[ if there's some people in the Training Center, there is a very high chance that running into ( 1 ) John Egbert will occur. however, this also means that there is also a chance of running into one of these giant lizards as well. yes, John has been told about the usage of his windy powers. but this is John. he's a derp and will end up using them anyway.

using them to ride one of those T-Rexaurs. or just fly around it to agitate it even more. the kid is the MASTER PRANKSTER. what better prank is there at the moment than being faster than the monster trying to chomp him into bits? besides! it's a freaking dinosaur! how impossibly cool is that!? ]

so this place has got to be one of the coolest places ever!!!!!!!!
bet you can't guess what i spent my day doing.
hehehe. :)
the hardest part, though, is trying to figure out what to name him.
er, well, i think he's a him, but i'm not sure that it's okay to just check a dinosaur out like that.
talk about rude!!
i happen to be a very culturally sensitive young man and lifting the skirts on poor dinosaurs just seems very wrong.
poor guy. i think i wore him out. :(

[Now he's trying not to look confused, which means he just looks more annoyed.]

You would be just as dead. Men and children alike meet pointless ends every day.

Funny you should say that. I've already died two times in one day and here I am. Guess you can't keep everyone down and out.

[ all mischievous smiles over here. ]

[He circles back a bit to keep his own distance from the T-rexaur.]

Should I stop being surprised that they're teaching dark magic to children here?

[His scowl deepens, somehow.]

It never ends.

Dark magic?

[ yeap. now mister elf has sure lost John on this one. ]

There's, uh, no magic involved here. I don't think there is, anyway.

[Pause. For a moment, he fails in keeping his scowling up and starts to look more confused than angry.]

What else would you call it?

Honestly?

[ yeah okay, he gives the dinosaur ( to him, anyway ) one last pat on the head and decides to float his way down.

then he'll startle it with a nice, hefty gust of wind, before turning to mister elf dude. ]

Video game mechanics. All the players have special cool powers.

[He keeps a wary eye on the creature, reaching for his sword with one hand, but not yet both, just in case it turns to attack them.]

A game, then? I fail to see how this makes it other than magic. I've seen such things before. They're played amongst the powerful and require the sacrifice of at least one victim.

[He doesn't...actually seem to be kidding. Which could be alarming to some, except that it's spoiled the next moment when he asks the inevitable question.]

But what is a video?

[ now it's John that's raising a brow and looking skeptical. ]

You don't know what a video is, dude? That's kind of sad, considering where we are and all. A video game isn't some thing you normally play in person and no one sacrifices anyone! It's just a game that you play on a screen. Usually, they have hand held devices that you control your person on the screen with!

Like one of the devices used for the network here?

[He looks dubious.]

I fail to see the appeal. It sounds pointlessly complex.

Kind of, yes!

[ smiles, giving a little laugh. ]

Some people like complex stuff. It's not for everyone, but as long as it's with my friends? I don't mind so much.

You say it isn't magic. How does the picture on the screen bring you back from death, if it is anything else?

[Still not convinced.]
