Looking for a mechanic capable of fixing a prosthetic arm, altruistic introverts highly preferred, opportunistic assholes also acceptable.

Age irrelevant, but if you're a child I will comment on it.

Comments

[hexcope]

I know.

[Nail on the head, Robert. And because he's been insulted told that, he tries to overcompensate- by offering information Silco's intending on withholding.]

There's Silco, Jinx, and Sevika, who all "work" with each other. The rest of us; myself, Caitlyn, Vander, and Viktor, are what would be considered their "other side."

[badlydisarmed]

They're the disenfranchised and you must be government workers. You have a truce?

[He'd like to know how likely it is the child will use her bomb building skills here.]

[hexcope]

That's not

[Well. Okay. He's technically head of their government still.]

We don't all work for the government.

[Thank god for Vander and Viktor so that can be true at least.]

For the most part, yes, we do.

[badlydisarmed]

Does your world have antibiotics?

[It's been haunting him, and the inventor would know, wouldn't he?]

after a long time digging through stupid league lore

[hexcope]

We have medicine, if that's what you're asking. I'm going to assume it's not going to be a one-to-one comparison to what you're expecting.

[badlydisarmed]

I hear you invented teleportation.

[hexcope]

Technically, my partner and I harnessed the power of magic into devices that enabled free use of teleportation by non-mages.

But "invent" is viable shorthand.

[badlydisarmed]

Magic. Sure, why the hell not?

How's the inquisition going?

[hexcope]

What inquisition? I'm not asking anyone anything.

[badlydisarmed]

Shit, do you actually have a group of people who question people accused of witchcraft?

[hexcope]

Yes? Obviously?

Are mages not secretive in your world?

[badlydisarmed]

No magic in my world. We're normal.

[hexcope]

Oh. I'm sorry.

[badlydisarmed]

Don't be, our average lifespan is late 70s. One of your people said yours is 40.

[hexcope]

There's factors involved in that answer you're using to judge a whole world. Vander's right in that the Undercity life expectancy might be in the 40s for the year he's from, but it's probably not that anymore in what I'd consider the current year, and the life expectancy of those from Piltover is much higher. And that's only taking humans into account. It'd tip the scales much further in our favor if we included Yordles.

[badlydisarmed]

I'm gonna go ahead that Yordles are small, got big ears, talk funny, and live hundreds of years.

[hexcope]

[Robert about to meet one of the most gullible men alive:]

You've met one??

[badlydisarmed]

Not here.

[He saw Star Wars.]

[hexcope]

Anyway, yes. That's them. Weird that you knew that.

[badlydisarmed]

Non-humans don't count when talking about human lifespans.

[hexcope]

Fine, my point still stands. Vander's from seven years in my past. Things have changed somewhat.

[badlydisarmed]

From before you revolutionized transportation?

[hexcope]

Yes.

[badlydisarmed]

Was that what you were trying to do?

[hexcope]

Well.

No.

But the impact of the Hexgates still improved lives as a ripple effect.
