What exactly does an arcanist do that makes people treat them that way?
[ The puppy says as a dog arcanist, it is fond of both. Coexistence between mankind and arcanists was the norm before, but it doesn't remember how it came to be. ]
Can't entirely say that's exactly the norm for me. People talk about the occult all the time, but seeing any real proof of it is rare -- a drop in the bucket for every rumour and hack that claims they can do it.
Unless you're in the Vatican City, but that place basically built itself on all that.

[ Looks down at Pickles. Oh my God. ]
Were you perhaps... interested?
no subject
Woof! Woof!!
[ The puppy says that she does not have an owner.
Pickles smacks the translator again after waiting a little. AAAAAAA ]
no subject
[ WHY IS IT GOING ROGUE AGAINST YOU, BUD. ]
Are you concerned about the fact that she appears to be a free-ranging dog?
[ ??? ]
no subject
Woof...
[ The puppy says Doggie is a very good translator.
...
The sigh of defeat. ]
no subject
[ Is this a regular thing that happens to you bud? This sounds like it's going to be a problem. ]
no subject
"It is sometimes like this."
So yeah, it sometimes does this, but Pickles seems very frustrated about this particular instance. ]
no subject
This dog could've written this entire time. Anyway he mentally revisits Pickles's struggle to convey a message. ]
Is it about the fact that there doesn't seem to be anybody else on this island?
no subject
Awoo...
[ The puppy says Dani eats meat.
...
Pickles gives up. ]
no subject
[ Just going to ignore the translator for Pickles's sake. ]
This island looks like it's overall pretty focused on self-efficiency. I don't think anyone is even looking after the actual animals there.
Not that I think human intervention is necessary for nature to thrive, but...
[ Huh. ]
Did she seem to have a personality?
no subject
Woo...
[ The puppy says that she is very friendly and energetic.
Pickles doesn't smack the translator this time, so maybe it's right. ]
no subject
[ They ARE still in cultland. ]
...I realise we're lacking pretty bad in any sort of outside contact still.
no subject
[ The puppy says she reminds it of Wendy, but Wendy is much better.
... ]
no subject
[ I only played R1999 for like a month so idr a Wendy but I just hope it's actually just the Wendy's girl. ]
no subject
[ The puppy says that Wendy is a fellow dog that it lives with—friendly, energetic, pland passionate.
Flashback to w0 mingle about Wendy confessing to Pickles 30 times and counting. ]
no subject
That's nice. I'm glad you have others you like around.
Also an arcanist?
no subject
[ The puppy says it doesn't know any other dog arcanists. ]
no subject
[ It's a lonely world out there... ]
no subject
[ The puppy says it doesn't have strong feelings on there being another dog arcanist. ]
no subject
Still don't know much, or understand what it's like being an arcanist, but it's something you're just born into, right?
Sometimes it's nice to have someone who kinda gets it.
no subject
[ Pickles sighs.
The puppy thinks it would be nice, but it's hard to have hopes when being born as an arcanist would normally mean you are shunned from society. ]

What exactly does an arcanist do that makes people treat them that way?
no subject
Woof. Woo...
[ The puppy says arcanists wield arcanum and are typically aligned with the imaginary fantasy, while mankind aligns itself with science.
He snorts. He thinks it's dumb... ]
no subject
Well... I can see that logic in things...
[ It's kind of like occult versus medicine with Daan. So, he gets the picture. ]
Not really a fan of getting roped into magic stuff, but I wouldn't say I'd treat someone lesser for it.
