to all; post-event

[thearchangel]

Right, so. That was a lot. But we probably don't have time to unpack all that crap. So, easier things first. I'm looking for someone who knows about ... magic.

Specifically the kind to "enhance" something.

[He almost leaves it at that, before his brain reboots, and realizes exactly how that sounded -]

Senses. Enhancing senses. Like sight.

Specifically sight.

So, there's like magic all around us, right?

This and that and little things you can learn - apparently.

I'm still getting the hang of it myself. Magic was around, sure, but it was holding hands with science and they weren't just roommates.

I know a lady here. Total dreamboat. She's got the magic wrapped around her finger and I don't mean that in the poetic sense. She makes magic her bitch.

Maybe I can refer you to her. She teaches me once a month and makes sure my learning's up to snuff.

[thearchangel]

Yeah, that's what they keep telling me. I'm not exactly the uh. The best with it. It's not a thing where I come from.

But I'll take what I can get. Does she have a name?

[krazed]

What's that silly old saying? Practice makes perfect? Just a dumbed down version of "Hard work pays off." You know, the one with the training wheels on it!

Her name's Julia.

[thearchangel]

Hard to practice when you barely know where to start. But I'm open to it.

What are training wheels?

[krazed]

An extra set of wheels you put on a bike to balance out the kids when they're learning to ride.

So not familiar with bikes or magic, what else aren't you familiar with?

[rookvision]

So I'm well aware this is probably the least helpful response, but.

Why do you need to enhance sight, of all things? What exactly is it that you need to be able to see? [Is it just a little enhancement of sight, or is there something more specific underlying this? Jacob thinks of his own second sight, the eyes of the eagle that let him sense intention, and wonders.]

[thearchangel]

I'm a sharp shooter.

Whatever that... weirdness was, messed with my sight. I need it fixed.

[rookvision]

"Weirdness" is putting it a tad lightly.

So what, exactly, is going on with your sight that's strange enough to interfere with your sharpshooting?

[thearchangel]

It's

It's not

I got hit by a rocket. On one side of my face.

[Please do not make him say it, this is embarrassing.]

[rookvision]

How in god's name does one end up in with their face in the path of a rocket? Is it really just your eyesight that's messed up, or do you need a bit more medical attention than that?

I'm Sorry

[infiniteban]

Oh, specifically sight, okay. You sure you're not looking for Magic Viagra? No shame, no shame. I bet it exists here. Maybe there's a God For That.

But sure, don't worry, I'm sure there's something for sight, too.

[earthborn]

That's not an issue, here.

He's sure.

1/2

[infiniteban]

How do you

2/2

[infiniteban]

[NOPE look sometimes he can learn to not put his foot in his mouth, even if it's already a bit too late]

Cool that's good for him.

[earthborn]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[infiniteban]

[he's not very smart]

What stupid game?

[thearchangel]

[The embarrassment is probably palpable.]

[Garrus Vakarian and the Constant Awkward Unintended Metaphors.]

CACKLING TBH

[thearchangel]

Magic what

wait

no
No I it's actually for my eyes.

[infiniteban]

Have you tried glasses? Do they make those anywhere? That's not magic, that's just, I don't know, science, right? They can so-call bring us all from "other worlds" they can make corrective lenses, right?

[thearchangel]

Glasses don't really work for my face.

They're for humans, usually. And I have no idea if this place has contact lenses.

[infiniteban]

Oh my mistake for assuming you were human. That's on me. I'm an ally of all kinds, you can count of me.

[carmesi]

I've never done it before as permanent thing, but I could try.

[thearchangel]

Is it something you could teach? If it needs to be... recharged or whatever phrase works for magic.

[carmesi]

It's not something that I've tried teaching directly, either.
My magic is — different from the one here.

But perhaps something like a potion or serum is more to your liking?
Something that you can control?

[thearchangel]

At this point, I'm happy to try anything. Learning, potion...

I'm a sharpshooter. This problem is -

It's really bothering me.
