Very sorry about the view everyone will be treated to while this conversation takes place.

[This video begins with a long, flickering stream of static and distorted voices.
Then, suddenly, clear sound:]

--but I can talk, too!

[The screen twitches, as if flinching away from the cheerful voice.
The world that comes into focus isn't a world at all more than what can best be described as blue, black, and some vague attempt at the colour of human skin.
Maybe it was flinching away from that instead.
The voice continues:]

Boys aren't very good candidates. However, in thinking about it, I suppose I can't afford to be picky when my primary demographic is so limited!

Something like that!

There is no fine print. The most important thing is: are you willing to risk your life?

[clockrocket]

[The blankest of fucking deadpan blank stares.]

ok so thats definitely not what i was already doing while fighting gigantic monsters in lohac and shit
i have no experience whatsoever in risking my life
or multiple timefucked lives
none
none at all

[justletmeknow]

[The smallest puff of air. It almost sounds like a small cat's sneeze, then:] Haaaaaaa~

I'm used to humans who say what they think they mean, but I think you're saying things you don't mean on purpose.

But that's great! If you have prior experience then this won't be all that different for you.

[clockrocket]

welcome to the world of human sarcasm
enjoy your stay
a complimentary lunch will be served at noon

[clockrocket]

so anyway
what do i get

[justletmeknow]

You get a wish!

[clockrocket]

im assuming theres no wishing for more wishes

[justletmeknow]

Correct.

You only get one wish which you can't take back.

[clockrocket]

can my wish affect other people or just myself
im trying to get an understanding of what my options are
and im just your mercenary after this basically is that what

[justletmeknow]

You may choose a wish that affect others -- within reason, of course!
The dead cannot be brought back to life.
The New Moorian government's technology interferes with our power and technology.
As a consequence, I wouldn't be able to remove an individual from this island or bring them to this island.

My ability to grant your wish depends on your potential as a... Puer Magi.

[justletmeknow]

Fortunately, I don't think a wish made by you will be a problem for me!

[justletmeknow]

But your understanding is correct.
Once made, the contract never ends.

[justletmeknow]

Rather, it won't end until your time is up.

[clockrocket]

im the goddamn knight of time
my time is never up

[clockrocket]

but ok so lets say i wanted to revive the early 90s
to the great dismay of my fellow islandmates
is that something you can do
bring shit back into style

[justletmeknow]

Yes.

[clockrocket]

whats a puella magi
whats the difference between puella and puer is that just girls and boys
do i get more powers
or fancy clothes

[justletmeknow]

The closest approximation is "Magical Girl."
Your conclusion regarding the differences between the two is correct.
Humans place much emphasis on gender.
As such, it wouldn't be accurate to call boys "puella magi."
You will receive new clothes and new power.
As I've seen it, these are based on your personality as well as your wish.

[clockrocket]

does this have to be written
signed
notarized
i can make a list for you if you like
that way its all official and shit

[justletmeknow]

We aren't interested in the rigmarole involved with contracts humans form with one another.
However, if you want to make a list, that's fine.
