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.

[ :|a ] Well there's probably no point in killing more than we can sell parts for at once... Maybe I can get a lot of wasabi?

An' shide are supposed to help the um, spirit in the thing you put it on stay in there. I think. [ he laughs, and folds his hands up beside his head, or at least his mental image of himself does. (does his mental image project himself as taller than he actually is if he's like, I WANNA BE TALL?) ] I mean, it's not really my jam.

[ wait for it

waaaaiiiiit for it

okay now: ]

It is not your... preserved fruit spread?

... No. Jam as in, beat. Pump up the sweet jams.

[ oh hot reservoir, this is my jelly ]

As in... music?

Yeah! Make sure you use it right if you wanna say it though, okay? [ the phrase, he means. aigis always gets weird about it. ] Think of your jam as like, your theme music. But not literally, unless you actually do want theme music to play every time you show up somewhere new, you know, all like, dun dun da da dun dun dun, dun dun da da dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun da dun dun da dun, dan dan dan dun dan da dun da dun.

[ that was supposed to be the imperial march. ]

I will. [ ... he'll attempt to, anyway. ]

Could theme music be whale song?

[ dear god who let these two meet ]

I don't see why not? Someone might mistake it for a really loud upset stomach, though...

I take it you have not heard many whales.

Not unless it's the whale from Finding Nemo....

[ because if that's the case, he speaks whale... ]

What is Finding Nemo? Who is Nemo? Why is he lost?

Movie, baby clown fish with a gimpy fin, kidnapped by a diver off the reef.

Movie?

[ horrified gasp ] Oh, man, you're missing out, dude! So you know how the lockets have words, and then they have voice, and then they have the moving pictures? Movies are moving pictures that tell a story with super cool special effects and sweet theme music and badass fight scenes and can literally be about anything you want, ever.

I see- what are "special effects"?

[ The rest he understands. Stories, music as they have in a play, fight scenes... ]

Tricks to make it look like impossible things are real; my world doesn't have magic, so it has to use them a lot for the really out there movies, like, set in space and stuff. Finding Nemo is nothing but special effects, except for the voices of the fish.

I would like to see these effects, I believe. You will show me?

Sure! Next time I'm at the Station. Can I just give you another one of these and call?

[ the next one is going to be made out of instant ramen cups, hell yeah ]

Of course. Or use the lockets.

[ with the ramen still inside? ]
