[Dist had spent most of the day in bed. After the party the day before, by the time he'd gotten home he was exhausted and when he woke up he was wretchedly hungover, so he'd called in sick to the library and went back to sleep with a pillow over his head. Eventually the sickness and headache had subsided enough for him to go get something to eat... and notice that he had another couple of gifts. The first one made him choke a little; it was a simple photograph, of him and Jade as children with the Professor. He'd set it up in his room, making a note to find a fitting frame before going outside.
...
AAAAAAAAAAAH CHAIR. Oh, he'd missed it so, and what with his acquired weakness he'd needed it more than ever.
So, Mayfield, you'll have a crazy man in a flying salmon-covered chair pretty much everywhere today, mostly outside because the thing is huge and typically won't fit inside the front door without some rotating. He's looking far more excited than he really should be, really, but hey! Flying chair! And truly flying, it seems, not just hovering; sometimes he's high up, sometimes he's close to the ground; it all depends. On what, probably that's only obvious to Dist.]

Date: 2011-01-11 11:27 pm (UTC)Interesting. Is it enchanted?
[He feels stupid asking, but he has to remind himself that fontech is unique to Auldrant, while magic seems almost universal among Mayfield's residents.]

Date: 2011-01-12 01:44 am (UTC)[Mr. Saturn technology is a mystery. The table stops when Dist does and Lucas begins to feel a little awkward.]
Is yours?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-12 01:53 am (UTC)[He reaches out to touch it, curious.]
no subject
Date: 2011-01-12 02:40 am (UTC)It might have something to do with PSI, but I don't think so. The people who gave it to me . . . They're very unique.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-14 01:52 am (UTC)[He isn't sure what he expects touching it to do, but he's a little disappointed when nothing happens.]
A lot of people from my world are in your position. Anything they're not handed from the Dawn Age is incomprehensible to them for some reason.
[This isn't said as an insult, but since it's Dist, it probably comes out like one.]
no subject
Date: 2011-01-14 04:45 am (UTC)Maybe someone ought to teach them. The only problem with the Mr. Saturns is that they can't speak and explain things in English very well. Their tea helps a little . . .
no subject
Date: 2011-01-14 04:57 am (UTC)...I never understood why they didn't get it. I was building beautiful things when I was a child.
[It's a forlorn statement more than anything else. Jade is the only person he's met that can talk to him on the same intellectual level, and that's a lonely place to be.]

Date: 2011-01-11 07:04 pm (UTC)Holy crap, dude! What is that?!
no subject
Date: 2011-01-11 11:28 pm (UTC)It's a chair. Can't you tell?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-12 12:06 am (UTC)No, really? But it ain't every day I see someone flyin' about like the Wicked Witch of the West on one. Where in the world did ya get it? Or did ya make it?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-12 01:05 am (UTC)I made it, thank you very much! And there's nothing funny about it!
no subject
Date: 2011-01-12 01:53 am (UTC)No, just... look, don't take it personal, okay? It just caught me off-guard. It was really the last thing I was expectin' to see today.
So ya made it? That's damned impressive, really. Magic, I take it?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-14 01:48 am (UTC)[He straightens out his collar indignantly.]
Of course I made it. I guess you could say it's magic; we call it fontech. It's machinery powered by artes.
no subject
Date: 2011-01-14 02:15 pm (UTC)So is there a power source? Like a battery or somethin'?
[Quinn's technomancy allows him to talk to technology, but only if there's a power source.]

Date: 2011-01-11 11:39 pm (UTC)[He tilts the chair forwards a bit and taps the front of the arm rest; there's really nothing visible there, but given that his hand is pretty much constantly touching that spot it's believable.]
It's a jewel of fontech, I'll tell you. Like all of my inventions, there's nothing like it back home! It's even built without a hover drive, can you believe it? It's one of my older inventions, but it still functions as though it were new, of course...
[You got him gloating. You have no one to blame but yourself.]
no subject
Date: 2011-01-11 11:42 pm (UTC)[Squid Girl smiles, rubbing her chin for a moment as she closes her eyes in contemplation. When she opens them again, she grins confidently, pointing up at Dist.]
"Give it to me!"
no subject
Date: 2011-01-11 11:48 pm (UTC)[Dist blinks, cutting off his explanation mid-sentence.]
Give it...? No! Why in the world would I do that?
no subject
Date: 2011-01-12 01:32 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-01-12 01:51 am (UTC)Well, you'll just have to get your own! This one is mine!
