Just wondering, but did Kit shape-shift just to hide her inhuman features, or does she actually bear familial resemblance to the Sandman's human form?
If not, Gavin's going to find that a bit odd. Not that he'll act on it though.

Hey now, he's becoming self-aware. Don't take that from him.

If the man's is asking for a ban, might as well give it to him. Good riddance.

Then you'd just be crying about why it's permanent instead.

Oh no, oh no. Someone warn his "roommate" Smarty's about to lose it.

Turning to the newest member of their table, Clark gave Aislinn much the same greeting as the others; namely a small wave and nod. “I’m sure they wouldn’t mind,” he said, nodding at the two distracted females before glancing behind the brunette at Juno’s antics across the cafeteria. Though he gave the girl a raised eyebrow, his reaction wasn’t much more than that and shrugged in response to her question.[/i] “S’alright, and the lineup wasn’t too long. Not like there’s a real difference in quality.” He wasn’t really bashing on the cafeteria, given that it was free food, but to make feeding several hundred kids affordable the ball had to get dropped somewhere.
He gave Katsuo a friendly wave as per usual when the younger boy sat down, and a small, “Hey.” Eyes focusing back on the commotion a bit farther off, he watched with an amused expression as the two’s Sentients tumbled around on the cafeteria floor with one another. Idly, he asked, “Any plans for a concert any time soon?” While Clark didn’t feel particularly strongly about the events, aside from supporting his “friend” in his endeavors, his Divine Spirit did rather enjoy the events. Cheer and happiness, regardless of what its cause was, always seemed to sit well with it.
Like with Aalis, he really only knew Helena by association with a few others, but the greeting she received was nevertheless practically the same. The use of her Xenos had never really sat well with him for some reason, his vision going all blurry if he watched her body shimmer, shake, and separate. Rubbing his eyes to clear them, he managed to blink the spots out just in time for Catherine’s arrival.
“Well, I did hear a rumor about some a duel between Xerxes and Vlad, with the Knights interfering apparently. Don’t really know too much though.” Having given his piece, he looked around for the last member of their group fruitlessly before propping an arm onto the table and resting his chin onto it to wait. He wasn’t exactly ignoring Catherine, as his head tilted left to right with each bob she made, as if he was confused by what she meant. That came to an end soon enough though as something caused the entire cafeteria to quiet down. Looking up at the unnatural silence, it wasn’t too hard to find the source given they were literally in one another’s face and yelling for the student body to hear.
Of course, before things could actually escalate to physical violence the cafeteria doors were thrown open and a pair stepped through. At their appearance, Clark looked away with a sigh. There wasn’t really a need to keep watching when the conclusion was basically written in stone now. Letting the scowl drop, he clasped his hands together for a moment before he dug into the free food. He needed to enjoy something after that little display.

IncredibleBee said It's not unwanted if a potential player, y'know, wants it.
But it is if the GM declares it to be. And they have. Might as well just drop it and find a different RP, or CONFORM AND BE ASSIMILATED.
Raineh Daze said Because it's unwanted.
Basically this.
IncredibleBee said You mean magitech? Because that's actually just magitech.
Yeah. Magitech. Tech that works by integrating magic into its design.
IncredibleBee said No, magic tends to be super metaphysical, and is generally something along the lines of "using the power of your soul to project your will onto the fabric of reality".When you use artifacts to power machinery, that's magitech, which is a whole other kettle of fish.
Not really, given magic is so broad and diverse nowadays. And even then, "using your soul to project your will onto the fabric of reality" doesn't clash with magic powered "tech" in any fashion.
IncredibleBee said Yeah, but then you're using magic, and not science.
And they still do the same thing, that's been my whole point. You can get the same result through different means.
IncredibleBee said Not that part specifically (though it does prove my point that magic isn't the same as science). But a lot of the Imperium's and especially the IG's equipment is laser guns, space ships, and genetic enhancements.You can actually get relatively detailed specifications for how a Bolter works; it's got a similar principal to Gyrojet.
And there's literally no reason a Bolter couldn't work through magical means.
IncredibleBee said Actually that's a misinterpretation of the quote "Sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic." It does not mean that magic is science. Magic has to do with the arcane and regularly breaks the established laws of nature, usually the law of conservation of mass/energy. Science is fact. Hard sci-fi is based in fact, and generally entails technology we expect to be available in the next one or two centuries (see Cowboy Bebop). Soft sci-fi is further on, but still has some sort of scientific explanation (see WH40k.)
No, not really. You can achieve the same ends with magic that you could with science for the most part. The way it gets done is just different.
Science achieving what magic can on the other hand is more wonky, and can stray into the applied phlebotinum area really quickly though.
Advanced magic and advanced science are basically indistinguishable from one another. It's just the explanation that makes them different.
How does that power suit work? Science answer: "Oh it has a fusion reactor." Magic Answer: "Oh it has a powerful magical core."
How does that gattling gun work? "Gunpowder." "Kinetic energy spell."
How does that plasma rifle work. "Oh it has a plasma cell that holds inert ammunition before its primed and fired." "Oh it's enchanted with a high-class flame spell that requires an external source of mana to activate. Which is supplied by its "battery" packs."
How is Kuro so strong? "Nanomachines. And copious genetic/bio-engineering." "He's an oni."
Seriously.

Glad he didn’t have to keep shielding his eyes, Gavin murmured, “Thank you,” before sizing up the other teenager. Brown hair, fairly thin, unremarkable for the most part really. He didn’t really want to move closer given how the other teenager had reacted, but the awkward silence that was starting to drag out between the two of them wasn’t really productive either.
“There I did it. But can you prove it? Prove to me that you're human!”
Raising an eyebrow, Gavin’s looked at the boy quizzically at the shaky statement. “Oka~y then.” Murmuring that mostly to himself, he reevaluated his opinion on the teen. ‘Definitely panicky.’ Now granted the situation was highly strange and inexplicable, but he didn’t really think jumping straight to aliens or demons was necessarily the right direction to go.
Rubbing the back of his head with the hand that held the wrench, Gavin tapped his feet while in thought for a moment before simply just asking,“Um… ok then? And I should go about that how?”
