I am experimenting with the broadcasting abilities of this device. It would seem it can create text of this nature simply when I communicate the words to it? Fascinating! Ahahaha! Indeed, it even captures my laugh! Ahaha... how delightful...

[ well, u know, it's delightful to him, anyway. brain-to-text laugh is some good and important technology. ]

Well, it would seem that this network is not censored, so shall we speak freely? What do you all make of this city-state? It would seem an eclectic one. The people and the wildlife seem... though somewhat unorthodox, contented. No, more than contented. They seem quite proud. A mixed society with a strong identity tied to a city-state. And yet the world is an eccentric one, you might say.

But is the eccentricity merely a curious byproduct of a world which has been evolving since the most ancient times and now also has futuristic technology, or is there something more deliberate or coordinated at work?

Thoughts and findings?

I've seen a god summon a legion of undead to fight in their service, but I've never heard of a lone mage doing so, and not for people who are long, long gone. At least, I assume that's what a 'Master' is. They must be a mage, right?

[gilgamess]

Indeed, you are correct!

[ William really does seem like a quick study. ]

In my timeline, beings such as myself are summoned by the Chaldea organization, which mixes magic and technology... rather befitting this world, I suppose. For generations, there has existed a Mage Association, consisting of Masters who summon heroic spirits, but often for more localized conflicts. They are indeed magi.

In my world, we also had gods and the undead... that Ereshkigal was the mistress thereof. She was here, also, but seems to have disappeared. Back to her work in the Underworld, I suppose.

Though it sounds as if your past is not precisely ordinary and contains some heroic or legendary elements...

Oh, no, I'm quite ordinary. Hahaha.

I'm just a paladin seeking to live in such a way as befits my god. I just happened to have some very good teachers and a good family this time.
