Interested in magic and research? Willing to exchange knowledge?

My good man, allow me to introduce myself! My name is Klarth F. Lester. I am a scholar and master Summoner of the world called Aselia.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Lester. A scholar and a summoner? I'm not interested in summoning, unfortunately, but you've caught my interest. Do you study other magics as well?

Oh yes, I study it plenty. Sadly, the only ones in my world who can use magic are specialized healers, elves or half-elves. Being human, all I can do that resembles magic is contract a summon spirit to use magic for me.

How about you, sir... ... Ah, how rude, I haven't even asked for your name yet!

No, my apologies as well. I should have introduced myself. My name is Zelgadis.

Just those with elven blood? That seems unfair. I suppose it's just a natural ability then, rather than a force harnessed through nature?

In my world, humans can cast magic, although its effects and abilities are grouped based on nature, the gods, or the mazoku. I specialize in shamanism.

Zelgadis... That is quite a unique name.

Oh yes, magic is born by utilizing the elemental mana that flows through one's body. Those of elven blood have easy access to it and can manipulate it without trouble.
Oh, in case you are unfamiliar with the term, mana is what we call the force of life in this world. It is... Well... a sort of energy, I suppose. Without it, the land would wither and living beings would die.

Mazoku... I don't think I've ever heard of that. But the word 'shamanism' does sound familiar. Isn't a shaman someone who communicates with spirits or ghosts?

I suppose it is.

The term mana is new to me, and your world seems very different from my own. But there are some similarities.

Mazoku... you might call them monsters. It's a race in my world. Rather than speak over this communicator, prehaps I could give a better explanation in person?

There are many different worlds out there. One of the similarities, however, is that we´re all suffering from the same problem; OSTA.

I would be thrilled to meet you in person, but sadly I'm already on a bit of an expedition. I have to guide a new friend of mine to a village overrun by zombies and poisonous fog. Perhaps, when I'm done with that, we can meet somewhere?

I had noticed the zombie problem. Monster troubles have been more than usual, lately.

When you have the time, let me know. In the mean time, take care.

Take care as well, sir Zelgadis.

Allow me to ask a question. Surely you've seen the portals, these gateways to magnificent new worlds, pock-marked across the various dimensions and worlds they connect to. Of course, you know of their existence, but can you even begin to comprehend how they work?

If it is research you seek, then it is research I have to offer.

I have seen them, yes. It's how I came across this device as well. I will admit, I took a great gamble just using one to travel without understanding it, but I don't believe I would have learned half as much as I know now if I had not.

The devices themselves do not interest me so much as what I can learn beyond them, with their help. But it would be a good idea to understand what it is I am using.

Ah, I should introduce myself. My name is Zelgadis. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking to?

Earth's administrator on behalf of our benefactors, Dr Wallace Breen. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Zelgadis.

I will gladly share what knowledge I have gathered about the teleporters. However, if that knowledge doesn't fully interest you, I do have much research and science to share from my own world.

Likewise.

I would be more comfortable discussing what sort of knowledge I am searching for in person. Would you mind if we met somewhere?

Not at all, I am always willing to meet potential business associates. Did you have a place in mind?

Unfortunately my version of Earth is fraught with conflict at the moment, so I must leave it to you to pick a suitable meeting place.

My home world is just fine. I'm not exactly sure how to show you how to get here, however. Should we meet in one of these cities that the teleporters all seem to lead to, or will you be able to get here without my help?

I am more than capable of reaching one of the cities, one just so happens to be within safe distance of me... only one teleportation away, as a matter of fact.

Alright, I'll meet you there and we can head to my world.

(Log? 8D Should I start, or do you want to?)

((Perhaps you should, cause it seems like RL is catching up to me. I won't be too long... damn real life... D:))

Studying the teleporters, I see? Interesting.

Very interesting, in fact.
