Hello my fellow shipmate captives! I hope we're all enjoying our bizarre beach kidnapping. At least as far as kidnappings go, we have quite the story once we make it back. Or if, if you're feeling cynical today.

[The world's weirdest kidnapping in her opinion at least.]

Anyway, I'm Hawke and I have an incredibly important question for the people on this ship to satisfy my own curiosity. Or I suppose some of the people on this ship. ...Probably.

In the past few days I've gotten such shock and awe [The phrase shock and awe is said in an appropriately dramatic tone!] over the very concept of magic, elves, dwarves, and demons. All of those things I see when I pop my head out my bedroom window back home. Well not demons. Or not usually demons but it did happen once or twice... [Her home is basically the garbage dump of the world, everyone.

ANYWAY. She shakes her head and waves a hand to move the conversation along.]


Fascinating but pointless side information. Magic is the sticking point. And the reason I am making this very important message where my face shows up on the little arm thing. Does anyone else do magic? Blood magic? Elemental magic? Necroph- No, it's Necromancer. Anything at all really? I figure there aren't any templars out to kill mages on this ship so we're at least safe to talk about it for now. That would be doubling down on bad luck.

And on top of that. [She makes a small ball of light appear in her hands and rolls it idly between her fingers.] anyone find that doing magic is suddenly a lot harder than it was back home? On the level of "after casting a few spells, I feel like I'm about to pass out and or vomit"? Sort of thing? Haven't exactly figured how they've done it but they've done it. It's a bit impressive, if not very annoying.

Anyway, magic users, questions, hopefully answers! Maybe we could even start a little club where we drink tea and chat up spells. That sounds delightful.

Oh and I suppose if anyone who's in "shock and awe" about magic, this is the perfect time to get all of your questions out. I really opened up the floodgates.

[ Oh, that's a reaction that she's never received before. Like ice magic is just...normal. She likes it. ]

It seems that most people here come from places where magic doesn't exist, so I'd say it's understandable for them to be surprised. If a bit redundant to those who have to constantly deal with that surprise. [ A short pause. ] Do mages have a bad reputation where you're from?

[ The idea of such a thing being unsurprising but still not cared for is unfortunate. It sounds worse than being the only one with magic somewhere where magic is generally considered fiction. ]

No, it's certainly an unfortunate way to be unique. I'm not sure what to suggest might be the cause... It's possible someone in the medical bay may be able to help? If there are any doctors or medics with knowledge on magic, anyway. I'm not so sure that there are, unfortunately.
