@everyone

does any1 know what the deciding factor is 4 the mages dragging us in2 this world?
there doesnt seem 2 be much of a pattern…
we have just as many supernatural/superhero/magic types as not
theres adults as much as theres kids (sorry not sorry to all the teenagers: ur still just kids, deal w/ it)
so whats the common denominator
whats on their checklist

personally i think its a requirement 2 be super hot if ur summoned
every time we get together 4 some swanky party hosted by someone its like a fucking hollywood extravaganza
this is not a complaint but it IS weird right
like are we being fetishized by the natives???
(THAT gets real weird when u think abt the teenagers tho Y I K E S)

thoughts/opinions?
(do we think they even specifically get 2 choose who they pluck out of their lives or is it all at random?
magic is chaos, right??
come @ me research bros ik ur out there)

I am an academic, yes. But all of this is subjective--you can't measure it accurately because too much of it involves personal opinion. Preferences. Very unscientific.

Seriously. I had an extremely religious upbringing. And bad fashion sense.

I wore Victorian style nightgowns when I was twelve.

I mean I still do sometimes, but in my defense, they're very popular here.

I wouldn't say I'm important or anything. But me and my sister were in the middle of some weird things right before coming here.

Of course, it could be the hot thing except you called us kids which is kind of a mixed message for that.

We have a version of it, though it's used for games rather than any kind of magical practice. I've come to understand that some things are constant across worlds, with slight variation. This seems to be one of them, and they do seem to hold some kind of power here, at least when it comes to finding the signature of a person.

Each of the factions have a preoccupation with the Singularity. We don't know the reasoning that compelled them to look past the veil between worlds. All I can guess is that they are trying to use us to turn the tides in an inevitable war, one that has yet to come.

Sadly I'm not even surprised.

Might be useful to have though to keep track of those that have been here when they're not.

There is no science to that.
It's all by birth. It's not as if anyone does anything to make it happen. It's chance.


[ Okay, technically, for a short time it can be tailoring but they're not talking about that now. Or openly. Not as if his cheekbones are tailored, after all. ]

There's my worst nightmare come to life. You and Jesper teaming up.

There are a number of pretty women about, aye.

All right, what does fetishized mean?

I am employed by a lord whose lady will not let me alone.

Important to my family, when they were still my family anyway, isn't the same as important to the world. We didn't blow up the moon, but reality kind of broke and history changed.

It's complicated.

But if your theory is that all the summoned are hot, you have to include all the people with teen in their ages. Which means you have to have an opinion on if I'm hot or not. Which I don't want to know, and you don't want to think about.

We changed history, part of that was who our parents are.

It's complicated.

How many people in your life have you thought were unattractive?

A kind of sense. It is troubling.

They say they bring us here for what we have done and what we may be, but I am not sure how true it is. It doesn't seem like most of the people in Castle Thorne have that sort of feeling for us, though.

You think Ambrose might?

The deciding factor lies not in ourselves but in an outside force. Society hastens the creation of medicine during times of need. There is a similar reason that answers why we were summoned.

In short, my answer to your question is "necessity".

I just don't entirely see it personally.
Nor do I want most to see me as attractive. It only matters from two people.

I don't need people distracted by my looks while I'm beating them.

Maybe.

Talking about it doesn't really change anything. I can't fix it while I'm here, and I can't fix it without my sister. Better off focusing on what I can do here. Mostly trying to get to know who I am now.
