[thirty nine] Ah, Paris.

[goodgrasshopper]

I've never been to Paris before.  Food, museums, art...

Thom!  Where are you?  We're going to get some culture.  And I think you need a beret.

They're made in factories--usually on assembly lines--out of metal, rubber and plastic. [beat] Plastic is a man-made material, and its strength varies depending on its thickness and composition.

Gasoline is a fuel, oil-based and combustible.

This is your world, then? How does magic fit into this?

[goodgrasshopper]

At the very least, it's similar to my world. Magic where I'm from isn't generally very public. Most people don't believe in it.

[giftedtwin]

How can they not believe in it? [Does not compute. :|]

[goodgrasshopper]

Magic isn't exactly public knowledge. Most people are content to believe that it's all just tricks ad sleight of hand--easily explained away.

[giftedtwin]

More fool them. The Gift shouldn't be something to be taken so lightly.

[goodgrasshopper]

I think it's easier for them to believe it's not real--and it's honestly easier for most of us to keep it that way. It certainly cuts down on frivolous requests for love potions or nonsense like that.

[giftedtwin]

Love potions. [Tch, some people. No respect for the Gift.]

Your world is strange. At least in mine, everyone knows. They may not like magic nor have the Gift, but there's no denying its power.

[goodgrasshopper]

I think the supernatural of my world are pretty content not to have to be constrained by human laws. It's easier if normal people don't know about them.

[giftedtwin]

Like I said, strange. We come from very different places.

[goodgrasshopper]

I think that's fair to say.
