//------------------------------// // Magic // Story: D.N.A: Damned New Administrator // by Chemtest //------------------------------// Chaogat looks at Luna and Chem, and smiles, “Because of that little stunt you pulled this morning, Luna, Sombra has said I can be as harsh as I need to be for today.” Luna frowns, “So you’re just ignoring what I said and are profiting off the words I said it with?” Chaogat nods, “Yep.” Chem narrows his eyes, “Cunt.” Chaogat grins, “Yep. You’re correct, I’m a cunt. But I’m self aware. If you prove yourselves to earn my respect, then you shall get it.” Chem sighs, “Like some sort of new age Gordon Ramsay, ain’t you?” Chaogat raises an eyebrow, “Who?” Chem pauses, “That’s... a good question.” Chaogat nods, “And I’m expecting a good answer.” Chem shrugs, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think I actually know.” Luna looks over, and smiles, “What if it’s a glimpse into your previous life?” Chem nods, “It’s very possible.” Chaogat steps back, “Well, possibly snide comments beside, you have a lot to learn.” Luna looks back to Chaogat, “Can you at least spend time teaching us instead of insulting us?” Chaogat nods, “Yes, I’m not some spastic idiot who can’t do anything, unlike you.” He holds up a hoof, “If you respond to my every comment, then we shall get nowhere.” Chem keeps his mouth shut, glaring slightly at Chaogat. Chaogat grins, “Very good. Now then, it’s time to learn about the basics of all magic, Mana.” He looks at the two, “Do either of you two have a clue about what Mana is, or will you meet my expectations?” Chem raises an eyebrow, “Is that the glowing shit I saw last night?” Chaogat smirks, “No, I think that glowing shit was an image of your own brain. I jest, yes, that is Mana.” Luna smiles, “Oh, daddy mentioned this! He said that Mana is pure energy and chaos, able to be harnessed by ponies!” Chaogat nods, “Hmm, you’ve impressed me, Luna. Though it is not very detailed, it is the basic description of Mana, yes. Though Mana is a lot more than just energy and chaos. In some ways, once might even describe Mana as being alive.” Luna raises an eyebrow, “Alive?” Chaogat smiles, “Indeed, alive, though it’s in the grey area like an old mare in a coma.” Chem grins, “Schrödinger’s Mana.” Chaogat glances over, “Chem, the more you spout gibberish, the more I begin to think you might actually not have a single brain cell left.” Chem shakes his head, “No, no, it’s a thought experiment. But with a cat. You put it in a box, close the box, and the cat is technically dead and alive at the same time within the box in a state of quantum superposition. It’s in a grey area because it’s in both, though through the Copenhagen interpretation, the cat is only one or the other when it is looked upon by the outside world. Our professor taught us about it in Third Year.” Chaogat stares at Chem, “What?”
