If you end up with magical powers but you don't ever use them, except maybe on accident, that's not violating the Jewish prohibition on casting magic, right? It's fine, right?

I can't say I know much about Jewish law, but if it's just the casting of magic that's prohibited then your logic seems sound to me?

[accidentallich]

I don't have my usual books to reference, but if it's something I can't control, I think that should be okay...

[Hi Gershom. Kuro's currently spending a significant amount of time in a blanket pile, but the network is a good distraction, especially when it comes to his friend.]

If you aren't making a choice to use them, I don't think it's a problem. Not that I know much about Jewish law.

[accidentallich]

[okay but what if they're messaging from like right next to each other tho]

I've spent this long avoiding even trying to learn how to cast a glamor, I don't want that ruined by something I can't help...

Thank you.

If it's a prohibition against casting magic, then that should be fine.

[accidentallich]

I hope so. I've spent a long time trying to avoid breaking this particular rule, even if it'd be easier for me.

[neetvampire]

[...Yes. Don't mind him just flopping all over Gershom like some animated blanket burrito.

Could he talk? Yes. Does he want to? Not particularly.]

It kind of sucks you have to try so hard to avoid it, but the fact that you've stuck to your beliefs this long is really admirable, I think.

[Few people could say they'd be steadfast as such for a thousand years.]

[accidentallich]

It's something important to me. I want to hold on to it as much as I can. There are plenty of things that I can't do as a Jew because of what I am, but I want to be the best that I can be, at least.

[...Squirrels his hand out from his own blanket to squeeze Kuro's shoulder.]

What's a Jewish

[accidentallich]

It's my religion.

[neetvampire]

[Ah...

Don't mind him leaning into that. He might want to curl in Gershom's lap for awhile, he promises he won't be a nuisance.]

I don't know much about being Jewish, but I do know that you're a pretty great person.

[accidentallich]

[Kuro is always welcome to snuggle with him.]

It means a lot to hear that from you.

I think you're wonderful yourself.

[holeful]

I mean, I don't really know how magic works either, but maybe if you're worried there'd be a way to ask for it to be taken back?

[accidentallich]

Oh, that's a good idea... We got these from Gojira, maybe they can take them back if I ask nicely enough?

They're a little intimidating to talk to though...

[bloodyroses]

Uh

fuck.

Okay, I'm not really a religiously minded person in general and I obviously don't know shit about your religion in particular, but I guess I have to ask

do you feel bad about doing the thing?

[accidentallich]

Incredibly bad.

[bloodyroses]

Okay, good. I mean, I don't know anything about whatever god you worship or whatever, but I think feeling bad about doing the thing means you're taking this seriously which is good?

Am I making sense.

[accidentallich]

Yes, I think so. It would be bad if I was just okay with it.

[Fukuda, who just got here;]

They were here??
[HE KNOWS THAT LIZARD!!! FROM MOVIES!!!!]

[accidentallich]

Yes? Do you know them?

[Gershom doesn't watch enough Kaiju movies to know more than Godzilla and Mothra.]

[reflash]

I can't speak for Jewish prohibitions, but it isn't as though you asked for this, or you intend to use it.

[accidentallich]

They're usually understanding about that sort of thing. Not that I've been in this situation before.

[holeful]

[I mean those are the most important ones obviously.]

I mean, not personally? It's fictional in my world. There's a lot of movies.

[accidentallich]

Oh, I see. I was hoping you had advice for approaching them.

[holeful]

Unfortunately not. In the movies usually they're causing more problems than solving them?
