Um, hello again? I just wanted to let whoever wanted to know that trying to add the app to my brother's phone didn't work. It'd just delete itself every time I handed it back to him. So that's not good...but still, thank you to everyone who responded! It was really nice of you, I appreciated it a lot!

Haha, and I do have one other question, um...

Where should someone go to practice magic? It seems I got water and healing magic now, so is there a good place I can go to ... I don't know, learn witchcraft? Is that the right term? I really don't know.

Thanks again. Sorry for the bother.

Thanks, it's alright. I'm disappointed, but I already knew it'd be a long shot.

[At least he tried though]

Yeah, I got powers! Did you get anything?

maybe he'll be back online someday. that does happen. don't give up yet.

i did not! i mean, i sort of did? but not exactly something like magic. it is a little hard to explain...

Hehe, don't worry. I won't give up hope. Not on him.

Huh? What is it?

good!

and it's like...the ability to make stuff disappear, but it still exists?
i think the best way to describe it is hammerspace.
things just disappear now but they are always on my person if i know how to summon them.
i figured that out when i lost my keys earlier.
not as good as flight, but i guess it can be useful.

Whoa.
Sounds almost like video game inventory??
Is there a limit how much you can store away?

[Even if it's not as cool as flight, Elliot's still impressed!!]

right? that is kind of the cool part about it! i mean. i know a game is a huge thing where i am from but i cannot tell if the two are really tied together.
there has to be a limit but if there is i have no idea what it is yet. but i have only put away, like, three things.
it makes carrying stuff a lot easier! dave used his to carry birthday presents a few weeks ago.

That would have to be some game if it gave you a power like that.

Haha wow.
I'm actually a little jealous.
I have to carry around a staff and some weird device to help my power.
It'd be way more convenient if I had your ability.

i remember a little bit about it but not much. i think i will soon though.

also you do not get to be jealous just yet! you got a staff to go with the magic? that's even cooler! like a real mage or something.
...what kind of weird device though?

Okay. I hope it's a good game!

[Hope you don't get horrifically traumatic memories???]

Haha, thanks.
Oh it's-
lemme take a picture.

[ uploads a photo. Though the center gem on his is ~~blue~~ gray instead of red, and all the slots are sealed up except for the top one. ]

It's almost like a flip-phone.
But it helps you do magic?

i think it is how i met my friends back then. like in person. so everything else was worth it.

[Including the end of a universe and a meteor hitting his house, but uh. Let's not talk about those! There's a pause while he's looking at the photo then.]

something that channels your abilities. but almost kind of modern-ish? it LOOKS really neat, whatever it is. does it have a name?
and what's the hole for?

Aw. That's really sweet.

[John's friends sound so lucky to have him.]

Yeah, it's a lot more modern than you'd expect for something magical.
It's called an ARCUS.
The holes are apparently where you put quartzs into it?
And then you can cast more spells.
But I don't have any of those.
And I don't think it means the kind of quartz you buy at science gift shops.

[He could talk about his friends (or his perception of them) forever, but he drops the thread of conversation in favor of what else Elliot's saying.]

some people try to argue that science and magic are close together. usually i think those people are crazy, but maybe they are actually onto something.
an arcus. never heard of it. which makes sense, if it is something from another world.
the quartz sounds like power-ups then which is pretty sweet. if you have an item you can rotate spells through, you would be pretty unstoppable!
maybe there is a replacement or something you can find here if you don't have the quartz?

Haha, maybe they are. I don't really know enough about either to have an opinion on that.
Pretty unstoppable is probably overstating it...but having a lot of spells would probably come in handy!
Maybe there's a replacement, but I don't know what that'd even be.

aren't you also the one who said you doubted you would ever be able to fight because you only know music?
i think you need to start giving yourself a little more credit dude.

Haha.
All I did was get some a few magic spells.
Maybe once I'm sure I can last in a fight, I will.

[No, he never will give himself more credit. It's impossible]

with a little practice i am sure you will!
you don't get powers and then have them be useless, elliot. that just does not make any sense.

I don't know.
What about that kid in that Captain Earth with the power of Heart?
That was pretty useless.

[*Captain Planet- but really if anyone ever apped from that I'll eat my hat]

...good point.
but that kid did not have a really cool staff and arcus thing, so i think you are probably safe.

Yeah, probably...
Still, I bet I have a long way to go before I'm anything great.
Maybe I'll get there though.

you will.
they wouldn't start you with anything at all if you were not meant to do something great.
we just have to wait and see, i think.

Awwww, thanks John.
You're really sweet.

I bet you'll do something great too!

i am still waiting for flight, don't worry.
time is a weird, weird thing, elliot.
but if i think of anyone else who might be able to help you train i will let you know!

Haha, that it is.
I'm sure you'll fly one day.

I'd appreciate that! I'm not having much luck.

i think there is still time.
something is bound to come up :D

Fingers crossed!
