[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?

I'm sure we can get to know each other very well. Sturm likes meeting new people after all. Not me so much, but I obey the will of Sturm.

Is Sturm a friend of yours?

[for_guild_justice]

You could say that.

[theboywhodied]

I see. Well, I'm not opposed to his ideals either.

Who said Sturm was 'he'?

[theboywhodied]

I'm sorry! I guess I had my own prejudiced ideas about what the name read like.

[for_guild_justice]

Is that what this whole post is about? Searching for prejudice?

[theboywhodied]

Something like that. I'm just curious about the state of things.

[for_guild_justice]

And what have you gleaned?

Of course it'll exist from place to place, but it's not universal. Maybe even minimal---at least where magic's concerned.

[for_guild_justice]

Every place is different. Stands to reason.

[theboywhodied]

As I'm learning. But it seems to be all right here.

It's just another war. People fight. People die. It's the way of every world. If you're skilled and lucky, you'll live. Same goes for the rest of us.

I've got my fingers crossed and my training ready to go.

[Text]

[for_guild_justice]

Perhaps we shall see how you handle yourself at training then. Keep your fingers crossed though.

[Text]

[theboywhodied]

I will. I'll see you.

You can only hope.
