Oh.

Well, that's...terrible timing.

[ Nate chews his lip. ]

You were surprised, that a witch might be afraid of a demon.

[ Nate nods.

Although, he might have to put a pin in that.
]

So then was it witches, who hurt you? Kidnapped you, I mean.

[personal profile] guylining 2023-07-28 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing, I guess.

[ he's sitting up too, now. The sheet has pooled in his lap, and he sits cross-legged. ]

It's just...I can't imagine humans capturing a demon. A witch could do it, no problem. [ Well. There'd be problems, certainly, but the point is that the spells exist, and by now Nate is extremely familiar with them. ] But a human? Most of them wouldn't even know how to find someone like you.

[ Nate smiles, and then shakes his head. ]

Trust me, no one would look at your eyes and think "demon". At least not right away. There'd be contact lenses, cosplayer, weird goth kid, and plain old not even noticing, all ahead of that. Humans are incredible at not noticing what's in front of them.

[ He shrugs, and leans back against the wall. ]

You're probably right, though. I'm working with what I know.

[ Nate lifts his head, thoughtful. ]

Is your world like this one, I mean...technology-wise?

[personal profile] guylining 2023-07-28 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Mine is...technology is a lot more. To me, this place looks like something from a period drama. Like, my world was like this maybe a century or two ago.

[ he chews his lip. ]

How is yours different?
guylining: ((older) a t t e n t i o n)

[personal profile] guylining 2023-07-29 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so like what is an expositor? You said that before.

[ Nate's never heard of that. He's never heard of the immortal blessed either, but he's wondering if these are different names did things that he would know about. ]
guylining: ((older) b r o w)

[personal profile] guylining 2023-07-29 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ yeah, okay. Magic in this guy's world works very differently. ]

Well we wouldn't make that distinction, if you're doing magic you're a witch.

But we don't use the dead like that, that's... [ It would be forbidden, he imagines, like resurrection is forbidden. ] What do you even mean, how do they do it?
guylining: ((older)  o o f)

[personal profile] guylining 2023-07-29 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
Right. [ Nate's tone sounds dry. ] So they don't use the dead, they kill people.

[ It doesn't really matter to him what else they're able to do. They're murderers, and they're doing it to increase their magical power. That's horrific. ]

Sound like lovely people. We don't do that.

I guess witch is a general term. I'm a blood born witch, from a witching family. There's hedge witches too, who aren't from families, but they're generally speaking not as powerful and can't always access true magic like we do. Then there's other creatures, like incubi, genies, demons. They have their own brand of magic, and they're all their own thing.

[personal profile] guylining 2023-07-29 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
Huh.

[ Somehow, that's weirder than what he was imagining. ]

So they're not like, angels or something.

Okay. And so humans, they know that all of these people exist?

[personal profile] guylining 2023-07-29 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nate shrugs. ]

It's the big secret in my world. Telling is against witching law. The others prefer to do their shit in secret, makes it easier.

[ Nate makes a face. ]

What is that, like Latin?
