Jo had eventually given up on waiting for people to need her, and payed her attention back to the book. It lay blank for a while, causing her to wonder about what was going on in it- how old the computer inside it was, and again, if she was talking to a robot or not. She caught the words as they started to fade in, and waited for everything to come in before beginning to reply.

"[i]Stone slabs? You mean... Archaic tablets?[/i]" She looked at the book, confused. "[i]No, I mean like, touch-screen, holographic tablets. Without pages. Not made of stone, but of metal and silicone. Glow-y, too.[/i]" She made a face as she explained it, shaking her head softly. "[i]...No, magic really isn't real. Fire doesn't spout from peoples hands, people aren't instantly healed by saying a fancy spell. People can't conjure electricity either- I would know. Then I wouldn't have to put my tablets in the sun to charge them, or need solar panels to run my speakers. And, Magus can mean other things than a magician. I'm not a child, so don't try to fool me.[/i]" She drew a little face in the margins, puffing out a cheek with grumpy brows. 

"[i]You don't know what a robot is? Or a computer? Everyone has one in their homes! They're a necessity to function in society- at least, a computer is.[/i]" She paused, considering the idea that people from lower platforms might not have such things. "[i]A robot does everything you tell it to do, and a computer allows you to browse the internet for information, do complex calculations, and play games.[/i]" She hoped she explained it clearly, and simply enough.

[i]"Einhal? What platform is that? No, I live in the upper third levels of the BlueBell Platform System- But, er, I primarily live in the levels far above the clouds, as the air below makes me sick. We have a mayor for each level, and a president who manages every level on every platform in a lesser way. As far as I know, there are no Emperors, kings, or ungoverned platforms. Only presidents- Leaders elected by the people, and dictators- leaders who has absolute power, and usually secure it through force. Your king sounds like he has a few red flags for a dictatorship. Not in a bad way, of course.[/i]" Jo sighed, feeling a bit weird about explaining everything. "[i]Sorry if I over explain, or come off rude. I don't know if you're a child or not, and I don't intend to be rude. To me, you're just strange writing appearing in a weird book.[/i]" 

"[i]Oh, that's interesting,[/i]" She moved down a line, grimacing at the block of text she had written."[i]Test? Not as far as I know of. But, mages and magic don't...[/i]" She trailed off, pausing as she thought of something. "[i]Oh my god, are you role-playing? That totally explains everything- Like how old and leathery the book looks, how formal you are, and why you haven't heard of computers! I'm being a total square, aren't I? Sorry. I can be very dense. Was this book meant for someone else? It came into my store and I bought it before it hit the shelf. Just give me their name, And I'll locate them and give it to them.[/i]" She softly face-palmed, watching the book intently, waiting to see the name of its rightful owner.
