 ...hello? [You have a finger poking at the screen.] Oh, is it working now? Admittedly I'm pretty awful with modern technology, so I might as well be talking to an empty room or broadcasting to Cthulhu's cage in the deep reaches of a cosmic gap...

Anyways...is there some sort of instruction manual for these? What are we actually supposed to use them for? Some kind of secret mission? For fun? [She scratches her head.] Maybe I should show Genji. He seemed pretty down when I told him not to come to Makai with me...

Or I guess I could ask a question, if anyone is actually seeing this. What do you know of youkai? Magic? Do you have it, wherever you are?

[Scream.]

Magic users are a lot more upfront and obvious where I'm from.

[oceanicbutterfly]

They're probably more common as well, I'd imagine. We're secretive about it because it's unusual, and most people are happier thinking of us as normal.

[lotuslegend]

You mean you're generally amongst humans without magic?

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's right.

[lotuslegend]

So it's more like the Outside World, then...

[oceanicbutterfly]

...I suppose? I don't know anything about whatever world you're referring to, so...

[lotuslegend]

I guess that's what people call the "regular world"...where there's normally no magic, with a mostly human population.

[oceanicbutterfly]

That describes my world, certainly. What about yours?

[lotuslegend]

We take in what people don't believe in anymore.

[oceanicbutterfly]

...huh. So, youkai, and the gods of old religions, and such?
