I guess this is more for those of us who come from worlds where there's some catastrophe or some world-ending thing happening and you're generally working to try and save your world from aforementioned catastrophe ...

I've been here for a few months now, and I kind of feel like I don't know what to do with myself. I went from having too much to do, too much to worry about, and now I'm in a position where I don't have that anymore (with the exception of the occasional weirdness that happens here, of course). I think I've read enough books that I've probably caused myself some major eye strain in the months I've been here, but otherwise I'm not exactly sure what to do with myself.

Does anyone else feel kind of like this? I think it might help me feel better to know I'm not alone in this.

... It sounds like there's more than one source of tension on that front, to me. You alone might not be able to keep him on track... But if you can better focus yourself, that might go a ways.

I mean ... Most of the time when we bicker, it's just kind of par the course for us. And a lot of the time it's me starting it, because I don't know how to handle myself around stupid.

He's somehow still my best friend, though, and somehow is able to see the me that is beneath all of it. I don't know how he puts up with me. If I were him, I would've given up years ago.

Then... To be able to be honest about your feelings and have it go well, you need to smooth out your handling around what I will completely agree to be stupid.

Would seeing it from a different angle maybe help?

How do you plan on getting me to see it from a different angle?

I'm not asking because I don't think it's possible to do so, I'm just curious about your plan.

... Honestly I hadn't thought about it, though uh I could pull something like that with my magics if you were willing I guess. Put you into an alternate mode of thinking for a time, full memory when you return to your normal self.

I've done something similar, it's kinda enlightening sorta?

[ From the perspective of someone curious about other magics, this sounds like an interesting way of doing things.

From the perspective of someone who isn't sure how she would react to something like that, she's very unsure. ]

I won't lie, I'm definitely curious ...

Well, it's... Basically me using magic to induce a hypnotic state. I could probably force it with a lot of effort, but it's mostly for those willing to play with it. Due to the magic, it's a bit more powerful than Cordis hypnosis, but has similar limitations.

Most important of which is I can't do anything to you that you don't agree to or want under normal circumstances. I also have a personal rule of throwing in conditions that you can use to get back to normal fast in a pinch.

Now, that limitation aside, I can basically do anything you think up or get into. If the boyo agrees, I could do a matched-pair scenario, though explaining the whole thing to him could take Some Doing.

[The capitalization is for emphasis.]

I think it might be better if we handle this on our own ... However long that takes. The idea is interesting, but I think it's a bit much for me. I know it'd be a bit much for him.

For some, it's a lot. Some people view it as a good way to explore, is all.

But if it's not what you want, I'm not doing it, period. I've got my lines.

I'll also leave singing nonmagical songs about getting a room off the table.

Please do leave that off the table, I can only handle so much embarrassment at one time before I start hurling fireballs.

Clearly I shall have to be more creative in inspiring you to burnination-esque violence. Or not.

You know, it's really no fun when someone wants to be fireballed.

Let me be clear I'm joking. I'm actually immune to fire but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

I guess it's all the better that it's no fun for me, then. I don't really enjoy hurling fire at people. Sometimes I wonder if certain people do, though.

I mean, there are certainly pyromaniacs who absolutely should not be trusted with access to fire magic. Had to fight a couple a time or two.

I can still hear the maniacal laughter and the lines like 'burn burn everything buuuuuurn' like they were getting pleasure from it.

Even in full evil mode that seemed fucked as the Nine Hells to me!

And I thought I was a pyromaniac ... I've at least got some measure of control.

Setting things on fire when angry, while a 'loud' response, is in what I would classify as 'normal range' especially if it's your primary tool of violent response.

THAT IS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

Yeah, I'd say. Kinda glad I haven't met anyone that crazy about fire just yet ...
