How's about a preplay?

You guys know how it's done. Tag in with apped characters or characters you are going to app, tag around, have fun.

Comments

[countingmagpies]

That's different from knowing someone and able to talk to them instead of reading what they left behind.

His comments could be very mean.

[countingmagpies]

We don't have magic where I'm from, but we imagine all the different ways someone could have it. Books and scrolls are common methods

[constantasthenorthernstar]

There's your answer. You are spawn of dickhead.

[countingmagpies]

Does it matter after 500 years?

[whenceyoucame]

Yeah, see, that's where you get the spells from. Then you say the words and they're cast...

[constantasthenorthernstar]

It's not even memory to you. But it's still my present.

Who cares, though? Humans are generally awful things. Your grandfather just deceived nobody about his true nature. It's honest. It's good.

[countingmagpies]

Could anyone that says the right words be able to cast the spell?

[brightlywound]

It's a saying... Anyway, we'll all need to be strong up here.

[whenceyoucame]

You need power. The right kind. And to be the right...type? Of person, I mean. If you're into swinging swords around you won't be able to understand the subtle parts of magic - powerful elemental spells and that.

[brightlywound]

Oh. Always stay the same.

[brightlywound]

I suppose you're safe on that front for now.

[brightlywound]

Do you really believe in fate?

[constantasthenorthernstar]

Yes, on a ship that flies through the cosmos and provides us with free food, free bedding and free education. I'm incredibly fearful.

[brightlywound]

Is it that shocking?

[brightlywound]

I'm so sorry. I'm certain your grandparents are worried. Aunts? Uncles?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT

[brightlywound]

Fine.

[countingmagpies]

It could be a legacy, but no one even remembered who he was until I found the trunk and looked through a family tree.

I suppose so.

[brightlywound]

Don't sell yourself short.

[rightest]

Oh yes. I will miss her. But I suppose it would be too dangerous for anyone with a blood/alcohol level as high as her to be in space. Explosions, and such.

[brightlywound]

I suppose that's something.

[countingmagpies]

So it would be biological. That does bring in the question of nature versus nurture, and whether the power would come from something inherited from your family or something that you are raised to understand and used. Is it inherited through families?

[brightlywound]

A mage? Like in the video games?

[brightlywound]

It's good to see someone from my world.

[countingmagpies]

There is quite a variety of people here.

Where are you from?

[whenceyoucame]

...Hello, I control water. Is that better?
