Twenty-second Spell

[courageous_wit]

I've been gathering some data and hope everyone is willing to help me. For those of you who have people here from your world, did you all know each other before coming to Paradisa? Is there anyone who found out they were from the same world as someone else, but otherwise found no connection?

I've noticed that every person who has come from my world is someone I either personally knew, encountered at one point, or knew through friends. I'd like to know if other people have experienced the same thing.

[Zelos sees this entry! And since he's looking into the same stuff, he's very interested! He can't talk right now, but maybe he can write something!]

[Except when he tries...it all turns into incoherent scribbles no matter how much he tries]

[Well. Crap.]

[courageous_wit]

Erm, hello? Was someone trying to communicate with me?

[wilder]

[He tries again, writing slower- but once again- scribbles]

[courageous_wit]

[she can't understand scribbles, sorry Zelos]

If you're a resident wanting to know what I find out, you're welcome to listen in.

[He knows, he knows. Stupid deal making witch. He just lets out a voiceless sigh- which just sounds like a puff of air with no way to tell who it is but hey you know SOMEONE is on the other end]

[assassino]

I've only met one person from my time who I knew... the other, I know her father, but I had never known about her. Everyone else is from hundreds of years ahead or behind of me.

[courageous_wit]

How did you find out you were all from the same world?

[assassino]

[He still hasn't figured out this world stuff :( Confused...]

We're all from Earth.

[courageous_wit]

Many of us are from Earth, but different versions of Earth. At the moment I'm classifying a person's "world" as their specific version of Earth, or whatever planet they come from.

For example, my "world" has a long history of magic and wizardry. Whereas in other versions of Earth, that history does not exist.

[assassino]

[He has no idea.]

We have witches and wizards, though there is debate over whether they are real. How are you supposed to tell?

[modernholmes]

I think I already talked to you about this.

[Dictated]

[courageous_wit]

Your answer was part of the reason I thought to ask for everyone else's experience.

Re: [Dictated]

[modernholmes]

I'd be interested in hearing if you find anything out.

[Ignoring how this serious comment sounds said in a child's voice.]

[courageous_wit]

Real witches and wizards don't usually show their power to the non-magical community unless it's an emergency.

You're welcome to listen in if you like

Re: [Dictated]

[modernholmes]

Thank you! I think this could be very interesting.

[assassino]

[If you could see Ezio's confused face right now.]

Are you really of the Devil?

[courageous_wit]

No, not at all. The magic in my world is born into you, just like people are born with red hair.

[assassino]

I see...

[courageous_wit]

I know it's a bit difficult to understand. I didn't understand my own magic until I received my Hogwarts letter.

[assassino]

How does one know they are magical?

[courageous_wit]

Many people are born into magical families, but there are some like myself and one of my friends who are in non-magical families. When I was a child there were many strange things happening that I couldn't explain.

Then I received my letter and someone from the school came to explain it to me. I'm not sure if that's how it's handled in other countries, though. The literature on that is a bit vague.

[assassino]

[Yes. Very confusing.]

So you know that you are from a different Earth for sure, then.

[courageous_wit]

[don't worry, Ezio, she'll keep talking as if you actually understand]

That is certainly a good way to tell one version of Earth from another. I've also found that historical events can differ. Something may have occured in your world that did not in mine.

[assassino]

How does one tell without listing off them all? And what if one person is from four hundred years ahead, and thus does not know much about history?
