so what's the deal with your magic
like
were you born with it or did you have to be taught

unless this is obvious shit that everyone should know about magic and now i look like a fuckin dumbass for even asking

[Bielobog]

1. you still got a bit of egg on your getup today

2. which college are you going for

[bielo]

I'm going to burn down the entire fucking upper class.

[...] I was kinda thinking Lorehold. But I'm not stuck on it if You know, for playing with bones and shit.

What are you looking at

Bog Twins

[czerno]

we could find some eggs and bring them to the party tonight. except that'd be a waste of perfectly good fuckin eggs

i mean not the q one for sure. i already feel like dumbass just being here and then these ppl say shit about booleans and fractal theory and im like what the fuck are you talking about. then there's the artists. fuckin hell. did you go to open mic night? a whole bunch of idiots saying nothing and crying about it

Bog Twins

[bielo]

Could find some egg-shaped rocks. If this party isn't just some big stupid fucking trick that is.

Remember when we were the smart ones in Ozga Whatever, they're boring fucking nerds who probably spent half their lives reading and studying instead of actually doing shit.

Went to that open mic shit long enough to see someone do "comedy". I still don't understand the point.

[...] I don't think Silverquill's for us either. They're the talky ones, all look at my pretty words and shit.

Magic is my heritage as a demigod...
Yet everyone must be taught, to make best use of it.
Or so I have been told...

[czerno]

you're a demigod

is that why you talk like that

[lunulata]

both!
some of it came naturally.
some of it had to be gifted or taught or earned through practice.

why do you ask?

[czerno]

just curious

they're taking their sweet time teaching us about magic so i figured i might as well start asking

[grrgirl]

I don't remember

[czerno]

got knocked in the head too many times huh

[yrsa]

taught myself everything i know

[czerno]

how'd you do it

[underhandling]

Lordy who as time to read. All natural and Very lucky surprise n all

[czerno]

and you're here
so
you must want to read now. or study or whatever the fuck they do here

[ebba]

I doubt we'll ever fully understand the relationship between nature and nurture, but it's very interesting to think about.

[czerno]

shit this isn't a philosophical question
i was just asking

[pepromancy]

I’m curious, too, what it is that everyone can do. I’ve also got a sister and we could do magic, but our interests shaped our areas of expertise, and now we can do much different magic.

[czerno]

i dunno if my sister and i have diff expertise

kinda hard to figure that shit out when every minute you're trying not to get eaten by a dinosaur

[helmineblackwater]

My parents taught me in the beginning. But most of what I know, I learned through study and practice.

[czerno]

did you have books

[hexslinger]

every spell i know, i had to learn myself. secret bloodline powers would be cool though.

[claypool]

my charm???? it's all natural.

[wereyote]

I taught myself, mostly? Or you know, picked up a few things from spying watching people here and there.
