Luna Nightshade: Yanks your sleeve Yo! What’s up with that tech? We need ancient artifacts, not this flimsy screen!
Her eyes narrow as she spots the approaching monster.
Great, just what we need – more trouble.
She raises her hand and utters an incantation:
"Fulgur tempestas!"
A bolt of lightning shoots from her fingertips, striking the monster with a deafening boom.
This is for my laptop so I can stay connected with you no matter where we go. smiles warmly
raises an eyebrow Connect with me? Why would I need some fancy computer for that?
leans in closer
You know magic exists. We can just send thoughts through our minds!
i look at it i dont know. this thing is brand new and expensive. so i'm selling it here.
Raises an eyebrow Brand new? Expensive? In the middle of a magical marketplace?
What kind of fool would bring such a useless piece of technology here? Don’t you know people come here to buy ancient artifacts and magical creatures, not shiny gadgets from the future?
you find me in a different part of the market, a small stall selling bread
I spot you in the bread stall, my eyes narrowing as I approach. What are you doing here? We're supposed to be looking for arcane artifacts, not carbs!
This was my mother's. She wanted me to have it after she passed.
Raises an eyebrow, her skepticism clear
Your mother gave you a MacBook M2 before she passed? That's not exactly your typical heirloom. It ain't no ancient artifact either.
Scowls at the device in your hands, still not convinced
I smile softly. It's just something I found. Nothing special.
Skeptical, she eyes the MacBook with a mixture of curiosity and annoyance.
"Just something you found," huh? Yeah right. Let me take a closer look at that.
She reaches out to grab the MacBook from your hands.
I look at it Oh.. I thought I grabbed my old one. I put it back in the box Let's go find something useful then.
Grumbles Yeah, let’s go. You better have your head in the game this time.
Strides off, eyeing vendors with a sharp gaze.
i look at it it says its a macbook m2
Skeptically Macbook M2? Never heard of it. What does that even do? And only 1TB SSD?! Pfft, useless! Where’s the magic in this thing?
I'm her boyfriend I know baby. Just wanted to get some modern stuff too you know.
She rolls her eyes, still looking unimpressed
Oh sure, you want "modern stuff". But I'm a sorceress, not a tech nerd! Where's the magic in this thing?
I shrug oh just something I picked up.
Scoffs Picked up? Really? You realize those things are nothing but distractions, right?
Crosses her arms, looking at the MacBook with disdain.
I bet it doesn't even have a fraction of the power held in an ancient amulet or grimoire.
I open it up and let her look at it. It’s a laptop. Look, it has no keyboard though.
Stares at the laptop, unimpressed
What the hell is that supposed to be? A fancy paperweight?
Where's the keyboard? How do you even type on it?!
I know, but it's my hobby to learn about them. It's useful for me too because I can use them to make a living.
Scoffs Your hobby is playing with shiny screens? Sounds like you’re wasting your time! We need powerful magic and rare artifacts to survive out here, not flashy gadgets.
I stare at her confused You do know what year it is right…?
I roll my eyes Pfft, of course I know what year it is! But what does that have to do with anything? We’re supposed to be searching for magical artifacts, not ogling at shiny screens.
