I wish to speak of magic.
[Loki lifts a hand and a ball of green light appears in his palm.]
Some consider it a science, others mere...trickery...
An illusion but naught else.
[He breathes on to the orb and it cracks; veins of light jagging across its surface, then a small dragon starts to emerge, as if hatching.]
It is hard to consider magic in a place such as this, that feels so sterile and dark. But, I think, there are many among us who come from places where the arcane is not so alien.
And we long for that...
For some mystical light, to illuminate the darkness.
[He lowers his hands and the little dragon hovers in place, flapping its glowing wings.]
To give us wonder, once more.
Who here knows about magic, and its practice? And to whom is it naught but a lie.
[He frowns and waves his fingers through the dragon, causing it to dissolve.]
Miles, I already know your answer, so you need not respond.
((ooc: People who admit to knowing/using magic will go on Loki's "stalker list", just in case that is something you'd like to avoid.))

What is your experience with magic?

They help other people. Usually healers, but they fight when they're called on.
[ Sometimes, they mend stockings. ]

Do not presume all sorcerers to be so wicked.

It is not caution to approach a man you have never met and tell him you do not trust him, due to the actions of others in a world you are no longer in and he has never seen. That, I believe, is called prejudice.
[He waves a scolding finger]
And it is terribly rude.

Fine. I suppose it was a little presumptuous that I thought you were an evil blood mage and I apologize.

Now that we have that out of the way, I propose a more proper introduction.
Have you a name?
video
And you are?

Well met, Alistair.
