A little. I just have to figure out the rules, though. That's all.

[ ... ]

Is there magic in your world?

[turbulency]

[ good thing we get a rule book tomorrow! ]

Something like it. It doesn't really help me understand what's causing all this though.

Have you looked at the Bible in the Church?

[killies]

[ 🙏 bless 🙏 ]

That's what I've been hearing from other people...

I looked, but I can't read it. Can you?

[turbulency]

No, but I only looked at it briefly.

Did it give you any visions?

[killies]

... No?

[turbulency]

Oh.

[ huh ]

I heard it gave people visions, but I guess not to everyone.

[killies]

I haven't spent much time looking at it, so maybe that's it.

[turbulency]

[ he shrugs ]

Neither have I. It seemed pretty cursed.

[killies]

I just thought it was a waste of time. If I can't read it there's no point in looking at it.

[turbulency]

Yeah, magic doesn't always work in ways that make sense. I'm assuming occult stuff is the same.

[killies]

It's just about figuring out what logic it follows.

Magic and occult stuff is all the same to me.

[turbulency]

You're really particular about rules and logic.

[killies]

Isn't that the obvious place to start figuring things out from?

[turbulency]

... I guess. I mean, I'd hope so. Maybe it's just where I'm from, that everything feels chaotic.

[ he's from a shounen and its full of nonsense ]

[killies]

Things are chaotic where I'm from, too. There's still a lot we don't understand. But that's why it's important to try and find out.

[turbulency]

I don't think you're wrong.

I just meant that we might have to pursue something that doesn't seem logical at first, because it might make sense later.

[killies]

That's true. I'll keep it in mind.

... What sort of stuff is going on where you're from?

[turbulency]

[ he's silent for a moment, trying to figure out how he wants to even start explaining ]

People just... Have all different kinds of abilities. Sometimes they make sense, and sometimes they don't make any sense. But they're life threatening either way.

[killies]

So like... Magic stuff?

[turbulency]

Yeah, basically. Don't get me wrong, a lot of it makes sense.

... But there's some things that really don't.

[killies]

Like what?

[turbulency]

For example... there's one teleportation technique that you master by understanding physics.

There's another that you master by clapping.

[killies]

Why would anyone learn the first one instead of the second?

[turbulency]

You don't have a choice. Your technique is specific to you, like how you can't choose your genetics.

[killies]

So some people just get lucky. Like being born rich.
