003 [Video]

[brat_from_hell]

[Phibrizzo has a magical tome in his lap when he looks into his journal for this video broadcast. It's interesting, the things one can find in the library. He's learned a bit about magic in other worlds.]

Just curious, but how many people here practice magic, or come from a world where people use magic?

[This inquiring mind wants to know. Specifically, he wants to know who poses the most potential threat, but from an academic standpoint, he is sincerely interested as well. In that vein, he shares a little bit of information about his own world.]

There are more people who can't use it than those who can in my world, but it's still common enough for there to be a Sorcerer's Guild where magic is formally taught. A lot of people who can't use magic directly can still use magic objects made by a sorcerer.

[Including brass rackets. He'd like to get some of those here in Luceti and introduce the sport. The chaos and hilarity would be well worth it. But that's not the point of today's broadcast.]

I've also noticed there are a lot of people with powers here. If you have them, are there a lot of people who have them in your world? And if you don't have them, are there people in your world who do have them? I'm kind of curious if there's some kind of thing that makes people more likely to wind up here.

Action

[brat_from_hell]

Ah, yes. There was that prank with all the books. That was entertaining.

[What can he say? Phibrizzo approves of most anything designed to provoke a negative response from someone.]

I wonder if Wan Shi Tong learned his lesson after all of that.

[that_is_asecret]

Hard to say, especially considering after he was slain by Loki, he lost his memories.

[takesyoubytheheart]

Oooh, sounds pretty neat! What's it do?

[brat_from_hell]

That's a bit of a shame.

[He would have liked to aggravate the owl spirit by taking books as he pleased and to generally see the situation get worse.]

Well, he doesn't seem to be trying to prevent anyone from taking books, in any case.

It attacks the enemy's spirit directly. It's enough to make an average human being pass out. Works on the Third Party too, luckily! It won't kill anything except for weak evil spirits, though. It's basically spiritual light in the shape of a lance that gets thrown at the enemy.

[that_is_asecret]

I'm sure there will be other conflicts within the village.

[He shrugs, easy come, easy go]

I think he may be of some use.

[stilldontgotit]

The name's kinda self-explanatory. It's a Key-shaped sword that can be summoned at will, open just about any lock, and is probably the most important weapon where I'm from. The kind of weapon that can save worlds if put to good use.

[Which probably sounds weird based on the concept, but hey, there's a reason for it.]

[brat_from_hell]

Oh, I'm sure.

[It wouldn't that be hard to create a micro-conflict. Nothing overt like orchestrating a civil war, but little things here and there to stir people up...that could be done while still seeming innocent enough.]

I suppose a knowledge spirit could be beneficial to have as an ally...especially if he has information from multiple worlds.

[brat_from_hell]

Well, it sounds like a great weapon to have if you were a thief...but how would it save worlds?

[It's kind of hard to imagine, but he's open to learning about it.]

[that_is_asecret]

[People could be riled up easy enough. It was all too easy at times truly]

Yes, he would be. Though I imagine it might take some time to compile some information, if he has a great capacity to store and organize it, that would be a useful resource.

[amberguardian]

Well, they're as solid as anybody. They have to interact with humans.

[They just have to wear a hat at all times.]

[brat_from_hell]

[That is very interesting indeed.]

Is that how they're working for their second chance?

[amberguardian]

Yes. They fulfill certain tasks in a certain amount of time.

[brat_from_hell]

That's true. I wonder if he'd recognize us for what we are or if he'd think we were human...

[That's worth testing out. It could involve a very different interaction if he even scratched the surface of the truth...]

[brat_from_hell]

How long do they usually have to fulfill a task? And what happens if they don't accomplish it in their given time?

[amberguardian]

Depends on the task. Usually God will give them more time than should take. But if they don't finish, then they're taken back, and wait.

I was never told exactly how everything works, but they eventually are put into a new body.

[that_is_asecret]

Currently I doubt it with his memory loss, but it is possible before. It depends upon how much reading he was able to find.

[brat_from_hell]

Like the same kind of body that they had before when they were solid souls? Or as in they're reborn?

[brat_from_hell]

And how much were you able to find in the library regarding Mazoku?

[And did you destroy it is the unspoken question.]

[amberguardian]

Reborn. Only a few souls get to stay as they were, and be the same kind of person that they were in their last life.

[that_is_asecret]

I found a fair amount regarding Mazoku of our universe. Yet when I disposed of it, within a set amount of time, it returned again.

[Irritating that was]

I currently have it hidden away, as I could not divine a way to permanently destroy it.

[takesyoubytheheart]

[He makes an impressed whistle!]

That sounds really amazin'! Does it take a lot outta ya?

[brat_from_hell]

Well, I guess it would be a little boring if they were the same person over and over again.

[brat_from_hell]

That is a bit troublesome.

[Really, Luceti? Even non-living things can't be permanently destroyed? How annoying.]

Where did you hide it? I want to put a barrier around it.

[amberguardian]

I suppose so...though even if they are the same soul, with each new life something about them is different.

[This she knows about very well.]
