[Cold, black eyes that were the same sheen as the ichor that flowed through the veins of all of the Grimm of Remnant; Darkness incarnate.

Oscar swallowed and looked away, playing with the food on his plate.]

I... see. That's interesting.

[A shrug.]

Magic isn't a thing where I'm from-- [That was a bold-faced lie, but it was also the common belief throughout Remnant.] So, I'm still learning about it. We've got powers connected to our souls, though? With training, anyone can shield or support healing themselves. Some people even unlock their own special powers.

[necrolord]

Shielding and healing. [ He echoes this softly to himself, and it's hard to say whether he sounds wistful in the sense of a man amazed, or in the sense of a man wryly amused. ] I'll guess the special powers don't usually wind up bone-themed.

[ So many worlds with magic, and so few worlds with necromancy. ]

[justoscar]

That depends on the person. Everyone's got a different personality, and no one really gets the same version of any kind of power.

[He shrugged. Auras and Semblances were ordinary concepts in Remnant, but they were just one part of the equation.]

One of the most famous warriors still alive back home calls herself the Grimm Reaper, and when she was active in the field she wore a mask that looked like a skull.

[necrolord]

[ He nods in open appreciation. ]

Fantastic choice. Great style. With us it's about the same, but with more real skulls.

[justoscar]

[hm. Oscar frowned over his dinner, nervous about what to ask but knowing he needed to keep the conversation going. It was only polite...]

Um. Sure, animal skulls are fine. I've heard of people deep in the woods who like to collect them-- and that they actually bury the parts that they want cleaned for months and months before digging it up. All that's left by that point is dirt and bone, so they polish it from there for their shelves.
