Tuesday, May 26th. [ after workshops ].

When Dinah had mentioned to Valentine an IM program utilizing the computer, of course she had planned to check it out. Now that her workshops were finished, she settled in her room around her laptop, looking into it, setting herself up not with just one account, but two mocking her mun who still doesn't know how to do that, one to be clearly her, the other...

...well, she'd gotten used to anonymity on the Nets. She wanted to have fun with it again.

nottheholiday: Oh, not at all! I don't mind. Though you can feel free to tell me to shut up because I'm putting you to sleep over there if you want, too.
nottheholiday: but there is. I'm happy to report that the future is still a very literate one and fans of news channels on the Nets, messaging systems between desks (those are kind of like these laptops, but much better). Some of us even still read books.

nomadicceltichef: Books! I'm glad to hear that people still read books, yeah.
nomadicceltichef: ... They probably still get their wizardry from them, if your world has wizards like mine.

There was a little bit of a pause.

nottheholiday: No wizards.
nottheholiday: sorry.

[not_in_the_book]

nomadicceltichef: Nothing to be sorry for. Most world don't.
nomadicceltichef: Although it's entirely possible your world has them and you just don't know about it; my world's like that, most people don't know we're there.
nomadicceltichef: Wouldn't recognise a spell being used right beneath their nose.

nottheholiday: It's possible, but unlikely, I think. If there was something like magic where I'm from, it's so well hidden that it might as well not exist at all.

[not_in_the_book]

nomadicceltichef: Likely not, then, yeah.
nomadicceltichef: And, really, I'd expect Earth to be far enough along in another century and a half to have the wizards reveal themselves.
nomadicceltichef: It would take a lot to drive us even further under.

nottheholiday: And, really, if there was magic, I would hope that the fate of the human race would be enough for them to want to step up and contribute. No offense, but if there are wizards in my world, then they're kind of douchebags.

[not_in_the_book]

nomadicceltichef: ... With some of the wizards I've met, I suppose we can't preclude that possibility.
nomadicceltichef: Still, you're right, they'd step in and help. They should, anyway.
nomadicceltichef: You said that your technology's developed most in military areas?

nottheholiday: That's where everything goes into, really.
