Huh.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Different countries, different customs. *we slowly come to a stop* Ah, here we are! The Capitol Building! *we float in front of a large, stepped pyramid with various protrusions placed in patterns; at the top is the front of a wide building with an arch in the middle that extends backwards and upwards so that the building itself is shaped like a scythe blade* This is where I live, and where many governmental functions are carried out. It is also where I create new Sun Scribes and train the strongest of them.
That's a strange shape.

No? It literally costs nothing because it's a magical device that anyone can produce. We are proudly capitalist.
That's cool I guess.
<Snipped quote by Efficacy>
Obviously. But fancier! And also costs nothing.
Is this communism?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
All things will be fully explained when they become relevant! Now, however, I must study a map, because someone has shuffled the city again. *spreads my hands out and a translucent orange screen appears between them; I navigate to a map of the city* Now where is that capitol... Ah! There. *brings my hands to two corners of the screen and shrinks it into non-existence*

-Perseo- Not as well. You are literally inside of these simulations. When we begin training, I will tell you more about these wondrous devices, but for now, we have places to see! *we zoom forward once again*
I don't get it.

These produce situations with which a Sun Scribe can interact as if they were reality.
Does virtual reality not do that?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
This is in tune with reality itself. As with everything in the Sevenfold Covenant, it is its own reflection of reality that flows naturally.
Why can't you just use one of those new Oculus Rifts or something?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
<Snipped quote by Efficacy>
In that case-- *our carpet comes to a stop* The What-If Rift is a device developed by some members of Tier Five which, given some input information, produced a simulation of a reality under those parameters. We produced the foundation for that technology long ago. However, we did not go as far as Tier Five did in making it entirely compatible and indefinite in scope. We used it to create extremely realistic training simulations and devoted our attention to making them enterable.
What's the difference between this and virtual reality?
