General Discussion / Re: Things that made you sad today thread.

Then watch Starship Troopers. It even asks you if you'd like to know more!

Selina tries to find if its linked to a certain emotion, or if theres something most mages have in common.
(49)
It's not any particular emotion, she can be sure of that. But what else?

Isaac's eyebrow raises.
"Wait... what if it has to do with our perception of reality. Especially with my magic, how I can spontaneously create matter from nothing, practically."
Perception of reality? Explain.

Selina searches through books on research into where magic comes from in the body.
(84)
Selina narrowly dodges an almost literal mountain on books falling from nowhere. After looking through a few of them - here she notices that she can apparently read much faster in this room than elsewhere - the general impression of the authors seems to be that it isn't anything to do with the body, but rather the mind.
At least that's what they think.

Indeed it is, Isaac.

"So, my philosophical approach to the question wasn't what you wanted?"
No. I was referring to the literal phenomenon that allows you to shapeshift to a variety of felinoid forms without horrific pain and months in a hospital bed with each change.

Selina starts looking through some books for an answer.
Any ones in particular?

Isaac taps his finger on his chin.
"Well, I imagine it's because of some oddity in our DNA. Or something similar, such as the very core of this world causing something inside ourselves to be different from others."
Perhaps. Though have you considered any other factors? It would seem that demigods like yourself would be all possessed of magic, but they are not. Why is this?

((And now science is complete.))

You are correct, Catherine.

An old-style blackboard appears out of nowhere, with a variety of pictures on them that correspond to whatever THE's saying.

Magic is, functionally, the ability to break the natural laws of the universe. Darnos could violate natural entropy, for instance, and induce it in object he concentrated on. You, Isaac, can spontaneously generate matter. Medea can manipulate gravity to her whim. By all rights it should be impossible for this phenomenon to even exist, let alone affect the world to the extent it has today. So my question for you is why? Why does magic exist, and why does is only manifest itself in certain individuals like yourselves?
This room will provide you with any resources you may need to answer the question.


Darnos walks in, acting robotic once more.

Of a sort, Selina. Are there any other answers?

16733
Then if I were to remove all knowledge of technology from your brain, everything would be magic.

16734
Do you mean to say that if you do not comprehend how a fetus develops, that process is magic?

16735
The door closes behind them, after any students that are coming in come in.

What is magic?

((Sorry I'm not responsing fast, guys. Got busy.))

16736
I understand your emotional bond, but are you attending the lesson?

16737
The door swings open to reveal an endless expanse of white, with THE a little bit off, hovering in the middle distance.

16738
To: All students: <My next lesson will be held in Omega wing, anterior hall, in one half of one hour. If you are interested, attend.>

((I suppose. Given that we went from 'get a ship' to 'vision questish argument over past deeds with a squirrel you're burglaring from while being a squirrel yourself in your own head, while you're just a heap of slag that's somehow still alive on the street', I don't think we'll see this anytime soon.))
