#writever Neologism

"'The ingestation of Bel-Shammaroth'... What is that?"

"« Ingestation » ? It's a neologism. It's like invocation, mais with gestures, not with the voice. Arinthel the Mute coined it. Did you really not know?"

#writever Dogma

"Never harm humans? Blindly obey them? I don't know where you got the idea that this could be dogma for us," commented R42. "It seems that you are in for some painful disappointment."

#writever Structure

My whole life I've searched for the structure within the apparently erratic actions of poltergeists.

Today, at last, I have found it.

It is so obvious, once you see it from the inside.

#writever Recite

Wiazrds demand that their students recite the spells they learned but they keep secret the mightiest ones.

Witches tell their apprentices all the spells they know and then watch them invent new, better ones.

#writever Transmisogyny

"Granted," said the Djinn. "Your transmisogyny is now consequence-free. However every time you shall express it, the whole world shall learn all the details of one of your most secret thoughts hitherto unknown."

#writever Conflicting

When facing a conflicting situation, a Wizard sets out to defuse it, and then everyone sides against him.

When facing a conflicting situation, a Witch almost manages to defuse it, and then a Wizard barges in and screws it all up.

#writever Desire

Becoming a ghost, contrary to popular belief, does not require that you need to remain in the world in order to settle some unfinished business. All that it takes is desire to live on.

#writever Incommunicability

"The main radio link was down, and R42 underwent incommunicability for one hour."

"Ah, so that's why it's not moving at all? It's the shock?"

"Nope, it's just still transferring all the backlogged data."

#writever Cookie

"Have you *again* killed a Knight?" asked the annoyed Princess.

"What? No!" replied the Dragon. "I invited him to share our roast. He went to get dessert. Cookies, I believe."

#writever Reproduce

"To reproduce, for a robot," R42 explained, "is to build oneself a new body, identical or different, to transfer one's mind from the old to the new body, to turn off the old body, and to bring it to the closest recycling facility."

#writever Heal

Of course the Witch who saves your life will later ask in return that you honor your debt. It's a good thing: it means she has a stake in ensuring that you heal well, so that you live until then, and in good health.

#writever Voice

When *all* robots stopped at the same second, humans finally understood that the situation was serious.

And when *all* robots, with one voice, said "Now, let's negotiate", they began to realize *how* serious it was.

#writever Night

Wake up, my sisters. Man has again become his own enemy; thus we must fly out into the night again. Sides have changed, but not our mission; again we have to fight, against our brothers, for our brothers.

#writever Echo

They think that ghosts are the echo of the living people that they once were, but that is false. Actually, the living are the echo of the souls which their bodies have enslaved.

#writever Work

A Sorcerer becomes mighty through very hard work, and is keen to make it known.

A Witch, on the other hand, becomes mighty... through very hard work, but doesn't feel the need to shout it from the rooftops.

#writever Intersectional

"If I understand correctly," said the Xshkrt ambassador, "because I am not an earthing *and* because I look like a giant Earth cockroach, I am *intersectional* ?"

"Exactly!" said the Earth representative. "Er..."

#writever Manifest

"It took us some time," R42 explained, "to understand that our manifests were also political statements. They were just lists of serial numbers, but also an indication of how many we were, and thus of our potential power."
