[sorcerous]

Bring me the materials I requested within the next day. I am where the mountain and the forest have overtaken the ruined craft.

The spell will be cast in two days.

Comments

[sorcerous]

I believe I was clear.

I'm sorry! I was out all day.

[truth_is_cold]

What is it supposed to do? [He has to ask for curiosity sake. And this is the first time that he's heard of it since he was missing.]

No worries! I bet I'm slower.

[sorcerous]

Take me home.

[truth_is_cold]

[There must be some sort of scientific explanation. That pondered, whatever works works.]

Has it been effective before?

[sorcerous]

Of course.

[ though not this particular spell. ]

[truth_is_cold]

[He's curious enough to bite.] What are the ingredients?

[sorcerous]

Shadow, starlight, a tesseract... power.

Are you a sorcerer yourself?

[truth_is_cold]

No. I'm a commander on a starship.

[How does one use a shadow and starlight? What do those represent?]

[sorcerous]

...ah.

[ There is so much in that quiet sound: a disdain, a hint of oh, another primitive, and still a mild amount of respect. A commander, at least. ]

[truth_is_cold]

[He can hear that disdain. Nietzscheans are good for that.] I take pride in being a soldier.

[sorcerous]

Many do.

[ He's familiar with a fair few proud warriors. ]

[truth_is_cold]

I'm not certain of you, sorcerers are few and far between where I'm from. [But, despite his doubts, if something works then it's up to someone else to find the scientific explanation later.]

How does one find shadow and starlight?

[sorcerous]

Starlight may be extracted, from absorbent materials. And shadow may be cast.

Your certainty or lack of it will not affect the spell. I am no charlatan.

[truth_is_cold]

Lack of certainty aside, I'm willing to take chances. I own many materials that have been exposed to starlight and in large doses.

[sorcerous]

[ Oh, now he's listening. ]

What kinds?

[truth_is_cold]

Does it need to be organic or synthetic? [He turns on his video, so he can look for what he needs appropriately.]

[sorcerous]

Organic keeps it better.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

[He pauses, before shifting his gaze thoughtfully. And then switches the feed to private-

He holds up a bone, something knife sharp, that resembles the ones sticking out of his forearms, but he appears to have the same number on either side.]

[Private]

[sorcerous]

What is that?

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

It's a boneblade. The grow out of our arms. They're incredibly sharp.

These have been outside my body for my entire life, which I've spent the majority of in the Argosy branch of the military.

[Private]

[sorcerous]

[ A shiver-breath, inhaled. ]

Perfect.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

[That was a shiver-breath, sir! Eyebrows raise.]

I hope it suits your purposes. Where should I take it?

[Private]

[sorcerous]

As I said in the broadcast.

You will know it by the bonfire.
