How long were you with them?

I've been an EMT a little longer though, the game job was always a part time thing

I'll be moving up soon hopefully! Unfortunately this is one of the worst paid areas to be an EMT-Basic.
I'm currently experiencing an existential crisis over the fact that "barrier" sounds so much more natural in conversation than "bounded field" but makes infodumps sound terrible, while "bounded field" flows like gravel out of people's mouths but makes infodumps so much easier to understand.

Why can't English have a single word for "a space delimited by some sort of boundary" that sounds as snappy as kekkai

And I'm not using fucking "field" Leo don't even say it it makes people sound stupid.
How about
Boundary?
go with
domain.
You know you want to.
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
I keep waffling between that and barrier but the problem is that both of those words basically refer to the actual line separating inside and outside while 結界 is more about the space inside.
Bounded domain.
Boundomain.
(I'm this close to going full Eoten and replacing everything with Siimaabandha...)
Yeah mcjon I had the exact same thoughts re: barrier vs bounded field
I just started editing, so the final 's still up in the air.
Both of you better coordinate so that you both pick different ones to go with for maximum confusion.
Localizationing stuff
Innate Kekkai are the greatest taboo among magi.
Translator's note: kekkai means Siimaabandha.

Now I'm obsessing about this, thanks.
Bailiwick?
You're welcome. (After all this I'm probably just going to stick with barrier since it works well enough in most casual contexts and in technical explanations the explanation itself gets across the fact that it's being used a little differently than usual.)
People who know what this means will probably think it too specific, and most people won't know what it means.
Fits the delimited space criterion, but probably sounds too sci-fi. Ditto sector (which is, at its heart, a translation of temenos).Zone
Just 'area'?

sounds like a bulter from a Disney kid's show.
Perfect.

Bounded Barrier is how we initally actually tl'ed it years ago believe it or not. Someone made it Bounded Field (either mm, arai, or just general transition like how everyone went from saying Chokushi no Magan [yes we used to actually only call it that and were looked at as a weirdo if you used anything else] > MEoDP).I'm currently experiencing an existential crisis over the fact that "barrier" sounds so much more natural in conversation than "bounded field" but makes infodumps sound terrible, while "bounded field" flows like gravel out of people's mouths but makes infodumps so much easier to understand.
