Greetings, people of Aldrip.

I am a new arrival to this place. My name is Rafal. I am a dragon from another world. As familiar as I am with the mechanics of multiple worlds and travel between then, I am afraid the technology gap here is rather large. I would like to request the aid of a master, someone who is proficient in it and is willing to teach me.

Of course, this does not need to be for free. You are welcome to request a boon or a favor. I lack money at this juncture but I will see to it soon enough. I am no longer in the business of resurrecting the dead and I do not kill for others . . . but I am open-minded in other requests.

Thank you.

— Ah, yes, a picture of my true form since that seems to be a sticking point among skeptics.

Not necessarily. These people have control of a world. For all we know, they can simply make more. Destruction doesn't necessarily guarantee success.

[ he pauses, mulling over her words. ]

I can understand the frustration. Especially over a long period of time. It is hard to believe.

But what I said is true. Power is more than simply beating down enemies or killing.

[ The girl is quiet for a second, seeming to take it in until she exhales. ]

Alright. Let's hope then that I can develop some sort of power relating to inter-dimensional travel then so I can get everyone who wants to leave home, huh? [ It's said a little dryly, though - like Ange at least doesn't believe anything to that extent will happen.

Unfortunately, considering how bad she wants out. ]

So far all I know are a few small magic tricks, but it's been difficult to find out how I can do more with it in this place. The person who taught me magic back home isn't here.

[nilhilistic]

[ hm. rafal cocks his head at her. ]

Can you not learn magic from another source? Surely some competent mages reside here.

[entreats]

That's the problem. Multiple people have offered to help me with my magic here, but every single time they do, they disappear really soon after.

It's almost starting to seem like a curse.

[ Ange's tone is dry enough that she's likely just being deadpan about that, but-- at the same time, she would believe it at this point, honestly. Maybe an attempt on the part of the beings in charge to keep her in check. ]

[nilhilistic]

[ hm. ]

None of my magics are suitable for humans.

However . . . you should speak to Ethlyn.

[entreats]

Ah.. Yeah, I know Ethlyn.

[ It helps when both of them have been in this place for a long time now. It would've been difficult to not have encountered her at this point.. ]

I don't really think her kind of magic and mine are compatible though. I'm not exactly the healer type, to put it mildly. [ Not even necessarily because of something about her personality. It's just that Ange has mostly only managed to use her powers to hurt things, rather than heal them.. ]

Thanks for trying to help think along about it, though. It's not like you had to. [ But he did it anyway. That does say something about him from Ange's point of view. ]

[nilhilistic]

[ so she does have magic? odd. why search out new magic then?

oh well. she must have her reasons. ]

You're welcome. It was of no difficulty.
