"Oh? - oh, I see."

"--Sorry, I'm confused, what's a wizard?"

"When she said alternate universe, she didn't mean, like, Alfheim, she means somewhere outside the known dimensional hypersphere. Wizards are a completely new thing." 

"Mostly wizards are less cool but we have much better mana storage."

"Also if you start out as a wizard you get to be both and this is not so far true of witches." 

"Huh! Well, it's not like we didn't know you had a cool patron."

"She's great! I'm calling myself an archmage now and hope this catches on."

"Good luck." 

"I'm Lucasta's doppelganger and terribly smug about it."

"Huh. Are you now. I haven't actually seen a picture of her mortal self, so I wouldn't know."

"I have been reliably informed that Lucasta also has a me but we haven't met him yet--I'm her twin brother."

"Nice! Twins high five!" 

Oh no he accidentally caused a greater degree of social interaction than he intended to. Oh well he can high five her. 

"Where is Emily, on the offchance somebody's met her counterpart but not yours?"

"Her Consortation professor's office hours, but she should be done shortly."

"What is consortation?"

"Demon summoning. Not, at low ranks, as bad an idea as it sounds."

"And I'm a lilin." 

"If we found out at any point what that means I have absolutely forgotten it." 

"Through no fault of my own, if I die I go to Hell. And can then be summoned back out good as new, via Consortation."

"...Yikes??? I'm going to go with yikes." 

"It's very yikes, one of those natural awakening perils."

"As someone who got much luckier out of a natural awakening, my condolences."

"It could be worse. I really like the wings. And I've only died once." 

"As someone who has also died exactly once, my condolences."
