Greetings.

While I've been getting wizard training at the wizard school - which, wow, I never expected to say that - I've been thinking about something lately. Really, it's kind of been on my mind since I got here and talked to some people.

I'm curious. How many of your worlds have magic? What's magic like there? Is it the same here in any way?

How are people who use magic treated where you're from?

Only monsters use magic where I'm from, though monsters where I'm from aren't like the monsters here.

Basically this is scientific curiosity. Or magic curiosity, I guess.

i think it definitely does exist where i'm from, but it's mega super rare, and like 99.9% of people don't know anything about it

[4got10]

Have you seen any kind of magic before then?

Most people where I'm from don't know anything about it either. It doesn't keep them from being afraid of even the mention of it.

[charming_jerk]

maybe magic, maybe supernatural powers, i don't really know where you draw the line, you know? i know about it because i had them. most people are just human where i'm from, but i'm not. i don't think it's a thing humans can do

[4got10]

I think that might be more common than not in a lot of places. There's always that small fraction that's human, but not quite.

Did other people know? Can I ask that? How'd they treat you?

[charming_jerk]

did they know i wasn't human? oh yeah. it's really obvious when you see me. i kinda scare the shit out of people so they usually reacted kinda bad.

[4got10]

I'm sorry. That's the way a lot of humans are.

They think too much with fear, even when it's someone or something that has no plan to hurt them at all. Maybe it's a defense system, I guess. Or maybe they're just jerks.

[charming_jerk]

it's fine. [It's not.] i'm used to it at this point. and while i still get some looks n shit on this world, it's not nearly as bad as back home

people just don't trust the whole "demon" thing and honestly i can't blame them. idk if they have them where you're from or what their stories are like, but it's bad shit. even tho i was raised by humans as a human it doesn't matter to people

[4got10]

I don't know if it would matter. Humans tend to put the worst names to things they fear and hate.

[The word 'demon' still has specific connotations where Chara is from, but they no longer really matter to Chara. Not after their own branding, or seeing how the monsters in their world had been branded and how different they were than humans said.]

If you're even a little different, not fully human, you're a monster to them.

It's nicer here in that regard, I guess. I'm not used to seeing humans and other creatures living peacefully with each other.

i've lived on a couple of different worlds now, and the one where people were shittiest about this sorta thing was my home world. but it was also the one that was least diverse. so. there's probably correlation there

i like this world tho. i hope we can stay here.

[4got10]

Can't say that I want to stay here. But it'd be nice if the people who got to could.

I have too much to go back home to.

I guess, in the end, I really am lucky.

[charming_jerk]

we got to stay in Crystallis, when everything was finished there. but i guess they weren't finished after all, cuz now we have Vaikuntha. i guess stuff never really ends, it just takes a break. it would be nice to be able to relax for once, tho
