Question.

[plusfivedex]

We've had that golem go nuts, and apparently there's a murderous teacher out there. Even where I'm from, that's not totally normal.

So here's my question: Who's looking out for people here? Not just looking out for the Sundered, but anyone. Where I'm from, there are people with awesome special abilities who protect civilians. They're called superheroes. But there's also all kinds of heroes who do brave and amazing things without any of that.

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, but I'm not seeing a lot of that here, and it's almost been a month for me. Has anyone else noticed something?

Sometimes you do have to jump in headfirst, but this is kind of a crazy situation to expect that in. Don't you think?

[outofyourshadow]

Oh definitely. Not to mention, since we're from different worlds and all, they have no way of knowing how learning this magic might affect us. It's bad enough that we're told we have to learn it or else we explode. But who knows what else it could do to us?

[plusfivedex]

You know, I have to admit that I didn't think of it like that. I mean, I've been assuming that learning magic couldn't hurt us if not learning it can, but that's a good point.

Sheesh.

Well...it's a possibility. Magic can have weird effects on people. I doubt it's all that dangerous since magic seems to be a way of life here.

But considering we could explode by not learning the magic here, I can't imagine that there aren't some problems with suddenly cramming that much magical power into people.

Not that I can really prove anything. I could be wrong.

[plusfivedex]

Hey, I could be wrong about this, but, do you have experience with this kind of thing? Kind of sounds like you do.

[outofyourshadow]

I might have a bit.

[The good thing about text is the lack of tone, so it's hard to tell how serious she's being.]

[plusfivedex]

With magic in general, or specifically the cramming magical power into people thing?

[outofyourshadow]

Yes.

[Okay, she is definitely not being serious.]
