Rebuilt Arthur's introduction once more, as I said I would in the PMs. It now fully agrees with your request, @Scio. However, my note on the sarcasm no longer applies.
I've edited Arthur's introduction as discussed via PM.
Had this written up for PM, but since it's public I may as well make my voice a touch louder.

I got to the third paragraph and lost my composure. I'm just gonna take it you aren't employed in any area which uses quantum mechanics, information theory, or other rather abstract sciences, but you took some introductory courses and, upon reaching a state of mindblown amazement, attempted to apply quantum phenomena to everyday science.

Shit don't work that way, bro.

If it did, the human brain wouldn't function. It uses electric impulses, after all. Using your given numbers, there are presently approximately 1 billion users of magic in the world. Using your pseudoscience, that many conflicting viewpoints in such close contact would no doubt cause informational shockwaves large enough to affect living beings in most of the world. Not only that, but technology would likely never get to the printed circuit era, as electricity would NEVER have any rhyme or rhythm to its function.

But let's assume that somehow we got to present-day tech without magic preventing it. The anti-tech field would affect cities faaaaar more heavily than this school. A city with a million people would have over one hundred thousand mages, while presently it seems the school has, at max, a couple hundred (and I am being quite generous). That means no elevators, no transportation, no air conditioning, and lots of other things that'd make all the benefits of cities nonexistent.

Do note that I haven't even started on why the outright "science" of yours is wrong. Unteaching an introductory course used to excite youngsters into tomorrow's disillusioned scientific force isn't something I care to do online.

While i'm not a GM, I do want to suggest that you read a few of the posts prior to yours and edit your post.

There's a bit too much going on for it to be likely that you could just helicopter-drop into the dead center. For starters, Junko's fog would prevent any pilot from attempting to land, and I don't think it needs to be stated directly that non-magical elements can't affect her fog, or else it would have been blown away by now. And while I understand that you were aiming for some super-cool insert, it just isn't exactly feasible based off what's going on right now.


I did read the posts. I didn't drop dead center of your little brawl - maybe you should read my post.

If the helicopter's slipstream has no effect upon the mist, then it can be concluded that the mist is uncounterable and overpowered, leading to a need to nerf the ability. Mist is water hanging in the air; it stands to reason that when the air moves REALLY FAST in one direction, the water carried by it will be, at risk of redundancy, carried away with it. If nonmagical effects cannot interact with magic, then the opposite should also be true; why, then, would magic make technology have issues?

And to be incredibly blunt, I don't care whether you find it feasible. There's plenty of imaginary field space for the both of us.

If I'm the only person thinking this way, that's fine, feel free to ignore me, but I think there's a bit too much going on right now for any of us to want to drop what we're all doing and pay attention to Arthur's flamboyant arrival.



Did I once say that Arthur had everyone's attention? Nah, not once. Do I want everyone's attention? Nah. I want everyone to act in-character as they would in the situation. While sure, a helicopter's arrival may be somewhat distracting, I'd say that I'd be a bit more focused on not getting my ass kicked by a girl.
@Scio Nope. Not yet, at least. He summons the sword and gets a bit faster and stronger presently.
I'm done working on relations, yes. I just need a few more days to get some things in order outside of the web before I can get back to roleplaying things.
