Put it away. Tools of war disgust me.

This is a robbery. Give me all of your money and I'll kill you.

-Is figuring out how best to make the hole in the floor leading to the ruins not a tripping hazard-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

-to Reiji- No.. the difference between witches and mages is that witches don't exist.

Uhh....it kinda HAD to. Ever since the global outbreak. I mean, how else are everyday citizens gonna defend themselves from the infected huh?

(to Cloud) Not in your world I guess....

If you're weapons are so powerful surely the infected are wiped out by now. And what are these infected anyway?

-Shrugs- A witch is someone that does magic that isn't actually possible. Like turning a tree into acid or something. You can't change the chemical composition on that level. Petrification is only possible because we're all carbon based, and even that required a bit of talent.

(to Cloud) Yeah, that makes sense....exactly why science is still baffled with witchcraft in general.

(to Granz) Hey, it's a work in progress okay? We're making these weapons stronger by the decade, it'll take a while. Besides, the problem is the virus, and developing something to counter that is going to take even longer.

Well, to put it short, big deadly virus outta nowhere, people get infected, die and become monsters. That's all you need to know.

-Pipes up-

Not all universes hold the same level of physics-integrity.

-Shrugs-

All I'm saying is don't discount something as impossible just because you haven't seen it yet. Some would say the sort of magic you're able to do is impossible.

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Look, I think I understand your deal with weaponry in general.

But you gotta understand, it does become a necessity sometimes.....

You're researchers are obviously brilliant. Should they shift their effort towards a vaccine I'm certain this virus would be a non-issue.

Its just taking a while? Excuse me but if I'm a little suspiscious of weapons becoming stronger by the minute but a cure being nearly impossible to find. Weapons are greed taken shape.

(sigh) Making weapons stronger is a pretty simple task. They're not meant for invasion, or conquest or anything. Just self defense, alright? They already put a bunch of strict laws on weapon usage as is.

And the virus? They're still trying to figure the damn thing out, let alone find a cure. It just came out of freakin nowhere, and researching it is already extremely dangerous.

Oh, and I said by the DECADE man. Not minute. You're exaggerating things.

Weapons are easy. Cures are damn near impossible. With weapons, you can build on preexisting tech. With a cure, you're usually dealing with a new virus, right the fuck outta nowhere. Assuming you're lucky enough to have it similar to another virus you've already cured, there's still the matter of figuring out which proteins you can mess with and which you can't. They also replicate using the host's own cells by corrupting the DNA. With bacteria, you can just take antibiotics, but viruses aren't truly living to begin with, apart from a few rare exceptions. To date, even in my world, which I'll be so bold to say is ahead of most of yours in terms of biotech, they have yet to discover a drug that kills viruses.

And they mutate. Quickly. So you can have it cured one day, and have to start from scratch the next. -Sips his tea-

I could go on.

(chuckles) You make it sound like trying to catch a sample of the virus is like walking to the kitchen to get coffee.

I can't do that for ya. If I meet a scientist, I'll tell him about you.

You don't think I've never tried that? That university-graduate mages and scientists with millions of gil in funding haven't tried that? Doesn't matter what you use. A virus is still a virus. It will still change, it will still corrupt the host, and the body will have to adapt to it or die. Simple as that.

And if you bring them here, you'll be endangering everyone else here, and I will kill you to save the rest of us.
