A mental connection? ... Are you two back to normal now?

[zel, not knowing what finnish is: wow so that's why they were talking nonsense to each other]

[polyglotti]

[Zel. Tuuri is a language nerd, she would teach you Finnish if you asked.]

We are now, yeah. Once we got back the connection was gone.

[hardrocklife]

[A nod.] Good.

What about the other two?

[that's not a very specific question but like. gestures broadly at them. what happen.]

[polyglotti]

If you mean why did they turn into girls, I think it's because they died at one point. Then they got replaced by those two girls for a little while.

[hardrocklife]

[......]

That can happen?

[polyglotti]

I don't think that normally happens, or else people would be replacing everyone who died here. It was just a part of whatever nonsense we got involved in.

[hardrocklife]

[even out your mg's gender ratio with this one weird trick--]

I see. More strange magic, perhaps...

What kind of magic was it, anyway? You said you were forced to use it?

[polyglotti]

It called us necromancers at one point, so...necromancy?

[hardrocklife]

You mean... controlling the dead?

[polyglotti]

[Suddenly thinking back to a specific part that definitely involved bodies. Hm.]

Yes....?

[hardrocklife]

It can be gruesome stuff.

You all right? ... Besides your wounds.

[polyglotti]

[It sure can be gruesome, yes.]

I think so? I'm pretty resilient, I can bounce back from just about anything.

[hardrocklife]

[He looks a little concerned, but there's no use in pushing.]

... All right. If you're sure.

[polyglotti]

I'm sure.

[She'll open up eventually. It just takes a lot for her to admit there's a problem.]

It is pretty annoying though, even moving my arm stings.

[hardrocklife]

That probably means you shouldn't move it too much.

[A sigh.]

... It's a shame we can't use healing magic here.

[polyglotti]

I won't.

[Even if it's boring to sit still.]

Your world has magic that just heals people like that?

[hardrocklife]

Yes. It's possible with white magic.

It's not really my specialty, but a priestess taught me a basic recovery spell a while back. Could patch up most wounds in a few minutes, if they weren't too serious.

[polyglotti]

I bet it could fix up my arm pretty quickly then.

[Tuuri you were bleeding from your eyes earlier.]

We don't have magic healing like that in our world. The gods do bless people to recover eventually, but they still have to heal at a normal, human pace.

[hardrocklife]

That's a pretty weak blessing...

[Sorry Tuuri, your gods sound like cheapskates.]

[polyglotti]

[They are, it's okay.]

I think it's just based on what's needed. Most of Lalli's magic is based on protecting people and guiding souls to the afterlife.

[hardrocklife]

Lalli?

[polyglotti]

My cousin, he's a mage. Actually, most of the people in my family are mages. I just got unlucky and was born without magic.

[hardrocklife]

Really?

... I suppose I can relate, in a way.

[polyglotti]

Oh? Are you a non-mage from a family of mages too?

[hardrocklife]

Well, I'm a mage now, but...

Growing up, I had no talent for magic whatsoever. I'm the descendant of a world-famous sage, a man who mastered all of the major schools of magic... It was frustrating, to say the least.
