Why does your skin look the way it does? Is that normal in your plane?

[inexorableiron]

I'm an oread, dude.

[He says it simply, like this is incredibly obvious]

Yeah, other dudes don't recognize that word either. It's cool. Uh so basically like, my mom's family descended from earth djinn.

[ratiocinations]

[Yeah, that meant absolutely nothing to him, so he is glad for the clarification.]

Djinn...? [Oh, another fantastical concept he is going to have to slot into his brain as A Real Thing now.] And does your ability to be such a good, ah, bodyguard in part due to your lineage?

[inexorableiron]

Djinn, dude! Like, uh... aw shit. I've never had to explain that shit before. I guess, like... Well some languages use "genie," right? But that's the air dudes, they're the ones you're probably fuckin' thinking of, they're a different kind. Mom's family is jabali djinn.

And sure it helps! But mostly because she made sure we were trainin' on blades before we could even fuckin' talk.

[ratiocinations]

[Genie, djinn. He knows of both, of course, but not of the true differences; indeed, he is starting to believe he should have focused more on mythologies sometime during his career to better prepare for this day.]

Learning to defend yourself must have been the utmost priority.

[inexorableiron]

It's a cutthroat world, dude. Comes in real handy.

[ratiocinations]

Is it? I don't presume to know anything about your world.

[inexorableiron]

[he shrugs, then gestures around]

I mean, this fuckin' place is too so far.

[ratiocinations]

Oh, yes, but this is different from growing up in a world where young ones must learn how to wield a blade from early on.

[inexorableiron]

I guess, dude, but shit, I don't know any other kinda world. That's just fuckin' normal in a place with fuckin' asshole demons crawling out of the ground and like, you know, dragons and werebats and shit.

[ratiocinations]

Well, then tell me about yours! It sounds like something out of a book! What is it called?

[inexorableiron]

If that sounds like a fuckin' book to you, your world must be like a crazy weird ass fantasyland, dude.

It's Golarion. And I'm not even a sure like, what the fuck counts as booklike here. We got all kinds of things in all kinds of places.

[ratiocinations]

[laughs] Oh, no, my world is quite the opposite of that, from what I can gather. No dragons, no were-anythings. No magic.

[inexorableiron]

That sounds like a pretty wild freakin' fantasy to me! You stkll have like, goblins? Gods?

[ratiocinations]

There are several religions, each with their own god or gods. But if you mean to say that we see them going about their daily business on Earth, physically manifested, then no.

But no goblins. No ghosts. And no other races other than humans.

[inexorableiron]

[Hamn is just sort of in shock. It is so completely alien it scarcely registers]

None of it?! Dude! Nothing?

Holy shit dude. Do you even know what any of our fuckin' shit is like? Holy shit. Holy shit I bet you don't rven know about like, fucking clockwork or guns or forensics. Holy shit.

[ratiocinations]

[guns....]

I know what a gun is.

[FORENSICS....]

And I am somewhat familiar with the forensic sciences, actually.

[inexorableiron]

[He is simply burying his face in his hands and making strange muffled noises. They are ... in a strange sounding language.

After a long moment he pulls his face up with a little laugh]

But no clock, huh? No, that's cool, I can work with that. Fuck. Okay. Okay.

[ratiocinations]

[oh my god]

I know what a clock is, too. [hello????] My city is known, among many other things, for having a particularly large one. Goodness, man, just because I've never seen a real dragon doesn't mean I'm primitive.

[inexorableiron]

[Throwing up his hands]

Fuck me, man, you're the one sayin' it's completely fuckin' different! For the love of Desna's tits, dude. So you probably have all kinds of the same shit. Colleges and fucking taxes and undertakers and robots and all that shit.

[ratiocinations]

All except the "robots", if you mean complex automatons.

[inexorableiron]

The automatons are still people, dude.
