Hey - so this temple.

[Doku has the camera aimed away from himself and it's a bit lopsided, but the place looks abandoned. It's not a very large temple, besides. He's at least learned that taking video means he doesn't have to text, so there's that.]

Any gods live here? Askin' 'cuz there's Soulless shinki around here and that seems like it. Just them.

[Apparently this is where Soulless shinki reside until they're assigned to a God.]

Castle defense isn't my area, but it's not like you're the first person I've met here who isn't from a modern era.

[royaltyloyalty]

Hmm, define modern?

[His world is actually anachronystic, which is the only reason he'd learned the BBS as fast as he had.]

The doc was working on some pretty advanced technology stuff back at the castle. Problem was he was combining it with magic, which you're not supposed to do... Now that I think about it, that must be what this thing is anyway, huh?

[He points with his free hand at the phone.]

[revolutionfalcon]

For the purposes of this conversation, having technology close to the year it is here. My world would be a good way into the future from this.

Magical technology? Probably. If it actually improves things, I don't see what the problem with combining them would be.

[royaltyloyalty]

It's considered taboo where I come from, to mix magic and technology. I guess it's not here. I think the reasons had to do with specific artifact from my world, so maybe it won't cause problems here.

Anyway, I recognize a lot of things around here when it comes to the technology - cars, computers, video cameras, a lot of the factory machinery.

[revolutionfalcon]

Unless that artifact was here, obviously not. I wouldn't put it past people from other worlds to have brought magical technology with them, either.

You recognise all that, and yet castles are still strategically important enough where you're from to need defending?

[royaltyloyalty]

Yep. If it's weird to you, then I guess it's weird. It's most this one scientist bringing all the technology in, so that's not really all that surprising.

[revolutionfalcon]

Having your world's entire technological state resting on one scientist sounds risky.

[royaltyloyalty]

Why do you say that? I mean, the guy's weird and he does things I don't like, but it's what he's getting ordered to do by the lady in charge. For all I know he's brought this technology stuff in from somewhere else and he's not the genius that came up with any of it -- he's got a whole team helping him after all.

[revolutionfalcon]

One person having that much power over anything gives the chance to abuse it. It depends on how satisfied he is with just keeping on listening to "the lady in charge".

[royaltyloyalty]

Not like I trust him with much in the first place. You're right though - he went missing not long before I arrived here so who knows what he's been up to lately.

[revolutionfalcon]

It could be anything, but it's not as if anything can be done about it from here.
