Yeah, but at the same time it's a little easier than I thought? So that's just another thing that's kind of weird.

[battling]

Anythin' around here that ain't weird?

[goalsides]

The food. [it's kind of a joke, but it is in fact food he's used to.] That's one of the things that's the most normal.

[battling]

[He laughs!]

The fried chicken ain't as good as the stuff at home.

But the burgers ain't the right color. The buns for those are usually pink.

[goalsides]

[a slow blink.]

Maybe for you. Why are they pink?

[battling]

[shrug?]

Somethin' about the flour?

[goalsides]

I don't know if I would trust pink flour either to tell you the truth...

[battling]

Hasn't killed anybody. 'sides we got a real great chef back home.

[goalsides]

Still wouldn't be enough to convince me, man, sorry.

So what's it actually like where you're from? Besides pink burger buns.

[battling]

'm from the North, so it's cold. Climates about as bad as the people. Ain't a lot of towns or cities up there either. Plenty of seafood.

Territory's split up between wizards, and we fight over it.

[goalsides]

[he was following along to a point.]

Wizards?

[battling]

Magic users, sorcerers, mages, whatever ya wanna call us.

[goalsides]

So what kind of magic can you do?

[battling]

Offensive magic.

[goalsides]

...which is like what?

[battling]

Makin' sure my bullets always hit the target. Causin' crippling pain. Stabbin' without usin' a knife. That kinda thing.

[goalsides]

[huh. well...okay.]

Does your magic actually work here?

[battling]

[SIGH!!!!]

Nah. Nobody's magic seems t' be workin' here.

[goalsides]

How many people have you asked so far? I don't know that many with magic to start with.
