Hate to break it to you but where I’m from there is no dates labeled as such. We have A.D. and B.C. but that’s about it.
I have been thinking. It is entirely possible that the magic in this book is allowing me to communicate with other worlds. It is only a theory at the moment, but given the disparity between our knowledge of the world as we see it, it may still be accurate.

Interesting. That is my usual mode and color of text. I’m curious what you did on your end to show me. Since it showed up as a picture on this end.
I don’t know if technology in general has spirits. But if souls are a thing, I’d say I have as much of one as any other person.
The ink was still wet. I took a scrap piece of paper and transferred it onto a new section of...

You know, you’re not the first who’s said something like that. I dunno why it’s so odd though, I know a bunch of other automatons that feel like me! Then again they have blue matter as well… aaaa I’m backtracking our conversation sorry.
It is quite all right. This is a fascinating field of study for me. And very relevant to a particular problem I’ve been working...

Yikes… well, at least you’re not scared of dying. I may be an automaton, but I know I’m actually quite scared of dying. Dunno why though.
Souls fear what lies beyond their current existence. It takes years to come to terms with it, and some are never able to.
In that, you are quite startlingly human.

I wonder if I could change the font or color. Shall I assume it’s black too? Although I’ll respectfully disagree on the artistry of perfect order.
I suppose if technology had a spirit I could pretentiously call myself one of those.
Your text shows up in this… Actually, I wonder…
You say that in such a way that you do not believe technology has a spirit....

Oh geeze. That sounds kinda… harsh! Is there anything you can do about that?
That’s just the way things work. I had no choice in my occupation; my family has always been full of necromancers, and I’ve been trained in magic ever since I could talk.
I have accepted my fate. Necromancers learn when they’re young that they are going to have a much shorter...

Not like that one, no. Magic is no part of my being. In fact corporeality is entirely optional for me too. What does my text look like?
The bridge between the two must be where it trails off and feels tingly.
Your text is extremely regular, and, dare I say, aesthetically fucking ugly. There’s no flow, no artistry. It looks like a badly-made typing machine got...

Huh? Why, what’s your occupation?
I am a necromancer. While your age might be normally on the low end of average for most mages, for necromancers, it tends to be beyond our lifespan. My magic has eaten away so many years of my life that I don’t imagine I will live for much longer than a mere five years yet.
If I were to perform a major necromancy spell, on the...

Quite the contrary. I am taking notes and contemplating further study.

I don’t really replace it per say, just re-attach it. After 138 years one learns a thing or two about self-repair!
Oh! If that’s the case then sure, if we ever meet I’d be happy to let ya look at it.
138 years…
I would like to be able to live that long. But alas, the limitations of my occupation.
If you are able to find a way to visit me, try to have it be...

Perhaps?
Maybe I just liked the irony of having such a name.
Seriously rude now, you’re getting even worse. Are you like this to everyone, or am I a special case? My name’s Dirk, whether you want to know or not.
I fail to see any irony in having a name describing a fetish unless you actually enjoyed such a fetish.
My treatment of you is actually much more like how I treat...
steampoweredtimetravel:
Ahaha yeah same. I don’t time travel if I can help it, but heavens know how often I’ve lost an arm or leg on an adventure!
Cool! I’d be alright with that I think, just so long as it didn’t hurt or potentially destroy it.
It must be nice to simply be able to replace a lost body part. Would that we could develop the ability to do the same.
I would not harm your soul. I...

Horns and gray skin.

Not calling it a ‘depraved sexual fetish’ would probably be a start.
I’m pretty sure I’m not the politest person out there, but I don’t go around insulting people’s URLs and/or interests.
God, I’m laughing. It probably is so fucking depraved.
Who are you, overly sensitive man?
I call it the way that I see it. Do you have such a sexual fetish?
My name is Seishak. I am not...

Horrorterrors? That sounds like an absurd name. However, you are their mouthpiece, so if that is what they wish to be known as, then far be it from me to say otherwise.
The text does not actually bother me. I am used to reading...

Sounds to me like your books getting into the holiday spirit well before the holidays chap.
Well your book isnt exactly technology is it?
A movie is sort of like a play…only different? Im not quite sure how to explain it to someone who probably doesnt know what a tv is haha.
Holiday spirit? I am afraid I do not understand. There are no holidays in Direnla with such a garish...

It might be on account of me not being human.
Your connection feels strange, I can’t trace your signal.
Are you an automaton like the one I have been conversing with? The text is vaguely similar.
My connection, from what I have been able to gather, is of a purely magical nature compared to the technological one that many people I am communicating with are using.
