Some time ago, there was someone on the network extending an offer to enchant various objects with their presumably magical abilities. Given that I don't tend to trust anything said to be magic however, I made no particular note of the person posting and don't recall the time frame.

Just as well really, seeing as they may or may not still be present anyway.

Now, if anyone here does possess such abilities, I'd like to get in contact with them. I don't anticipate any great projects emerging, just a few simple safeguards for a handful of items.

Of course, I wouldn't expect this type of service to be free and I'm certainly open to negotiation. Do be prepared to be able to prove effectiveness, however.

I'm not certain. All I know is that casting spells comes naturally to my kind. I don't research how they work and why beyond the relation to dragons.

[driftsintobuffetline]

WTF...You mean you're not even a LITTLE curious about your own abilities and biological functions? Don't you want to know why/how you work?

[governorkang]

It's never been much of a concern?

[driftsintobuffetline]

DA FUQ DUDE
A CONCERN??
I am concerned! Where is your innate curiosity? Don't you ever just want to take things--yourself, even?--apart to see what makes it tick? Don't you ask WHY?

[governorkang]

I'm an engineer, Newt. Of course I do. I just have a preference for non-living things.

[driftsintobuffetline]

But don't you want to know how YOU work??? At the very least, you have to live as you! You don't come with an owner's manual! Don't you want to know?

[governorkang]

How much poking and prodding is this going to entail?

[driftsintobuffetline]

A...little. Maybe? Some. More or less.

[governorkang]

There will be ground rules.

[driftsintobuffetline]

You sound like Hermann. Actually, you sound like Hermann and Qubit and every other engineer/techy/mathy person--are you all NO FUN?

Except Hiro. Hiro gets a pass. He's a COOL kid.
Doc's kind of cool too.

[governorkang]

You think I'd let you poke and prod me indiscriminately like a lab rat?

I'm fairly certain launching a minotaur from a catapult qualifies as fun. And building fake dragons to prank idiots.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Like a doctor?

While I'll concede those sound hella fun, you all still sound like pocket-protector- and suspender- wearing nerds in your Rocket-Launching (or is an Egg-Drop a closer approximation??) and Robotics clubs.

[governorkang]

You may want to think twice about calling any of my kind nerds.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Ooo scary, Revenge of the Nerds.

What're you going to do, Kang? Shove me in my locker?

[governorkang]

Being shoved in a locker would be the least of your worries.

[driftsintobuffetline]

I was almost eaten by things far bigger than you, dude. You don't really scare me.

[governorkang]

I've killed things far bigger than either of us. Using some of the spells you're so curious about.

I'll start looking for a quarry.
