[viktor's first thought is 'magic,' for obvious reasons, though when pal starts going off on Nerd viktor glances over. not surprised exactly, this stick man was clearly not getting by on his big oyster bucket lifting muscles, but the casual mentions of magic and the sheer nerd levels?

promising. interesting, even.] If there is a system beyond the use of magic it must be at a technology level far beyond anything I've seen.

[he glances around to survey said area once again- yup, just looked like a baffling magic world from a story book. with mermaids. jayce would be thrilled if he was here and, also, not probably dead.]

There's the matter of pressure as well, the fact we did not, eh, 'pop' upon teleportation here is an impressive feat. I've worked on transportation that uses teleportation magic before and the logistics of sudden altitude drops? Gruesome. Ruined a great many test fruits those days.
