If we end up starving here, I'm going to eat a goat if that's all there's left. [ He is pampered, spoiled, and rich, but he will tap the survival button and eat a goat if he needs to. ] Who told you that, anyway?
[ RIVERDALE???? Satoru squints at this nebulous year. It means absolutely nothing to him. ]
Okay, most advanced technology where you're from. Go.
...The place that I come from is without the powers that appear to be present in some of the other homes here. Still, if an ability were a natural part of a human's body, I would imagine it would also be cloned. I'm afraid Reliver technology isn't my area of expertise, though. A researcher from the Institute would be much better suited to answering theoretical questions.
[IT'D BE SCI-FI THEORY TO ANYONE it's even sci-fi theory to him and he lives it.]
It's not impossible... [A very light frown as he considers.] It would certainly be better for everyone if technology like this weren't considered a necessity.
Anyone can afford it with planning. [It's expensive, but even Coene residents become Relivers.] Though whether one chooses to invest is a personal matter.
[ yeah but he doesn't have plans to live forever ]
... Like installment plans? [ So funny. ] It's wild to consider extending your life like that, but Tengen kind of does the same thing with his cursed technique.
For normal people, when your time comes, it comes.
[ the idea that gojo might do it just to see reformation of jujutsu society would be funny but we know how jjk ended up ]
When I was asking about body copies, it's because sorcerers are born with innate abilities! Tengen is a suuuuuper old sorcerer, ancient, and his technique is basically immortality.
More magic...? [MORE WIZARDS????? SORCERERS??? WARLOCKS??? WHAT THE HELL IS ALL OF THIS.] But it's innate to you? How strange to think of... It sounds similar to Gale.
Ah... [A nod... Gale explains things so wordily so he at least has a decent concept of Genetics Magic.]
Inherent abilities built into the genetics... No, we don't have anything like that, but it's a fascinating concept. It seems even among homes with similar abilities, those abilities manifest and exist in vastly different ways, at times.
[ thinking to himself maybe he could be a teacher....................... ]
That's right. There are lineages and bloodlines, then outliers born from non-sorcerer pairs. [ Nod nod. ] I'm surprised that the word "magic" seems to be kind of universal. It's broad, but it fits a lot of stuff for the most part.
But it's typically contained within a certain family line, then, correct? If it's passed down through blood. [WILD. He nods at that, though.]
There are quite a few terms like that. "Technology", "supernatural", even "curses"... Though the definitions can differ, the fact that the same words exist to describe roughly the same category of thing is interesting.

If you attempt to pray, you'll learn about the goats as well, unfortunately.
[ANYWAY FUNNY THING ABOUT THE ANSWER TO THAT.]
I'm unaware of what would be considered the most advanced, but some form of Reliver technology would likely be near the top.

[ He's not going to question it, but then he mumbles... ARE THEY IN AMERICA? IS THIS PLACE BASED ON AMERICA? ]
Obviously, I've never heard of anything like that.

It's south of wherever this "Rachel" person was, at least.
[Please his fucking Riverdale gospel. BUT RIGHT Relivers are such a commonass thing for him that he genuinely forgets he has to explain it.]
The technology that allows people to clone their bodies and make backups of their memories and personality.
[And yet they don't have movies.]
no subject
Seriously?
no subject
Yes? It was created a bit less than one hundred years ago.
no subject
But no movies?
no subject
[Just like how they have no cellphones or even dial phones but they do have bluetooth ear pieces!]
no subject
[ .......... ]
How exact are these copies?
no subject
[But also they are just freaks with cloning and no planes. IN ANY CASE after a moment of consideration:]
One could argue that they're near-perfect in their exactness, but the technology itself does have flaws.
no subject
it's fine. time to be a freak. there's some morbid fascination. ]
... And all that comes with bodies? Like the intrinsic power.

It is because we aren't like "normal people". [Though he's also just like THE WHO WITH THE WHAT.] What do you mean by cursed technique?
