[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]
[Wingies!!! Levity looks pretty impressed. This is really cool.]
I didn't realize they were that big! Hmm, let's see... I imagine you rely on magic during flight at least somewhat? I believe that under normal aerodynamics laws those separations on them would affect trajectory and add needless air resistance.
Hm, I've never exactly thought about it consciously. But I suppose I do, yes. The whole thing is held together with magic really so more or less anything would have to involve it somehow.
Indeed... But we are rather more restricted in our usage of magic here--although now that I think of it, you could probably circumvent a lot of the physics with Common Law? I'm not entirely certain about the precise limitations of the ability.
It can't affect something already happening in the area, so for example something like gravity is always impossible. It also only affects a certain area, so while I could say "wings can be used to fly" so long as no one had already attempted and failed, if I moved outside that space I would plummet. It's quite a small range at that, so the frequency of creating the law again to avoid that would be constant.
[Curse you useless hell magic. Levity sighs then circles Vergil a little to come touch one of the wings.]
Well, the solution I'd propose is somehow making your wings strong enough to carry you, with perhaps some additional gear to supplement the wing shape to be more viable for magicless flight. My main idea is some manner of an anti-gravity generator, and I know Intensity's made a hoverbike for Izanagi, so that's something to base it off of. Of course, in the case of a living creature the problem is the way the lack of gravity pull would affect your body - organs, specifically.
Of course you wouldn't. Well... In that case what I am concerned with is your sense of balance and how it would be affected in zero gravity, so we'll need to run some tests on that. It would also likely not be necessary to fully negate your body weight, depending on how strong your wings are under our daily conditions. Now... can you show me how you usually fly?
[Why would he care if he got a little hurt in the process!]
Sure.
[He does more or less simulate some regular flight with them, flapping to take off and such. But he definitely just sort of levitates in midair and while he positions them in such a way it looks like they could be doing something to help with drag and such, they aren't really part of what propels him forward or anything.
Why should you be envious of someone else because I look impressive...? I suppose he is the one who sees me this way most often, but there still is no reason to be envious of that.
Actually, I would say that's exactly the reason. I assume you're in demon form with him more often without him needing to go out of his way to ask you for it, which is what I would have to do every time I want to see you as a demon.
Not especially, I do spend time with Lahabrea in dreams quite often, Hades as well, but the latter tends to invite or remind me to transform. It's hardly that much.
Mm... I don't think you need bother with invitations so much. I know Cosmo quite adores your demon form; I'm certain he'd be delighted to see you like that without anyone reminding you.

Date: 2021-03-20 04:45 am (UTC)It wouldn't be much of a problem if it isn't constant exposure, would it? If I were to need to be healed now and then, I wouldn't care.

They're more or less aesthetic. Rip.]

Date: 2021-03-20 05:34 am (UTC)...You are definitely relying greatly on magic for this. We'll have a lot of testing to do.
Re: 339 night; for vergil and maybe alexander

Re: 339 night; for vergil and maybe alexander
Date: 2021-03-22 06:41 am (UTC)I suppose so, yes. But I must say you look very impressive. I feel quite envious of Cosmo.
