text | open to both courts

[ The message that comes across the network is abrupt, as though the sender thought about sending it and simply did with no further thought. ]

I wish to learn more of the magic of your worlds, of this world. Not only how it works but how to use it.

I can offer a trade, should you require it.

[ After a moment, there's an addendum: ]

If you do not wish to discuss such things over the lockets, dedicate a shrine to the Outsider. I will know. We will speak there.

What kind of trade? Information for information?

Or magic for magic.

It's not going to be as simple as an Undetectable Extension Charm, I imagine?

I am not as powerful here as I am in my own world; any magic that I could give would wear off. I would offer bone charms or knowledge of rituals.

Bone charms?

I can offer potions, enchantments and charms, if there's something you need.

Carved tokens with magical effects for the person who bears them.

Perhaps not need, but I am curious. I am the source of all magic in my world; I wish to know of other types.

I want to learn to. I've read a little bit about Drabworld magic and to see things from other places I'll never get to experience would be amazing. I have a few books from my world, if you're curious?

I would be most interested, yes. I would not need them for long; I do not sleep, and so do most of my reading at night.

Then we can make a trade. Do you want them all at once?

Whatever works best for you. I am [ insert pause here ] flexible.

I'm not using any of them apart from my potions books, so you can borrow the rest as soon as you like.

In that case, where should I meet you?

Anywhere neutral is fine.

Considering local unrest, I would suggest the Station, then.

Have you experienced microwaves?

That sounds perfect.

I have, yes. They're very common in my world, actually.

When?

I expect they will be in my world, at some point. Still. They are quite interesting.

Any time you like. I can apparate (teleport) so I'm able to get there really quickly.

Does that mean you haven't experienced a fridge?

Within the next few days, perhaps?

I have experienced similar, though the ones at the Station appear to be upgrades. Their telephones are the same way.

Perfect. Just let me know.

Oh, they have telephones too? What about ovens?

Yes, though it is the same as the refrigerators.

May I ask - do you know about rubber ducks?

I do not, no. I assume they are... ducks made out of rubber?

Exactly. It's just- sorry. Last time someone I know was learning about technology they were very concerned with the nature of rubber ducks.

Do they have a purpose?

Entertainment, mostly. Little children play with them in baths.
