[ Might as well talk to people on the network - it's not like he's got anything better to do right now. The observant viewer may note that the corn over his shoulder appears to be quite scorched, but he has neither his suit nor an immediate source of fire handy. ]

Congratulations, you broke science.

'Infinitely'? What do you think I am - an elf?

[hexuality]

Do you want to be?

[fe_male]

Depends on the fantastical setting. Tolkien elves get a pretty good deal, aside from all that magic.

You lost me there. We've got house elves back home, but that's about it.

[fe_male]

Is that like the little cobbler elves mixed with the little Keebler elves?

[hexuality]

... What?

video;

[fe_male]

The house elves.

[hexuality]

They're just—I don't know, yeah, little things that can do magic and are really brilliant cooks. Not every family has one, they're a luxury.

[ so probably closer to the keebler ones then ]

What, do they charge out the nose for these services?

[hexuality]

No, they're usually employed by really old families. [Not that the Weasley family isn't an old, pureblooded family because they are, but being blood-traitors means losing certain privileges.] Maybe the Weasley family had one generations ago but we set it free. I wouldn't be surprised.

[ Set it... ] Wait, so they're like indentured servants? A whole species of them?

[hexuality]

Erm. Yes?

[fe_male]

Huh. Okay.

[hexuality]

It's unusual if you didn't grow up with it, I know.

video;

[fe_male]

Little bit. I'll get over my global solipsism eventually.

I expect a lot of worlds are unusual to others. Most people seem confused when I deliver post with my owl. I think stamps are odd, myself. So there's that.

[fe_male]

Well, stamps are odd. If you think about them at all. Owls aren't too far off from the whole carrier pigeon idea, at least.

[hexuality]

Yes, exactly. Well done. And handwritten things feel more personal, anyway.
