Passengers: Waver &Volk
Location: SIRE
Date: Backdated to Feb. 17
Summary: Dare these two try to do something to entertain themselves?
Warnings: None yet



[Waver would have been checking on Volk daily, but giving him a few days in his private room to get some peace and quiet. Waver really needed a couple of days himself to do the same, but he can't his in his room and read forever. As much as he really wants to.

One thing he did, though, was look up Volk's name in the library to see if he could find anything he's worked on. Volk mentioned briefly that he worked as a creative in the entertainment industry, and lo and behold, there were scripts available with his name in the credits.

This gives Waver an idea. So today, the two will be visiting the SIRE to give it a shot. Time to see what this thing was capable of.

Walking into the SIRE room, Waver takes out his tablet and boots up the program before turning to his inmate with a smile.]

So. Where would you like to go today?

[SIRE does its best, but the transition isn't the smoothest. The two now sit inside a transparent box, out on the storming Indian Ocean. As it's pulling from memories, it's an easy thing to imagine just from any body of water, any life experience or even just a movie. The dark sky, distant lightning, waves crashing at the side of their protective case. It's not bad, but the room direct from Waver's memory was much more faithfully rendered and detailed than either this or the beach.

Waver seems impressed enough anyway, nodding again.]

Certainly is nice enough, a nice change of scenery if nothing else. [Space is a nice view, but the sterility of the Peregrine isn't.] What do you think?

[Volk is... slowly shaking his head.]

The corners of the room are repeating, look.

[He has to raise his voice to be heard over the lash of the simulated rain, points - there is some odd, not-quite-right physics happening where the patterns of pseudo-random waves overlap. It's very, very, very hard to see -

Unless your job is making sure things look exactly right from specific angles.]

What you call Magecraft - is it someone who practices a skill for their whole life and becomes so good at it that it transcends ordinary possibility?

[professor_charisma]

An expert eye would catch that sort of thing. [Waver nods with a smile, but it fades when asked that question.]

Someone can only be as good as their circuits will let them be. It doesn't matter how much you study and practice. That can't be changed.

[Solemn words from a man who knows all too well.]

feel free to fade out whenever you want to wrt the drop, im just gonna keep goin <3

[saklas]

Ours is... if you're one of the best in the world at something, you have to want to be even better.

[Volk gives a sour smile.]

Unless you're a Prince. Then you don't need to practice or work at all. Other people make your magic for you.

What about, uh, True Magic? Is that hereditary?
