genessia | (no subject)

[Genessia has seen a lot of strange people. Odd hair colors, youthful appearance, strange clothing, and outlandish abilities abound.

But this is an awful lot of pink to see in one place, even if it's attached to an eleven year old girl.

She appears to be standing near the hologram projector, and there are several free-floating screens around her showing feeds from wide-area search drones. It's better than relying on the map pamphlets, and this place quite obviously has both magic and high technology, so she doubts there's going to be an issue with a few tiny pink orbs floating around.

The video feed from her device seems to be a last resort, since she's clearly been doing her best to gather information on her own.]

Um... Excuse me. I know from checking the network that this sort of introductory post is usually frowned upon, but I just have one quick question. I already know there's no one here from my world, but... has anyone here ever heard of the Time-Space Administration Bureau, or Riot Unit Six?

[The dragon-shaped lump on her shoulder nudges her cheek, and she has an 'oh!' moment.] And, um, my name is Caro. Caro Ru Lushe.

[Caro would be fascinated to hear how she did that, but that is perhaps a discussion for another time.] I see. Um... Maybe you can answer another question for me. I can tell that magic is used here, but not by everyone. About how... common is it? And are people afraid of summoners, here?

[Entirely unrelated to the tiny dragon on her shoulder. Yep.]

If I had to guess I'd say... [Literally counts off her fingers.] Maybe one in 7 people have magic? Yeah.

Most magic summoning types or even demon magic isn't considered too scary, unless it necrotic. For awhile there were even some laws against using those types of magic, but part of it is because of the possession and control nature. We have skeletons, and vampires, and werewolves here, and they're all allowed their free will, so someone trying to use them as weapons wouldn't be terribly popular, yeah?

For more on that, you're best off talking to members of my guild from Fayren! Fairy Tail! [Proudly reveals the mark on her right hand!] My adopted sister Mirajane is really good at explain magic, and the guildmaster knows everything I swear. The two universes I most belong in don't have magic at all, so it's still a big learning curve for me. But I went in blind using most tech and adapted anyway, so it's not too different for me.

Don't even bother talking to the Doctors about magic though, he completely doesn't call it that or accept it as its form, just [Finger quotes] "unexplained science." Pretty sure he gets 1/1000th of the work done he could just because he's too busy trying to calculate and explain and translate it into terms he accepts bettar.

That's about average for non-Administration worlds. Most of the ones who do have it don't even recognize the fact, because they have no system in place to explain its use. One of the most powerful mages in my world came from a world like that - Nanoha Takamichi, from Earth.

[She smiles at the recommendation.] I'm not a novice when it comes to either, but I do need help with control - especially with my dragon summoning. My friend Friedrich here has been with me since before he was hatched, but if I were to summon Voltaire here... it could go very badly. He's... not very conscious of things like limits, or collateral damages.

[Hmm! This Doctor fellow sounds like he needs a few clues. Midchildan and ancient Belkan mages, after all, have fully integrated magic and technology - so much so that they've eschewed fossil fuels and the like almost entirely. And their 'Devices' are compact sorcery engines, some of them quite intelligent all on their own. She makes a mental note to track the Doctor down, later.]

I might try to speak with him about it, for those very reasons. It's too much to explain like this, but I have... a few insights from my world, that he may find very interesting.
