[queencrimson]

Hello.

[Nodding in greeting, and then looking down at herself.] Little Witch loaned me the dress. I guess to keep me from questing to prepare for a quest?

[experiencepoints]

Maybe i should have gone to her, too. That- That looks really good.

[queencrimson]

[Laughing.] Whoever you went to did fine. You look good.

[experiencepoints]

Ah-

[two reflexes start fighting over MUST DENY vs SHIT NO THE ROSE THINGY]

Th- Thanks. It was really hard to get, so...

[queencrimson]

[Somewhere, Songbird is laughing his ass off.]

It was well worth the effort. Now...

[PULLING OUT...HER BOOK?]

You mentioned before, you were interested in my magic?

[experiencepoints]

Yes-! Your magic is amazing.

[RAPT ATTENTION GET

i mean, in a different sense than you already had it]

[queencrimson]

[Laughing, a little awkward.]

I...didn't think it was that amazing, but I've remembered how some of it works.

[experiencepoints]

You killed a god with it. Also, it is completely unlike anything where I'm from... Can you teach me? I don't know if it's compatible with my systems, but I'd like to try.

[queencrimson]

I can try. I'm not sure how successful I'll be until I remember more, however.

I should warn you it's not exactly pleasant magic.

[experiencepoints]

What do you mean?

[queencrimson]

I mean...

[Opening the book to an equation.] This causes necrosis in order to prevent healers from effectively healing the victim.

[experiencepoints]

Oh, status effects. I don't have any like that, but I know the applications and theory on them.

[queencrimson]

...I believe it's slightly different? After all, it's a continually damaging effect...

[experiencepoints]

Sounds powerful... A status with multiple effects like that is pretty hard to come by. I've only got Sleep, Slow, and Paralyze, and Sleep's the only one of those that works reliably.

[queencrimson]

Most of the ones I remember do damage over a period of time like that. Miasma is simply the one that causes necrosis.

I believe it makes it more difficult for them to move for a time, as well.

[experiencepoints]

Damage, slow, and a healing debuff? Holy shit. It must have a hell of an MP cost.

[queencrimson]

MP...? You mean the amount of mana it requires?

It's not really that much.

[experiencepoints]

Yeah, that's right. Sorry, your stuff is so similar to my world's I forgot we wouldn't use the same terminology...

Does it not do much damage, then?

[queencrimson]

Not particularly, but...it does a small amount continually over a little less than thirty seconds.

[experiencepoints]

That sounds ridiculously powerful... And you have a sort of continuous summon on top of that?

[queencrimson]

Mhmm. The other spells I remember also cause damage over time. Organ failure and internal bleeding.

[experiencepoints]

... And you killed gods with these.

[queencrimson]

I guess so? It's not like I remember the killing.

[experiencepoints]

Holy fuck.

[queencrimson]

You're going to embarrass me, like that.
