*Extends mine and shakes your hand*
Likewise, partner.

You should be able to reach me with the transponder Legend gives you. Otherwise, I’m usually in the library.

<Snipped quote by Server>

So do life energies. They're called "energies" for a reason, even though they aren't really energy types.

Along with their very arbitrary rules.

<Snipped quote by Blabbo>

Peacefully, right?

I hope so! Those are some formidable opponents we have.
*chuckles*

<Snipped quote by Codify>

Along with their very arbitrary rules.

Correct. As do your preferred methods.

I’ll be around too. My schedule just opened up.

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

*chuckles*

Don’t go antagonizing them, again.

<Snipped quote by Blabbo>

Don’t go antagonizing them, again.

I won’t, I won’t.

<Snipped quote by Server>

Correct. As do your preferred methods.

*Sighs*
They’re not arbitrary at all.

<Snipped quote by Source>

I’ll be around too. My schedule just opened up.

Perfect. We can both do some research and rendezvous soon.
*Stands up*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Cranes my neck to look at my boat behind me and in a split second decision, bursts into a backwards leap, embedding the point of my scythe into the dull wood of the vessel with a thud, locking it in place and dangling from the handle above the river's water*

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

*Snips the thread in two, adopting a scarlet hue before dissolving in either direction*
This was fun.

*Several of us observe, silently*

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Perfect. We can both do some research and rendezvous soon.
*Stands up*

Just play it by ear? Meet up when we’ve got something worth sharing?

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

I won’t, I won’t.

Even though I’d wager everyone’s only in one of a handful of places.

<Snipped quote by Source>

Just play it by ear? Meet up when we’ve got something worth sharing?

Mhm, or when you’re ready to head out.

<Snipped quote by Codify>

*Sighs*
They’re not arbitrary at all.

They completely are.

<Snipped quote by Server>

They completely are.

*Continues*
In fact, I can prove it. Your first example, technology, usually requires electricity, which doesn't function the same in every universe that it exists in. It requires arbitrary universal laws to be a certain way, otherwise, if it even exists in a universe, it won't work the same as in another. If you take technology that requires any arbitrary power-source, it is subject to arbitrary universal laws being different that can change the way it works, if it works at all, in ways that are arbitrary. Even direct reality manipulation has to be changed to some arbitrary, varying degree to be able to influence different dimensions the same way. Normal magic is basically an IE already, so you saying that it's somehow less random than strictly life-based IEs is asinine. Half the time "normal" magic is already life-based in some way anyway. Meanwhile, life-based IEs, while not uniformly this way, do have a great number of them that work the same in every single universe they can exist in. Which happen to include all the ones that I can use, by the way. So yes, life-based "energies," especially the ones I use in particular, are less random or arbitrary than your examples. Check.

That is fine.
*Reaches out and grips your forearm in the same manner*
I wouldn't burden anyone with the knowledge unless they plan to join us.

Stilgar:... that may very well be a possibility, but it must be discussed in further. Your friend, Shinji of Dhakar Sietch... he tells us stories of the destruction your enemy caused. Any enemy of our people, Shinji included, shall meet an end under the justice of our blades.

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Watches, but keeps my mouth shut*

Shinji: *nods, and then remains silent, as soic as a guard on duty*

Stilgar: ...now that our small problem has been resolved, we will begin with a small history lesson. For you to suceed belnding in with our people, you must know the lanf as if it were your very own. As if you were born here. Understood? We will camp here in this cave for the remainder of this lesson. I have neough food and water for us all for 3 days. I suggest you begin studying quickly.

Neeee. I guess.
