The occult's been around since the dawn of time, as far as I know. I'll never know whether its existence is the reason for everything, but everyone else's worlds seem just as colourful.
The last two decades have been marked by war, so there's that.
[ Watching him just kick around in the water. Dude, you are so tall. ]
I'm not nearly enough of a big shot to be able to pull the reins on that sort of thing.
You'll have to ask the Kaiser... he wanted something in the territory of Bohemia is my best guess. He stopped the war once he reached a certain point, including the capital, Prehevil.
These kind of sound familiar, but there's no way we're from the same place or time. [ It is what it is. ] That's annoying to get caught in between or in the thick of it.
[ Is Daan done cleaning his things... If he collecting more leechless water? ]
So I hear. Ms. Preaker's told me a bit about a place called Europe, which is obviously pretty close to Europa, but it doesn't seem like our geographical knowledge has much overlap.
[ Sure he's mostly done. Carefully picks out one stray leech that's made his way into his bucket. ]
Would have preferred to avoid it, but I don't call those shots.
The invaders, of course. In this case, I suppose that's the Kaiser of the Bremen Empire.
Maybe that'll get the crows liking us better.
Not that a difference of one leech will make a dent in the population, but if the crows are going to be our messengers, may as well get them to like us.
And you couldn't just flee, I'm guessing. War swallowing up all the lands around.
[ ROUGH... LEECH FEEDING THOUGH. ]
If there are fish in the stream, they're supposed to eat the leeches, right? Are there... Leech traps? [ ......... ] We can really fatten up the crows if we get a bunch.

[ He can't even be surprised anymore. Is anyone here from an okay world? It's probably just Todomatsu. Save us Todomatsu... ]
Trying is enough, in some cases. Sometimes it's all you need.

War over what?

No ambition to be? You never know what you can achieve without trying.
[ Rise, rise, ascend, but it does not matter. Strokes his chin, then rudely points at Daan. ]
Invader, invaded, neutral?
no subject
Neutral. I'm neither of the Bremen Empire nor Bohemia.

The crows eat them if you don't want to toss them somewhere.

Smart little things, crows.

You'd have to fashion a leech trap on your own.
Or just grab them like some people have apparently been doing.
no subject
[ so no reusable leech trap for them. ]
You could die any time in a war, can't you?
no subject
[ You really all just decided they're goats. ]
You could. But at least that much would end after a war. Deserters, you'll be pursued even after it all ends.
Knew a kid like that... terrified for his life.
no subject
[ i think i spread the term... ]
I'm guessing the tale here is that he's dead.
no subject
[ He doesn't answer that. ]
Why goats? Because of the horns?
no subject
[ Simple. ]
no subject
Sometimes it's the little things you can have fun with that'll make all the difference anyway.

[ He's having to remind himself this dude is 18. He's literally so big. ]
At least you look like you're a bit more at ease than some of the others.

I'm used to haunted stuff as a sorcerer. We visit sites like this all the time, except they're actually creepy.
no subject
[ Because most people, Daan himself included, sure aren't. ]
no subject
[ you have to be a freak in this field. ]
It's just life.
no subject
[ And how does one use it. Is it like... controlled ghosts? Black Orb?? ]
