mental link, day...36? sure.

[ Technically, it came up a few days ago, but Sam's been letting something bounce around in his head to see if the possibility gets less troublesome after he sleeps on it. And sleeps on it a couple more times.

or he's just saying it late so the newbies can hear it too, w/e

It's not getting any less freaky. So, out of left field: ]


( So if aliens can hack our emotions, do we...actually know they can't mess with everything else? Memories? Are we actually who we think we are?

What if there
is no spoon? )

( Yeah. Great. A million more miles away, with even less chance of actually finding out where they are or if they're OK. They're probably being worked to death or used as cannon fodder or something horrible and all I can do is try and fight this stupid war for a group of parasites-! )

[ DEEP BREATH PIDGE. The change of subject is probably a good thing. There's a break in her mental rambling while she tries to focus, even if some of her consternation bleeds through. ]

( Sort of? It's... more advanced in some ways and creepily familiar in others. )

[ The intensity is charming, honestly, so there's no trace offense or judgment on his end. If he's glad for her following the change in subject, it's mostly for her sake. ]

( Perhaps we're closer to your world than mine, then. Technology's typically Muggle territory, but I know enough to know we're leagues behind this. )

( I have a question: why do you call them muggles? )

[ WELL......... ]

( If you're asking after the etymology — it's a bit outdated, admittedly. But it's to distinguish their lack of knowledge regarding the magical world. )

[ Don't make him say it means 'stupid', because it basically means stupid. He's already lost enough points with you kids. ]

( It's not really their fault they don't know, though. You guys actively try to shut them out. )

( To a point. Even Muggles who are aware of the magical world remain removed from it; they will never know magic. )

[personal profile] greentech 2016-10-14 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
( Why would they need to be removed of it? )
cur: (Default)

[personal profile] cur 2016-10-19 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
( Because they'll never be able to practice it. Knowledge isn't enough, unfortunately. Magic is genetic. )

( Just because someone isn't born able to do something or doesn't want to, doesn't mean they can't study it. It's not like aviation engineers are all pilots. )

( That's true, I suppose. I'm sure a few of the Muggles that know of magic's existence have made the effort. )

[ And, after a slight pause: ]

( It's not a novel idea, taking down the walls between our worlds. But it might be better achieved when our politics are— )

[ Less violent? Voldemorty?? ]

( More stable. )

( So I guess things are very unstable right now? What do wizards even fight over? )
