not many finnish mages, either. more than anywhere else though

except stupid iceland but they don't count

[hashtagwoof]

What's wrong with Iceland?

[skittering]

you've never met an icelander have you?

stupid, all of them. only one i tolerate was still stupid enough to ship himself to the silent world in a food crate. nearly starved our crew out

[ It takes some time to respond. Hunter needed a moment to process what he just read. ]

1. What's the silent world?

2. WHY?

[skittering]

known world - the parts of finland, sweden, iceland, norway, and denmark with survivors. settlements

silent world - everywhere else. dead, undead, corrupted. uninhabitable. no word from beyond it.

( as for why........ )

thought he was sending himself to sweden or something. stupid

[hashtagwoof]

Yep, you're from some other world. Like I said, I'm from the United Kingdom (England specifically) and we're definitely not dead.

[ Let's focus on that instead of the shipping people thing, k? ]

[skittering]

okay

( he's not sure what else to say. basically everyone here is from different worlds, with a few exceptions. throughout his time in asgard, lalli came to the general understanding that most of those worlds are still alive and well. but if he's asked about the silent world, that means he's gotta talk about his own dead one. that's just... how it works. )

[ And the conversation drops for a while. Hunter's not used to the whole world hopping thing (he just showed up this month) and the other guy's not giving him much to work with here.

So... Uh... Change of subject? ]

So your world has dreamscapes too?

pardon the delay!

[skittering]

yours too, probably

wouldn't know unless you're a mage

yer fine

[hashtagwoof]

But we don't really have mages. Closest thing to that is stage magic.

[skittering]

'stage magic'

[hashtagwoof]

Oh, right, you're from post-apocalypse world or something.

Stage magic is like, making things instantly dissapear or correctly guessing what card someone picked from the deck without looking at it. Not really magic, just really cool sleight of hand tricks.
