[ Malleus is not one to use technology much, especially phones, but he is today. ]
Good afternoon, for those who are unaware, I am Malleus Draconia. I have some inquiries for all of you.
Since my arrival, I have learned that if you had magic back home you can acquire a tattoo to use it here. Or if you had no magic, you can gain it through the same process. However, what I'm most curious to learn is if someone lost their magic before arriving in this world, would the tattoos be able to give it back to them or could they only acquire the magic found here?
[ Only two people know why Malleus is asking about this, and it's likely to stay that way. ]
As for another of my inquiries, I'm well-aware that finding this Rift-Creating Artifact is quite the monumental task and likely means the end of our journey here for many. That there is no true rhyme or reason to who comes and who leaves as of yet, but any information you may have on the Rifts and your discoveries on how they work would be greatly appreciated. I wish to invest some of my time into learning how these Rifts work or at the very most, being able to manipulate them to some extent.
[ And Malleus has a lot of time to spare. ]
For those with the ability, whether it be by ship or some other means, have you ever ventured on a different path than the leviathans? Tried traveling beyond what seem to be their destinations. Would anyone be interested in trying such a thing?
[ There's a bit of a pause where one might think Malleus has ended the feed or lost his train of thought. Either way, he obviously had a lot on his mind - a curiosity that has grown the longer he spent time here. ]
My last question is perhaps a bit more personal for those who wish to share their answer. If given the choice, would you remain here in this world or go home? Is there a reason you would prefer to stay?

[Kaveh ain't snitching on that octopus, Malleus.
He audibly snorts at the last question.]
To live out my life as though it was all some sort of dream? But there's no guarantee we return to our homes upon death. This world is dangerous, just as much as many of the worlds we came from. For those who have nowhere to return to...I would never deny them their new home.
But I'd like my bones to rest in the same world my fathers' do. Besides, stories like the one you propose always have a tragic ending. No, I'd rather search for the solution I'm seeking, rather than trying to find a loophole that doesn't backfire.

[ Nah, but that octopus might tell him. ]
I don't recall saying to live here until death, "live out your life" could also refer to achieving your desire to retain your memories and allowing free travel to your world.

It's reckless to believe that Death cannot come for you at any age. [After all, Kaveh's father was younger than Kaveh is now...
After all, Alhaitham was even younger, if he had drowned on Norhpip.] Life is resilient, Mr. Malleus. But it is also...so surprisingly fragile.

It is my understanding that people from the same world have arrived from different times. I, myself, am from further along than two individuals I know. Yet any death they may or may not have suffered here did not interfere with their lives back home.
[ Almost like his toy, where his dragon lives out the lifespan and leaves behind a new life to continue the cycle. ]
Do you believe that dying here means that you cannot go home or that it somehow impacts your life back there?

[Why risk it? Why take the horrific chance to find out?]
no subject
[ Meaning no one has died here, at least not that has been announced or in this current group of riftfarers. ]
