[He thought a good night’s sleep would cure him from this weariness, but when he woke up in the room he remembered seeing in his dream well that was more than enough information to let him know this was real. It’s not the giant turtle that gets to him or even this sector with canals and fountains. No, it all reminds him of home. What gets him is him being drafted into some unknown war by some noble. That’s unreal. Maybe if he were a knight, it’d be different, but he discarded that idea some time ago.

Playing with the console he was taught how to use, he figured he may as well see if he can really transmit a message. If he was fooled, well, it’ll make him look like an idiot to anyone within an earshot of him. If he wasn’t, then this would be a good way to find some useful information.]

So, we’ve been brought here to fight a war, right? I’m sure that’s a question you’ve all heard lots of time from newbies like me. I get that, really, but shouldn’t I get some say in whether I want to fight? [His voice sounds weary, still tired from all this despite getting sleep. More or less finding displeasure in this situation.] Whatever, I’m stuck here, aren’t I? May as well do what I can. [Not that he sounds enthusiastic about this.]

Is there some sort of training facility around? I mean, if they want us to fight, we gotta keep up with our skills, right? If not, I’d love to have a sparring partner or two. [He grins at this point, excited at the thought of fighting otherworldy people. Are they strong? Can they actually put a scratch on him? If they can kick his ass then that’s even better. It’ll help Yuri get stronger.]

Also, I was told I needed to ‘find a job’. [He almost scoffs at this statement. The only jobs he’s had are guild jobs. Oh, and being a knight, but that didn’t go well.] I’m pretty handy with a sword and a spatula, so there’s my resume. [Cooking is even better because that gets him close to sweets to satiate his sweet tooth. He’d call that pretty even pay.]

Well, hope this went through. If not, then I probably made myself sound like an idiot trying. [He gives a lopsided grin, chuckling at the end as he’s trying to figure out how to send this and turn it off. After a few seconds of fumbling, he finally gets it.]

[ His eyebrows rise, but if the guy doesn't want to talk about it, Tony isn't going to pester him. He understands keeping secrets as well as the next person. ]

Fair enough.

[jailbreaks]

[The secret is he hates studying, no... really.]

So, can you use magic?

[manofiron]

Nope. This is a magic-free zone. I've seen it in action a few times. That's about it.

[jailbreaks]

Magic-free, huh? Can't say I'd know what it's like to live in a world without it. I guess it's just too commonplace where I'm from.

[manofiron]

Guess we're even. I can't imagine what it's like to live with it everywhere.

[jailbreaks]

Guess so. [He chuckles.]

Though it might not be such a bad thing without magic. People get too accustomed to it then, bam, no more magic source. [He's talking about what they're planning for his world... but again, details. He doesn't like giving context too much.]

[manofiron]

Can't say I've got any horses in that race. Seems like cheating, wiggling your fingers and getting everything you want just because you want it. I'll take science over magic any day.

[jailbreaks]

Aren't science and magic the same thing?

[manofiron]

Not where I'm from.
