[Willow can't help but think of Glory, and she finds her thoughts are much the same - she would rather the hands off approach as well.]

Yeah. You and me both on that, I think.

[It certainly doesn't sound like, for all the stability Trench supposedly has to offer, they are any better off than they were in the dream. The idea that they've traded one being unconsciously throwing horror at them for a dozen that sound prone to doing so simply because they lack for entertainment doesn't sound particularly promising.]

I'm guessing we don't actually have a way to stop them, or at minimize the damage they could do.

[necrolord]

Not at the moment.

[ This he says quiet and wry. ]

But we're learning. I've been researching them— with a bit of your help, actually. It sounds like your form of magic didn't come through the transition wholly intact. Maybe no one's did. There's been some catching up to do.

[It's hardly a shock that they don't have a way to at least keep the damage the Pthumerians can potentially do to a minimum. In her experience, there's a good chance that's going to take time, creativity, and probably a bit of luck too.

They'll figure it out.

The news that her magic did not come through intact causes Willow's eyebrows to knit together in concern. Maybe it shouldn't be a surprise, given magic in Deerington could be inconsistent at best, but somehow, she expected more of this world, where by all accounts, their situation should be far more stable.]

Umm... How 'not wholly intact' are we talking here?

[necrolord]

I'd invite you to give it a try, but from the sound of it, there's a risk of... headaches and mysterious feedback, I believe?

[ He does, at least, look sympathetic. ]

It's more consistently shot than in Deerington, if I understand correctly. We've been trying to crack the 'how' and 'why.'

[frogfear]

[No magic certainly does feel like a good reason for why she couldn't stand against Maul. She only barely got away from him the first time he had come after her because she took him off guard with a couple spells.]

Ah... Uh. It's probably not a good idea to even try then when I'm not feeling a hundred percent. I'm guessing we haven't had any real luck yet.

[necrolord]

Not so much.

[ Definitely sympathetic. It's at this point the kettle whistles, and God rises to retrieve their tea. ]

Back in a moment. You think about questions for us to run through.
