Magi-Engineerist

Sanzo’s already figured out that the combining of magic and science wasn’t taboo in many of the worlds other people came from, but it was still odd to hear someone talk about it so casually. The books sure weren’t giving him any ideas though. Might as well try to pick someone else’s brains. So with no forewarning, he drops himself into a nearby chair.

“What would lead to a worldwide ban on the combination of magic and science?” Sanzo asks bluntly. 

If the other doesn’t want to answer the question, they won’t. And that will be the end of it and Sanzo will go back to wasting his time.

When the man suddenly decided to plop down right at the same table as her and asked a question completely unprompted, Cassy raised an eyebrow. Though she wasn’t one to talk, the least you could do is say hi or introduce yourself first! But the question the other blond asked, it intrigued her. What would cause a worldwide ban? There was a lot of different things and depending on which one could go through outright heretical levels based on who you asked. Different countries had different values after all. 

[New Years is over, and I’m about to be on a bit of a better schedule since I’m starting work again- woo hoo! So like this for a starter with Cassy! I want her to get some more interactions (because she needs to not be cooped up in her workshop) but also bc I want to get her to Rank up!

It was so cold! Baby couldn’t believe Hyur-Ah’s lazy butt didn’t buy them a coat! He had to wake up extra early to find a store and grab one. He looked at his phone for the time and ran as fast as he could towards the meeting place. He finally saw Cassy and smiled at her as he waved his hands.

“Yeah! Sorry, my little brother forgot to buy a jacket so I had to grab one.” He said and panted a bit. He pulled his jacket close to himself as the wind picked up slightly. “I’m really excited to see these events! These sort of things weren’t really allowed back home.” At least, weren’t allowed for him being the heir and all. And, it especially wasn’t allowed once he became the leader.

“Yeah trust me, I can relate! If I knew it was going to be this freezing outside I would have brought a jacket or something. This thing can only retain so much heat!” She responded in a joking manner while flipping her collar over. At least her hands were nice and warm...

These kind of events? Was he from a strict background or something? Must suck not being able to do whatever you want, whenever you want.

“…you mean there are other sources of fuel that smell far worse?” While he was curious as to what these were, he could do without experiencing them for himself.

“I have not been to Fibonacci, but my residence is in Archimedes, so I can take us around there when we get to it.” Though he would have to depend on her for the former ward since he didn’t know his way around it. 

“Of course! Any type of innovation has to involve experimenting with anything and everything that can possibly help with your own research, within reason of course. Even if it stinks!” NO need to do something heinous like some of the magicians in the capital city does.

“PHEW! Its COLD!” Cassy said while shivering, her coveralls pulled fully up and over herself. Due to her old city being really warm most of the time because of all the engineering and different machines it was safe to say that being around the snow wasn’t something she was used to. Stamping her foot a little she waited outside the shop that they were supposed to be meeting at before going to Golden Ward for some of the winter activities going on.

“Heh heh, I can’t wait- especially with those other vehicles they have lying around...I wonder if there as fast as my own AFSMTD.” She said to herself with a smile before perking up when hearing the snow crunch of someone approaching.

“Does it not also have a foul odor?” The exhaust that came from the vehicles here which ran on gasoline was repulsive, and he could only imagine what such a thing was doing to the quality of air, and nature itself. There were far better, cleaner sources of energy that could be used, instead.

“Oh? Perhaps we should try locating these stones. If that fails, then we will have to purchase these weapons you speak of.” Either way, it sounded like an interesting, and slightly promising experiment that he wanted in on. “Should we try to see this as far as we can, then?~”

“Yeah it does, but honestly it doesn’t smell half as bad as some of the other fuels we’ve tried out back in Machina.” She’ll never forget the smell of the Darkian fruit they attempted to use. The whole city smelled of it and no work could be done for an entire week while everyone furiously cleaned their workshops and homes without rest.

Jade’s interested in what the stranger is doing, in part because he’s a curious little eel. He’s bored, and he’s willing to cause chaos if it will entertain him, but he’s not so bored as to cause harm or real trouble to someone else. So he just smiles more and leans in to look at the music box.

“Pretty thing,” he comments. It is, and it must be worth something to be repaired like that; it’s looking like it’s taking some effort on her part. He stands up straighter and looks at her with a soft, almost friendly smile. “Are you good at fixing things, then?”

“Yeah even I’ve got to admit that it is. I’m not usually interested in dainty, royalty-style artisan stuff like this but the story of it was so interesting that I couldn’t help but to accept the job.” She replied casually while taking out smaller tools more suited for this kind of repair.

Baby had spent most of time flying about and learning to control his broom. And, for once, Hyur-Ah was nice enough to give him tips to keeping himself balanced.

“If only we can keep this broom! It makes everything so much easier!” He said to Hyur-Ah. All he got was a sound of agreement. He decided to let him rest and continue to fly about. He stopped the broom when he heard someone call out to him and flew down.

“Oh, Cassy! Yes, I am!” He beamed happily at her, until he realized what she was wearing and nearly fell off his broom.

“Ca-Ca-Cassy, what happened to your clothes???”

It was good to see him again and that he was having fun too! It’d be a shame not to have a lot of merriment during this night after all! And he was dressed as a wizard? No, it was a witch outfit wasn’t it? Either way it was pretty cute on him! Though she was pretty shocked when he almost fell off his broom.

“Woah hey, don’t fall off! Falling onto the pavement ain’t really fun ya know!”

Cassy couldn’t stop grinning, something she hasn’t done in a long while. But the look of happiness was offset by the fact that she was twirling around a spiked club and had a basket attached to her side. This Halloween stuff was pretty freaking fun and she was deep within the vibe of it all. Sure a few people who got too taken with their costumes after eating the candy tried to attack, but a few bashes here and there easily took care of that!

“This is probably a bit too fun, it almost makes me wish he had Halloween back on Graffitti. The candy and desserts they’re giving out is pretty freaking good too.” She said to herself before squinting at something, no- someone who was not too far away from here that she recognized.

“Cheers!” Cassy and a bunch of other people at the local bar shouted out as they clinked their glasses of beer, wine, and other alcohol together in merriment. A lot of the adults decided to gather together and have their own Trick or Treat party and admirably it did get a little wild at the first bar, which resulted in a lot of people getting their asses knocked flat. In the den of wizards, crocodiles, and sexy angels, Cassy was dressed in Oni costume that was recommended to her about a week back since her job was requiring it for the celebration. While she was a bit hesitant at first, it quickly jumped out the window with both the party and those candies they were handing out.

‘Man, who knew it felt so good to cut loose! Or maybe that was the bloodlust.
