[ Eddie’s confusion is clear, and he inclines his head at the words “streams” and “episodes”. He doesn’t ask, though. He simply carries on. ]
Uh, yeah, anyway, yeah. You make a character, go on quests. Sometimes there’s dungeons, sometimes there’s dragons, sometimes there’s just gelatinous cubes.
[ He smiles, and gives a soft chuckle when he opens his eyes. That’s it, exactly as he imagined it, and of course he can’t resist; he has to reach out and poke it just to laugh at the way it wobbles. ]
Awesome.
[ He’s genuinely awed, but there’s still a hint of doubt in his features. ]
And you think if I practice in the Horizon, it will come together here? I’m not trying to prove you wrong, just…a lot of people are born with the ability to do that shit, you know?
[it's normal to have doubts, and eddie's sense of curiosity is already there. she feels it, sometimes, this ongoing pulse of imagination just wanting to find a place to go. an artist and an aficionado for a board game she understands requires some sense of it and adventure.
yeah, she really does think it will help.]
I know.
[wanda was born with the ability to 'do that shit'.]
But remember that here in Abraxas, everyone can learn magic. Even those who never had that ability before. [she has seen it happen.] The Horizon just makes it easier to practice. Sometimes it's not even what you'd expect. A friend of mine has an invisible third hand.

Magic is not just about incantations and spells.
