[darkbishop]

Dark magic can also be used to heal where you're from? That's fascinating... Ours are entirely separate - the only sort of magic that can heal falls under Faith magic, while dark and black magic are a different school, Reason magic.

[No points for guessing why he's not a healer.]

[monstrology]

[Now he's just straight-up laughing.]

Who came up with those names? As if faith and reason can't be used together. Listen, I get that there are some real religious nutjobs out there—I've taken care of a few!—but that's just offensive.

[He doesn't actually sound offended, though. Just very amused.]

[darkbishop]

I wish I knew.

[we just don't know why fódlan is like this...]

Many mages do learn some of both schools, though that doesn't change the ridiculousness of the naming scheme.

[But anyway!!]

When you say you've "taken care of" a few of those religious nutjobs - is that in the context of "punishing sinners"?

[...you can absolutely hear the air quotes.]

[monstrology]

[Will cheerfully air quotes right back.]

Oh, I "punished" 'em, all right. Wink, wink.

[darkbishop]

[oh my god you're the worst. it gets him to evil laugh again, okay!!]

Sometimes people like that need to be "punished" regardless of the world, it seems. The Church in Fódlan is similar in that regard.

[If you're the wrong kind of overzealous then you die, if you're the right kind then you'd better hope Rhea likes you!! He is not biased against the Church at all, don't worry about it.]

[monstrology]

Oh yeah? The Church as a whole? What've they been up to?

[Disulisioned as he was working for the Church, he didn't completely lose his faith in it. But he also couldn't care enough to be the change he wanted to see, so...]

[darkbishop]

The Church of Seiros essentially controls Fódlan; they are brutal with "sinners" and use their influence to guide Fódlan as they see fit. They've been at it for a long time, with very few willing to stand against them.

[Okay, that's a super biased view of it and not even the whole story, but that's a good enough explanation, probably.]

[monstrology]

[Will's tone falls flat, and he scoffs.]

Lemme guess, by "sinners", you mean "people who don't agree with their exact doctrine". That's not even how it works...

[Ugh, so it's a whole organization full of religious nutjobs, then. Unfortunate. But wait...]

But Lady Edelgard is standing against them, right?

[darkbishop]

Agreed.

[Hubert holds no love for religion in general, but the way the Church of Seiros handles it is despicable.]

She does, yes. Her Majesty chose to take a stand against the Church and we continue to fight against them.

[...and you know, the rest of fódlan, but nbd—]

[monstrology]

[On Will's end, it gives him a bit of pause. His own Church isn't perfect by any means, but having to reform the entire organization would be such a monumental task.]

Man... I hope you and the others being stuck here isn't messing that up too bad.

[darkbishop]

I know Lady Edelgard will be just fine without me.

[It isn't ideal. It will be difficult for her. But the Professor is back now, and hopefully they can at least maintain the status quo until he returns. The war has been in a stalemate for five years, after all; it's possible things won't change much right away.]

Still, I would like to return as soon as possible. I hope we're able to find a way to do that soon.

[monstrology]

Weeeeell, if you need help, I guess I could look into it too... Especially since I think I'm gonna die of boredom if I don't get back home soon. I can only talk to you for so long before we run outta things to talk about.

[He's still going to be bored, but at least he'll be productively bored??]

[darkbishop]

I would appreciate the assistance. There's only so long I can prove to be somewhat entertaining, I'm afraid.

[and then the event happened and will immediately forgot about this—]

[monstrology]

[Apologies yet again to Hubert von Vestra.]

Eh, you're doing a lot better than most people so far at least, so thanks for that. But yeah, I'll look into some stuff with Malachite- see if there's anything going on there.

[darkbishop]

Perhaps you'll be lucky and Malachite will be a monster.

[It's a joke, and one that is absolutely going to come back to bite him soon enough!!!]

[monstrology]

Don't even give me hope like that! It really would be the one saving grace in this hell...

[Dramatic as always...

But, yeah. Have fun getting utterly humiliated in the future, Hubert!!!]
