Alright. For future reference, talking animals should be a topic addressed when dealing with new-comers. Less important one, yeah, but still worth an honorable mention, I think.

[ A shift here to a musing tone, but anyone who understands the concept of sarcasm is in for a treat. ]

Kidnapped by unseen, malevolent forces, trapped to live in a village in the middle of nowhere with no means of escape, vulnerable to torture, don't fuss with the wings, everything's free... Talking animals.

I just had a squirrel panhandle me for crisps.

Are there any other things I should be prepared to converse with? Are the appliances keeping tabs on what we're getting up to?

They can all talk? [ Skeptical - she can't be serious. ]

A bit. Not much, honestly. Do you, ah, know something of it? [ He doesn't seem to completely believe in this one either, but he's just been heckled by wildlife, so he's a little more open to the concept. ]

[Voice] ...My god, I failed all over the place with my tag.

...Sorry about that, misheard. No, the appliances don't talk, thankfully, though I believe there's a robot or two around here.

There are spirits around here, Filial spirits they're called. Six in all, if you make the effort to contact them and learn from them, you can pick up some of their powers.

Yes, I realize it all sounds crazy, but it's one of the many odd truths around here. Worlds without some sort of magic tend to be uncommon around here.

[Voice] Nooo you're wonderful!

Robots. Alright. [ What the hell is he supposed to say otherwise? John really wasn't one for dramatics, though it was rather a lot to take in. ]

Well, as far as I know, magic was the sort of thing that only existed in popular novels.

Do you have any of it yourself?

Magic? Only what I've picked up here. I come from one of those rare worlds that has no magic of any sort outside of novels and movies. I was surprised I learned any magic in the first place, but I suppose the spirits are willing to take on any eager student.
