Sorry to take everyone's time, but I have a question.

I have a friend who also has access to this website. The thing is that my friend was turned into an undead against his will, and he's not so much eager to let people know? That usually ends in people trying to exorcise you, it's not fun for anyone.

But if this site has angels, and gods, and that kind of thing, would it be alright for my friend to be honest?

... Wait. Undead can be an actual thing?

[accidentallich]

Unfortunately yes.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Well that's good to know. I'm used to a place where ghosts aren't a thing.

I'd guess this place is probably safe to talk about it at least?

[accidentallich]

Are you sure? My friend doesn't want to scare anyone if he shows his face...

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

I'll be fine.

[Rita, you're terrified of ghosts, this is going to be a problem for you in the future.]

[It takes a minute, but a skeleton wearing cat-patterned pajamas shows up on screen.]

You're not bothered at all?

[Rita Mordio looks bored for a couple seconds, then realizes what she's looking at and her face goes visibly tense.]

Y-y-yeah no problem this isn't a thing from my world it's nothing to worry about!

[accidentallich]

A-are you sure it's fine?

[That looks like not fine to him.]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

I mean, look, ghosts aren't real where I'm from and this is totally outside of my context and I'm trying to avoid being all a jerk about this right? So it's not fair of me to...

[accidentallich]

It's okay, I'm a monster in my context too, you can say it.

[He's just gonna turn off the video now.]

... Where I'm from, monsters aren't intelligent beings capable of conversation.

So you're definitely not one.

[accidentallich]

That's kind of you to say. But I do meet this world's criteria for 'monster', I think.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... People are idiots.

If there's one constant so far, it's that.

[accidentallich]

I don't think that's true. It's normal to be afraid of the unnatural.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Maybe you're right about that. But people are still idiots.

[accidentallich]

I think most people mean well, at least.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Meaning is one thing. Doing's more important, and if there's one thing I've learned in the last decade, it's that Blastia are always more reliable than people at doing.

[accidentallich]

What's a Blastia?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Technological devices that combine cores - mostly pulled from ancient ruins - with constructable formulas to do various things that the uneducated might call 'magic'.

Also, my job.

[accidentallich]

That sounds fascinating... I'd love to study them one day.

[He's still a Nerd, no matter what's happened to him.]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Maybe if we get a way to hop worlds, you could read up on them here in Aspio.

Though I'm not sure they'd work on any other world...

[accidentallich]

Even if it isn't practical knowledge for me, all knowledge is worth acquiring, I think.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

I kinda have to keep my knowledge on the practical side. That's my job and all.

[accidentallich]

One of the few things being what I am is good for is that I have a lot of free time to study whatever I want.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Okay, I'm guessing that means you don't age, but that still leaves only so many hours in a day.
