[An anxious Cedric appears on screen. He looks from left to right, his mussed hair flying just about everywhere. He taps the screen to ensure that it's turned on---in his mind this somehow serves a purpose. When he's sure everything's working, he waves.]

Hello! This is Cedric again. I've talked about this with one or two of you before. I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself or it's something you've all heard before, but this is something I need to sate my curiosity about. It's just that this world is so different from what I'm used to and there are so many different types of people. If that's even the word you prefer. And sometimes we have conflicts with one another.

So I have to ask: what do you think of people who are capable of using magic? Witches, warlocks, sorcerers, casters, wizards, or whatever you choose to call them. Are they all right, do you think? Or not?

Sad as it is, I'd say "probably." We're all coming from different places, right? So I'm sure there are some in the bunch who'd be scared, or even not know at all, about things like that.

[theboywhodied]

I'm sure you're right. I know I'm too optimistic for my own good and people will always fight. I just hoped the weapons would make everyone a little more equal.

[crystalia]

That, and the fact that we're all supposed to be on the same side.

Or at least have some common goals.

[theboywhodied]

Supposedly!

I guess I'll soon see how well it actually works out.

[crystalia]

I imagine you have particular stake in the result?

[theboywhodied]

I don't want anyone I might care about to get hurt.

[crystalia]

I'd hope that the people who'd be more tolerant would outnumber the ones who were less, in that case.

[theboywhodied]

I hope so too. At least the response has been encouraging!

[crystalia]

Good. Then I have some hope for those we've ended up with.
