[ Perhaps in a sudden melancholy brought on by the disappearance of so many in recent weeks, and of the aging shift that took place, Vanyel has had a particular question on his mind...]

I know this might seem to be coming out of nowhere and perhaps a bit dark, but, please indulge me if you will.

I have heard the stories and the theories and assertions that when we are sent home, if we are sent home, we are returned to the time and place at which we were originally taken, as if our worlds had stopped in our absence. How many of you believe this is true? Can something truly be so powerful? And do you fear what has happened in your absence, if it is not?

Perhaps, but would a mass wishing incur something more active? Or perhaps a wish that was a bit more complicated than something like food or clothing?

Maybe, if something like that could be arranged. Although there seems to be limits to what the castle will even provide, so something particularly complicated might not be possible.

I suppose that is true. I would say the best time might be when it is performing a world shift of sorts, but those are so unexpected and cannot be predicted...

I agree, given the amount of power that must be involved in those transformations. If there were some sort of early-warning system...

[And he may have just found yet another reason to go get lost in the library for a week]

Usually one can sense a gathering of power, a surge before the spell is cast. But, then we are still assuming what the Castle is doing is magic at all... but I cannot think what else it might be if not that.

If it's not magic, it's so indistinguishable it might as well be. But I suppose that doesn't help us figure out how to trace it.

No, it doesn't. I wish we had a better idea of its source too. And I do not like imagining we are said source, though it always seems the most likely answer.

I don't think we're really the source, per se. It needs us, certainly, perhaps for power, but I think there's more to it than that.

Yes, of course. A poor choice of words. But that we are important... does not sit well with me either.

Yes, well. I doubt we would even be here otherwise. Unless you think it only wants us for amusement, which seems far worse, to me.

Perhaps it is both, which is still not the happier thought.
