So, I have an animal-related task that my friend and I need to complete! Can I get an animal mage to step up? Raise your hands? Or paws? I've got some gold to pay with, if you need compensation.

((OOC note: This isn't related to the Animal Mage Hunt quest, but feel free to assume it is, if you like. The timing is hilariously bad but purely coincidental.))

There's no cultivation here, they might just be talking about frog poetry or something. I don't know if I'm ready for that.

There's magic! There's so much magic. Isn't that kinda the same thing?

Besides, do you have something against frog poetry? Maybe it's very nice poetry!

[raveyardpatriarch]

It either is or it isn't. For ☁️ purposes, the answer is probably "isn't." He won't be swayed by frog magic.

What if it's frog recipes? I would definitely have something against that.

[sulit]

How is it not the same thing? I don't see it. Magic is just a word for manipulating the ambient energy of the world around us, thereby producing results that couldn't be achieved through normal physics. Things like achieving immortality... That's definitely magic!

What do you have against frog recipes? Maybe bugs are delicious. Have you ever tried them?

[raveyardpatriarch]

When you put it that way I can definitely see some similarities. But ideally cultivation uses your own energy, and *not* ambient energy. Though it's all the same energy, really, when you get down to it. But you probably shouldn't say that to any cultivators.

Have YOU? I don't want to think about things cooked by tiny sticky frog hands.

[sulit]

Agreed! Your energy, ambient energy; it's all the same stuff, and I will happily say it to anyone~ Any of your silly cultivators that think they are made of some special magical energies are in for a rude awakening.

I haven't tried bugs, but I know someone who has! Probably. I'm sure she thinks they taste good. I hear they're very good protein, whether sticky frog hands have touched them or not. Is it better or worse than 👻 hands? You did offer to tie my noodles together once! I can't believe you're complaining about hands touching food now.
