my demiurge?
phrasing it like that makes it sound as if we're partners! how scandalous!

[restitui]

no
No
I mean no that's not how I meant it

but the name stuck out to me because there's a producer that calls themselves demiurge
and they were half responsible for a reallg terri le game of guess who

so notable name? not a lot of good feels



What is a demiurge to you

[meforsaken]

it's a title. a genre of god, if you will
there are demiurges across the multiverse. there was a primordial demiurge once, and now there is a demiurge that is yet to be.

none of which are my partner btw!

[restitui]

🙄 you're not going to let that go, are you?




and you think that's what he'll become
the other billy
and maybe me?

[meforsaken]

at the very least, your powers are connected to the demiurge in some shape or form.

the elder gods were born from the primordial demiurge. amongst them was chthon, the creator of the darkhold.
even if you've merely inherited your mother's connection to chaos magic, you ought to know where that magic comes from.

[restitui]

[ at least those are words he knows even if it's unsettling, ]

what is chaos magic, exactly?

[meforsaken]

what is chaos, exactly?

[restitui]

the upheaval and disorder of all things?
something that doesn't follow rules, or at least preset rules doesn't apply to?

[meforsaken]

there's your answer then.
i've always thought of it as possibility, personally.

[restitui]

possibility?

[meforsaken]

possibility!

[restitui]

that does not explain as much as you think

[meforsaken]

perhaps that's why i don't use chaos magic!

my magic functions similarly, but not quite.
the me you met had not figured out the basis of our magic and thus, he was limited in what he was capable of in ways that i am not.
just as you are limited currently.

[restitui]

tbf to any version of me,
i only just came into my power

can you actually teach me, though?
if our magick is different, i mean.

[meforsaken]

i tutored the you of my universe
and i’ve wielded his magic as well

but i will be honest.
i have no interest in teaching you magic 101 nor do i believe you would benefit from that
think of my offerings as more deep theory work

[restitui]

that doesn't sound ominous at all
it's not like i need magic 101
but it's fine if you don't want to
you'd just offered?

[meforsaken]

oh i'm still offering! i merely wanted to be clear about what exactly i'm offering

and be certain that you're prepared for such tutelage

[restitui]

i'm okay with that

especially if assuming things return somehow to what they were
and i do return to estoria
i'm the only one i know of us around from any version of our universe
so maybe it's not magic 101 but anything is good?

[meforsaken]

then i believe it's your turn to choose the venue and snacks for our next date

[restitui]

your enjoyment for pastries hasn't changed has it?

or how do you feel about little sandwiches?

[meforsaken]

i enjoy both!

i told a story recently of my younger self(think pre-vikings) and gave him the character trait of being a tiny bit of a glutton. cute, right?

[restitui]

it's v cute
and for genuinely no nefarious reason
what did you make his favorite food?

also is this a now thing or a later thing?

[meforsaken]

nothing in particular. he wasn't the picky sort, couldn't be when the myth involves an eating contest.
please don't feel the need to make a traditional feast, midgardian cuisine has evolved in the last few centuries and i'm personally thankful for it.

a whenever you want it to be thing

[restitui]

good news: i wouldn't know exactly what a traditional feast would look like
estoria's traditions didn't follow earth ones and i've only got the modern history pack downloaded.


[ get it because regaining memories. he also has cultural/religious jewish knowledge, but that's neither here nor there. ]

how about in a couple of hours i'll text you a geoguesser?

[meforsaken]

i realize you wish to return to your realm for a variety of reasons but it does sound like a dreadful place when one considers that i don't exist there u_u (being an earth tradition and all)

👍
do try and make it challenging!
