( What Thea is keeping to herself is that she took quite some time to get accustomed to the way these devices facilitate communication. Ellipsa's world has gone far beyond hers in terms of technology, and she wonders just how much of that is due to the seeming proliferation of magic.

Point being, Cinder offered enough of a trial by fire that she finally feels confident enough to attempt sending out her own message. )

Good day, fellow Otherworlders.
My name is Thea and I am a relatively recent transplant to this place. After some time studying the technology and magic of this world, I find myself wondering how unusual Ellipsa's technology is within the context of the, well... The multiverse, I suppose it is.

To put it simply: does your own world possess both magic and such advanced technology? Or are these two concepts exclusive of one another?

My thanks to those willing to indulge my curiosity.

I come from a world with neither.

But the previous world I was in at least had some manner of technology as well as magic. Not at the same level the technology is here, however.

( Hm, well that's interesting. And by "interesting" we mean mildly mindboggling. )

Nothing at all? Might I ask what sort of transport was available in your world?
And how would you compare the previous world you were part of to this one?

[rustyhonesty]

Horses and horse carts, mostly.

Magic was always present in everyday life in Avalon, but we otherworlders had to have a contract with a familiar to be able to do it. In a way, magic is more simple here - yet has more to offer in variety. Not only the seasonal abilities, but everything beyond it.

The technology was brought in as an after thought, to help otherworlders communicate with the each other. Originally it was just magical.

( Hm, well, that's an interesting note or three. )

It does seem as though this world's magic is highly varied. Though I cannot help but wonder the wisdom of offering such power to any otherworlder who happens to stumble into this situation.

Well, we haven't had problems so far. At least not big enough to be an issue.
