DIALOGUE PROMPTS.

“ can you hear me? hey… [NAME], can you hear my voice? “

“ come on… wake up. please… please wake up… “

“ oh! oh, thank god! i thought we lost you… “

“ hey, hey… look at me, okay? you gotta get up now. you think you might be able to walk? ‘cause they sent for back-up, and if they find us… we cannot let them find us. understand? “

“ go, go! save yourself! i’ll buy you some time! “

“ we both know i’m not walking out of this one. it’s okay, alright? it’s okay… just… do me a favor, will you? will you make them pay for this? i don’t care how. but… don’t let them get away with it. “

“ hey, how badly are you hurt? can you move? you think you can walk? “

“ if you can’t walk, i’m gonna have to carry you, alright? we can’t stay here. “

“ hey, look at me. i’m slowing you down, we both know it. it’s okay. i’ll hide and wait for back-up; you get yourself out of here. “

“ you’re gonna need to climb up on my back, you’re slowing us down with that injury. “

“ will you quit talking like that?! i’m not leaving you behind! “

“ what the hell are you doing here?! i told you to get out of here! “

“ you’re shivering… hey. hey, listen to me, okay? everything’s gonna be alright, i promise. here… take my jacket. don’t worry, i’m warm-blooded. “

“ i’ll get blood on your shirt… “

“ hey, don’t you dare close your eyes, you hear me? you die in my arms, and i’m gonna stick the dry-cleaning bill for this shirt in your coffin, that’s a promise! “

“ i know we almost died just now, but… am i the only one who’s hungry? “

“ we need to get you to a hospital… “

“ hey, come on now… you’re okay. you’re good, right? “

“ i must be hurt pretty bad if you’re being this nice to me. “

“ quit playing the martyr. we’re not leaving you behind. “

“ you know, i hate to be the negative voice, but… did… did we just lose? “

“ look at me… i’m not gonna make it. it’s okay, i’m fine with that. but… you can’t stay here. you’ve got a good long life ahead of you. and you’re smart, too; too smart to wait around here and waste that long life. so you get out of here, and you go live that life. live it for both of us. will you promise me you’ll do that? “

“ back-up isn’t coming. is it? we’re on our own, right? “

“ can’t sleep, huh? it’s okay. it’s probably all that adrenaline and shock; i can’t sleep, either. wanna keep each other company? “

“ i don’t give two shits about the back-up; i’m just happy you’re alive. “

A short, but bound to expand, list of some important places and concepts derived from Veric’s lore.

𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 & 𝐂𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

⦿ The Great Continent — informal/colloquial name for the landmass housing many locations and structures central to the arcane sciences; regionally, the continent is formally referred to by a number of various names, most commonly Atoi in southern regions, Rembron in the furthest northern settlements, and Atar in some of the larger cities on the far western coast, along with a number of names given from other civilizations across the wider world. In the Mirror Basin, whose residents are a mixture of travelers and immigrants from around and without the continent, the name Great Continent is most often used so as to avoid confusion. ⦿ The Mirror Basin — a large impact basin home to a number of cities and smaller settlements, resting near the east coast of the Great Continent. The largest of its boroughs, Magai, is a common destination for travelers the world over in search of education in or practitioners of the arcane sciences, a “floating” city held aloft over the basin’s drainage by the last remnants of a large, hollowed boart deposit first uncovered some thousand years ago. Dotted around Magai, which lies near-center in the basin, can be found the smaller cities Lovo, Arca, and Ambis.The easternmost edge of the basin sees conflict from time to time, the result of outside aggressors seeking to claim the last of Mirror Basin’s greatest and most valuable boart deposit. ⦿  Arv-En Institute of Arcane Science — most often shortened to “the Arv-En Institute”, or simply “Arv-En”, and considered the foremost academy of arcane sciences on the Continent, and possibly in the world. A school that teaches every major discipline of arcane science: from more practical and widespread studies such as alchemy, arcane runology, arcane biology, and common enchantment; to more esoteric or specialized departments comprised of the likes of divination, attunement and artifice, and the more theoretical spiritual arcaea. Students of all ages are accepted for various courses of study that differ in length and intensity dependent on the subject matter. Those who graduate from the school with honors are often granted annual research stipends if any or all of their work is contributed back into the institute for educational purposes, and a great portion of professors and instructors of the institute receive both a regular salary for teaching work in combination with smaller bonuses for independent, outside studies, though there are also some few graduates who delve instead into confidential research without funding or other interference from the institute. Located within Magai, in the Mirror Basin. ⦿ Artuz School of Morphology — once considered a school of heretical teachings, after a faction of former instructors from Arv-En left the institute to embrace and teach practices more akin to grounded, modern sciences, the Artuz School is now considered a sister school that provides an alternate path of education for those less gifted or otherwise entirely unable to perform arcane science, though the wider world outside of the institute still appears skeptical of the practices of biology, medicine, and other important areas of study without the application of arcane sciences or other foreign systems of magic.

𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 & 𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐒

⦿ Arcane power — the innate power found in all things, generated autonomously by living bodies and bound into the inanimate upon an object’s creation. Arcane power can be manipulated in a number of ways, and those that do so are practitioners of arcane science, though due to the potentially dangerous and volatile nature of manipulating the base makeup of a living being or inanimate object, the practice is bound by a number of rules and regulations that all practitioners must follow at penalty of confinement and, for the worst offenses, the binding of their own arcane power—a restriction that forbids a scientist from establishing contact with and manipulating the arcane powers of people or things outside of their own bodies. ⦿ Arcane science — overarching designation of any practice that utilizes western methods or systems of magic, particularly those that originated from or were adapted within the Great Continent. While there are a number of forms that exist without label, those that are common or dangerous enough to be labeled are often heavily regulated outside of times of war. Arcane science, notably, is not the only designation of magic practice, and even within the Continent there exist mages who utilize other systems that do not fall under this designation. Those who study or operate within the bounds of known arcane science are referred to specifically as scientists or arcane scholars, never as ‘mages’ or ‘wizards’ in polite society. The main vehicles of arcane science are as follows:

     — alchemy, the purification and transmutation of materials by altering the patterns formed by the material’s arcane energies;      — arcane runology, imbuing written words and symbols with arcane power for specific purposes, usually by means of an arcanely-charged medium (for instance, special ink created to store arcane power);      — arcane biology, the practice of modifying the living bodies of humans and animals by altering patterns within their natural arcane energies, permitted only for the sake of healing illness and injury;      — common enchantment, an unspecific umbrella term meant to catch any forms of scientific methods or practices that combine elements from any two or three of the above vehicles

While these designations serve nearly 87% of the population of known arcane scientists, there are some lesser-known or more specific practices and areas of arcane study considered esoteric or otherwise underutilized by the wider community of scientists, including:

     — divination, the observation and recording of celestial arcane energies, often used for predictions such as weather conditions and atmospheric changes, though also used colloquially (and somewhat controversially) as a supposed method for predictions of future events;      — attunement and artifice, in theory two separate arts that greatly overlap in practice. Attunement is similar to arcane runology in that arcane power is being channeled by written instructions to serve a particular purpose; however, arcane attunement utilizes the specific powers found within the base material itself, rather than requiring a vehicle such as enchanted ink to imbue power into the rune, and requires highly-specific knowledge of the base material and the patterns of its arcane power in order to be utilized successfully, hence its general disuse by the wider community of scientists. Artifice is an evolution of attunement, in which the base material is shaped or physically modified in order to better suit an intended purpose, i.e the creation of a pencil or pen that is then enchanted to write, rather than simply marking a chunk of lead or charcoal with a rune that is already enchanted.      — spiritual arcaea. a number of practices related to observing and interacting with a theoretical ‘spiritual world’, such as observing or communing with spirits of the deceased, or other entities that exist on a different or separate plane. Largely theoretical, with its only known proven science to be the now-forbidden art of necromancy. ⦿  Arcane Tenets — a list of commandments supposedly bestowed upon mankind by the Enlightened when arcane science was first discovered three thousand years ago. There are many, and they serve as the basis even of some common laws in cities and regions where arcane science is prominent, though the primary tenets speak to the uses of arcane science as a benevolent force meant for the protection of the planet and the overall betterment of mankind. Many schools of arcane sciences, including Arv-En, require their applicants to name some or even all of the tenets in order to be admitted for instruction—which, in its completeness, numbers just under a hundred specific rules and guidelines for practitioners of the sciences.

     “  i will carry you out myself.  ”

          "𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐘 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐒 as weapons in the past and will not hesitate to do so again.” Completely straight-faced, it’s... likely the truth, to some degree. “I have interacted with my fair share of corpses cursed or otherwise, and so you’ll have to do more than glower and glare at me. Besides, telling a scientist to not indulge in their own curiosity, you may as well tell a fish not to swim.”

I actually need to make a verse for Domnos but I’m too much of a coward.

I said that early hours would be my time for loveposting but no. Actually I think I DO want to talk in broad daylight about how ridiculously touchy Veric can be sometimes when he’s in love with a partner that doesn’t mind it
