[evocation]

hey to all the new kids.
i'm kyna. i'm a wizard, which means i can use magic, and i've been offering lessons and shit.
i know half of you are going to start with that whole "but magic doesn't exist" stuff or "i can't do it" but i've got a 100% success rate, so save the negativity.
my thing is mostly evocation, which basically means i can set shit on fire or zap it, but i know a lot of defensive spells, too.
i'm not teaching anyone any necromancy or anything, so if you guys have more cool ideas to go lich or want to try some other stupid shit, find another teacher.
everyone else can step right up though.

p.s. don't vote for the ice planet

it's not about taste, it's about strategic advantage and getting intel.
if that's all you're worried about then maybe you shouldnt have a say.
because some of us have actual priorities.

[evocation]

strategic advantage?
you mean like hiding from a bunch of fucking robots on an island?
last time i checked electronics and water don't mix.

[circumitus]

neither do electronics and subzero temperature.
and at any rate there are ways of combating arctic weather without freezing your tits off.
and we're in a place with fucking gods and magic fuckers like you that can probably make heat easier.
myself included except my shit isn't magic.

not arguing that the island doesn't have its advantages either and it has some useful shit there. just dont tell people not to vote for something because you don't like it.

[evocation]

yeah, because you want people like me dumping all of our energy into keeping us alive in the god damn arctic.
you don't think the only city on the entire planet in a frozen wasteland isn't going to stick out?
and then all of us "magic fuckers" who used up all of our spells keeping everyone from freezing or starving to death on an ice sheet won't have any juice left to actually fight.

[circumitus]

then maybe the gods will get fed up with people bitching about freezing to death and do something about it to make the city more comfortable.
either way fuck off, even if you think you're being cute saying that shit we'll vote whatever the fuck we want to for our own reasons.

[evocation]

yeah, because the gods really give a shit about us, and being even more reliant on them is exactly what we all need.
sorry i offended you with my big scary opinion, dude.

[puzzlingly]

we might end up there at some point
from what sorrow said anyway

「So... there is no point on getting worked up about it.」

[circumitus]

[Rey gonna get worked up]

keyword is "might"
but if we end up on some muggy ass backwater jungle instead of someplace we could retread some actual answers out of because people cant get over their fucking climate preference, someone is getting punched in the eyes.

[puzzlingly]

its not worth it

[circumitus]

it was bad enough having to listen to people bitch for over two fucking years about anyone voting for a god they don't like to be resurrected.
now it's probably going to be about this shit every few months.

[Yes, Rey. Isn't pseudo-democracy grand?]

[puzzlingly]

「Yeah... try explaining democracy to an ancient Pharaoh, good luck.」

sounds like it
but i would have thought that after two years youd know what to expect

「Why beat the dead horse? Rey, buddy, there are better ways to spend your time.」

[circumitus]

[Fat chance, Atem.]

whatever.
done with this fucking conversation and these people anyway.

[Consider that horse dead beyond all beatings.]

[puzzlingly]

Live and let live, friendo.」

i was once at the arctic
well inside virtual reality... ill tell you about it someday

[evocation]

i gave you way better reasons than just "it's cold and i don't like it"
but stay up on your high horse if it makes you feel better

(also i am so sorry for her just, sob)

[circumitus]

really, because it just looked like a lot of more complaining to me.
people have lived in subzero temperature for millennia without needing magic like many assholes here have and they managed fine.
but if that's what being on a high horse is to you, then you can eat shit.

LMFAO IT'S FINE

[evocation]

yeah, not easily. and i'm not super into the idea of scraping out a living while trying to fight a bunch of murder robots.
but i thought you were all about people voting for what they wanted? or is punching people for voting for the planets you don't want totally okay because you don't approve?

she gets so easily aggro it's insane.

[circumitus]

since when has it been about what's easy? unlike the people before, we've actually got resources that they didn't, like parasitic god things that'll poof whatever we need if we give someone warm fuzzy feelings. you think they'd let us consistently freeze to death if they couldn't get anything out of that?

it's about shutting the hell up about telling people what to vote for. we wouldn't even be having this conversation if it weren't for your fucking frivolous addendum.
unless you expect everyone to just lol it off and if that's the case, you really should reevaluate who you're stuck here with.

rip this convo

[evocation]

yep, they probably won't let us freeze to death, but like i said, i don't want to have to rely on the gods to walk outside or wipe my own ass.
that's just another thing for them to hold over our heads if they want to keep us in line or something. or if half of them fucking die again and tell us they can't help until they heal up like last time.
and i know this place is full of a bunch of murderous assholes with no chill, but thanks for the reminder.
