So, can the witch in charge come out yet?

[ It's a simple statement, and for a moment it does sound like the message might just cut off there. Just that one flat statement, seemingly devoid of any emotion aside from a vague hint of annoyance.

But then there's a sound that's faintly like a step, then a grumble, and then the message continues anyway. Still mostly deadpan, but a little more annoyed this time. ]

Sure, I get it. The whole crime and punishment theming? Very cute. Maybe start using that talent to build an amusement park or something more productive next time, if this sort of thing is your hobby. Either way, it's really not done to let yourself be heard on the way in, and then just act like you're not there.

[ A slight pause-- and then a sigh. ]

Just tell me someone can point me to the witch. I really don't have time to be beating around the bush.

.. I imagine it's the latter then.

[ Sure, he'd be able to tell better than Ange, since she personally can't feel anything about the magic in this place or anyone else's magic at all.

But she can't imagine it's flavourless. It's much more likely that it's just different from anything Med'an has ever encountered in his own world, right..? ]

I mean, have you ever seen magic back home that was powerful enough to move people across different worlds?

[breakin_ur_lore]

Well...yeah.

[OK LOOK HE REALIZES THAT IS WEIRD BUT...ITS TRUE...]

I went through the Dark Portal once. [...] Or, you know...once round-trip. That's...a mixture of arcane and fel magic. A...lot of fel magic.

[entreats]

[ ... ]

The Dark Portal.

[ Listen to the way she repeats those words. So dryly. Like she's trying to point out to Med'an - without plainly saying it - just how odd it is to throw terms like that around so casually. Of course, the Dark Portal, who hasn't heard of it, right! ]

I don't think you'll find many people here who have partaken in the Dark Portal's services, you know. [ Which means-- Ange has no idea what you're talking about, Med'an. :( Even with the brief explanation after it! ]

[breakin_ur_lore]

[daklsflkkllj LOOK ANGE IT'S A BIG DEAL BACK HOME OK!! EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THE DARK PORTAL! IT'S THAT THING THAT A BUNCH OF SPACE ALIENS CAME THROUGH EXCEPT NOW THE ALIENS LIVE ON AZEROTH AND THAT'S NOT WEIRD AT ALL.]

It's - well - you know! It's a dimensional portal. It goes to another planet called Draenor. [...] Some of my family came through it. [Alright, fine, that part he knows sounds weird...]

Anyway, magic that can teleport people across worlds - or dimensions, or both I guess - exists back home. But we didn't...go through a portal to get here. At least, not that any of us remember...right?

[entreats]

No, I think you're right. If it was a portal, it should involve a little more more voluntary action on our ends, right? [ And for every single one of them to forget that - it makes no sense. Especially when there are plenty of people who don't want to be here in the first place. ] It's probably just some powerful entity using magic or whatever other ability they have to bring us here.

[ There's a moment of quiet, and then, all of a sudden: ]

.. So does that mean you're part alien?

[ SORRY, MED'AN.. Apparently that is what her mind lingered on after your explanation!!

And this is even without seeing his green skin.. ]

[breakin_ur_lore]

[ITS OK ANGE THIS IS A VALID QUESTION. Hey, maybe this is the better way to introduce himself. Now she won't be so surprised!]

Huh? Oh, uh - I mean - [I MEAN] - yeah.

I'm actually, uh, multiple types of aliens? [And he starts to laugh a little. It's ridiculous-sounding even when it's his own life they're talking about.]

[entreats]

All at once?

[ Don't worry, Med'an. Ange doesn't really seem weirded out by this idea at all.

It's just about the least ridiculous thing she's encountered in a while, and that's saying something. ]

Because of your parents? [ She imagines it'd work that way, anyway.. Right.. See, that'd all still be pretty logical, despite the alien-ness of it all being involved. ]
