Do you really want to be one of those?

@Nimda

The X?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Laughs*
Well, at least we have something to compare it to now.

@Nimda

*laughs*
Yeah, I guess we do.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

He is.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

It’s not exclusive to us. Especially not it ages past.

@Audacious

Ah… So, if I beat him… would that call for being an X?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Both of them blow up in your face if you do it wrong.

@Nimda

Very true! Not that I have experience though… for the second one at least.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Word chemistry. Like a cheesy Valentine’s Day card.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

You said your people weren’t explorers or anything, so how did the hidden elements end up in so many places?

@Nimda

Yes, but it works. Unlike the card, which is sometimes.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

You’re doing that on purpose.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Huh?

@Audacious

I’m not? Is Rythian part of the X?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Sounds like chemistry.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

If your society was pretty isolated, how did it get everywhere?

@Nimda

Almost! I would akin it to chemistry. But with words instead.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

It’s a very tiny group of people who represent the best of the best in the IA, their penultimate protectors… That’s what they’re supposed to be, anyway. Not that they don’t do that job, but there’s just a lot more people out there now who are just as competent and doing the same thing.
…
And I’m not a member of the Big X, just to be clear. I don’t hold myself in that high of a regard. I just work for Rythian.

@Audacious

Who is an X?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Just don't say it's small and do something crazy.
*Chuckles*

@Audacious

Is it really crazy to want to join the Big X?
*ponders for a moment*
What’s a Big X?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Huh. You’d think they’d eventually run out of stuff to find.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

How does that work?

@Nimda

Writing the right runes can be time consuming as each “letter” could create something entirely different if strung together wrong.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

I don't get the impression that you have small ideas.

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Even if it’s not direct elemental knowledge, there’s all kinds of history around it. Once upon a time, it was a more common practice and many more cultures existed around it.

@Audacious

Probably not, but seeing how far I can go to be under them is interesting.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

You make engines?

@Nimda

I can make one type of engine. That is fueled by magic and runes.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

A small idea, huh?

@Audacious

*chuckles*
Yeah a small one.
