[A figure dressed in black will appear suddenly, the air cracking with energy around him. He pushes back his hood, revealing bright blonde curls and a magnetic smile. Yet the expression isn't entirely kind nor is it settling. It's possible that this new arrival is actually furious.]

...against my wishes...? [He is impressed by the gall even as his mind works rapidly to counter it.] Do you know who I am?

[It doesn't really matter. He must press onward. The blue of his eyes sharpens.] Where might I find the Magical community? Don't say there isn't one. Witches and Wizards exist everywhere, but they are too accustomed to hiding.

I'm not gonna intro Dumbledore until I'm done moving apartments so have this asshole instead

[quick_clean_pure]

Who you are ain't gonna matter much around here. It's kinda stubbornly all-powerful like that.

There's probably magic folk around, though, I gotta imagine. We got robots and talking dolls and shit, wizards wouldn't be too out of place.

[li_amaranth]

This places doesn't give two fucks who you are.

[Even she's already recognized that fact. But, she's also.. very wary when he mentioned a magical community and then witches and wizards.. Mages. She snarls silently and kind of gives him a glare.]

And why the hell would you want a damn mage. They're trouble.

Totally understandable! <3

[greatestgood]

All-powerful? [He might be interested in that.] Does it have a name?

Wizards are never out of place. [Those words are cold and certain.] Robots and dolls can hardly compare.

[Video]

[greatestgood]

Good. [His grin is downright lethal. Tucked under his sleeve is a very important wand. He doesn't want to be known yet. Soon. Soon.]

I do like to keep company with my own kind.

[fashionably_strong]

Multiversal nexuses are super rude like that. This is my second time being pulled to a world other than my own.

[She shrugs.]

You'll find there's people with all sorts of different abilities here.

[quick_clean_pure]

The city? Genessia. It's sort of an entity unto itself.

I mean, I really ain't the expert on wizards or anything, but there's definitely magic running around. Fayren's got a lot of that stuff, as I understand it.

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

There's a mage guild in Fayren called Fairy Tail. Otherwise, I think magic users just settle wherever they want just like anyone else does, and nobody's hiding. You'll find more in Fayren and Everglade than in other cities, though.

[greatestgood]

Alright. [This is a first; that means his attention will be captured for longer.]

I'm glad to hear it. It becomes tiresome when Magic is suppressed. [Then, casually...] How do you feel about it?

[greatestgood]

Then you are an expert compared to me. [Hi, new friend.] Are you in one piece? What of your sanity? Intact?

[Gellert, are you being serious or trolling? He can do both within the same breath.]

I look forward to seeing them.

[Video]

[greatestgood]

It sounds like Fayren is my next destination. I do like fairytales. [Especially when they involve a wand, a cloak and a stone.] How refreshing! I will like not hiding.

[Video]

[liorafae]

[Liora sees that smile, and can see that it isn't too kind. It's the kind of expression that makes her nervous. So, have a nervous little dragon peeking into the screen with wide, gold eyes, with sparkles on her head and at the edges of her frills.]

Most of the people who practice magic stay in Fayren. Although some people in Everglade practice magic as well, they practice more dark magic than anything...

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

Hiding is only fun when you're playing games or tricks. What kind of magic is your specialty? I'm good at death magic and some elemental spells, but I'm no good whatsoever at healing.

[Video]

[child_of_bhaal]

Why would they need to hide?

[Hello, rightfully angry young man.]

Re: [Video]

[li_amaranth]

[And that grin put a rather antsy and angry kelpie on edge as she eyes him like he might potentially be a threat. To who? Who cared. She was already sliding him into 'foe' category and that category only had two options as far as she was concerned. How does she kill it and is it edible.

Hearing that he's a mage though... that just sets her on edge as she tosses her head slightly.]

That makes you more trouble than you're worth.

[Video]

[greatestgood]

[Gellert's eyes widen faintly when she speaks. Dragons are part of his world, but talking dragons... That's special.]

...do they... [He muses, his eyes lidded to disguise how they sparkle at the mention of Dark Magic.] All Magic is useful. I think there is much for me to learn in Fayren and the Everglade.

[Video]

[greatestgood]

Misplaced fear, paranoia. People can do horrible things when they feel they have lost control.

[quick_clean_pure]

About magic? I don't know enough about it to have a real opinion. I suppose it's the same attitude I have about most things, live and let live. You do you, so long as you ain't trying to bother me or anything.

[fashionably_strong]

All in one piece and sane. It was a bit of a headache sorting out timeline things, but I have friends here who were in that other world with me and weren't natives to that world.

[It's kind of become a thing she wants to study, despite not being the genius inventor that her mother is.]

I can show you something small right now.

[And with that, she produces a small glowing orb made of white energy in her hand.]

[Video]

[child_of_bhaal]

[She doesn't jump to answering on that remark. Not all worlds are the same.]

I take it the community is smaller than those who do not practice magic?

[Video]

[greatestgood]

I agree. [There is a lengthy pause and then he grins.] Dark Magic. [Lies are silly, aren't they? So he will tell the truth.]

What is Death Magic? I know a Curse that can kill and there are many, many Potions that can accomplish the same goal.

[greatestgood]

...so that is possible. [His thoughts wander to one presence, but he roughly pushes down hope.] I can adapt.

[Durmstrang turned him away. Albus has turned him away. Gellert is accustomed to doing what he needs to do.]

What can you do with your orb of light?

[Video]

[greatestgood]

[He can be a friend or a threat. Both, really. Gellert hasn't let anyone close since the whole ordeal with Albus, Aberforth and Ariana. As heartless as he might seem to his foes, there is a heart buried deep.]

Have you been mistreated?

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

Cool!

[He's not going to bother pretending to be horrified by Dark Magic, considering what he's openly admitted to practicing.]

Death magic is an entire branch of magic, and some of the uses of it are kinder than others. I know a spell that can keep someone who's about to die alive. It puts them in magical crystal and keeps their life essence preserved with them, so no matter what they're dying of, they won't cross over into death. They'll just sleep.

[Video]

[liorafae]

Indeed...

[All magic is useful, huh? Including dark magic? Liora supposes she can agree with that, to an extent. But then again, there were the different types of dark magic to consider. Not that it made a difference in their usefulness.]

So...I take it...you practice magic also?

[greatestgood]

I can appreciate your perspective. I wish more people thought like you. There wouldn't be burnings or imprisonment.

[Yeah, that's a thing.]
