But they're not intelligent?

[aubins]

In their own ways.

[notaccurate]

That sounds like you're trying to be charitable.

[He's opening the medicine cabinet!

It's fucking nothing!]

They really did a number on everything here, goodness gracious.

[aubins]

I'm not saying they're not. They've very talented in their own ways! [ y'know sometimes one of them just... invents a whole new, never before seen magic spell because she doesn't understand idioims. idiot savant! ]

We spent all of last week without anything, and I know some people here fought and probably had wounds. Can't say I blame them, especially.

[notaccurate]

I get the feeling some people here don't know how to treat bite wounds.

[Says Luca, who's treating his shoulder just fine and seems to be in no discomfort at all.]

Or perhaps people are fighting more, Wrath certainly is an indulgence here too.

[aubins]

Mm, yeah I've had to get creative with one of those. Cleaning it was really the best I could do at the time, but it seems like was healing alright?

[ hm ]

It certainly is. Fighting it out is the easy option though.

[notaccurate]

Oh? Do you have one in a difficult place to reach?

[Or did Omi go apeshit on Yuri too and re-mark other bites to claim him too?]

Also, fighting it out isn't easier for everyone here.

[aubins]

[ happily: ] Oh, the bite wasn't on me.

In terms of coming up with wrath based indulgences? It's hard to beat. You've never thought about learning to fight a little?

[notaccurate]

[Note to self: Bite Yuri hard enough to leave a mark next time.]

Mineo did say it might be a good idea. He seemed to be under the impression that people would see me as an 'easy target'.

[aubins]

[ that's one way to wrack up wrath points. ]

Comparing the number of people who can fight to those who can't? Maybe. But I would potentially call Mineo an easy target for similar reasons.

[ ... ] Maybe someone should teach you guys how to sword fight.

[notaccurate]

He seemed pretty sure of his skill. But he also does seem like the type to talk big and not be able to follow through on his words.

[But hmm, swords.]

I wouldn't be opposed, but do we even have swords here?

[aubins]

Depends on the weapons he has and the fighting style he uses. Take away a weapon from some people and they're no better than your average non-fighter, save for basic survival instincts you get when learning to fight.

[ ... ]

Simulation room could replicate them. Or just ask the Avatars and they should give you something that semi-works.

[notaccurate]

I'll be sure to go bother Wrath for a sword, then. Any particular style of sword? Please keep my body shape in mind.

[aubins]

Don't go for a two handed greatsword. Just a regular blade. That's what I use, so there's no reason you can't either.

[ ... ]

Oh, and do compliment them on their double eight pack on fire.

[notaccurate]

...what?

[Double eight pack? On fire???]

You, ah. You may need to explain that last part.

[aubins]

No, not really. Just compliment them on it, they'll like it.

[notaccurate]

Even if I have never seen it?

[aubins]

Absolutely.

[notaccurate]

Huh. I will be sure to bring it up at some point, then. I still need to make my rounds, I've only managed to talk to Lust, Greed, and Envy.

[aubins]

They’re all pretty interesting. Although I haven’t spoken to Greed yet — what are they like?

[notaccurate]

They don't really like small talk, but they wanted to know all about my interests. We talked about reading for a bit so I think they like reading. I get the feeling they don't like magic, though.

[aubins]

Really? Sounds a bit like Pride. They decided they'd had enough, blinded me for a moment and ran off. [ rude. ]

Hm. Well, it's not like I'm an all-out mage so maybe I won't get into any slap fights about it.

[notaccurate]

Hmm. I'll have to be careful with Pride, then. What I know is considered a science in my world, but many have told me it's similar to magic.

[aubins]

[ he snorts. ] Don't be. I think they're just grumpy and shy. Maybe. Definitely grumpy - go in with a specific conversation in mind or they'll find a way to wriggle out of it.

Oh? [ elaborate, luca. ] Like... how so, magic is magic.

[notaccurate]

The results are the same as magic. Being able to spark a fire, giant wind gusts that can knock people off of their feet, that sort of thing. But the difference is understanding how the elements react to create those reactions naturally.

Take fire, for instance: If you have proper kindling available, what you do is encourage some of the particles to vibrate at a specific frequency. When dry, combustible materials vibrate at that specific frequency, the friction between them creates the spark needed to start a fire. From there, it's a matter of manipulating the oxygen in the air around that spark to encourage growth into fire.

With proper training and practice, someone can do that in a fraction of a second. But that is wholly a scientific process, not magic. You're not just creating fire from nothing, you're using the materials available to make fire.

[Be careful Yuri, he is a nerd and will talk about this for literal hours. He actually sounds a bit excited to talk about this even in such a basic way.]
