If it's a graph can't you take a picture?

[ Although he does think that explaining it in person would be more helpful. ]

[Nnnoooo

....but Stocke can... probably admit that it'd be easier than moving the distance from Bavan to Vandare. He's just got to figure it out first.]

[Give him a minute.]

[Or maybe something like twenty.]

[Eventually, finally:]

> MOIRAE has posted an IMAGE. If you wish to view, type MOIRAE01.BMP

it's built up over levels
each one has twice the numbers of the one before
once you run out it's read from left to right
everything from the left before anything in between
then everything to the right

> MOIRAE has posted an IMAGE. If you wish to view, type MOIRAE02.BMP
[Like so. And it being numbers instead of letters - well, that's a straight swap, Kaito can figure it out easy.]

oh I see
'How are wou with charts?'
I think your 21 should be 25 lol

but geez, that's really complicated
I think I'll stick to riddles
why do you want to know how I am with charts though?
or was that part of the joke

we called them encoding charts in specint

[And there were other patterns of reading them. And sometimes they'd double up ciphers on top. But he's... just not going to mention that right now.]

encoding charts, huh
we call them 'flow charts' back home
I don't know if they're still used in codes but I bet they are somewhere

[ Honestly, if Kaito ever wants to send something secret to Stocke in future then he'll probably double up the cipher without a second thought. Assuming he has the time.

The following comes after a few minutes: ]

wcrtrkf ?

[Which he totally didn't make up himself but look. He's not an expert in this.]

Is the answer 'acid'?

[ There's acid rain, and...well, he's not so sure about the 'shots from below'. Acid would probably turn a place into a desert after long enough though. Maybe??? ]

try again

[.....]

[....actually, wait a moment.]

does the world you came from have mana

er no, I don't think so
mana is magic right?

[ Going off his generic video game knowledge here. (And he doubts Mana, the priestess, is the answer to that riddle). ]

a form of energy
it does power magic

[So yes, basically]

well...
there's not really MAGIC magic where I'm from
but I can't say that it doesn't exist at all

[ Thinking of Akako here. ]

anyway, what does mana have to do with the riddle?

the answer's a creature that feeds on it

[...]

how does your mana exist if it doesn't sustain life force
[Which is what he's getting from 'I can't say that it doesn't exist at all'... mana's a touch too vital on his home continent to be described that vaguely.]

ohhh... I never would have gotten that haha

I dunno if mana does exist, but if it does I don't think it supports life where I'm from. Um...

It's a bit hard to explain on this but our bodies are a system of blood and other things and there's no one thing that keeps it working.

nothing different from us there
but it all falls apart without mana
much as it would if we lacked blood or breath

[...let's see, what other riddles does he remember being passed around the campfire.]

ynu trhe fttn tce trije tnseqve ft
dut ftrml onqtfnm ftnut
yetmn nmeerts naft

something you're sure to know in recompense

> huh... I think we'd have discovered something like that by now so maybe we don't have it after all

[ There's radio silence from him while he works out the riddle. Then-- ]

OH I GOT IT
IT'S CARDS, RIGHT???
A DECK OF CARDS

[No mana, but still magic that's not sleight of hand? Stocke drops the subject for now, but - then what powers it?]

[Akako: confusing men since 1987.]

that's right

hehe that's a good one
I'll have to remember that. I know someone else who'd like it~
