[ OOC: I'm so sorry it took me forever to answer! I was really sick for the past week or so. I'm doing better today and was finally able to brain worm something! Also don't mind Megumi throwing literally a million questions up. It's just how his mind processes new information before coding it into something tangible! ]
We all made it out. [ No urgency in his tone. Eyes hold a steady gaze before shifting towards the cup of tea. The ramifications of their encounter are still being navigated even a full week after. Breaking his concentration as the antiquated book is placed in front of him.
Skimming through a few of the pages his eyes narrow as specific phrases catch his attention. Immediately reaching into his shadow, he retrieves his black leather notebook, and begins writing some of the highlights as well as his thoughts.
His handwriting is dark, neat and small for the most part.
•Continually bringing people out of their universes and into this one
He scribbles something illegible lightly next to it.
•The Pthumerian race were the first sentient beings capable of emotion and reason.
Did the old ones lack these traits?? And have always just existed? Being told something exists just because it "always had" isn't an answer Megumi likes to accept. It feels religious and not backed by science. That has him raise an eyebrow. But he is pulled back in when he reads:
• Becoming aware of things gave them power over those things, over reality.
This line sticks out. Looking up he points to the sentence. ]
What do you make of this? [ He asks but immediately answers himself as he traces a trail of thought. ] I think it could explain how pthumerians so easily change the landscape and manipulate the various trials. This implies that if they have an understanding of the Earth, it would be reasonable to assume they could control and manipulate some of its elements. I say some because- [ Shaking his head back and forth. ] - if they can “will reality” then why haven't they corrected the decayed world Sodder caused?[ Looking up meeting Viktor's gold eyes. ] Maybe they can't do that, and that would imply that they have limitations as well. [ A pause. ]
[ His mind reels as all the new information sends him on a journey of mixed emotions and questions, so many questions. Who are the old ones? And the pthumerian being good and friendly with people?? He needs to see more proof of that. Just looking around, this world was essentially sucked dry when Sodder’s dreams went out of control. If sleepers are still coming through, does that mean she’s still bringing them? And for what, especially if it's destroying the world? And perhaps, the most damning of thoughts. The idea he was ripped away from everything on a whim... it’s messed up.
A sigh. ] It's a lot to process, and this is an incredible find. [ His voice light but his eyes heavy. Although interested in this research, it is times like this, that remind him why he began looking into all of this in the first place. ]
So sorry for the late response!
