Dust is a source of energy. While you are capable of using magic, we use Dust to power our technology and make every day life convenient: Fire, Water, Electricity, Wind, amongst others.
The limitations are endless when Dust is involved, and anything is more powerful when you use it with your Aura.
[ So basically... magic! Dispensable magic, anyway. ]
[... Sounds like a resource from a video game, when she explains it like that.]
So... It's magic, basically. But the kind you need physically? We don't have anything like that where I'm from. And honestly, magic pretty much doesn't exist in any capacity back home, unless you learn it from a demon. And since no one even knew they existed until everything went down back home...
Yeah, magic was something you'd hear about in fairy tales back home too. Nothing that actually existed, unless it was in books or movies or stuff like that.
... It was pretty disorienting, being able to use it for the first time.
It used to. But now I'm kind of like... a bottomless fountain of the stuff? I'm sure I could probably exhaust it, but it'd be pretty hard. Especially since it's something that also regenerates with rest, much like Aura.
[ There's an outburst of energy with the way she says it, as if she just thought about it and blurted it out loud. It's a good question! In her head, anyway. ]
I can. I don't have to anymore, but I kind of like to anyway, since it's a decent way to pass the time and it's a bit awkward staying awake when no one else is?
[It's a good question! And the answer is... Sometimes!]
I can still get sleepy, if I'm doing nothing for too long. My body is sort of still used to my human rhythms, since it's still fairly human? And I can definitely get tired if I over exert myself.
[ Please keep up the normal stuff, body. You're doing a great job. ]
No... at least, I don't think so? I mean, there might be some kind of binding that might be able to hold me for a bit, but it probably wouldn't last very long.
[ As far as he's aware, he's as immortal as they come. ]
I mean, you could probably kill me, but I'd... get right back up, after a few minutes or so.
[ So it's the same with Salem, then. That's kind of unfortunate. Not that she'd want him dead! Just that she figured she might have gotten a clue on how to get Salem down and out for the count finally. ]
[ Hmm... if he gives it a little more thought.... ]
Actually, the first Bel had it's power sundered and split by God originally... And while obviously it didn't die, it was pretty weakened for thousands of years. And I did kill the God that did that and took over, so...

No, I was just asking. I'd want my sword here, if I could bring an item.
... [ She heaves out a sigh. ] I feel a little awkward not having it now.
no subject
[Not that he isn't technically a weapon himself, but.]
Then again, with all the different people who are wildcards here, who knows what might happen. Maybe you'll get it back somehow?
no subject
[ She highly doubts this is just a place for relaxation. It's a casino. Sooo many dangerous things happen in casinos. ]
Maybe. I mean, it could already be here and I just don't know. That's why I want to look around.
no subject
They aren't.]Is it something you used often back home? If it's here, maybe I can find it?
no subject
[ That's a lot of jargon. ]
It's a rapier. Do you know what that looks like?
no subject
[Hm. If it's something she uses often, then it should carry her scent on it.
If it's here, it shouldn't be too hard to find.]

[ But it is, and she implies that much. ]
No human is capable of magic— using the elements without the use of Dust or Aura. You'd hear about it in fairy tales, though.

[ Has he even used a lot of it since he became a demon? Who knows. It's worth asking, anyway. ]

That's all I wanted to know.

I don't know. Maybe it is possible?
no subject
[ Because that would be bad for him! ]
