This morning, our intrepid villagers awoke to a surprise of the nicer kind: A bundle of clothing left at the foot of their bed, tied with a bow. There is also a note: Put on your new outfit and join the festivities in the corn field next to the inn.

You may be thinking, what corn field next to the inn? The one that sprung up fully-mature overnight, of course.

In the middle of the field, villagers will find an autumn feast: Tables piled with harvest time food and drink, warm and rustic decorations, the day's sunshine fending off any chill in the air.

Tuck in and enjoy, villagers, but take note: Things often look different in the dark, and you might be one of them.

"I don't want it to get weird. I just want this all to be easy and comfortable for all of us. Have you talked to him yet? Does he know about us?" He strokes Tony's back.

[nonstopnarcissist]

"I've spoken to him, yeah, we discussed magic. Or at least how it works in your world- he knows I know you but I didn't bring us up." Gentlemen don't kiss and tell- but Tony's no Gentleman, it just. Didn't come up as important.

[ataashihunter]

Bull nods. "Alright. I might though. If it comes up. I am not intending on keeping this a secret." He smiles at Tony. He figures the other won't have any issue with that. "And he'd know better than I do how magic works."

[nonstopnarcissist]

"I'm not exactly keeping this quiet either." He huffs, leaning in to Bull's side as best he can in his current costume. "Mostly trying to understand the theory. It...kind of makes sense? A little. Compared to how it's usually described to me."

[ataashihunter]

"Magic is just... I don't know. It is scary and useful at the same time. Those of us who don't have it... it reminds us how small and weak we are compared to those who do."

[nonstopnarcissist]

"...Yeah. That's caused a bit of a problem back home for me too." He closes his eyes, letting himself just. Hang against bull for a moment. "Enhanced frighten people. Trying to write legislation around the concept is difficult."

[ataashihunter]

Bull nods. "I can only imagine. In my world there is a lot of different stuff. The Qunari, we take it further than most. Mages isn't even considered people, just things." He sighs. He doesn't think it is right.

[nonstopnarcissist]

"...I don't think I need t tell you how supremely fucked up that is." Different worlds, different standards but-

Hydra, Wanda, the files about the twins, the stones, human experimentation- he grimaces, twitching in remembrance.

[ataashihunter]

"Well, if it makes it people even non mages are considered mostly parts of a whole. That is why we function the way we do, without the names and everything. You're just a part of a larger whole."

[ataashihunter]

Bull nods. "Alright. I might though. If it comes up. I am not intending on keeping this a secret." He smiles at Tony. He figures the other won't have any issue with that. "And he'd know better than I do how magic works."
