I was before, but I'm not now, am I? A life for a wish is a pretty good deal. People kill nations in pursuit of what drives them.

[ he's gotta upsell his product here. ]

I know you're not asking me to tell you what the spell is just so that you can try to ruin it, are you? I will tell you that I have and would do anything to complete it. That I know what I'm doing and accept all the consequences.

[vivens]

How am I supposed to ruin something that I don't understand? Magic doesn't exist in my world; it's just in stories. However, I know what it means to have resolve and to do anything for it.

[ sabo will have a bit of a laugh here before he sobers up and sits up a bit straighter. just as ish had been serious, here is sabo doing the same. ]

People will raze entire countries to get what they desire; some of it justified but most end up being for selfish reasons. For me, the only thing I want is for everyone to be given the chance to live freely and free from unnecessary suffering.

[ ... ]

If I were ever to kill for you then I wouldn't ask for a wish in return.

[calamitish]

Humans are creative with a penchant for destruction.

[ he cants his head slightly, earring jingling. ]

You might not ask, but I'd need to give you something.

[vivens]

[ ....now he wasn't expecting this. ]

Really? No exceptions?

[ hmm. ]

Could I defer it to someone else?

[calamitish]

No exceptions. I mean if you stuck with that, I'd just need to give a wish on your behalf. But deferring to someone else I could do.

[vivens]

I'd be curious as to what kind of wish you'd grant on behalf.

[ he chuckles. and...might be seriously considering this? whose to say. ]

Is it possible to use my wish to interfere with another person's wish? Obviously not your's since you wouldn't allow that, but someone else here.

[calamitish]

Hmmm....no. That'd just be raining on someone else's parade in a way I can't endorse.

[ he ignores the first bit. ]

[vivens]

[ wow?? how dare you ignore that question... still, sabo does learn something interesting. ]

So, there is some level of integrity that isn't restricted to strict requirements.

[calamitish]

Yes? I'm not a robot, I have feelings too!

[ this is like the funniest thing to say, but he seems to mean it. ]

[vivens]

[ ...pfft. ]

Right, suppose that's true.

[ he'll have a laugh at ish's expense. ]

Though it's possible for robots to have feelings too.

[calamitish]

Is it? I've never met one before, only heard of them.

[vivens]

[ a firm nod. ]

Yeah.

I haven't met them face-to-face myself, but there is a great scientist in my world who has created multiple robots who embody aspects of him.

[calamitish]

So he's using his power to make more of himself? That's what some people do with magic too.

[vivens]

Power? If intelligence is considered a power, then if you look at it that way... Yes.

[ sabo is 1000% honest when he says he doesn't understand magic. ]

Unfortunately, since I haven't met them face-to-face, I can only share my own experiences with them from a distance, but talking to them is no different than the two of us here.

[calamitish]

Hmm...I'd have to meet one. It sounds about as crazy to me as that "web" that has nothing to do with spiders that I've heard about.

[ technology is wild. ]

[vivens]

Web?

[ me in tears... one piece can have robots but not the internet. but...okay, this is important to him. ]

For as long as you've been alive and with the magic that you possess, you've never considered exploring other worlds?

[calamitish]

Hey, I was the youngest attendant! [ whatever that means. ]

I've been busy in my own world until recently. This magic to traverse worlds is pretty new to me too.

[vivens]

Youngest attendant? I guess you don't look much older than myself.

[ sabo is going to want to know what that means. ]

And when you say you've been busy, does that not include reliving this timeloop with the rest of us..?

[calamitish]

I'm under two thousand.

[ he's olddddd. ]

Before that. None of you are from Ecumene. The time we've spent here is a fraction of my life and that includes the three hundred years I spent sleeping.

[vivens]

[ age is just used for perspective on things!!! ]

...sleeping?

[ he snorts. ]

First I hear about you being unpracticed in certain magic and now I'm learning about how you spent 15% of your life sleeping.

[calamitish]

Things like that happen when you're young and stupid.

[ even he can admit it if he frames it like such. ]

[vivens]

Does this mean that you've passed your rebellious stage of your life or have you not given it up?

[ it's okay whichever it is. people could say that sabo's never stopped... ]

[calamitish]

[ proudly: ]

Never given it up!

[vivens]

Then that'd make the two of us.

[ about being rebellious, he means. ]

[calamitish]

Hahaha, well, everyone has a little bit of a rebel inside of them. It's a pity that most of them don't express it more.
