Fellow Foreigners of Keeliai, I ask that you indulge me in what could be a bit of census-taking!

In the interest of further defending this turtle and those who reside upon it, I wish to know and take note who among us are versed in magicks and similiar abilities. I feel it would suit our collective purpose better to have this information compiled, perhaps look into how our respective crafts interact or can be enhanced. Please, come forward, fellow casters; tell me your name and tell me your arts!

In the interest of fairness and demonstration of goodwill, I will state my own. I am Ixis Naugus and I specialize in, of course, Ixian magicks. The focus of such being the control and transformation of the four elements: air, water, fire and earth. I am a master of all four as well as a fifth of my own making, the transformation of matter into crystals nigh indestructible.

Come forth and make yourselves known, wizard heroes of Tu Vishan!

It is quite handy indeed. I don't know what I would do if I had to walk everywhere. Walking is highly overrated sometimes. As for my other abilities...well...just the usual: Any terrible injuries to my body I can heal up quite nicely. Telekinesis...invulnerability to diseases...I don't think that those would all be considered light though. I'm an angel if that helps.

I'm pleased that you see fate in much the same way that I do. Fate never did anything, but hold us all back from our potential if you ask me. It sounds like fate has a way of taking care of those that wield too much power though.

[ixis]

An angel? A celestial being? Quite the discrepancy here, as I was under the impression beings of your type were in cahoots with the Ancient Walkers, our fate-keepers! I suspect your capriciousness goes further into the realm of rebellious, hmm?

[knewtoomuch]

Never heard of these Ancient Walkers. If that happens to be code for those that desire partying then they would be right up my alley....but in all seriousness, you are quite perceptive. I essentially did rebel, but not so publicly as some of my other brethren did before and after me.

Sometimes faking death is necessary to avoid all the red tape.

[ixis]

The Ancient Walkers I suspect are exclusive to my zone, but I have found parallels with others. As I said, stewards of fate. Beings transcendent who oversee the workings of us mortals and make sure they go as planned. Frightfully presumptuous of them, really. Sounds like the same complaints were leveled with your glorified zookeepers.

Oh, heavens, don't I know. Or 'unexplained disappearances, presumed dead'. I didn't even have time for the red tape of making up a murder scene. I'm a busy man with places to be, all of them not where I was presently.

You are an intriguing being to be sure, Sir Angel.

[knewtoomuch]

Very close, if not painfully so, to the ones from my world. Once the overseer, in my case the creator of all, disappeared then the most loyal ones stepped forward to take that place. They might as well have been these Ancient Walkers.

It should have been so easy to fake my own death, but I had to plan it accordingly. It would've worked out absolutely fantastic. Some just cannot help, but stick their noses where they do not belong.

Well, that's flattering indeed! No need for the Sir Angel, as lovely as that sounds to be frank. Balthazar is what I go by.

[ixis]

Yes, continued parallels there. The Walkers were not the creators, but there near the beginning and soon took it upon themselves to act as guardians. Bah, the more I think back on them, the gladder I am their time has drawn to a close.

[He's also honoured that his own escape from exile is what indirectly did the Walkers in, but let's not go boasting things we don't need others hearing and assuming the worst from.]

Oh truly, truly, the do-gooders and the busybodies. I have a particular thorn in my side back where I come from. Or should I say quill. Regardless, they're a tiresome lot and I do hope people here are a bit more sensible and mature. Your own introduction here gives me hope towards such! A pleasure, Balthazar. I am Ixis Naugus, sorcerer supreme.

Perhaps my own world will fall into that one day and the creator and anything like them that wants to keep everything under a specific fate will die off on their own. I'd like to see an age of choosing one's own fate. Maybe that's what here is for.

[He would love to hear that story sometime. Maybe later and he will tell Ixis about how he stole weapons from Heaven. Indeed all for another time.]

I already find the inhabitants here to be more amiable. Even the ones with sticks up their asses. They are at least entertaining enough to watch. Always nice to sit on the sidelines and not having to be forced into participating.

[He will bow his head slightly in greeting.]

May your other chance meetings be just as lucrative in the friendly spectrum as this one has been, Ixis. It is delightful to have intelligent conversations every now and then.

[ixis]

[Naugus returns the nodded bow, raising his claw as well.]

Agreed. Don't be a stranger should I ever speak on the network again. I will keep an eye out for you and your endeavors as well.

[knewtoomuch]

Well then. All I can really say here is 'Until next we meet' and all that.

[This chance meeting could become quite lucrative. He gives a friendly waggle of his fingers before the feed cuts off here.]
