[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.

[krazed]

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?

[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.]

[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?

[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?

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]

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.]

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.

[thearchangel]

Wait, really?

You're serious?

[Because this would be a first, here.]

[infiniteban]

What? What do you mean? 'course I'm serious, I ain't a liar.

[he'd like to say you could ask anyone from home and while he thinks Jack and Jerry MIGHT back him here Travis did participate in a mob that once-upon-a-time tried to kill both those guys (though primarily Jerry) because he was blinded with passion towards a cause he thought was just

so

y'know

he's not always on the right side]

[thearchangel]

[The embarrassment is probably palpable.]

[Garrus Vakarian and the Constant Awkward Unintended Metaphors.]

[thearchangel]

It's just been a long time since I ran into someone here who was familiar with races other than humanity. So I'm a little surprised.

[Hardly anyone brought here seems to know other species exist. It's been a long time.]

[infiniteban]

[oh well he was thinking an ally of all sorts like Girl Power!™ and uh

well he doesn't know a ton else in the echo chamber that is his small town but if you don't go around murdering innocent people (and being the raging asshole that Miller turned out to be) you're okay in his book

but he could easily tack aliens onto that no problem, he had a bunch of arms and was a crazy abomination recently enough--a fever dream, sure,

and there's a manshark in Solvunn so what're you going to do really

and dogbats back home

he's got an open mind he's here for you!! but wow sorry to burst your bubble buddy he didn't mean to]

Familiar is putting it strongly I wouldn't say I had any firsthand accounts, I don't wanna be getting your hopes up or anything, but I'm not so close-minded to think there's nothing else out there, I know there's unexplainable things.

[that he's tried to hunt OH OKAY he's gotta be more careful now okay shit]

[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?

[carmesi]

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