[ hello, zel! today lu bixing is... vibing in the computer lab. by which i mean, he's sitting cross legged on the floor and examining one of the computers with a critical eye.
noting someone else though, he leans back from where he's sitting and offers a cheerful smile. ]
Good morning. Finding the new locations alright?

[Zelgadis is shrouded head-to-toe in white. He stops in the doorway when he sees there's someone in here, but at that greeting, decides he might as well come in.]
Yeah.
[His one visible eye gazes down at the computer.]
Ever seen devices like this before?
Yeah.
[His one visible eye gazes down at the computer.]

[ what a fashion icon
lu bixing makes a thoughtful noise, tilting his head to the side. ] Well, honestly? No, these are... archaic. Ancient Earth technology that they're saying is "state of the art".
[ ????????
fucking future nerd. he sighs, prodding at the computer's base. ] But, c'est la vie. We work with what we have. What about you?

[He shakes his head.]
They look fairly advanced compared to anything I've seen before. Where I'm from, it's rare to see machines of any kind, much less ones so small and complex.

[ lu bixing leans on the cpu of the ~ state of the art computer ~ and laughs a little bit, patting it affectionately on the side like you would treat a dog. ]
This is actually pretty big, for one of ours! I have twenty times the processing power at least in my personal device - and that's usually worn on my wrist.
Then again, it sounds like my world is a lot further in the future than everyone else's. And we definitely don't have magic, either!

[Zelgadis looks down at his hand, probably imagining a tiny computer that sits on a wrist. Then he looks back at Lu Bixing.]
No magic...? In the entire world?
No magic...? In the entire world?
I see...
[A thoughtful pause. His shroud makes it hard to make out his precise reaction.]
... Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Even in my world, magic is rare outside of the barrier. Though it is a fundamental part of the world nonetheless.

[A nod.]
The God-Sealing Barrier that surrounded the bulk of the continent I lived on. For a thousand years, no one could get in or out. In that time, the development of magic flourished within the barrier and languished in the lands beyond it.

The latter, I suppose.
When a part of the Dark Lord was revived, demons waged war against the world, but knew they would face opposition from the gods while their lord was not yet whole again. So the Dark Lord's minions put up a barrier around the lands that would be their battleground, keeping out any gods that would come as reinforcements.

[Zelgadis somewhere outside on College Island, sitting on the ground with a shitty beer in hand and staring off distantly at the sea of lava before him. Seeing Lu Bixing nearby, he glances up, then gives a simple nod of acknowledgement. Enough to signal that he doesn't mind if he sticks around. This is a pretty good spot for sitting around angstily; he recommends it.]
[ god, yeah. sitting around angstily is a mood.
after a long moment, he'll come to drop down next to him. lu bixing's got...a weed.... in his hand... wow.... but otherwise seems to just be okay. he just looks very tired. ]
Hi, Zelgadis. What a mess, huh...?

... Yeah.
Another narrow success, though it... doesn't really feel like one.
[glancing over. weed?]

[glancing over. weed?]
[ definitely a weed it's fine don't worry about it. it's lit, smoking lightly, but he's not using it at the moment. ]
...I have a feeling that - if this continues, none of these will ever really feel like a success. If the last two were any indication.

... Probably not.
[He takes a long drink from his shitty beer.]
I suppose I'm the idiot here if I let something like this catch me off guard.

No. Didn't think she'd want all of us piling in there.
Did you?
Did you?
[A nod.]
I'll leave it at that, then. I have no need to pry into the personal affairs of a girl about to face death.

[ happy tuesday! today on the music store, zelgadis might hear the sound of
whatever this is and more specifically, this exact thing happening. that is to say, a grown ass man sliding across the floor in his socks.
ba-nananananana.....
he's dressed, at least? and when he turns around and spots zelgadis, he jumps like half a foot and drops whatever he was using to be a microphone, then squeaks - ] Zelgadis! [ and then clears his throat. ] Um, hi.

I can come back later.
