[ it's fine sometimes i just forget to type correctly ever ]
So, what Vira heard was something actually happening, rather than referencing or alluding to something. [ so... someone out there just has a pocket full of teeth? oh i hate it. ]
Something sinister and cryptic, I'm sure. But powers and such aren't active here, from what I know. It couldn't have been someone casting a spell, at least as far we know, given how things have been working so far.
[ ... ] Yeah. Yeah that's pretty much what happened. Frustrating, isn't it?
That's the thing. 'Powers and such' - [ and yuri knows how much gu yun thinks magic is bullshit, really, so the fact that he's considering this angle means he's very serious about it ] - may not be around, but this place itself has them. After all, it's not normal for me to be able to wish for something and have it simply appear, even if it's off the mark.
The Avatars made it sound like this place manipulated itself in order to cater to someone's indulgence for that to even happen.
[ he's not entirely sure what manipulated it, but gu yun's theory is less that it was one of the participants in this little game, and more that someone used those indulgences to their advantage. ]
I think, depending on how far someone is willing to go, the limits of this place are boundless. We shouldn't be thinking of them so concretely. [ which, for someone who has never dealt in magic or anything like that? is kind of frustrating. yeah. ] The focus for now needs to be not on "why" Beauregard, but rather, "how" someone was able to do that.
Well, we established the ... sock things were probably wished for. I wonder if you can manipulate the interpretations this place will come up with. Although what you wish for to get a human skull to appear, I couldn't say.
[ ... ] That came up yesterday. It seems like... half of the people here semi-expected this, and the lengths people would go to for their wishes. And the other half just seemed baffled by the idea.
...
Until we figure out the skull, I think we're at a dead end.
Mm. I don't think the skull necessarily came from that. I don't know what it came from, but I think it's something different.
[ the lack of teeth is still bothering him. the story vira gave is still bothering him. too many inconsistencies, too little information.
he sighs. ] Agreed. [ haha dead end. ] And, I think we need to see what tomorrow will bring, too, before anything - best not to pursue trivia and ignore the essentials.
[ putting the horse before the cart, and all that. ]

... Otherwise we'll end up forming a theory we won't deviate from and we'll miss the obvious things.
