

LAMBO IS A MAGICIAN!!

DAMMIT

[balls_on_fire]

[OH SWEET MERCIFUL NO--wow she couldn't even keep herself from making her face on the double-take--]

[balls_on_fire]

[okay moment over.

sigh.]

Kid...You're no magician.

OH hi lina combo

[milkytolerance]

Lambo is totally a magician!

[surpassheaven]

["INTELLIGENT INPUT" YOU SAY?!]

I'M HERE!

NOW DO STUFF TO ME!!!

[balls_on_fire]

GYEAUGH! [OH GOD WHY

SCREAMS, FLAILING AND FALLING BACKWARD FROM HER POSTURE.]

[surpassheaven]

.......

Not very graceful, are ya?

[balls_on_fire]

Sh-[grah. fumbling back to sitting-up mode, gnashing teeth.] Shut up! What do you expect when someone starts screaming like that, huh?! You're a complete jerk! Why do you have to yell like a crazy person every time you talk to me?!
