You know what to do.

YEAH, THAT'S SUPER WEIRD!

[magician_king]

I'm sticking around a bit longer, it turns out, so you have at least a few minutes to get used to it.

[tetractys]

JUST IN TIME TO WATCH US ALL GET KILLED!

[magician_king]

Uh oh, wait, what? This, or something else?

[tetractys]

THE AUTHORITY CATCHING UP WITH US FOR STEALING THEIR SHIP!

[magician_king]

Right. I don't think it'll happen in my tenure, personally. This feels like the thing, now.

[tetractys]

I DISAGREE, BUT, HEY! ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!

HEY, WEIRD QUESTION. CAN SOMEONE WITH THE WRONG NUMBER OF FINGERS LEARN ANYTHING FROM YOUR WORLD?

[Bill has four, but more importantly: Ford has six.]

[magician_king]

Oh yeah, man. More fingers, more casting. People add them on purpose, if they don't mind totally fucking themselves up spiritually.

[tetractys]

HOW'S THAT HAPPEN? A CONSEQUENCE OF MESSING WITH YOUR BODY?

[magician_king]

Yep. Shouldn't do bodies, definitely can't do faces. Your body's a good metaphor for your self.

[tetractys]

HOW'D YOU TURN INTO A DRAGON? IS THAT A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY CHANGES?

[magician_king]

One, it's temporary, and two, I'm a ball of hate when I'm like that. I want to fly the guy I'm seeing around in the Enclosure, but I'm scared I'd lose it and eat him.

[tetractys]

WOULD TEACHING ME NON-THEORETICAL MAGIC COUNT AS HELPING ME?

[magician_king]

Nope. You are already a powerhouse, you would not be helped by learning even more magic.

[tetractys]

I'D BE HELPED BEING LESS BORED.

[magician_king]

I doubt that too. You should probably learn how to be bored without bringing down chaos.
