Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

[ A bit of a pause. ]

Honestly, I haven't the faintest idea. If I weren't involved with it all, I suppose I'd have become a secretary like I was supposed to.

I seem a bit too energetic for a desk job, I suppose? Honestly, though, I wouldn't have minded it, really. It's one of the best jobs a commoner can have - it's safe, the pay is good. Butlers get paid better, but they also don't get to go home at the end of the day. If the world had been different, it would have been OK.

Then I'd be a magician and the best thing I could do would be to find some hut out on some windswept island where I couldn't do any harm to anyone.

Their authority (and their right to jobs as businessmen and doctors) comes from their ability to use magic, and magic comes from enslaving spirits. It's POSSIBLE to use magic on the basis of an equal partnership with the spirits, but all of them are brainwashed to think that's not possible. If I'd been raised as a magician, I'd probably think the same way.

Yeah. That's what I'm fighting to change. Not just for us commoners, either...They take kids when they're just five or six years old and train them to be slavers. Train them to be friendless, suspicious, hateful. It's for them, too - all those poor magicians who think this is the way to live. And then become doctors and businessmen and prime ministers and teach the next generation to be just like them.

Yeah. But -- eurgh, sorry. I really didn't mean to get started on something depressing again. I promise I'm capable of having a conversation that doesn't turn into talking about how awful things are back home.

Oh, can I? OK, JAIME'S FAULT

No, I just know that sometimes people get annoyed by me talking about it so much. So if you want me to stop...well, tbh, I won't, because it's so important, but I'll at least feel bad.

OK, but I AM thinking about it all the time. Asking me to stop that is like asking the wind to stop blowing.

I want to. Sort of. I don't know! I've been trying to be more of a Normal Person or whatever, but I just start thinking of everything that my people are going through, and everything those poor spirits are suffering, and I just get so upset that I want to go out and DO SOMETHING. Anything. Even if it's just planning. Or venting.

I probably sound perfectly mad, don't I. Pathological.

So, therefore, I should think about it less? I don't know...If I'm thinking that way, then wouldn't it make more sense to try to think about it MORE so that I can make sure that what I'm doing DOES help?

Right, except...What I need to spend that time on is cracking the secret they have here of blocking traveling between dimensions. That's how I'll stop magic back home.
