Like what?

@Nimda

It’s a special engine that I need time to make. Gotta write the right runes and place them in the correct spot.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Raises an eyebrow*
What sort of things are popping into your head?

@Audacious

Just a small idea of helping them.

@Galvanize

You make engines?

[Audacious]

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Oh, gotcha. Does that pop up often?

@Nimda

Often enough for it to occupy a lot of time.

@Galvanize

A small idea, huh?

[Galvanize]

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

You make engines?

@Nimda

I can make one type of engine. That is fueled by magic and runes.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

A small idea, huh?

@Audacious

*chuckles*
Yeah a small one.

[Nimda]

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

@Audacious

Huh. You’d think they’d eventually run out of stuff to find.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

*chuckles*
Yeah a small one.

@Galvanize

How does that work?

@Galvanize

I don't get the impression that you have small ideas.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Huh. You’d think they’d eventually run out of stuff to find.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

How does that work?

@Nimda

Even if it’s not direct elemental knowledge, there’s all kinds of history around it. Once upon a time, it was a more common practice and many more cultures existed around it.

@Audacious

Across a lot of universes?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

How does that work?

@Nimda

Writing the right runes can be time consuming as each “letter” could create something entirely different if strung together wrong.

@Audacious

Probably not, but seeing how far I can go to be under them is interesting.

[Audacious]

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Across a lot of universes?

@Nimda

Yep, we suspect there’s at least a little bit of its presence historically in all. Not so much these days though.

@Galvanize

Just don't say it's small and do something crazy.

@Audacious

Is it really crazy to want to join the Big X?
*ponders for a moment*
What’s a Big X?

[Audacious]

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

What’s a Big X?

@Galvanize

It’s a very tiny group of people who represent the best of the best in the IA, their penultimate protectors… That’s what they’re supposed to be, anyway. Not that they don’t do that job, but there’s just a lot more people out there now who are just as competent and doing the same thing.
…
And I’m not a member of the Big X, just to be clear. I don’t hold myself in that high of a regard. I just work for Rythian.

@Audacious

Who is an X?

@Galvanize

Sounds like chemistry.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

@Audacious

If your society was pretty isolated, how did it get everywhere?

[Galvanize]

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Sounds like chemistry.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

@Nimda

Almost! I would akin it to chemistry. But with words instead.

[Audacious]

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

@Galvanize

You’re doing that on purpose.

@Nimda

Huh?

[Galvanize]

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Huh?

@Audacious

I’m not? Is Rythian part of the X?

[Nimda]

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

@Galvanize

Word chemistry. Like a cheesy Valentine’s Day card.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Huh?

@Audacious

You said your people weren’t explorers or anything, so how did the hidden elements end up in so many places?

@Nimda

Yes, but it works. Unlike the card, which is sometimes.
