[This isn’t the first time Freya is woken up to find her world changed, but she had thought she had put this part of her life behind her. She’s also super annoyed because she’s supposed to be saving her dumb family right now, but apparently she can’t ever have what she wants. Story of Freya’s life.

This is not where she’s supposed to be but she’s too paranoid to place that on the network right away. She buys her time, explores, gets to know things, and after finding her way to a bar for a big girl drink, while she’s sitting there, swirling the straw in her hand, she opens the device and decides to test the waters. She speaks calmly and clearly, but doesn’t show her face quite yet.]

So. Instead of demanding information I'm sure you've all shared a thousand times before, I’d prefer to keep things interesting. If you all don’t mind indulging the curiosity of someone who so rarely finds themselves in a place that is quite so … eclectic, I think I’d like to know more about where you all are from.

Granted, there are many variables that make up different worlds, so let’s not let ourselves get carried away. Beginning with one topic would probably suffice, so I’ve chosen the one that I know best.

[You can almost hear the smirk as she speaks.]

Let’s talk magic.

[action ~ the bar ~ for cami o'connell, but ota]

[The reason she chooses the bar, rather than the safety of her assigned room to make that particular announcement is that she does need someone to explain this world to her and as far as she can tell, there is only one person she knows and trusts here. She would rather hear it straight from Cami, getting potentially conflicting information from strangers.

(She's aware that she's fortunate Cami was there at all - she might have had no choice but to rely on the kindness of strangers - but for how she's choosing not to think about being trapped, alone, in a world she doesn't understand. It's bad enough that her siblings aren't here and she seems to be trapped here indefinitely.)

So there she is, perched on a bar stool like she belongs there, and waiting for Cami to make her appearance. That being said, she's not completely unfriendly, so if you wish to chat her up, she'll be more than happy to talk to you.]

W-Well, uhm, both? It has such a w-wide variety of applications, and m-manifestations, and it exists through it's o-own set of rules within physics and a-atmosphere, so... it's more of a category, than uhm, a-anything else.

... At least, uhm, w-where I'm from, that's h-how it works.

[deathlessness]

I'd say that's a bit how mine does as well, though I have not studied science quite so thoroughly. Perhaps it could be one of my uses for my time here, so I can make better arguments.

[sciencelizard]

Well, it would be a-an interesting thing to study! We do have a lot of t-time here. And, uh, it m-might give you some insight into your own magic, to learn things about o-other worlds.

[deathlessness]

I would like that. I do often tend to be curious about that sort of thing. Whenever you'd like to meet, I'd be more than happy to discuss it with you more extensively.

[sciencelizard]

Oh, I, uh, o-okay! I'm uh, n-no expert about magic in my world, I mean, I know a l-lot of it in theory, not so much in practice, but I can t-talk about magical theory for a while. So, uhm, y-yeah! We c-can do that!

[deathlessness]

Good. Then once I've settled some, I will contact you to discuss this further.

[sciencelizard]

O-Okay! I'll, uhm, talk to you soon, t-then!
