I really, sincerely hope I'm not alone in thinking signing up for a dating app first thing in a strange new world is an incredibly stupid thing to do right?

It has "scam" written all over it.

It does, but not via magic. It's all electronic signals sent over radio-magnetic waves.

[As far as Cain was concerned, he WAS speaking in magic tongues, because what the hell even was a radio?]

Signals? But I don't get it. Is a radio
R A D I O That's a funny word. Is that a word?
OH! Maybe it is like the West country's magic technology? They still harness mana from mana stones, but its machines instead of a person.

[ganashara]

I just said it wasn't magic! It's just technology!

just give it up lio

[himbosupreme]

Yes, but the technology we have runs on magic. Why would it not? Is that not what powers it?

[ganashara]

It's powered by electricity!

[himbosupreme]

What is electricity? Does it also come from mana stones?

[ganashara]

Electricity comes from electro-magnetic generators. Turbines spin a magnet within a wired tube to generate the electricity.

I can't believe I'm explaining something like this! Go to the library!

Well Murr knows a lot more about the stuff than I do, so maybe it is similar. I mean mana stones are harvested from magic beasts and occasionally wizards. Does it work like that?

I am not so great and sitting still and reading haha

[ganashara]

Cain, this isn't your world. You can't expect anything to work the way you're used to.

Even I'll admit I'm making assumptions here, but there's no mana stone in my phone, just an ordinary battery pack and a SIM card.

[ Yes, he already took it apart. ]

[himbosupreme]

[That was a lot more terms he'd never heard before, but he'd probably tested this man's patience enough.]

I mean it does make me feel better to know it's not powered by a mana stone. I think the Sage tried to explain this to me once too....

Well, at lot of stuff from their world seems so amazing. It's kind of exciting to run into it finally!

[ganashara]

[ HMMMM ]

Just. Please be more careful, alright?
