[In the background, there's the sound of a record playing cheerful music. ]

Hi everyone! I'm Elliot, it's nice to meet you all even if this isn't where you wanna be right now. Sorry about that. I teach music and I'm a healer with Coven infirmary training. So if you need either of those things, just lemme know!

Anyway, um, I had a question. What's music like where you're from? Or what kind of music do you like? There's so many people from different places, I feel like I'm always finding out something new and I'd like to learn as much as I can.

Oh- I'll start. I'm from Erebonia and we have a lot of classical music - stuff with lutes, violins, piano, etc. Operas are pretty popular too, though in the last few years Northern rock - or I guess just rock, has been spreading! Oh, and radio's really big. I still miss listening to my favorite radio show honestly...

S-Sorry, didn't mean to ramble. What about you guys?

I probably could have described a little better than just the hair if I thought about it.

Ahhh... I think as well as anyone else has! Things here are pretty different from what I'm used to.

[He laughs] I'm sure! Still, glad it worked out this way.

Yeah, I feel that's the case for most people. It took a lot of getting used to for me too.

Is it pretty different than the world you came from?

It is, though not as different as other worlds from the sound of it.

I mean the technology level isn't too different, it's just a little less advanced than what I'm used to. But we don't have this much magic. And our monsters are more like...animals? They're not sentient, I mean.

Oh! But you do have monsters and magic still?

[ Woooow. Though, why is Sougo that impressed? He's got some sort of monsters in his world too, and while powers aren't labeled magic, they do exist in his world. ]

Aha, yeah. Different than what you find here, but it's there.

What kind of magic is it then?

Well, the most comment kind is done through special quartz. They are full of energy, so when you put them into a device called an orbment - you can use that energy to perform magic if you want.

Besides that...there's clans that practice magic more like the stuff here, but they're really secretive so I couldn't tell you much about their methods.

Ah! I have something similar to that where I'm from. Though I'm not sure it's magic exactly...

Oh? What is it?

[ There's a pause as Sougo considers this... ]

I don't think I ever really put an exact word to it. Powers of some sort?

Er...that's...a little vague?

[ An awkward laugh. ]

It is a little, isn't it? I think I could explain what they powers did, but I'm not sure I can really explain what they were.

Aha...

Well, I wouldn't mind hearing what they did, but only if you're alright with sharing!

I don't mind! Most of the powers that people have aren't their own though, or I guess it's more like we're borrowing them from these watches that let us do some incredible things.

[ A pause as he considers. ]

Mostly related to combat, but I can reverse time for just a little bit using one. A couple of my friends own time machines as well.

Haha, it's okay. Orbal magic is technically borrowing powers too...

[!!!]

But whoa, really?? you have power over time?? That's amazing!

I didn't have that much control over it!

[ He did... ]

Besides, none of that stuff came with me into this world.
