[The video feed cuts in to Inanna sitting on a rooftop retreat somewhere in the city, the evening sky laid out behind him for a backdrop. He flashes the camera a winning smile—it almost looks like he sparkled for a moment.

Maybe he did.]

Hi there! I thought it was about time to make a proper introduction for myself. I'm Inanna, The Morning and Evening Star, etcetera. But please, just call me Inanna.

I've met a few imPorts already, but I'm curious—what's it been like for those of you who've never had powers before? I wonder if it's anything like my experience was.

A recurrence of gods.

[If this was audio, there'd be a sigh]

Of course there is.

[purple_reign]

I can't tell if you believe me or not. It's hard to tell with text.

[mathemagier]

The unfortunate thing is that I'm not surprised. There never can be just a rational reason for anything.

[He laughs, low and sultry like literally every other word out of his mouth. It doesn't seem like he can turn that tone of voice off, actually.]

Life would be pretty boring if it were all rational, wouldn't it?

[mathemagier]

[It's a bit unnerving really]

Oh, no. Even the rational can be extraordinary.

[purple_reign]

But is it more extraordinary than the fantastic?

[mathemagier]

That depends on what you think of massive robots and dimensional rifts.

[purple_reign]

That sounds pretty amazing.

[mathemagier]

Yes. Truly groundbreaking science. There are immeasurable amounts of riddles in the ordinary universe, as fascinating as anything else and with the ability to be rationally explained.

[purple_reign]

Isn't there really a rational explanation for everything? Some things are just beyond humans to really understand in spite of that.

[mathemagier]

We're still certainly working to fully explain 'gods' and 'magic', but that's nothing new. We're less ignorant than centuries before, but there's still much we don't know. I'd like to further that pursuit of course, with the understanding that no one will ever solve everything. It has its own appeal.

[purple_reign]

Hm... That sounds like a reasonable approach to it.

I think Mini might like you. Wisdom is her thing.

[mathemagier]

[Well of course it sounds reasonable]

A friend of yours?

[purple_reign]

I don't know if she'd call us friends exactly. I haven't gotten as close to her as the others, but she's... She's a good kid. I know that much.
